Tritton AXPC 5.1 USB Gaming Headset Reviewed. Verdict: Comfy, but OpenAL Unfriendly

Headsets have gone a long way from mono, stereo to now 5.1 surround sound. Surround sound is really like dual monitors. Once you have tried it, you don't want to go back. So when your new neighbor calls the cops on you for having the volume too loud, or you're attending a LAN party with no speakers permitted, it's imperative to have a backup plan. Enter the Tritton USB gaming headset, offering true 5.1 surround thanks to 4 individual drivers in each cup, rumble feedback, and a detachable boom mic to keep those late night gaming sessions rocking. The headset is exclusively USB in case you miss it in the product name so you wouldn't be able to connect to a MD player or iPod. Full review after jump.
