I own the AX pro's. They're confortable, with cushion on each ear piece and where it sits on your the top of your head. 7.1 is fine, but most of the video games run 5.1. Similar to how the ps3 is capable of supporting 1080p, yet most games run in a native resolution below 720p. The directional sound on the AX Pros is excellent. Now, I've heard about the x41's being paired with Astro's Mix amp, but this is emulated surround sound designed for gaming headsets, not true 5 or 7.1 Meh, just get the trittons.
The problem is that Ninja Pro in this game is supposedly completely silent. You can hear if they walk over debris, or other elements in the environment that make sound, like grass or snow. It is going to be subtle. So, you have to have the volume up on the inline control to the middle / 4th setting for S*D and be in an area with a lot of debris so you can hear the movement. I can hear ninja pro movement up to 10-15 feet away if they a sprinting. If you are playing other game modes, forget about it. Just leave it at the 3rd setting with a - little - TD on the surround channels and that should be enough to give you a good read non-ninja pro movement. For my settings, I put the volume all the way up on the decoder, with about 3 button presses on the TD. No DRC. On the inline controller I usually have at the 2nd or 3rd setting. You can lower the bass all the way to green and this will give you better directional hearing on footsteps. Basically you need to key on gunfire locations and be more alert in this game.
