delays
interruptions
or hissing noise
too many logos or too many of one particular logo on your product
Sony TV Wi-Fi No Internet Access Issue
volume is kind of lacking as at max volume
PS4 Slim does not have an optical port
audio performance is not the weakest link here
height adjustment isn t ratcheting or sliding
cushions were getting a little too skin-sticky for my taste
requires the optical cable on the wireless station to be plugged in
there is no way you ll run out of battery while
t seem to be a way to adjust these EQ presets
the RIG 800 headset is far from boring
out when the headset is not worn and lies on the desk
service does not include all providers or all products available in the market
rather thin and somewhat prone to interference
Wallet Pty Ltd is not a bank and does not offer banking services
skipping audio or noticeable audio latency
pretty faces and handsome presenters
particular mechanic feels clunky and laborious
the audio starts to get bright with voices becoming more pronounced
there is always a power outlet nearby
easy it would be to pull too hard and accidentally break the whole contraption
Explosions are particularly prone to the same distortion
bass presence is busted though
excellent mic quality

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.

4.3

Wireless gaming headsets often feel like a compromise, where questions of price, comfort, and quality get obfuscated by battery life and convenience. While I’d still recommend headphones paired with something like a ModMic for PC, that combination falls flat when it comes to console gaming. I’d long though we’d just have to settle for what’s …

Plantronics RIG 800HS Review | Can a Silent Yet Comfortable Gaming Experience Be Possible at a Decent Price? - The Tech Revolutionist

Plantronics is positioning its RIG 800HS as a “Wireless Headset For PlayStation 4”. That is a pretty niche target audience, as only a chunk of PS4 users requires a headset for voice chat. But I believe it can be more than that. With a sprinkle of creativity and a SPDIF port, the RIG 800HS can…
