    With the AX360, gamers can hear when their enemies are sneaking up behind them, the roar of engines as they pass the competition, bullets flying from side to side, explosions emitting from all directions over the battlefield, and every nuance of every different environment – no matter what kind of game they’re playing.  With the removable microphone that is XBOX Live compatible, gamers can communicate with the system and other gamers.  The AX360 sound box can support two headsets to share in the chaos.  Secondary headsets will be available for $59.99 MSRP.  The AX360 is not only the perfect gaming headset, it is also ideal for enjoying DVD movies to their original sound.
