In today’s world, you can use headsets for your gaming consoles to enjoy the brutal sounds of Borderlands 2, whilst chatting away to your friends in a party from the comfort of your lounge and you can be on a bus, enjoying the sights of the city whilst speaking to your friend via a bluetooth ear piece.

Plantronics a brand better known for their mobile device peripherals, have released a new product that goes by the name of the RIG.
So I haven't been with the team long here at NXL, but I was given a pair of headphones to review and had an amazing time looking them over and trying them out. The headphones are the Plantronics RIG 400. You can get them for every system available and they are a pretty powerful entry level headset.
Over the years, companies like Turtle Beach have become a household name, further stamping their name on the gaming headset line with in-store kiosks and a general presence in gaming.

And, over the years, I’ve been privy to experience many of those headset iterations.
Ha literally just ordered these for my X. Didn’t see this review til after. The reviewer mentions Dolby “Atmos 7.1” support in the review but for clarification, Dolby Atmos and 7.1 surround are two different things. NBD, just for accuracy.
