While the Dolby Atmos feature and bass receive positive feedback, some customers have expressed concerns about the docking station and price point.
This is my second go with the brand. I had the 800s and ended up sticking with my A50s. My A50s after 5 years started to have bad connectivity issues so I decided to move on and pick up the 900HX. The 900HX at first wasn’t sure if I’d like them. They grew on me and I so far after 3 weeks I like them. At first the volume sounded low but I’m used to loud headsets. I wasn’t sure if it was the headset or just me but quickly I gotten used to them that blasting them in full volume are loud and more than enough. I tend to now lower its volume because they get loud. The sound quality is very good. The imaging is very very good with Dolby Atmos. There is an app that you can QR scan from the product that gets you a license to use the new software where you take a personal head scan and upload it to Dolby and get a customize personal sound profile. Overall the sound quality is great and sounded as good if not better than my Astro A50s. The Bass is incredible and the clarity is great. The sound stage and imagine thanks to Dolby sound is very nice which is where I can say did a lot better than my previous Astros. I’ve been playing Black Ops 6 and Warzone and so far I could hear everything that I need to get dubs. So far no complaints. The comfort is top tier. I get no ear or head fatigue after playing a good 8+ hours of gaming. The adjustments are simple and works. I don’t have a large head but I put the cups at its max size adjustments and it just floats perfectly. Comfort is so much better than my Astros. The charging doc is better than what the Astros had by the better design. Sometimes on my Astros I’ll put them on my doc and they never charged. The 900HX falls right where they need to be every single time. The battery life is nice with 50 hours and I never run out of battery since the doc takes care of that. The only reason I’m giving them a 4 out of 5 is that I was hoping these were simultaneous Bluetooth. They are not. That’s it. They can connect but only if you want to use the app, and if you want to listen to music you can but you can’t hear game sound. The app works good and the sound EQ adjustment work well. Overall Great sound, Amazing comfort, just wish they were simultaneous with Bluetooth.

I purchased this because I wanted Dolby Atmos even when I couldn't use my surround sound. This headset doesn't disappoint. I have used this on my Series X and Ps5, as well as my S24 Ultra/Samsung TV. I purchased this as an open-box, so it took a bit of research to factory reset (The user manual is just a series of Youtube videos on various features/settings) Connecting to my Series X was pretty straightforward plugging the dongle directly into the console and having the dongle switch on Game. Connecting to my PS5 was a little more labor intensive as the video tutorials did not solve my issue. When connecting the dongle directly to the console, I made sure that the switch was set to PC. The audio prompt in the headset said usb connected, and even showed up under the Sound Menu as RIG 900 MAX PRO. However I couldn't get any sound to come through the headset. I eventually noticed that the light on the dongle was slow-blinking. I decided to try plugging the dongle to the charging base, then plugging the base into the back usb port of the ps5. The headset showed up again in the Sound menu and the audio prompt in the headset said "Connected." I was able to get sound through the headset and noticed the light on the dongle was a solid white color. At this point, you can just use the dongle directly plugged into the front usb port or continue utilizing it via charging base. I am very pleased with the overall sound that Dolby Atmos brings. The bass is very deep and the vocals pronounced. And the battery! I have used this for several days and still had plenty of juice left. The charging base takes about 4 hours to fully charge, or roughly 2 hours when charging through the console. The ear muff padding is comfortable and the headband is adjustable. I have no issues with movement where I had to constantly adjust. I haven't really explored the Dual Mode on the headset for having multiple devices connected simultaneously or used the mic aside from the inital setup. I like that flipping the boom up and down controls the mute function. The app is pretty rudimentary and only works when the headset is used in bluetooth mode. You have the ability to change equalizer settings as well as audio enhancements. There is also a diagnostic page that lets you test all of the functions to make sure they operate. My biggest gripe is the lack of detailed instructions and that their support is limited to email only. I found most answers via reddit or other online forums, as well as just figuring things out myself. The key is to not be quick to throw in the towel if you experience connection issues like I did at first.

I have had my fair share of Microsoft headsets as well as turtle beaches that I’ve spent plenty on money on just to have them break or stop working which is frustrating when you’ve paid $300+. However these are by far my favorite headset! They adjustable, wireless, extremely comfortable and best of reliable lol. They come with Dolby Atmos which is great too. They connect to several devices and even have a dual connection feature. Battery life is outstanding. Sound is immaculate!! I would recommend these over and over again to anyone looking for a dependable headset. Well worth the money spent!
