Astro A40's and Tritton AX Pro's aren't wireless and they both are compatible with the PS3, XBOX, and PC.


I have Astro A40's and I ****ing love them. Have had them for three years and have had zero problems with them. They are comfortable as hell and they work extremely well for pinpointing enemies in any game.

They aren't "true" surround sound though because they only have two speakers, they are awesome for pinpointing enemies in front, behind, and to the left and right of you, but they can't tell you if they are above or below you (you can still hear when people are above you, but you don't know instantly that they are above you because the headset can only tell you front, back, left, and right)

The Tritton AX Pro's actually have "true" surround sound because they have 8 speakers but I have heard the mic breaks easily, they feel pretty heavy on your head, and aren't very comfortable. They are $100 cheaper than the A40's though.

I ended up going with an Astro Mixamp and a set of Sennheiser PC360s. Very happy with the setup.
