Mad Catz has announced that it's partnering with Microsoft to produce the first "wireless, licensed and co-brandedheadphones" for the Xbox 360. The headphones will be manufactured under the Tritton brand and will come in both stereo and Dolby 5.1 varieties. They should hit the shelves in time for the 2011 holiday season.

The press release is short on other details, though hopefully the headphones will pack Microsoft's proprietary wireless tech, allowing them to circumvent the cumbersome setup required by Tritton's current 360 compatible headsets. Like, if the new headsets don't have two AC adapters, that would be great.

I love my Tritton AX Pros. I think Joystiq may be wrong about the power adapter configuration as well. The earlier versions of my headset required two separate power supplies but they changed that a while ago. I know that wireless is nice but I think if they go that route it will be at the expense of audio quality.

I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
