Sharkoon’s X-Tatic SP gaming headset: One size fits all

Critical Gamer writes: Is Sharkoon’s X-Tatic SP a PS3 headset, an Xbox 360 headset, or a PC headset? The answer is ‘yes’ once, twice, and thrice. Is it, perhaps, a Wii headset as well? The answer there is: er, sort of.

The X-Tatic SP screams ‘luxury’ in your face before you even rip it eagerly out of the packaging, peeking cheekily at you from behind a cardboard curtain (as seen above). Once free of its partially recyclable prison however, it may instead start screaming ‘Ikea’ at you like a drunken auntie instead. It’s a four piece deal – the main body of the headset, the microphone, a joypad adapter for the 360, and a Component Cable Hijack Device (my personal name for it, more on which later).
