Matt Buckley: "The Plantronics RIG headset is a solid unit. Lightweight and breathable, it might be the most comfortable gaming headset I’ve used to date, and nary a functional hiccup is to be found. However, you’re paying a premium for a phone multitasking feature that you might not use. The headphone and microphone audio quality are each great, but the $129.99 asking price typically offers wireless connectivity and surround sound features in other packages."
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.
