bit of fuzz when navigating my Xbox One dashboard
somewhat clunky design and not-so-great microphone
headset is generally heavier on bass
excellent mic quality
the built-in notification voice is a tad too loud
The isolation is poor and the microphone quality
RIG 500 PRO is discontinued
virtual surroundings without external distraction
The headset also automatically turns itself off when not in use
a too-tight headset
memory foam ear cushions don't feel too tight on the head
not being able to adjust the headset on the fly is a pain
bass presence is busted though
Explosions are particularly prone to the same distortion
easy it would be to pull too hard and accidentally break the whole contraption

There is only a button to connect the headset with the base
there is no additional USB-port on the base to load the headset
sounds a bit thin and lacks a little bit of detail and airiness
over-ear design still obstructs a lot of airflow
Poor noise isolation and leakage
there's no wired input
There is no wear signs at all and they used a lot

Plantronics RIG 800LX review: A comfy wireless headset with Dolby Atmos and subpar bass

3.5

Lightweight, comfortable, and with Dolby Atmos support, the Plantronics RIG 800LX would be one of our favorite wireless headsets ever—if it weren't for a bass driver that's prone to heavy distortion.
