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

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
The editors didn't like
Pricey for a wired
Stereo headset
Cable clutter could be a problem
No option to disable sidetone
Not entirely Xbox One compatible
Wire reach may be an issue
At £109.99

Seeing as you'll have a long lead trailing across the floor to the sofa. For that price
