I bought this headset to play COD Black OPS on my Xbox 360. I was not very familiar with Sharkoon but after reading some reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I must say I am amazed at the sound quality in these, it's like you are in the middle of the game. It doesn't adverstise it, but I really can't hear anything else outside when I have these on. I also looked at the Earforce X11, but I even liked the look of these better.
I wore it for a few hours and it didn't even feel like anything was on my head. The cable that it comes with is a long,heavy, sturdy cable, so I dont have to worry about it when I run over it with my chair! With a detachable microphone, simple set up, comfort and great sound quality at a great price, what more do you need?

I've owned the Sharkoon X-Tatic SX headset since June, and it has not lived up to the expectations of these other reviews. I will say that the audio quality is good for its price, but obviously it can't compete with more expensive surround sound headsets or a full set of speakers. However, they do their job admirably.
Unfortunately, I feel as though there are a few design flaws with the item. To begin, the headset must be plugged into the Xbox USB port as well as to the composite audio cables (the "red/white" cables) simultaneously. This is not bad in idea, but it can be cumbersome in execution. If you have an entertainment system with your Xbox 360 several feet away from your TV, the cables may have to be stretched, or they may not reach for your particular home entertainment setup. I understand that this is the way the item functions, but it may not be perfect for someone sitting more than 5 feet from their television, or someone who has their TV mounted. Just something to consider before purchase.
Additionally, if you plan on using this with your Xbox 360 AND charging your controller at the same time, get a different headset. The feedback sound which occurs is unbearable, but I believe this is common with USB powered headsets in the first place (not a specific con with this item).
Also, my mute button broke after about a month of use. I take good care of my items, and it no longer works (I have tested it numerous times using both Skype and Xbox Live chat). I am not sure if it is the switch itself or the wiring, but it no longer functions. I was also having difficulty with my friends hearing me in Xbox live chat the other day, and I switched to my other mic and it worked fine. It is hard to say if it's a result of this headset failing to perform it's job, Xbox live not working well, or my controller acting strangely (too many variables to isolate in that limited play session).
And the boom on the mic is very durable. The construction is great and the quality of my voice is good overall.
So, purchase if:
1. Your Xbox 360 and TV are in close proximity to one another, and you are looking for a light headset that will provide quality sound for your gaming experience. (Your mileage may vary with the mute button, though.)
2. You have neighbors and/or a significant other who hates when you play Call of Duty/Skyrim/(insert game here) late at night and need a quiet alternative.
3. You wish to double-up on a PC headset as well as an Xbox 360 headset.
Do not purchase if:
1. Your entertainment system is spread out, or you are more than 5 feet from your television.
2. You hate wires going everywhere, because there are several to move around, and it can become cumbersome at times. (If you are playing on your Xbox 360: Wires to the Composite cable, a wire between the controller and the in-line volume control box, a wire to the USB port, and if you dare charge your controller at the same time, another wire there.)
