If you’re just looking at these two gaming headsets, the $130 RIG 700 Pro HX Remove non-product link is a bit more comfortable, more durable, and much more convenient thanks to its wireless connectivity. I was reviewing the high-end Corsair Virtuoso XT Remove non-product link at the same time and boy I wish that headset was as comfortable as these. So which pair of RIG headphones would I recommend? If you favor comfort above all else, both of these headphones are worth a look over competitors. In that respect, the 500 Pro offers a higher ceiling, but a lower floor. Honestly, the moral of the story is that even a cheaper pair of headphones can sound better with a nicer DAC. Did the RIG 500 Pro HX Gen 2 sound better there? Well, it varied depending on the setup, but without a nice DAC of course it wasn’t going to sound as good. I guess I will go to bestbuy and exchange it and test the replacement to determine if it was a keeper or not.And before you say that’s unfair, I will say that I did try it with other DACs as well as using a standard motherboard audio port. I'm not sure how I could change the wifi channel on this headset or even read which channel it uses, but there would be impossible to force me use only 2.4ghz wifi just because of this headset. During this hour, there were actually a few annoyances (playing titanfall2), that the volume automatically increased to max (I can feel all of sudden it got much louder), and then both the volume rockers (the game/chat equalzier and the total volume control) lost control of the volume, no matter how much I turned them, the volume seemed to be fixed at a very high level, not changing with the turning. Moved on to xbox one, did the remove and resync my controller for a few times, but still getting I think once or twice 'headset connected/not connected' verbal notification and maybe once skipped audio (not total loss but like it paused and all of sudden resumed') in game playing and sling tv watching, maybe an hour total time. installed dolby app on win10 and tested it out for a short period of time, not getting disconnection (but it was short). I hooked up this with PC and installed platronics hub, well it was not on the supported device list, so that did nothing. I searched online quite a bit and did all that was mentioned as possible remedy. My setup is up to date with no other available updates. Or was there supposed to be some other settings? With the voice notification 'headset is/is not connected' and frequently skipping, even total loss of sound, it was no fun at all. Was it because of the interference or I got a bad one? My wireless game controller works fine though. unfortunately, that has to be the location. Headset has medium battery but keeps connect/disconnecting during the game, and I was sitting fairly close to the console, but on the other hand the xbox is sitting next to my router too. Hooked it up via usb and set up the dolby thingy. OK guys, this is my first console (xb1x) and first gaming headset. I want the 'true wirelss, no dongle' part though. I hope I did not just jumped to another sinkhole after climbing up, coz it was the constant disconnection that bugged me most.Īccording to the pricing, at least I can have Steelseries Arctic 5 and the new Hyperx cloud flight and logitech G933 to pick.

I wasn't too sure about my pick coz the mixed reviews I've seen, and many early adopters were complaining about the 'disconnection' which seemed to get better with rounds of Firmware updates. I got the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 mentioned here. I wasn't able to get an even exchange to try out another RIG800 coz of the availability, but instead, I got to pick pretty much any $149 msrp headset as exchange.
