Tritton is a brand name that has grown synonymous with high performance audio for hardcore gamers.  And although Tritton does offer some budget headsets for the masses, they seem to lack the simple aesthetics and instant brand recognition of their venerable surround headsets.  The Kunai scales down the simple but edgy aesthetics of its bigger (and more expensive) brethren, and packages neatly into a compact form factor rocking 40mm drivers.

Overview

TRITTON Kunai TRITTON's Kunai Stereo Headset delivers a comfortable, high-quality stereo experience for home console and handheld gaming. The Kunai outputs game and chat audio through a pair of precision-tuned, amplified* 40mm speakers employing Neodymium magnets. Providing the ability to adjust your chat volume and voice volume separately and on-the-fly*, the Kunai is the ideal headset for all your Sony gaming needs.

Durable Performance Mic can be Removed when not in use

When not communicating over the PlayStation Network and just listening to music or watching a movie on your Vita, a headset's microphone only gets in the way. Problem solved with the Kunai's removable solution - - it provides the freedom to use the mic only when necessary.

Designed for Extreme Comfort

Headset comfort is of utmost importance during extended gaming sessions. The Kunai keeps your ears comfy with its padded, adjustable headrail, which extends an extra 1.25 inches on either side to accommodate a wide range of head sizes. When it's time for a break from the action, the soft earcups swivel to provide a comfortable around-the-neck resting position.

Quick and Easy Setup

An easy-to-follow quick-start guide makes setup a snap. The headset connects directly to the PS Vita, but no matter which version PS3 console or controller you have, or how the console connects to the TV, the Kunai is ready to go right out of the box.

Specifications

Packaging

Tritton, being the premium gaming brand name that they are, understand the unboxing experience that first greets the anxious gamer who invested in a high-end product.  They've brought this experience along with the Kunai, and it gives you the feeling that great care went into the design of the headset if they paid so much attention to how the product unboxes.  A side window gives you a look at the cans, and the box unsleeves then uncorks to present a neat Tritton logo on the cover of the instruction manual.  All of the accessories are neatly tucked underneath awaiting your excited fingertips.

In addition to the quick installation manual, which has great pictures and clear instructions, a detachable microphone and the cable with the in-line volume control and PS3 connections are included.
