RIG 800LX is prone to sound leakage
just three positions for adjustments on each side
Voice monitoring feedback is too quiet
doesn't have a built-in virtual surround solution
Soundstage isn't as immersive as more expensive sets
Dolby Atmos closes this gap quite significantly
Explosions are particularly prone to the same distortion
easy it would be to pull too hard and accidentally break the whole contraption
bass presence is busted though
s not to down play the other two EQ modes at
sound was projected on the same plane
bit of fuzz when navigating my Xbox One dashboard
somewhat clunky design and not-so-great microphone
headset is generally heavier on bass
the bass does start to distort at high volumes and bassy tracks
win any awards for bass
as scary compared to wireless earbuds
There is no connectivity issue room to room
missing an Amazon package knock at the door
rig is not the head set
The mic may lose some points as well as the bass distortion
a relatively large gap in cost is a bit frustrating
800LX s audio sounds slightly distorted when on a low volume
sounds bad and clunky to wear
lack of bluetooth connectivity
it s no match for a dedicated microphone
Poor noise isolation and leakage
sounds a bit thin and lacks a little bit of detail and airiness
over-ear design still obstructs a lot of airflow
with Dolby Atmos are pretty short
