Q: Will this headset work with xbox one, or is it PC specific? If it does work with xbox, do i need any additional accessories?

A: Out of the box it's PC only, the headset has a 3.5mm cable that is about a foot long and the extension is 3.5mm female to USB. I imagine that you can get a 3.5mm extension to use with a console but I haven't tried that to verify it will function properly and the Dolby adapter is built into the USB extension not the headset. So if it does work it likely won't be dolby7.1.

Q: I am looking for headset as I am hearing impaired. I am needing the o hook up to my Avaya Phone that has the lock square type connection like the Plantations headsets have to use for phones. Does this come with or can you purchase that connection for this

A: No, our RIG gaming headsets are not recommended for office use and they are not available with a Quick Disconnect connector. Our team is available to assist you at www.plantronics.com/support, please don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions!

Q: So, I have a mac. I am curious if this will work with my macbook air. I have looked at some other headsets before, and some of them have said they are windows only. I just want to make sure that the headset will function on my mac.

A: It's USB should work on both OS's as near as I can tell

Q: Is there any extra software I have to download to use this headset to its fullest?

A: There is an audio driver you get from the Plantronics support site. It definitely makes a difference in audio quality when you change the settings through the minimal software it runs in the background.

Q: why does the specifications say there is no noise cancellation but there are reviews that state otherwise

A: Our RIG 515HD does have a noise cancelling microphone, however, the speakers do not feature active noise cancellation which might be what the specifications are referring to.

Q: I have Logitech 930’s the old wireless ones. Which of the two is better these rigs or my old headset is it worth the change?

A: Unfortunately we cannot provide a recommendation or feature comparison to products from other brands but our customer care group is available to answer any questions you might have regarding our products at www.plantronics.com/support

Q: im looking for headphones to use with making youtube videos and there's the rig 515hd lava, rig 505 lava, and the rig 500. which one would be best?

A: The 515hd's in my opinion are the most comfortable to wear and will definitely be the best price=quality deal you can get out of the 3.(:

Q: Are these universal? Sending to a friend in Sweden, want to make sure they work .

A: Yes, the headset comes with a USB audio adapter and can be used by computers and other devices that support USB audio interfaces.

HD gaming/music
This is honestly my first quality PC gaming headset. I've been gaming since 2005. After looking through other headsets, i found most to be overpriced or under mid level quality. After software installation and extensive testing (referenced against using full home theater system), I found this set performing very well for streaming music, voice chat, and gaming effects (multi-positional) often all at the same time. Be aware your incoming stream bitrate needs to be high enough to use Dolby enhanced mode. While not being the level of Sein*****, it's a GREAT quality alternative, producing balanced sound with great low end for MP use. Enjoy

Some issues with certain games
I purchased these to replace a Gamecom 780 headset, also from Plantronics. Apparently the 780 is no longer available, so I made do with these instead. At first I absolutely LOVED them. They fit well, sealed out sound with ease, and also my TrackIR Track Clip Pro fit beautifully on the side. And then I started playing Prepar3d. For some reason in this, and a few other games, the sound freaked out like crazy whenever surround was turned on. This never occurred with any other headset. Turn off surround and my sound was okay, but sometimes I'd get "breaks" as if the cord was shorting out or something. My sweetie had her 780 headset still, so on a whim I asked if she could trade me for a day and see if she experienced the same issues. She does not play the games I do, but more is into MMO games, Fallout 4, FFXIV, and such. She also watches a lot of streaming media while gaming on her other monitors, so I figured it would be a good test. For her, the headset is working absolutely beautiful. And she likes them, so for her this is a 5-star deal. I knocked a star off the review because the headset should have worked for me also. However, in the end, we both now have working headsets that fit our needs. I am going to select "yes" for recommending this headset, because I think there was some hardware issue going with my rig on this. I can;t stay neutral as it is required yes or no, and I can;t say "No" without having more knowledge of why this headset freaks out on surround sound on games for me. I can say this ... on the programs and such that the headset DID work for, it sounded beautiful. The headset is indeed comfortable. I admit to being confused as to why they needed a jack in the line of the headset, but either way the quality was good. It was only in Prepar3d and some other simulation titles I have that I encountered the issue. It was odd. I also run Track IR, and have a theory that maybe the camera points were also having a hard time with this headset's drivers? It's possible. In conclusion, I'd still recommend, but also throw out there that if you have major issues in games with Track IR, then you aren't alone.

Nice Set, shorter side cord
Very ,Very comfy, crisp clear sound. The USB set does work on PS4 even though it is not advertised to. There are no controls for volume etc on the set so you have to do it on the system itself which isn't the end of the world. The cord however is pretty short so you may need a usb extender.
