The Pioneer 5.1 Surround Sound System for Xbox 360 has one goal in life: to produce quality sound. It has a pretty XBox finish, soft as a Southern accent, but don’t just judge it by the way it looks. Judge it by the 600 Watts of total system power, the Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 Surround sound processors. That’s enough output to drown out the noise from next door. Why are there three helicopters up there, anyway? Are they trying to capture Batman?

Anyway, the Pioneer 5.1 Surround Sound System for Xbox 360 has the 6 Channel digital amplification that today’s market demands. Oh, that market! It just keeps you in the spotlight, no matter how hard to try to escape! It makes you wish you could just drive over a photographer. But don’t worry, you’ll be able to use the ultra high-end calibration microphone to make things perfect. When properly used, the Auto MCACC setup will create a balanced sound like nothing you’ve ever heard. Combined with the Sound Retriever DSP technology, made specifically to bring out the best in your games or your music, you’ll be ready for the fun of having your little sister stop by for that pickles and ice cream jamboree!

Like all good systems, you’re able to position the Front and Center speakers away from each other without having a screaming match. I mean, really, if the 30 Watt Subwoofer had bothered to show up in court maybe this wouldn’t be happening. Just because it’s magnetically shielded doesn’t mean that the laws don’t apply.

Along with the Pioneer 5.1 Surround Sound System for Xbox 360 is a handy Universal Media Remote. It comes XBox ready and lets you access all those special X-Features that come with the Windows Media Center. You’ll find this helpful when you start to suffer from “exhaustion from dehydration” after you’ve been “working too hard”. We’ve all had those days. Sometimes it’s a chore just to put on underwear!

One Coaxial and two Optical Digital inputs, one Analog Audio input, it even has an FM/AM radio in case you want to find out if anyone is playing the new album. Those thirty presets will certainly help you look for anyone who’ll drop their needle on your haystack of a career. In the box you’ll find batteries, antennas, display stands, the cables and cords, and operating instructions. If only everything came with operating instructions! Then maybe we wouldn’t need a surprise visit from the ambulance.

Assuming they have a coax/optical digital output or an analog audio output, The Pioneer 5.1 Surround Sound System for Xbox 360 is compatible with any gaming system or audio device, from your living room to a trendy nightclub. Wouldn’t it be nice to fit in like that once more? But that’s the terrible secret about being young. One day you’ll just grow out of it, even if you aren’t ready.
