Sound quality: Near pristine. Beautiful, balanced audio with good bass. Enabling Dolby Atmos on your console will double your pleasure.
Build quality: Really good. The plastic doesn't feel cheap or flimsy and no parts seem to creak or squeak like most other brands do (looking at you, Turtle Beach.)
Fit: It has a unique way of adjusting the fit that I've rarely seen before, but it works, and it's easy. It is also EXTREMELY comfortable. Most headsets hurt my ears and top of my head after a couple hours of gaming, but this headset never cause those issues.
Connectivity: This is where the review takes a turn. This headset has many constant issues with connecting to my console. Whether it connects properly and trasmits audio upon turning it on is a 50/50. Sometimes I have to reset the headset, and sometimes I have to restart my console to get it to work. Sometimes when turning it on, it will say "headset connected" then "headset not connected" then it will just repeat that over, and over again, and that's when I have to restart everything. Finally, the mic on this headset doesn't work on 360 games at all. If you play on a Series S/X, you'll know that Game Pass has a lot of throwback games, for example Call of Duty MW2/MW3/BO2 etc. The mic just simply does not work on those games, however the audio is fine. My old Turtle Beaches worked fine on 360 games, so it's definitely an issue with this headset's compatibility and not my console.
All around, this is a very good choice of a headset if you like quality and comfortability.

I've owned multiple gaming headsets and nothing is superior in sound or comfort than the 800PRO HX. I originally was going to purchase the A50 because I need a docking station but it's double the price and this has more features. I've experience zero lag, the connection is great. Buttons on the side are very handy and the flip to mute is underrated. Favorite headset and its not even close. The plus is I can easily switch from Xbox to PC.

I was not a fan of this headset. Comparing to the 800LX(one of my favorite), IN MY EXPERIENCE, this mic was too sensitive, the connection to the base was bad, and the battery life did not seem as good.
The sound was great and the headset was just as comfortable to wear gaming for any amount of time.
Sitting on the couch, the connection would drop and reconnect for no reason multiple times.
The microphone had to be in a certain position to pick up my voice but then when not speaking, it was able to pick up nose breathing, or the fan in the background, or anyone else doing anything near me. As someone who has a fan going 90% of the time this did not work for me.
The Dolby Atmos still sounds amazing and the ear cups are just as soft. The band stretching over the head is barely noticeable. And it is still light as a feather.
It costs the same as the old version but I noticed more drawbacks than improvements.
In the end, this model did not work for my needs.

I got this to replace an old HyperX cloud that was damaged and so far these are my new favorite. Very lightweight, you can wear them for hours and not get a headache. The Dolby app isn’t my favorite and I got tired of switching between settings but I found some custom setting suggestions online and now just stick with the one setting for both games and movies. I just bought another set for my partner because they tried mine and loved the comfortable fit. Battery life is pretty great, it’s got automatic shut off so if you forget to pop them in the charger you’re still gtg the next day. Definitely a good mid-level headset, use them everyday for several hours.

This headset is the best headset I’ve ever owned. The comfortability to the sound that comes out of the headset is bar none. The charging dock is awesome too and the battery life is amazing. I play a lot and I rarely ever have to charge it. The bass and treble in call of duty ro r6 siege is amazing you can hear everything and listening to music is great

I really really wanted to love these headphones. For reference I previously had the RIG 800LX's which are probably my favorite wireless gaming headset at this price point that I've used (way better than the stealth's). This headset I assumed was going to just improve on everything that the 800LX's got right which it did except for one thing, the microphone.
When using the headset none of my friends could hear me. According to them it was like the microphone started to cancel out my voice halfway through talking because they could either hear only the very beginning or the very end of whatever it was that I was saying. The only way to mitigate this is to have the mic so uncomfortably close to my mouth it wasn't worth it. I tried increasing the mic monitoring and that helped a bit but I still couldn't move the microphone more than a couple millimeters from my face. I initially assumed that my headset was defective so I sent it back and get a new pair but that did not solve the issue. 1 out of 5.
These are the most comfortable headphones I have ever used by far. I've worn them for over 8 hours and had absolutely no issues. 5 out of 5
The sound quality of these headphones is pretty good not as good as my Sennheiser pc38x's but good enough for gaming for sure. My only gripe is that the bass was a bit much, but that can be tuned in the Dolby Atmos app if you take the time with it. 5 out of 5 only because you can tune it in the Dolby app, 4 out of 5 straight out of the box
The switching between between pc/xbox worked well and was the main reason I went with RIG originally when I purchased the 800LX's
All in all I gave these a 3 out of 5 because I think that 90% of people are going to pick these up and they'll be the best headset they've ever owned, but unfortunately for me either the frequency/tone of my voice or some other unknown factor just caused the microphone not to work that well.

My all-time favorite gaming headset

This is actually my second RIG 800 Pro headset and it's the only one I'll ever use for gaming. My first set is now several years old and is still doing great, but I got the opportunity to get this latest version and since I have 2 xboxes in 2 different rooms, I had to get this one. My old one now stays with my old Xbox One X, and I use this one as my main set with my Xbox Series X.
Not much has changed with the RIG 800. The design has been pretty much kept the same over the years, as has its form and function. But there's no reason to mess with a great formula that works. Some pieces of material are a little different but the biggest change with this new RIG 800 version is the mic arm is pliable and much easier to bend to the best fit.
Function wise the sound that this headset produces with Dolby Atmos installed on your Xbox, included by the way with this headset, is like no other headset I've tried. Just the clarity alone, and how well you can hear every single little sound, along with exactly where that sound should be coming from, or perceived to be coming from, is incredible. It's so enjoyable in fact, that I oftentimes prefer using them over my home surround sound system. Which is saying a lot for me because I will almost always choose external sound that fully encompasses you over sound that's just on top of your ears.
Talking about sound on top of your ears, headsets need to be comfortable to wear too. It doesn't matter how good they perform if they're not comfortable to wear. The pads though on this headset are extremely soft and thick and so comfortable and the headset is light enough overall that you almost don't even feel it. I've worn the RIG 800 for some long marathon sessions with absolutely no discomfort at all. In fact, you know it's comfortable when you take them off at the end of a long gaming session and don't feel much difference or that sense of relief that you get when you wear something that isn't truly comfortable.
The controls on the headset are easy to use and adjustable too, and it's nice that all it takes is flipping the mic arm up to mute it. And when you're not using the mic it doesn't get in the way at all. Another nice feature with this new version is the charging stand and the fact that it's optional. The stand not only charges the headset, but also acts as the receiver. But if there's not a good space for it, like there isn't on my main entertainment set-up, you can still just use the small usb receiver without the stand and charge the headset by just plugging the charging cable directly into them.
Here's the other great thing about this headset since we're talking about the receiver that makes these wireless, there's absolutely zero audio lag. That's a problem I've faced with other wireless speakers/headsets, especially bluetooth ones. Whatever tech they use with the usb receiver and these headphones is, it works perfectly. The audio from the very first time I used these have always been perfectly in sync with the video.
Finally I should just mention setting these up, which couldn't be easier. I just downloaded the Dolby Atmos app on my Xbox Series X, and it immediately recognized this headset and switched on Atmos for headsets setting. So in other words, hardly any setup at all, it just works.
So if you're looking for a good headset for your Xbox, or PC too, the RIG 800 Pro HX is the one to get. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough, these are just one of those products that works so well that it has earned both my trust and loyalty.

Astounding sound quality. Atmos really shines with this headset. The 7.1 is amazing with any media from games, movies or music, everything sounds amazing and like your in the room actually experiencing the action. The battery life is the best I've found in the donzen or so different headsets I've had, definitely lives up to the 24 hours of life. Now my only two problems I have with these wonderful set of cans is it could be louder and they dont have Bluetooth, so no using them with your phone but overall I'm quite happy with the overall performance and would recommend unless you need a louder set or want Bluetooth connectivity. The base station and dongle work great, charging does take some many hours but they last a very long time even at max volume. Working both on Xbox and PC gives some nice versatility along with either pluging the dongle into the base station or directly into the device is nice. So far no problems other the no Bluetooth. Extremely light and comfortable.

This headset works with both the xbox and PS5, however the Dolby atmos feature is only for the Xbox. Regardless this has great sound and is just plug and play. If you dont have the dolby atmos app for the xbox you will need to download it though.

Really great headset. Solid treble, mid, and bass while the stand it comes with is really nice. Lasts a very long time and lets you know when it’s low or high in battery whenever you turn it on. Comfortable as well, solid buy!

I’ve had this headset for over a year and have had no problems with it whatsoever. I am pretty rough with it every once in awhile and they still work great. I stick them on the charger every night and they have never died on me. I have accidentally left them on and not on the charger for about 32 hours once and they didn’t die. That is just the battery and durability. They are very comfortable and the sound quality is amazing. The mic also sounds great. I can’t think of any cons with my headset.

I have owned and used the Rig 800 LX for approximately 5 years and was excited to start using the 800 Pro HX. I have to say I prefer the Rig 800 LX over the Pro HX. Rig is now using the area on the bottom of the ear cup for connecting the headset to the charging base and in the process eliminated the equalizer button. There is no equalizer adjustment on the headset, which requires equalizer adjustments in the Atmos App. I could never get the same full sound when adjusting in the Atmos App. I missed having the ability to quickly change the sound profile by cycling through the equalizer button on the headset. The other thing that surprised me was the ear pads. The comfort level of the headset is still amazing, however, I found my ears were heating up quickly making them less comfortable overall than the cloth covered 800 LX ear pads. Build quality is still great, they are light weight, and the charging base and USB adapter is a nice touch. The headset adjustments work great, and don't worry about breaking them as many have expressed concerns about. The headset is very durable. Even though I prefer the sound on the LX, I have to say the new Pro HX had better bass. For FPS games, I much prefer the 800 LX. I was not apple to achieve the same level of clarity for the Pro HX using the Atmos App. If you never owned the 800 LX you may find you really like these. I hate to say this, but in my opinion there are better options out there, such as the Razor Kaira Pro, and Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2.
