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

No option to disable sidetone

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
If you like your headphones to sound sparkly and bassy, the Plantronics RIG should satisfy you. While the product is marketed as a gamer headset, I find myself benefiting from the mixer while using it with for my desktop audio production without missing a...

The RIG produces decent sound for its price point and the control mixer adds a new level of smartphone control when gaming. The headphones are light and comfortable for longterm wear, chat quality is top notch and the flat cables really help keep tangles
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
For $129, the RIG is worth it if you frequently talk to friends over the phone while gaming or appreciate listening to your own music while listening to the game. It may not have the audio fidelity as, say, a pair of Astros or Turtle Beach gaming head...

The Rig does everything you need from a quality headset other than Dolby. Build quality is wonderful and the headset can be abused without too much worry. The lack of a USB port and the excessive cabling are slightly disappointing, but for a first version...

Most of my hours spent listening with the Plantronics RIG was wasted waiting for the headphones to burn in. Even now at the time of writing, it's not entirely there yet, but at least it's gotten to the point where I can work out the experience. The RIG ha...
