Sharkoon released a new headset aimed at gamers and mobile users alike, and it comes in a retro design that I quite personally quite like. The robust construction should give you a long durability as well as comfort while wearing it. The large 40mm speakers are padded well for extra wearing comfort and so is the headband. The headset is adjustable with screws on both sides, a mechanism that should last a lot longer than the click-adjustment methods that most headsets have in the headband. The microphone arm is adjustable too and also removable for the sessions where you don’t need to talk to anyone.
Sharkoon included two cables with the Shark Zone H30 headset which both use gold-plated connectors and allow for a modular use.
You can connect the headset to a PC via two 3.5 mm stereo jacks, one for the microphone and the other for the headphones, and you get a total cable length of 260cm. The second setup method for the cable is for modern laptops and smartphones as well as the PS4 where you connect the headset via a single 3.5mm TRRS plug that provides both microphone and headphone connection. In this setup you’ll have a total cable length of 120cm.
The ear piece padding reduces ambient noise thanks to the closed design and in return it also keeps the sound insulated from the outside world, allowing you to concentrate more on your gaming and music. The sound is also only transmitted in on direction.
Taking a closer look at the specifications of the Sharkoon Shark Zone H30 and we see that the 280gram light stereo headset has a 32Ω impedance, a 20 Hz to 20 KHz frequency response, and a 92 dB sensitivity. The microphone is omnidirectional with a 2.2Ω impedance and 50Hz to 10KHz frequency response.
End customers can find the Sharkoon Shark Zone H30 stereo headset available immediately for the suggested retail price of just €36.99 where you also get a little bag to have it all in.
