Sharkoon expands their range of gaming peripherals and introduces a solid stereo headset for demanding gamers. High quality 40 mm drivers win over not just computer gamers with its precise and powerfully specific audiophile sound. Optimum voice transmission is promised thanks to the pop filter microphone, which is also detachable.

The Sharkoon B1 Stereo Headset is all-black and leaves a solid, purist impression with its materials and workmanship. The reinforced headband, with synthetic leather and stylish stitching, is comfortably padded for optimum wear comfort. The massive height adjustors of the ear cups are made from brushed aluminium and promises corresponding longevity. Mesh metal covers decorate the outside of the matte finished ear cups. But it is the sound quality of the B1 which leaves a lasting impression. High quality, powerful 40 mm drivers are used, offering brilliant highs and sonorous bass with an audiophile sound.



Thick pads from soft synthetic leather completely surrounds the ear and efficiently contributes to suppress ambient noise. The detachable microphone is equipped with a pop filter, providing optimum voice transmission. The position of the microphone can always be individually customized, thanks to its flexible microphone arm. Without the microphone, the headset is also suitable as a headphone. Thanks to its TRRS stereo jack, the B1 is not only compatible with smartphones, but also with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One controllers as well as notebooks and Ultrabooks with modern TRRS ports.

The headset cable is deliberately kept short at 110 cm and is practical for mobile usage or for connecting to a controller. The headset can also connect to computers by use of its included extension cable with TRRS port and two 3.5 mm stereo jacks. An inline controller is integrated into the extension cable for convenient access to both the volume control and microphone mute. When using the extension, the total cable length is 255 cm. All connectors on B1 are gold-plated; all cables are textile braided. Transport the headset and its accessories safely and securely within the included hardcase, with recesses and mounts provided.

The Sharkoon B1 Stereo Headset is now available for the suggested retail price of 59.90 euros from authorized retailers.

I have very similar headphones that have the exact same design. Not sure of the name of the company, it was a re-brand of a re-brand. This looks like another re-brand of those speakers with a mic and a bit cheaper than mine when I bought them 2 years ago but could actually be the same speakers. If that's the case, I would highly recommend them. I think they were the best headphones I could have bought for the money at the time (under 100€) and were highly praised by a lot of reviewers.
