    I bought it and at first it was great then months later I went to go use it and it stopped working. Noise stopped coming out of the left side.

    Just as several others have posted, I too had the shoddy mic design issue. After 2 weeks of use, you could no longer lock the mic into the mute position. It now just falls limp. 2 (two) weeks it lasted. Steer clear- no longer Plantronics quality

    Fatal flaw in mic hinge

    Im on my third RIG500 and I can no longer recommend this company. They used be owned by Plantronics, but recently were bought by a company in Europe. Support is awful, and both other 500 headsets I've bought in the past have had the mic hinge screw snap. I tried fixing one and its so flimsy, I wasn't surprised it didn't last more than a month. Unfortunately, it snapped a week after the Best Buy warranty ran out, and now the company wants me to ship it to Europe.... yeah right, thanks.

    Bass is too heavy no audio control

    I wanted to like this headset. For the price as some of the other ones it seemed like a good purchase and brand. The mic is super sensitive and caused an echo while playing due to sound leakage from the headset. There is only a control for overall volume on the headset and could only use it no more than half way. This way to stop the echo. This then caused you to miss audio cues while playing a game and miss out on Important clues as to who or what was around you. The Dolby audio is only good for 2 years and did help but I shouldn’t have to rely on an additional subscription to make it work well.

    We owned this item for 2 weeks and one day. The microphone came loose. I took it back and they said they cannot help us. They directed us to the manufacturer because it had been more than 2 weeks. Amazon has a much better return policy and I wish I bought it on amazon. I chose Best Buy to go into a physical store and they disappointed us greatly.
