http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/dsc03258.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/03/madcatz-tritton-warhead-7-1-wireless-surround-sound-headset-for-xbox-360-review/)This is for sure: if you're a gamer seeking a primo wireless surround sound headset, now is a very good time to buy. It's been less than two weeks since Astro Gaming's A50 wireless surround headset (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/23/astro-gaming-a50-wireless-headset-review/)impressively traversed the Engadget review gauntlet, and now the crazy kitties that are Mad Catz and Tritton are up for a turn. It's taken the duo well over a year and a half (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/04/mad-catz-exclusive-xbox-360-wireless-headphones-revealed-integ/) to get its full range of Microsoft-licensed Xbox 360 headsets off the ground, with the flagship Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Sound Headset set to hit shelves in just a few days.
Aside from packing some innovative and exclusive features for Xbox 360 users, it stands as the only totally integrated wireless headset for the system -- for the first time you won't need a pesky controller-to-headset cable or a controller-mounted Bluetooth dongle (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/08/turtle-beach-xbox-chat-adapter-gets-the-hands-on-treatment-admi/)for voice chat. We've been fortunate enough to get an early look at this $300 Dolby Headphone-enabled headset, so join us past the break and we'll let you know whether it's been worth the wait -- or whether it's too much, too late.
