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

And looks cool
Too. You'd happily be seen wearing it out and about

Wire reach may be an issue
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
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...

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...

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 ....

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...

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...
