Product Manuals

Q: I bought the Rig 800hd because I was told it would work, mic and all, on the Xbox 1 by an employee. The sound works but mic does not. What are my options? (the box says it would work on Xbox)

A: Hello! We are sorry to hear that. If the microphone of the headset will not work, please make sure it is properly set up under your gaming console audio settings. You may also want to establish a new connection between the headset and the wireless adapter. To do so: 1) Unplug the wireless adapter from your gaming console and restart it (completely turn it off and back on). 2) Reconnect the adapter and press and hold down the linking button on your adapter until it starts flashing an alternative red and blue. 3) Once flashing red and blue please put your headset in pairing mode by pressing and holding the power switch towards the linking icon until it starts flashing red and blue as well. 4) Once the headset stops flashing and the LED light on the adapter is solid purple means they are successfully connected. Last but not least, we recommend testing the headset with your PC to see where the issue is coming from. If for some reason the issue remains, then it means it has an actual problem and it is best to replace it. Remember this unit counts with a limited warranty since the first day of purchase, and if you need a replacement you can click on the following link for further instructions: https://bit.ly/2N637EC. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at 800-985-9815 if you require assistance.

Q: I know this may sound like a really stupid question, but how do you set it up? I've been trying to for the last few hours and I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong, as it's not turning on. Can you give me a step-by-step please? Thanks!

A: Hello! We are sorry to hear that. If the headset is not powering on you may first need to charge the headset. It takes up to 4.5 hours to fully charge your headphones. The headset LED is red while charging and turns off when complete. Once the headset is fully charge, plug the wireless receiver directly into your PC. Once plugged in, you should have a purple light on the receiver meaning the headset is connected. Then set your headset as your default device under your PC sound settings.

Nearly Perfect Headset
So, this is my first foray into owning a wireless headset. Over the years I have had experience with several wireless headsets for work and gaming to varying degrees of success. Most of them required several concessions to live with – great sound but low battery life; great battery and mic, but uncomfortable; etc. The Rig 800HD’s have changed my view of wireless headsets into a more positive stance. I have been a user of the excellent HyperX Cloud series (Core and Alpha), so I wanted to make sure the Rig stacked up before they became my daily driver. I have spent a month with this headset before making this review because I wanted to make sure I didn’t gloss over anything during my initial first uses. First Up – Build Quality I have to say I was quite skeptical when I first picked these up. I am used to the all metal structure of the Cloud’s because I had a long history of plastic headset frames cracking. I was pleased to find that Plantronics created a solidly designed frame. The top band has a smooth, soft plastic feel to it. The inside of the top band has some gussets molded into it that provides some extra strength in the middle. The elastic suspension band can be removed, allowing you to really appreciate the flexibility and strength of the top band. Unlike other plastic structured headsets you may have experience with, the Rig’s also don’t creak when putting them on/taking them off. Creaky headsets just make me think they are going to break sooner. The earcup attachment points are just as sturdy, and they provide enough articulation to fit any head shape. I attached my earcups to the center notch, and that’s where they will stay. For those that might need to adjust the position frequently for whatever reason (hat, hairstyle, sharing with a big headed friend, etc), these attachment points feel robust enough to handle a multitude of adjustments. The mic boom is deceptively strong. It looks like it would be flimsy, but it is pretty securely attached. The mic rotation has enough resistance to maintain the position you put it in. The only knock on build quality comes with the plastic for the ear cups. The plastic here feels cheaper on the sides – mostly because it immediately reminds me of the ridges on a drink bottle cap. Also, the edges around the bottom of the ear cup have a hard angle to them, and it feels like this should have been rounded over. Second Up – Comfort I have always had the thought that my Cloud’s nailed the headset comfort formula. Plush ear cups, lightweight, and wider padded headband to distribute the load on top of your head. The Rig’s nailed most of that formula, but still created an exceedingly comfortable headset. The earcups are super comfortable, and the fabric allows them to breath. You won’t sit there feeling like your ears are getting hot and sweaty (a problem that the Cloud’s and others with leather earcups have). The headset feels very light, and likely lighter than my Cloud’s. I wear these all day at work to listen to music, and I haven’t felt like I’m fatiguing my neck at all. The suspension band is really nice, but it had the drawback of being too narrow. The pad is wide enough, but the internal elastic band is only about ¼” wide. This creates a pressure line across your head over time. If that elastic band was ½” wide or wider, I wouldn’t even be bringing this up. The only saving grace is the headset is light enough that really don’t start feeling that pressure line until after a few hours. Overall I would give the comfort level a 9/10 – not perfect but definitely good. Third Up – Sound (finally right?) For me the EQ’s are kind of forgettable. I usually leave it on EQ 3 for music. EQ 2 does feel really overblown/boomy on bass and mids. Otherwise I have really hard time discerning between 3 and 4, but I may not have found the right source audio to hear the difference (4 is supposed to be more for vocals). 1 feels like a little less bass, and a little cleaner which is why I like it for gaming. A lot of this will come down to whatever you are listening to, and whatever levels you like best. Overall the sound for these headsets should be compared to the $90-100 wired headsets. My Cloud’s are right in that price range, and I think these are on par in sound quality. I think the drivers provide pretty clear sound for music, and great depth. They have pretty good bass and the mids/highs are clear without anything sounding blown out or tinny. I don’t remember what song I was listening to, but I remember thinking I had never heard those particular background sounds in the 100 times I had listened to the song beforehand. So kudos to the Rig’s for being really clear on lower volume sounds. This has been especially useful playing my current game – Far Cry 5. I can hear every little sound, and it is fantastic. I can hear nearby enemies super clear, whereas before it was maybe a little muddled. Has it made me any better at the game – debatable, but I do enjoy it more. The included Atmos code is a nice add on (I also get to use it on my Atmos enabled receiver via my XBONE). The extra processing of the sound is superior, IMO, to the 7.1 dongle adapters for some headsets. They always sound just a little off to me, but the Atmos processing doesn’t feel…over processed. Is it as good as a true multi driver headset – no, but those headsets sit in a completely different price point that is out of reach for most people. The mic sound is perfectly acceptable. I have really only used it for Skype calls, and other web applications at work. My mic sounds better than anyone else on the calls, so I am happy about that for sure. I have full confidence that my game chats (when they finally happen) will come through perfect. Last Up - Other Areas/Features This first one sort of falls in line with comfort, but these are things you will only deal with infrequently. The buttons on the backside of the ear cup are easy to adjust while wearing. I did need to look at them first to know what I was going to be messing with. The volume knob was easy to adjust – I wish it had hard stops for min/max but that is a personal preference. The game/chat volume mixer is super easy to use. You just need to remember which direction is which. The only thing that is weird is the EQ button on the bottom of the right earcup. Its location is fine, but I wish the notification sound was different. Right now it just makes 1, 2, or 3 ‘boops’ depending on which one you select. Again personal preference, but I would rather have the it be a spoken notification where the voice overlay says ‘One’ for EQ one. Some reviewers have mentioned the voice overlay when first turning on the headset is far too loud/abrasive. I didn’t get the same impression. I thought it was a perfectly acceptable volume and prompt. I don’t understand the hate for this feature, but again I’m not them. Battery life has been great. I think 24 hrs is lowballing the runtime of these headsets. It only takes me about 4 hours to charge them. I’m glad they kept the connector a micro-USB – I have 10 of these cables laying around, so I never worry about getting it charged. With this runtime you should never be caught with a dead headset. The range on the wireless connection is great. I’m able to walk all around my house without losing connection. I can walk 40 ft down the hall at work, turn the corner into the kitchenette and get something out of the fridge without any issues. I have never been a big fan of wireless headsets (mostly bluetooth ones), so I was skeptical of the sound quality I would get. I don’t feel like I am taking very much a sound quality hit with the Rig’s over my wired Cloud’s. Is wired sound quality better – yes. Is it awesome not having a cord, while being very close in quality – even more yes. The earcups don’t provide a noise isolating experience as compared to my Cloud’s, which I both like and dislike. It helps when a coworker walks up to talk to me. I just mute my music and I can hear them. Unfortunately, if I am trying to play a game I have to turn the volume up if there is a lot of ambient noise. Overall, I would take the experience of the Rig over my Cloud’s because the Rig earcups don’t make my ears sweat. Conclusion I have been a user of Plantronics headsets over the last 10 years, and they were always my go to for gaming chat headsets. I was happy to see that Plantronics put forth another solid product. I have made these my daily driver at home, and at work. I will probably pick up another set, so I can just leave one at home and the other at work. If you are looking for a solid wireless headset that doesn’t break the bank, I think the Rig 800HD’s should be on your shortlist. They have great sound, excellent battery life, plenty of range, and are really comfortable. Good job Plantronics.

Light weight. Good sound quality. Nice features
What is mostly remarkable about this RIG 800HD is the extreme light weight of the headset (Compared to my old headset). Battery life is amazing. Can be used for hours before need to be re-charged. I connected it to my MSI GS63 Stealth and it started working immediately. Redeeming the Dolby Atmos coming with the headset will unlock features for Dolby supported games. I don't game very frequently but I enjoy listening to music and watching movies on my computer. This headset is a perfect balance between the gaming and the other usage types. Microphone is just in the right spot. Flip up to mute feature is just nice! The recorded sound on the MIC seems to be on the less bass side (maybe because of the noise cancellation process). Control buttons are in the right place. You can get used to them very fast. The wireless adapter of the headset is very light (I hope it was a bit heavier) with long wire to connect to USB. Optic Fiber connection is also available. The wireless range is pretty amazing. Way beyond my BT headset and seems to be less sensitive to noise and distortions. Headset charges kind of fast (Didn't try a deep charge yet). Battery lasting for hours. Buttons and controls on the side feels firm. Size adjustment is ok. Better than the sliding type. Overall, premium materials used every where. Equalizer feature is good. Well pre-set to give the right sound adjustment. Game/Chat feature is nice! I had it working on one of my games only. It is good to have a such option. Coming handy with quick mic mute feature. I think the price of the headset is just right when taking in mind the build quality and functionalities.

Amazing Sound, Extremely Comfortable
I have been in search for a good headset that was comfortable, had a good mic and was long lasting. I decided to try out this headset as I have always enjoyed Plantronic's and glad I did. This headset sound quality is out of this world and is extremely comfortable for long wear. I really like how it covers the entire ear and is adjustable. Pros: Comfortable Sound Quality Battery Life Adjustability Mic Quality Price Cons: Charge Time Software Availability Range ::Setup:: The setup was very easy to connect on Windows 10. I plugged in the dongle and no sync was needed. Pretty much plug in Play. When you buy this you will receive a key for the Dolby Atmos software. This software are just small clips / examples of what the headset can do. Although it is very enjoyable. The range is somewhat of a concern, do not expect you to be able to walk very far from your computer to get a drink / bite from the refrigerator. As long as you are close to your machine you should not have any issues. ::Mic:: The Mic is somewhat adjustable, you can curve the tip to be more in range of the mouth and move the Mic up and down. When moving it up and down it mutes / un-mutes which is a nice touch. Overall the sound quality is good and interference is almost non existent. However if you are looking to record video with a Mic I would recommend investing in a higher quality one. As for gaming this mic works perfectly. ::Sound:: The sound quality is amazing! I feel like I am in a theater enjoying an atoms experience. The only problem is this is new technology so not all streaming services, games and programs are able to support the Atmos experience. However even is those programs are unable to broadcast at Atmos levels it still sounds amazing on the headset. It has deep bass, perfect treble and truely provides the 360 degree experience. For the price this is well worth it ! ::Battery:: The battery life is pretty amazing honestly. I was able to use this for days without ever having to worry about low battery. Unfortunately it takes forever to charge the headset via USB however if you use your phone wall charger it cuts the time in half so recommend that route. There is a light that indicates when charging and turns off once fully charged. It is nice so you are not having to guess when the charge is complete. Overall I would strongly recommend this product for the price point. I have been using this non-stop for all my gaming and movie experiencing through my computer. I never knew headsets could sound this good and be this comfortable !
