Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me

I ordered these 2 days ago and am waiting for them to arrive. After reading all the reviews good/bad I still wanted a pair. I've been gaming since original nintendo came out so gaming is a part of my life and any advantage I can have always helps. I will update my review after a week or two on these headsets.

This is a great headset that I would recommend to anyone that is looking to invest some money into a performance headset for gaming. Its also great with blu ray movies and pc gaming. Only draw back is all the wires but who cares really, when you have great sound.

I've owned this headset for about six-months now, and it is still in perfect condition. I had owned Turtle Beaches before, but they can't even compete with the quality of this headset. The sound is excellent and I can switch the cable from my PlayStation over to my PC in a few seconds.The sound can be tuned to your desire allowing for optimal sound for any game, movie, etc. My only complaint is the lack of a separate chat volume control, but this is easily resolved by going into the game setting and adjusting the chat and game volume.

Love this headset. My wife got them for me for my birthday after i picked them out of course. Did alot of research on headsets and decided I'd to with these.. The look is awesome, It can be a little hard to hear the sounds behind you sometimes but i think that's mostly the game not the headset. Alot of people complain about not having a seperate chat volume so the sounds can over power the chat. I had this problem but solved it by going into the game menu under sound and turning down the in game sound. this made the chat nice and clear and the actual game sound quieter. Great for movies or games.. Love the removable mic.

i bought these in feb. based on the review by ign. suffice it to say these are a major upgrade over sony mdr150's.

first the cons.

mine have a mild manufacture defect in which the headphone's power plug has a bad wire. i have had this happen with other things so i knew how to fix it. other than that, no issues.

now the pros.

they sound great. on my pc, which is what i use them for most of the time, they do a decent job with online games, videos on youtube and hulu, online radio broadcasts and the occasional streaming movie.

for dvds they work great, although i never remember to activate 5.1ss.

ps3 with optical is outstanding! i have been playing gt5 for the past couple days and these bring the cars to life. i dont use the cockpit view if i can help it but the front bumper cam gives some real nice trans. whine and tire squeal.

i have rented medal of honor and did a campaign with these. i couldnt hear behind me too well but thats because the rear is overpowered by the front. the gunfire is awesome and you hear sounds you never heard before!

watching blurays is really cool. watching red baron, you can hear things going on behind you and the voices are as clear as can be, even with airplane engines and gunfire.

i cant comment on the microphone as i havent used it, but i did discover that you can use that usb to hook up your pc without the 3.5mm plugs, making it laptop compatible.

unimportant tidbits.

i would have liked the power for the headphones to come from the SCU. i would also liked it if the 3.5mm bundle could have plugged directly into the SCU, this would make switching sources way easier.

anyway, these are well worth the price even with the mild issue i had.

The sharkoons were disigned and manufactured in GERMANY. Dont know if this means anything to anyone, thought id throw that it.

I have owned quite a few of gaming headsets. I buy one then read about another headset, get sucked in and buy that one too. So heres a list of the best WIRED headsets that ive used. Im going to compare the Sharkoons to these -

1. Sharkoon X-TATIC Digital - $160 + Best Overall, Sound, comfort, Durability
2. Tritton AX PRO - $170 + Very similar to AX PRO, just less Comfortable
3. Astro a40 with mix amp - $250 + Sound great, But for the price they should sound better than the less expensive tritton and sharkoon.
4. Turtle Beach DPX21 - $150 + Sound awesome, Break easy
5. Turtle Beach PX21 - $80 + Best bang for the buck. Break easy
6. Tritton AX 720 - $130 + Low cost, Better than most headsets unless listed above.

First off Sharkoon X Tatic and the Tritton AX PRO are basically the same headset, just different casing. The sound quality between these 2 are Identical. The only difference is COMFORT!! The sharkoons are way more comfortable. So If you play more than 30 min to hours at a time, sharkoons are the way to go.

Sharkoons compaired to the Astro a40 setup - The sharkoons sound better, and are easier to setup and use. For the price of astros you would expect them to blow tritton and sharkoon out of the water, but actually the trittons and sharkoons sound better. Comfort wise sharkoon and astro are pretty similar. Both are same in durability.

Sharkoon compaired to the Turtle Beach DPX21 - I actually like the DPX21 better than the sharkoons. If you like more bass the DXP21 are the way to go. At times I could hear a little static when a game would be loading, but once sound came through the static would go away. Comfort wise same. Durability the turtle beaches are garbage, they left ear cup that has the mic attached to it always breaks off. Very common problem. Very poor design.

Compaired to PX21 - The PX21 is the same headset as the DPX21. Only difference is the DPX21 comes with the DSS amp. The PX21 is only a stereo headset with the DSS amp. But the sound is awesome from these things. With out the DSS unit they cant compare to sharkoon, ax pro, astros. But hey sound better than the ax 720. And there only $80!! Crazy. If your on a budget these are the way to go. Then you could always add the DSS amp later.

The AX 720 are my least favorite of these. But they are also the least expensive. They dont have TRUE 5.1, its a simulated setup like the DPX21. But you can tell the ax 720 are simulated, with the DPX21s you cant.

Cost wise they all are with in the same price range, besides the astros. For only $80 the PX21 are your best bang for buck.
I hope my rambling will help someone to decide on a headset.

i use these bad boys when i play games like blur and cod black ops. they really up my game and make me feel more powerful than ever. the mic is really nice too. everyone hears me over any other mic and its crystal clear. when you first set it up it needs some fine tunning adjustment but i really enjoy them although they are on the expensive side.

These headsets may seem awesome and some might agree to that, but for me unfortunately it was the worst headset ever! I got a faulty pair but I can't overlook it. First off I thought that these headphones would be the best. Boy was I wrong, not only did these headphones cost a lot, they came with a bunch of cables, wires and adapters. I tried them on my xbox and really didnt feel the greatness everyone speaks of. Then I tried it on my ps3, not any better and pc was alright but not so great. Not only did they not wow me but they were pretty heavy for a pair of head sets. Because of the heavyness it was not comfortable at all to wear for over 2 hours of game play. I understand it is suppose to be 5.1 dolby surround sound but in reality they are not true 5.1 dolby surround sound and doubt headsets will ever reach true 5.1 dolby surround sound. The desgin concept is a nice but fit awkwardly. The microphone was aright but the fact u have to screw it in to talk or screw it out to not have it there makes me think that eventually it would have broken. After about a week or two of use the sound went out no matter what combinations I tried to fix for the volume. I returned for being faulty and ended up buying Steel Series. To those out there that find these headphones awesome kudos to you because these were a pain to me. Hope you guys found the perfect combination of sound quality for your in game FPS.

I will have to say that this is a excellent product; First the design, is really comfortable (even better that Trition), Second the price, this head set is the cheapest for the way that perform , what I meant by this is that you can’t find a 5.1 surround sound and compatible with ps3, Xbox 360 and pc for $150 bucks. If you want a top of the line headset and don’t want to pay close to $200.00 dollars, then this is for you !!!

Expensive for what it's offering.

Posted 3/7/11

While this product is high quality and does enhance gaming, you can still find a better buy just by looking around. There are a good number of headsets that are 5.1 and even 7.1 Surround Sound under $150 dollars. For Example:
http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/ear-force-dpx21-51-71-surround-sound-wired-headset-with-chat/89630
Simply getting the job done doesn't justify this headset for being pricy.
