Sharkoon launches X-Tatic AIR Wireless headset
Sharkoon launches X-Tatic AIR Wireless headset, developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3, but is also compatible with PC, Wii as well as TV sets and other sound sources with RCA audio outputs. The digital 2.4 GHz transmission technology of the X-Tatic AIR ensures clear voice and gaming sound within a radius of up to ten meters from the console or rather the transmitter unit*, while the enclosed NiMH batteries support gaming sessions of up to ten hours.
Comfortable!
The X-Tatic AIR adjusts perfectly to the shape of your head with its adjustable, padded headband, soft ear cushions and individually adjustable ear cups. It guarantees a comfortable fit even during all night gaming sessions.
Great Connectivity!
Two separate analog audio inputs allow it to be simultaneously connected to the console and attached to a TV or other audio source. Through the transmitter either audio input can be selected. Connecting the AIR is quick and easy with little effort. Also, the X-Tatic AIR can easily be connected via USB to a PC.
Communication!
Through the noise-canceling microphone background noises are effectively minimized, resulting in voice commands being clearly and precisely understood. The microphone can be detached from the headset, so that it is not in the way when in use with a music player or TV. If needed, the microphone can be muted through a corresponding button on the headset; a built-in LED on the microphone indicates when the mute function has been activated. Chat and game volume can be regulated separately to create a perfect sound balance and ensure clear communication with other players at all times.
Energy Saving!
If after three minutes no adjacent sound is detected the Auto-Sleep function activates the Standby mode, which ensures that power consumption is reduced to a minimum. The practical headset suspension at the base of the transmitter allows secure storage of the headset when not in use. Depending on spatial conditions the hanger can also be removed.
Noise Dampening!
Ambient noises are effectively isolated through the closed, ear encompassing headset design. At the same time it creates an enclosed area around the ears allowing the sound dimension of the 40 mm drives to fully unfold. Three preconfigured equalizer modes offer appropriate sound settings for use in different sound settings***.
Gamer Suitable!
The X-Tatic AIR was specifically tailored to the needs of gamers: For particularly extensive gaming sessions, an extra set of AAA batteries for the headset can be charged battery-charging station of the transmitter while in use. Thus, after a brief battery change over, another ten hours of additional gaming can commence. This charging unit also offers the possibility to charge AA batteries since they are needed in the Xbox® Gamepad. Corresponding AA and AAA batteries are already included within packaging of the headset. A warning signal indicates the low battery level while in game mode, allowing enough time for a change.
The transmitter unit of the AIR also offers a USB charging port. Since USB ports on the PS3 are rare, a corresponding USB charging port is integrated into the base: Here, the Gamepad can be easily charged. Of course, the charging port is also suitable for other compatible devices (i.e. smartphone, MP3 players, etc.). Both the battery and the Gamepad charging function are available even if the transmitter unit is in standby mode.
The headset controls are easily accessible on the headphones. This ensures that the gameplay is not interrupted for long periods of time while searching for the right buttons.

Stereo I would say. They have launched their 5.1 headset earlier. http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/sharkoon_x_tatic_pro_5_1_dolby_digital_headset.html
That 5.1 headset is going to suck and I can tell that even without knowing more than it has eight speakers total.
This X-Tatic Air then, they mentioned gaming and said that it can change batteries, charging batteries is fine but when someone mentioned about it being "gaming headset/gaming suitable" it usually means bad sound quality. Not completely sure about this one though. So two questions, is it any good and how much does it cost ?

Meantime,check out the Razer Tiamat's. They have 10 speakers. Five in each cup. 5.1 and 7.1 analog headphones have come a long way. Not just for gamers any more. I was a staunch Psyko guy,til I hooked up the Tiamat's. In my opinion,there is no better analog surround headphones than the Tiamat's. I know of what I speak. I have owned almost every set available.
