You may not be able to get fully positional 5.1 surround sound from the TRITTON AX360 but you do have 8.0 from them, there are actually four speakers in each earpiece. So I am not sure if you want to call the AX360 a true 5.1 or not but with the four speakers blowing in each ear it does a great job of not faking surround sound but giving you a real surround sound experience.
The TRITTON AX360 comes in several pieces; the headset itself with a very long cord, the AX360 Digital Decoder Box, Power Adapter, Optical Toslink Cable, Coax Cable, G9 PC Adapter, Removable Microphone, Microphone Extension Cable, Carrying Case and Quick Start Guide. The AX360 headset has a 13 foot cable and has four volume controls on the inline controller and the microphone has the extension cable that is four feet long.
The setup is pretty simple and will of course depend on what your connecting the AX360 to, it can connect to a console system with optical or coax digital output and the microphone uses the integrated digital or separate 2.5mm microphone connection. The Digital Converter has both an optical and coax connection as well as two headphone connections and three 5.1 surround sound outputs.
The AX360 allows you to connect two headphones to the digital converter so you and a friend can game or listen to the music that the system puts out. You can have the two different inputs connected to two devices at the same time and use the two position switch between them to change form optical to digital input.
The other functions on the decoder box are a master volume, time delay, dynamic range and an on/off button as well as four LED lights to show the status of power, Dolby Digital, Pro Logic and DRC. The time delay and dynamic range compression are items you may not even bother with, I didn’t do much with them myself but they are there if you’re interested in fine tweaking your sound.

The TRITTON AX360 takes either a digital or optical digital signal and outputs it to the headphones using the two headphone outputs or the three 5.1 surround sound output connections. The decoder box can output to both outputs for headsets and the 5.1 surround sound at the same time as well as have the input from either the optical or coax input.
