Decent headset, one of the best for price. After too much wear it starts to bother you from the top of the head.

These were ok, sound quality only decent. Headphones were comfortable but also a bit heavy

As an avid gamer, I used a lot of headsets. I spent a lot of money on my old headset, and unfortunately the cable recently started failing (sound was cutting in and out). I decided to get another pair of headphones that suit my needs for less. When I first opened the Plantronics RIG 500 Headset, I was pleased to see how easy it was to assemble. All you need to do is connect the boom mic to the headset itself, the cable and the jack into your ps4 controller and you are ready to go. While gaming I have to say, this headset is very comfortable. There is an additional strap at the top of the headphones to keep them from sliding off of your head, which is a blessing compared to my previous one. The most practical feature is the quick volume control, which you will find on the jack that plugs into your ps4 controller. There were times when playing in my party that I had to turn the volume up and this was much easier in terms of functionality. The headset is made of plastic and it feels flimsy. However, the light weight feeling of the headset is what makes it very unique compared to others -- its comfortable, as I aforementioned. While wearing these during my raid sessions on Destiny 2 -- this was honestly ideal compared to my old headset. The sound by the way was incredible. I have a 7.2 channel surround on while I game, and that might be a problem to some gamers and it can be, however, the noise canceling feature allows me to hear my party members without sound from the outside leaking through. I was actually very impressed when I switched the audio to go through the headset. I specifically played pvp matches and I was able to clearly hear enemies on the other team sneaking up behind me through these. With previous headsets, I would either have too long of a cable or too short of a cable. This one is 1.3m, which is actually just right; I'm no longer strangling myself while moving or switching positions when gaming. Or unplugging the headset if I accidentally sat on the cable. Now what I found even more impressive is, the earcups are easily removable in case you ever want to replace them. Though I must say, there is an adjustment feature I find very impressive for placing the earcups at a level that suits the player. Simply pop the earcup out and place it in the next bracket. Again, this is a feature I have not had on previous headsets so this made adjusting the headset to my comfort level much easier. Overall, I would recommend the headset. The comfort of wearing them is above what I was used to; if you can look past the cheap plastic feel, you will find a lightweight design that is suited for lasting comfort. The volume adjustment is conveniently located on the input jack on the controller, for ease of access. Last, the 50mm driver provides a clear crisp sound, whether you are in a chat party, or when you need to quiet down the home at night and want the sound to penatrate your ears through the headset.

Pros: * Works will PS4 and Xbox One. * Sounds great * People on the other side can hear me clearly * nice cushion on ears. * price Cons: * not noice cancelling * ears get worm

Headset fits good and are good quality, but after time, the mic itself malfunctions. This results in unable to mute yourself properly.

You get what you pay for; if I could do it again I would pay more for a better one. A bit flimsy and not sturdy enough.

They are good when they work. I had to return the first pair on day one because they didn't work. The second pair is just ok.

Won’t last , materials very cheap, sound is okay giving it 3 stars because the price is ok

For the price it is a decent set up gaming headphones. Volume control right on the plug to the contol for easy access. Sound quality is to my liking.

Great headphones for the price. Took a little bit of work to get them working properly but once we did they work great.

My son bought one for his PC as the product supposed to be for PC. We got dissapointed as you need an extra cable not included for using in PC's

The only thing im not too fond of over these headphones are the nonexistent mic mute button otherwise great product

The headset is great and the cost is resonable and affordable. I have used it in my plastation and it did it's job.

Finally found a headset that works. The higher priced wireless headset gave poor reception based on what other players said.

This headset works great amazing surround sound but I don’t like how much pressure it puts on my head and I don’t have a big head

I didn't know much about which headset to get my son for his playstation. He really likes these. They are very sturdy.

Great for gaming on the ps4. Only thing I would say would be I wish it was a little louder

I decide to try this headset and overall I’m impressed. The volume knob is pretty innovative. Please note you have to maximize the volume on the PS4 controller through the PlayStation devices menu to get the full volume potential. I find the volume quality great as well as the quality of this headset itself. I was able to play FPS horror games like RE7 more carefully. I have next tried online gameplay, Battlefield 1 and GTA V and other gamers were able to hear me. The only gripe would be a lack of a mute button. This headset does replace using the stock PS4 earbud or just apple buds. They are comfortable and adjustable. I will be using this headset for years to come.

I loved these headphones with my PS4, however now that I have a pS5, I am not as impressed. But these are great if you don’t have an next gen console

my son enjoys his device, the sound is great great for beginners
