Absolute garbage! 3rd headset in 2 weeks!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought one and it had echo for everyone else in my party, The only way to get no echo is basically to put them on the lowest setting possible. Then i cant hear the game. I returned them for another pair and same exact issue. so i went with the next step up and got the HX PRo for $30 more since these were on sale! Guess what the same issue with echo. Tried two other headsets that were turtle beach and no echo., I did all of the fixes, firmware update checked settings you name it. So I go online to try and return them and the site is in french no phone number you have to fill out a form. Never again!

Terrible sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was sceptical about these just because I've used plantronics stuff at a few jobs and the stuff was not quality. Figured I'd try it out thinking the stuff at work was not quality because of cost cutting. Got home and hooked them up to my pc and the sound was terrible, almost no bass and zero noise cancellation. Plugged them into the xbox and same thing. Returned them and ended up buying a $200 headset that blew my mind away.

I don’t know if mine is defective
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great however I have a lot of feedback from the mic. Other players hear what they’re saying from my mic , even if it’s flipped up (mute position). One player called it a poverty mic.

Posted .Hi Bambam,
If it were just the feedback, I'd say check your console audio settings and in particular your mic monitoring (AKA sidetone) setting and your speaker and mic volume levels. Adjust those three settings for optimal sound. We have helpful videos for this on the RIG Gaming channel on YouTube. There is an Xbox One version and Xbox Series X|S version. https://www.youtube.com/c/RIGGaming But the ability for others to hear you even when the mic is flipped up is not normal. Make sure you have the Xbox sleeve installed on the RIG volume dial plug properly so that you have full insertion into the controller. And if you need additional assistance, RIG Customer Support is available via email at support.us@nacongaming.com or via phone at 1-833-622-6687. Thank you for choosing RIG Gaming products...

It worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good when gaming. The bases deep the troubles are high. But, the headset didn’t last and once again I did not buy the extended warranty. Come on Microsoft do better. It’s just over the 14 day return policy.

Posted .Was this review put in the correct place? Says "Microsoft do better". So possibly not indicative of the RIG 500 PRO HX product. Thanks

Solid value and worth considering!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very well designed, superb sound for the price point! The only downside is that they don’t function well on the Xbox Series X, but run flawlessly on my PS4 Pro and my Xbox One.

Good Sound and Very Light
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this after researching lots of others. I think after all things considered the lightweight, good fit and good sound were the pushing factors. I also like the volume control being on the controller plug.
