Tritton showing off gaming soundbar, headsets at CES 2009
Those Xtreme-loving audiophiles at Tritton are heading to CES next week and bringing with them a wireless 5.1 surround sound bar / subwoofer combo designed specifically with gamers in mind. Their presser touts how easily it connects to the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in addition to an iPod, MP3 player, PC, and that's unfortunately all the information we've got for now -- no pics, release date or price in sight. Additionally, they're also showcasing new Bluetooth accessories and Dolby 5.1-equipped gaming headsets. Hopefully we'll be able to fill in the missing details in just a few days.
Tritton intros AX BlueStream Bluetooth stereo headset
Granted, Tritton's latest Bluetooth stereo headset isn't nearly as likely to garner strange looks in public as one of those tried and true BT earpieces, but we suppose we can live without all the negative attention if necessary. The AX BlueStream features a simple, 2.5-inch long clip-on device that enables users to stream tunes to earbuds of their choice via the 3.5-millimeter audio out, handle phone calls via the built-in microphone and check caller ID information on the integrated OLED display. Additionally, the unit boasts USB connectivity and can be used for PC / Mac-based VoIP calling if that's your bag. For those looking to give that ear a rest (and regain some sense of pride in the process), you can pick up Tritton's alternative right now for $79.99.
Sweet 5.1 Live headset
Xbox Evolved points us in the direction of the AX360 headset -- though they failed to put any links to it on their page. Nonetheless, the AX360 is a complete surround sound/Xbox Live compatible headset. It provides true 5.1 surround sound through 8 speakers (four in each ear cup) using the Xbox 360's optical port. The headset also includes a microphone for online play, making it an ideal solution for those late night gaming sessions or significant others who don't appreciate the noise -- though you might have to explain why you're talking to the TV. The unit can be had for around US $130, possibly less if you look hard enough. The reviews seem to be pretty positive -- though Xbox 360 Fanboy has not received one to review and then give away in a buzz generating contest (ahem). Are you listening, Tritton Technologies?
