CONCLUSION

   Unfortunately our 4 year old retired XBOX 360 wouldn't even power on after we took it out from the closet and so we were unable to test some of the features of the Detonator Stereo Headset (including the microphone). We did however use it for almost a full month with MP3/4 players, smartphones, A/V amplifiers and two of our test rigs while playing various game titles including such Planetside 2 and Hawken. The results are actually quite good since thanks to its 50mm neodymium drivers the Detonator Stereo Headset is very good in terms of bass (deep and plenty) and mids but i can't say that i was very satisfied with the clarity of its highs especially when listening to my favorite tunes. Perhaps that's because lately we've been testing many high end headsets that feature extremely crisp highs but nonetheless it is what it is and so the Detonator Stereo Headset may be quite good for playing games but listening to music is not its strong point (not that anyone would purchase an XBOX 360 headset for music purposes). The padding of the earcups and the headband along with the swivel feature of the earcups do make the headset quite comfortable but at first it does feel a bit stiff.

   As we speak the TRITTON Detonator Stereo Headset for the XBOX 360 retails for a very attractive price tag of USD62.97 inside the USA (Purchase Directly from Amazon.com) and for around 75Euros inside the EU (Purchase Directly from Amazon.co.uk). Of course once again the price inside the EU is nowhere close to the one in the USA but still i wouldn't call that expensive for this specific headset (a small price cut however wouldn't hurt). Overall the Detonator Stereo Headset is a good all-around player that i can easily recommend even to people who may not have an XBOX 360 to begin with but are looking for a medium sized headset with good audio quality which they will not feel embarrassed to wear while at the gym (or anyplace for that matter) and that's why it gets our Golden Award.
