"Plantronics have been making headsets for over 50 years, including the first ever Xbox Live headset back in 2002, and last week they launched a new line of multi-platform gaming headsets called RIG. The first RIG headset is a wired stereo headset that works on the PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and even mobile devices like phones and tablets. Can Plantronics’ RIG compete with the likes of Astro, Creative and Turtle Beach? Let’s find out."
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. On the other hand, companies like Plantronics have pivoted their expertise in the business communications market, creating a line of headsets for 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.
GameCrate.com rounds of five popular gaming headsets from a variety of price-points and has a set of judges try them out blindfolded. The results may surprise you!
