What it can be used with: Nintendo WiiU, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS
Pros:
| Small – The compact size makes it ideal for storage |
| Flexible – Easy to store, and easy to adjust |
| Durable – We dropped it on hard surfaces on MORE than one occasion… |

| Nintendo WiiU – Easy to use chat, and it is clear as it should be! |
Cons:

| Sound – Also has a tendency to not have enough bass which is something you should not expect |
| Colors (not a real con) – What about green? |

Overall the Kunai is a fantastic headset for the Nintendo brand of products. To be honest, this is the exact type of headset the Nintendo brand of products needed.
720+
Tritton 720+
Cost: $149.99
Inputs: Optical (digital), RCA
What it can be used with: Xbox 360, PS3 and sadly PC/Mac only in Europe
Pros:
| 7.1-channel surround sound – Enough said… |
| 12ft Cable – Allows for some room to be place between the television and yourself |
| Controls – Allows you to set your EQ for gaming, music or movies. Either way it sounds great! |
| Easy Storage – The console itself is small, which allows for more room wherever you have it |
| Over the ear – Allows the player to even hear the most smallest of pin drops in game. |
| Easy Setup – Literally it is fast as you would want this type of headset |
| Compatibility – Chat and sound work flawlessly on both the 360 and PS3 |
Cons:
| Bulky – It is heavy, and can at times become a strain on your neck if you plan on playing long sessions |
| 1 Optical – It would have been nice to have dual Optical ports, one for each console |
| Switching – As above, switching back and forth is a process I personally hate a lot |
Verdict:
So the Tritton 720+ is a great headset for those that own the PS3 and the Xbox 360. The greatest thing about this headset is that it is compatible with both, and chat works as well! I will say that you will have trouble finding a headset that is as good as this one and is compatible with BOTH the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Warhead 7.1
Tritton Warhead 7.1
Cost: $299.99
Inputs: Optical (digital), RCA
What it can be used with: Xbox 360
Pros:
| Easy to store – this little thing of beauty stores beautifully away in even the smallest of places |
| Sound – It is honestly the most epic sounding headset I have ever used… period |
| Chat – It works flawlessly with XBL chat, and can even just unplug the mic for silence as it is all wireless |
| Dolby – With Dolby Digital EVERYTHING sounds better… so how about Digital and Pro Logic II? Yea buddy |
| Rechargeable Batteries – Quite honestly the best thing about it, and it can be changed in the fly! |
| Wireless – As Tritton says: “Cut the cord” |
Cons:
| Bulky – It too is somewhat bulky, but not AS BAD as the 720+ |
| Comfort – Long gaming sessions are harder as the padding seems like it is plastic sometimes |
| Wireless (subjective) – In my experience chat sometimes did have my voice cut in and out |
Verdict:
As I stated above, this is easily the best headset all around I have ever used in my lifetime of gaming. I am hard-pressed to find another one that sounds as good as the Warhead 7.1.
