Don't use TV speakers for Xbox, use these!

Compared to other headsets...absolutley no idea.
Compared to using sound coming from the TV at night when kids are sleeping. EPIC!!!

I bought these for my brother for his birthday. He played the Battlefield 3 beta using TV sound. Then he got these the day we got BF3 on xbox and he was completely and utterly captivated by the sound.
My point is, these are a sickly fantastic option compared to hearing through crummy TV speakers.

I compared this set (SX) to my set (SR) and the SX didn't have the USB hiss or the voice chat problem that my SR model does.

The Sharkoon headset models SX, SP, and SR are all the same, with different colors. The component features connected to the headset are what make them different.

THE CRAZIEST thing to me is people either confused by or upset with the number of cables. UH?? Have you seen how many cables are in your car or computer? It's because every part has to be connected with a WIRE. How else is it all supposed to work?
Cables are stable, moveable, hot-swappable, resistant to interference, and replaceable. I'm actually all for cables, the idea of a $240 wireless set is just goofball.

Notes:
-USB powered sometimes creates white noise/hiss, but the SX doens't have that problem. If yours does, then something is wrong.
-I'm not sure all the cables are white, but the headset it and it looks cool, especially next to the white Xbox 360.
-mic volume / voice chat is good to great. I say this with first-hand experience because my brother uses this set and I listen to him. He is clear as day, maybe a bit fuzzy, but he is talking quietly at night with the mic close to his mouth so as not to wake kids. The mic DOES NOT have a wind foam on it so that is probably why it is breathe sensitive.
-no sound insulation in the headphones section, in other words, these are not sound isolating headphones; too much noise outside will compete.
-headphones tend to break. These don't seem cheap, but they aren't metal either. So maybe get a square trade warranty?

LISTEN, if you have any questions, just ask. And please click "yes" if this was helpful.

I am exclusively playing Call of Duty Black Ops at the moment (Prestige 7) and I had been using a set of Sony cans for playing at night but it's basically impossible to use the traditional one ear standard headset when using regular headphone cans. I started looking at PC headsets but they pretty much all suck or don't work well for Xbox 360. I found these while they were on sale and decided to give them a try. Immediately I found the build and more importantly the comfort of wearing these to be pretty exceptional. I can easily use these all day without them bothering my ears. I'm not going to argue they are the best sounding headphones ever... but I do think they are really quite good. the powered base definitely gives you the feeling that you are right in the middle of the action and I was amazed how much they improved my gaming since I could all of the sudden hear oncoming footsteps with great clarity. Now I don't even bother playing with speakers anymore. This headset comes with an extremely long and tough cable and it can be used for just about any game console or computer. It has a volume control module with separate sliders for game and headset chat volume as well as a microphone mute button. The microphone is also detachable if you don't want to use it. It comes with a chat cable to connect to your controller. I would have preferred if they included a cable that was compatible with the chat pad but I might just pick one up at radio shack.

Good first headset

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2013

I bought this headset after doing some searching for a good gaming headset. Overall, I am pretty pleased.

The sound quality is good and I can definitely hear my surroundings better when playing FPS. The sound is stereo though, so you can only pinpoint the source of sound in a general sense. However, using this headset is still better than my TV speakers.

The sound is nice and dense, but my brother has some Turtle Beaches that were only slightly more expensive; they seem better. His have 50mm speakers instead of the 40s that are present in the Sharkoon SX. The Turtle Beaches are more rich and even have a volume control for bass sounds, which I really enjoy.

That being said, the sound quality on this headset is still good. The more I use these the more I enjoy them. Gaming with a headset is so much better than gaming without.

They fit comfortably on your head and you can wear them for extended periods of time with little to no discomfort on your ears. Also, I have pretty large ears and this headset accommodates well for that.

The microphone is my biggest problem with the headset. It works fine, people can hear me speak, but the layout bothers me. The mic plugs into the bottom side of the left ear cup and then rotates to lock in place. Since it plugs in, you can remove it which makes for easy storage and portability, and you could even plug into the microphone jack on your PC since it uses the standard .35mm jack size. However, the mic is short. I feel like I can't get it positioned exactly where I want in front of my mouth; it's always off to the side and I have to speak a little louder than I really want to, but on the positive side, it doesn't pick up little things like yawns or deep breathes.

TL;DR
Again, as an overall experience, I really like this headset. I am glad I purchased it. I think in the future, I would like to go with a 5.1 surround headset, but those are considerably more expensive. I think I gave Amazon about $45-$50 for this headset and I am pleased with the price. This is a good value headset and has made my gaming experience better. For now, this cheapish headset will do the trick, but I feel I might want to upgrade in the future.

This is a good starter headset, but it' definitely not the last headset you would ever want to buy.
