Whats Included

RIG 500HX Stereo Gaming Headset for Xbox One

Q: Does it include surround sound?

A: Unfortunately not, all of our currently available RIG headsets for Xbox One and PS4 are exclusively stereo. Currently our only surround headsets are intended for PC use since this feature is software dependent.

Q: Is it an Xbox exclusive or will they make a version for PS4?

A: This version works on Xbox one and PS4.

Q: Is it worth it?

A: short answer..... Yes!!!

Q: So I'm confused as to how the headset is supposed to work. I just bought them, but only the headset that connects to the controller is included. Does this mean that I will only get chat sound and no gameplay sound? Because that's not why I purchased these

A: Yes you can hear both . Game Sound and chat

Q: Will this rig work on my PC's 3.5 mm stereo jack?

A: Yes

Q: I have a rig500hx headset and my boom mic snapped at the top... I need a new one. Do you guys sell only the boom mic??

A: Yes, the headset's boom microphone is available as a spare directly through our website and some of our vendors: https://www.plantronics.com/us/product/rig-500-boom

Q: Is there a way to turn up volume within headphones?

A: The volume is controlled by the plug in adapter on the controller.

Q: Can I use this with my I phone

A: Yes

good headset for the price
The headset is an good price buy, its extremely light, good sound and comfortable to wear for longer hours of game play. But I wish the headset did have a separate volume control for gameplay and voice chat. The voice quality is pretty good but not great, good for voice chat to party chat but not good for streams or making videos with this headset chat quality. In addition, I used this headset for music on my phone, ipod and computer , so this headset can be used NOT only for gaming and chatting.

Best Headset I have purchased
I love the overall lightness and the fact the earphones can be kept on for long periods of time with no issues.. Sound is great and I honestly think for the cost it's well worth it

Nice deal!! Deal of the week...
At first I was put off because when the item came in I opened the package and the headset was in pieces (disassembled), you had to put it together....after putting them on due to their comfort and lightweight, I almost forgot I had to build these things....they work good on the XB1 thanks to the volume control on the headset adapter on the controller...now if you're thinking about using them on the PS4 the volume isn't as loud, doesn't go up as high as the XB1 but they do work, albeit the mic is a tiny bit delayed....Now I got these on sale and happy with that price point but not sure if I would get these at normal price....
