Primer Wireless Stereo Headset for Xbox 360

Officially licensed for the Xbox 360 console, TRITTON’s Primer Wireless Stereo Headset uses 5.8 GHz wireless technology to provide clear and precise game audio. Access to critical headset functions like volume and mic mute are only a finger-tap away. With the ability to independently adjust chat volume and game volume on-the-fly, you gain the power to easily fine-tune your audio experience.



Premium 5.8 GHz Wireless Technology Provides Crisp Stereo Game Audio

The Primer’s 5.8 GHz wireless technology offers far superior audio clarity when compared to the industry standard 2.4 GHz. Many wireless products on the market today are on the 2.4 GHz band and if your headset operates within this frequency, it’s prone to interference from cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, and even your microwave oven. The Primer’s 5.8 GHz wireless range sidesteps potential interference by utilizing a much larger bandwidth.



Separate Game and Voice Volume Controls

If the chat audio coming through your controller gets distracting and starts to hinder your online gameplay experience, a few headset button presses will quickly tune your opponent out. Game volume can also be adjusted on-the-fly so you can drown out your foe's voice but still hear stealthy in-game footsteps creeping up behind you.



Amplified 40mm Speakers with Neodymium Magnets

Utilizing the highest quality drivers available for use in commercial headsets—Neodymium— high-fidelity game and chat audio is pumped through a pair of amplified 40mm speakers for rich bass and crisp highs.

Includes Everything Needed to Connect to any Xbox 360

Whether your console is legacy or current-gen and connected to a display via HDMI or component/VGA/composite, the Primer is ready to go right out of the box. All required cables and adapters are included to help ensure you can connect to any Xbox 360 within minutes.



Ergonomically Designed for Extreme Comfort

When gaming for hours on end, headset comfort is a must. The Primer delivers with a padded, adjustable headrail - - which extends an extra 1.25 inches on either side to accommodate a wide range of head sizes - - and soft, pliable earcups which keep ambient sounds at bay. The earcups also swivel to provide a comfortable around-the-neck resting position.



Product Description

Set yourself free with the TRITTON Primer Wireless Headset. The Primer Wireless Stereo Headset is the first truly wireless Xbox 360 stereo headset - no need to connect a chat cable to your gamepad. 5.8GHz wireless technology ensures interference-free operation from 2.4GHz wireless devices-including other gamepads-and provides crystal-clear audio at a range of 30 feet. High-fidelity game and chat audio is pumped through a pair of precision-balanced 40mm speakers boasting Neodymium magnets. The Trigger is the ideal headset for all your Xbox 360 gaming needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars the way to go on wireless at this moment January 13, 2012
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I really like this head set..a lot.. i mostly play Black Ops with them but have found that i want to use it with every game i play...not to mention with netflix and hulu plus ...not having a huge surround sound system or anything of the sort this really fills that void... and also if you have a girlfriend that does not particularly want to hear the sound of gun fire all night while she is surfing the web or reading a book this is perfect.. but i can also still hear if someone is talking to me in the room if it is at a lower volume.. and still hear if someone is creeping up behind me in Black Ops(i'm a casual gamer and it has helped me gain more kills per round).. you still have to be wired to the controller to chat with people.. but no biggy there..i don't usually have it wired up my self.. the separate volume for the chat and gameplay sounds respectively is an awesome feature( its so nice to just turn some people off and not listen to some of the crap that comes out).... on comfort... it wasn't immediate for me( kinda along the lines of the dude with the big ears complaint) but once i adjusted them and played a few rounds i never looked back.. plus i already had the habit of taking of the old head set and setting down the controller between matches anyway... but i'm finding more and more that i don't really notice them there and keep them on for a couple of hours at a time now... and now for sound... this is what really sold me on it... besides the stuff that i've already mentioned.. i really wanted to go wireless .. my controller is wireless so why should i be wired to my xbox with my head set?? that was just out of the question for me.. this is 5.8 ghz compared to the 2.nothin' ghz of the turtle beach... i have experienced 0 static or interference .. i even walk into the kitchen between matches to get a brew( way beyond the distance specified) and i could still hear everything crystal clear.. the head set is powered as well with 2 AA batteries.. i have been using the same set for over 2weeks and still have not had to change them.. also.. one of the coolest things, i think anyway, is that the sound comes right out of the xbox .. so you can have the TV tuned all the way down as to not annoy your significant other.. or turn it up so that your friends that don't have the head set can hear everything as well... and as i mentioned before, you can adjust them where you can hear your buddy just fine as well as the gameplay sounds... i have read another complaint about static.. which prompted me to write this review... no static for me..not sure if there batteries where going dead.. or had some wires crossed ... i'm using the newest xbox 360;; so i don't know if that makes a difference ... i'm not saying there are not better ones out there(like the ones with Dolby surround sound) this set seems very "surround sound" to me.. i can always hear what side someone is coming up on or firing from.. which is pretty cool... i just don't see how it could get much better than this.. everything else kinda seems like a waste of money to go Dolby.. it is like they're charging you another 50 bucks for a name.. i hope this is helpful to some people .... i did not want people to buy a product just cause it has MW3 or what ever on it, and that's what you "must" use.. most importantly shop around try on what your friends are using ask people at game stores and remember you can always return something that doesn't work for you .. never settle... as for me i have found my set.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tritton Primer Wireless is a top performer February 6, 2012
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I recently tried out the Tritton's after using Ear Force X41 (XBOX LIVE Chat + Wireless Digital RF Game Audio with Dolby Headphone 7.1 Surround Sound) for the past few months. Both are similar in sound quality, but they each have their benefits over the other.

The first BIG thing, Trittons WORKED with my WIRELESS INTERNET. The Ear Force X41 (XBOX LIVE Chat + Wireless Digital RF Game Audio with Dolby Headphone 7.1 Surround Sound) caused interferance with my wireless network, forcing me to plug my xBox into my network via cable instead of wirelessly. The Trittons showed no sign of this problem, allowing me to put the xBox on whichever TV I wanted to, instead of the one closest to the internet router.

The other difference was comfort. This is going to be personall preference for everyone, but in my case I found the Ear Force X41 (XBOX LIVE Chat + Wireless Digital RF Game Audio with Dolby Headphone 7.1 Surround Sound) much more comfortable. The ear cups on the Tritton sit on top of my ears, while the Ear Force X41 (XBOX LIVE Chat + Wireless Digital RF Game Audio with Dolby Headphone 7.1 Surround Sound) ear cups fit over my ears.

The sound quality on both units is excellent. I do prefer the Tritton on how it attaches to the controller, the Turtle Beach's connection is weaker and has a tendancy to fall out or get loose over time. Many Turtle Beach users claim it actually stop working after a while, but I have not had that problem. This makes me want to point out...THEY ARE BOTH WIRELESS FROM YOUR GAMING SYSTEM, BUT BOTH NEED TO BE PLUGGED INTO THE CONTROLLER FOR CHAT OR PARTY USE. Both seem misleading in their descriptions on that point.

The controlls, volume, on/off, game volume, chat volume, are easier and more logically placed on the Tritton's as well.

Overall, I would say either would be a great choice. If you use a wireless network for your internet connection, I would say the Tritton has the Turtle Beach beat. Add to it that the Tritton's are slighly less expensive, and I would say Turtle Beach has some real competition now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Price, Awesome Headset! January 13, 2012
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
I was looking for a wireless headset for my xbox 360 for a while now. I was torn between a wired Turtle beach headset and a wireless Turtle beach headset. The price for their wireless was more than I was wanting to spend and I was worried about RF interference from my router and messing with the sound. Well I can tell anyone looking for a wireless headset go with this model. Ignore the low-level reviews. This JUST came out and those reviews were posted well before it's launch at CES.

Pros: Comfortable, affordable, great sound quality, I like the look of it.

Cons: It doesn't have wireless chat. You have to attach the headset to your controller for that.

Overall this is a GREAT headset for the money. Compared to other wireless headsets this is your best bet in my opinion. I mostly use it for the sound and not chat function. If you have kids, wife, or significant other who doesn't want to hear you play games, but you do, get this headset.

Better than the Turtle Beach X41s?
Hi there Chip, I would be gladly to answer that question.

Your TB X41's run on a 2.4Ghz frequency, which can be troublesome if you are using your Xbox controller, as well as being around any 2.4Ghz devices, such as phones or wireless routers. The Tritton Primer's use a 5.8Ghz Frequency, which... Read more
