When Dead Space arrived at my door, I knew that I needed to play the survival horror shooter with three things: a pitch black room, no interruptions and quality surround sound. While I’m happy with my surround sound setup, my place has been a mess and I couldn’t sit in the middle of the room, where my speakers are all aimed. Considering all the speakers are screwed into the wall, moving them wasn’t an option.

That’s when Tritton came to my rescue. The hardware developer sent over the Audio Xtreme 360 headset, or AX360 for short. These headphones are made to work on the PC and 360, though any surround sound system will function properly with them. But to use it for speaking, only these two are possible. Sorry PS3, if only Sony wasn’t pushing Bluetooth so hard…

Point being, I had two of the three necessary tools to enhance my experience with Dead Space that much more. And no, there’s no such thing as no interruptions. Throughout my entire play through the title, as well as a few others, I wore the AX360’s and they did give me a better experience, but at a price.
