Manufacturer description

The Black Shark Goblin X1 is a wired gaming headset built around 50mm dynamic drivers, tuned for positional audio so you can place footsteps and gunfire in the mix instead of guessing. A single 3.5mm connection covers PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and Android phones, and the bundled splitter adapter breaks out separate audio and mic ports for older PC front panels. The USB lead is there purely to light the RGB, so you are never stuck hunting for a free port just to hear game audio. The bendable omnidirectional boom mic holds its shape once you position it at the corner of your mouth, and the…

Black Shark's gaming peripherals lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Goblin X1 work with PS5 and Nintendo Switch?

Yes. The 3.5mm output plugs directly into a PS5 DualSense, a Switch or Switch Lite headphone jack, PC, PS4 and Android devices. No adapter is needed for controller-based connections.

Do I have to plug in the USB cable to hear sound?

No. The USB connector only powers the RGB lighting. Audio and microphone both run over the 3.5mm connection, so the headset works fully with the USB lead unplugged.

How do I connect it to a PC with separate mic and headphone jacks?

Use the included adapter cable. It splits the single 3.5mm plug into separate audio and mic connectors for desktop front panels and older motherboards with two jacks.

Can I mute the mic without going into game settings?

Yes. The in-line remote has a dedicated microphone mute switch plus an analogue volume dial, both on the cable within reach during play.
