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
Headset itself is well designed, Headset provides decent audio quality, Really useful to be able to mix in music and answer calls, USB controller is easy to use
May be too bassy for some, Mobile phone cable not included in box
The Plantronics Rig is a great headset that, because of its included USB amplifier, is a versatile one too, suitable at home and on the move. However, a few little grumbles mean it isn't quite a resounding success, though still well worth considering. Ne...
With a price of £69/$99 the RIG is hugely flexible in terms of features with a great price/performance ratio. The varied cable types allow us to use the headset in different environments and the mixer/pod allow us to be as connected as possible when gamin...
Affordable, Cross, platform compatibility, Not too bulky
Not entirely Xbox One compatible, Wire reach may be an issue
Plantronics has been in the headset industry for quite some time now so its no rookie when it comes to creating great gaming audio peripherals. Owners of next-gen consoles have pretty limited headset choices right now and are left with expensive sets or ....
Sound quality from the Plantronics Rig is fantastic, thanks to the 40mm speaker drivers. They make gunshots from games sound ear-splittingly realistic. Three EQ profiles give you plenty of flexibility based on what you want to do: you can choose from pure, intensify, or seismic. The Rig is comfortable to wear, and looks cool, too. You'd happily be seen wearing it out and about, so long as you rem
At £109.99, the Plantronics Rig is far from cheap, especially when you consider a headset comes with the Xbox 360. In fact, you could buy three official Xbox 360 headsets for less than that, which puts it in perspective. It's wired as well, which isn't ideal, seeing as you'll have a long lead trailing across the floor to the sofa. For that price, you’d expect wireless. While a nice touch, the mix
The Plantronics Rig is great at what it does. But to justify the high price you'll need to spend an awful lot of time not just gaming, but in multiplayer mode with voice chat. If that's you, this is the perfect headset. The rest of us are better off sa...
Sleek, comfortable design, Mixer works really well, Comfortable to wear, Wellrounded audio performance, Choice of inline mic and boom mic, USB powered, no drivers required
Pricey for a wired, stereo headset, Cable clutter could be a problem, No option to disable sidetone
The RIG headset looks good, is comfortable to wear, and the accompanying Mixer works well, but that won't count for a lot if sound quality and microphone performance isn't up to scratch. Fortunately, Plantronics scores favourably on both fronts. The ster...
The Plantronics RIG headphone pair combines a gaming headset and smartphone compatibility to good effect....
