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.

Abstract: Gaming headsets aren't famous for their ability to help you be sociable. Plantronics aims to change that with the RIG. Using a hub system you can game and, at the same time, be alerted to anything incoming on your mobile - and respond with the flip of a s...
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!...
