Inside each ear cup, the AX Pro houses a front speaker, center speaker, rear speaker and subwoofer. By providing a full 4 speaker configuration inside each ear cup, the AX Pro replicates a typical 5.1 home cinema installation, providing gamers with a truly realistic and unparalleled audio experience. Individual backlit volume controls are located on the handy in-line remote and allow gamers to fine-tune each channel (front, rear, center, subwoofer), at the touch of a button, without hiding controls away on the ear cup. The in-line remote allows pro-gamers to dial-in the exact sound field needed to get a competitive advantage including raising rear drivers levels and adjusting the bass. Premium-quality ear pads deliver hours of gaming comfort for extended gaming sessions and a detachable, flexible microphone transmits crystal-clear voice commands to teammates over Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network.
