The editors didn't like
Construction is kind of on the cheap and flimsy side. The volume sliders for switching between smartphone and gaming mode could be consistent. Audible distortion at higher volumes with the master volume ring
A couple of design issues
Bulky mixer
The Plantronics RIG gaming headset is available on Amazon for less than $90. If you don't mind the design issue mentioned above
This is totally worth the price
Build Quality Could Be Better
Not Really Ment For Hardcore Gamers
Cable
Headband comfort
Microphone placement
Almost too many features
Annoying hiss
Secondary input channel is nothing but a (neat) gimmick
No surround sound
Surround sound effect isn't convincing. Smartphone (and effectively game console) cable is too short. No stereo RCA option for consoles
Highly Versatile, Interchangeable boom or inline microphone, Good sound and range, Unique solution for switching and mixing audio sources

Affordable, Crossplatform compatibility, Not too bulky
Not entirely Xbox One compatible, Wire reach may be an issue
One of the issues with the Plantronics RIG is the fact that it's wired. It may not be a big deal on PC but it might make couch gaming a bit difficult if you're sitting far from your console. It means no charging is needed - though the length of the wire ...
The Plantronics RIG Stereo Headset and Mixer is a very clever use of bridging a variety of sound systems together, especially the ease of changing between devices or even the ability of mixing your own music into games....

If you're a gamer constantly missing phone calls, or just somebody who wants music to block out most but not all of the world, then the RIG performs admirably. It's feasible if gaming is your only vice to get headphones that perform as well or better for...
If you know anyone who's into gaming and is not a total recluse, then point them, nay, drag them kicking and screaming from their game to buy this. If they're a total recluse, then above counts as well. At least they'll answer your call!...
Our new test set up illustrates well what we also hear as differences between the headsets. Recommending the best is therefore quite easy. The best sound quality for music is found in the Kingston Hyper X Cloud, with which you will also receive many han...

In the end despite it's flaws the Plantronics RIG headset is still a good headset. It has good audio quality and a near solid set of features. It does have a very jack of all trades feeling to it and with this comes the master of none as well, because of...
