    If the headset volume is too high for either the game or party chat, the other players in the party will hear themselves as an echo. You’ll have to lower the volume which is hard when playing games such as Rainbow 6 Siege which is 90% quiet and 10% loud bullets...

      Hello! Thank you for you review on our RIG 500 PRO HX headset, however, we are sorry to hear about your experience. This headset counts with dual-material ear cushions that use a moisture wicking fabric and leatherette combination to reduce distracting background noise. You may want to try adjusting the volume directly on your gaming console to see if there is an improvement. Please also note this headset counts with an activation code for Dolby Atmos to create a better experience while gaming. Our intention is to provide the highest quality products to our customers and we thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will forward your comments to our team for future consideration when developing new products. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/support/contact if you require assistance. plantronics

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on our RIG 500 PRO HX. We're sorry to hear you've had trouble with your unit. If you are experiencing audio issues please test it with a different device (mobile phone/tablet) to isolate the cause of the issue. If you still notice the crackle noise as you move your head, then the unit might have an actual problem related to hardware and we'll need to replace it. This model has a one-year warranty from date of purchase. Thank you for your comments. We will forward them to our team for review and consideration. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at:  https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/support/contact plantronics

    I returned this headset within a week if buying it. It was uncomfortable, the components were flimsy and clearly poor quality, and the cord was extremely short. Not to mention the headphone jack was just unnecessarily awkward. I upgraded to the Omen Mindframe headset.
