Customer Ratings & Reviews

The RIG - R8 SPECTRE PRO HS Wireless Bluetooth Gaming Headset offers unparalleled performance and sound quality. It is a premium product that will appeal to gamers that want top notch quality. The fit and finish is likewise what you would expect at this price point. The headset is sturdy but also comfortable to wear. Sound quality it superb and sounds similar to premium headphones that I use with my home theater system. Even though this headset is branded as a PS product, it is fully compatible with PC’s using the USB receiver or Bluetooth. I tested it with my PS5 and gaming PC and found this headset to be fully functional with both. The first thing I noticed about this product is the substantial mass. While being what I would describe as sturdy, the headset is surprisingly light for its footprint. You will know it is there, but it is surprisingly comfortable to wear. It is manufactured from a lightweight but strong material that should hold up well under vigorous use. The first step I took was to download the App and pair the headset to the App. The App is full featured and offers a substantial amount of adjustment to the use and sound of the headset. As expected, there is a full featured equalizer as well as other customization options. The included wireless USB receiver works perfectly with my PS5 as well as my gaming PC. I tested it watching videos from streaming App’s as well as gaming. The sound was amazing either way I used it and I plan to use it for both uses. I think it is great that this headset will fulfill my gaming needs and that if I want to take a break from gaming, that I can then switch seamlessly to watching videos. The sound quality from the RIG R8 SPECTRE PRO HS Gaming Headset is excellent. This is due the the premium engineering and heavy duty drivers. The sound is full range and detailed, and the bass is as deep as you want it to be. As i indicated above, this headset can double as general purpose headphones for watching entertainment videos. In my opinion even the most discerning audiophile will be impressed with the sound quality. The boom microphone also excels at transmitting sound. The operating hours is the best I have seen in a headset to date. I have been using it for several days now for a few each day, and it has barely made a dent to the battery. The headset cradle doubles as a charger but since the battery lasts so long the cradle can be put away until needed. This is how I am using it since I prefer a minimalist aesthetic. I highly recommend the RIG - R8 SPECTRE PRO HS Wireless Bluetooth Gaming Headset to gamers and casual users alike. It excels at gaming and entertainment listening. This is the best gaming headset that I have used to date, and am looking forward to using it for my gaming and entertainment needs.

I had been using the same headset since before the PS5 even came out because I had not found a headset I preferred more. The R8 SPECTRE PRO HS Dual Wireless Gaming Headset is a much-welcomed accessory for my PS5. The main things I look for in a headset are comfort, gaming audio, and microphone/chat performance. The R8 exceeds in all of these categories. Part of a comfortable headset starts with its design. The R8 PRO has both memory foam cushions and headband which make them extremely comfortable and easy to wear for hours while in the most intense gaming sessions. They also fold with a lay flat design that makes them easy to travel with if that is your thing. The boom microphone only goes one direction meaning there is a left and right to the headset. The microphone is extremely flexible which allows for easy micro adjustments. The overall materials are high quality and durable meaning this headset is meant to last. Magnetic ear cushions and mod plates allow you the ability to customize the headset and make it your own. Probably one of the most important parts of any headset is the audio. The R8 PRO has 40mm graphene drives. These drivers offer richer, crisper sound, while reducing distortion. The sound profiles have been custom tuned for the specific gaming styles such as active shooters. There is a companion mobile app that allows you to fine tune your audio profile. This headset also offers 3D audio which gives you surround sound that makes you feel like you are in the game you are playing. It can also be helpful for hearing gun fire or footsteps in certain directions. The R8 PRO is rated at 60+ hours of run time. Rest assured that you can continue gaming for multiple days without having to recharge the headset. Charging is extremely easy with the included base station. You can also add additional USB-c dongles to switch between consoles with a single button. Overall, the R8 PRO headset it a must have for serious gamers. It is a high-quality headset that is comfortable and offers top audio quality.

I will start with saying that I am very surprised in the low price on the RIG R8 Spectre Pro HS gaming headset. I have a large collection and these sound downright amazing, and swing way outside of their league! I find myself using these for music on my phone over other headphones I have because they are so comfortable and have such an amazing sound quality. They don't stop there though, as they are so full of features! I love the ability to play a game on my PS5 and take a call on the same headset at the same time! No more interrupting your gaming when someone wants to chat, which is so convenient. The battery life is also solid, I find myself not even worrying about charging them often since it is so great. The charting stand makes it easy when I do need to charge them, as they are stored away safely at the same time! The audio for gaming also sets you apart from the competition, no issues hearing footsteps and getting a really good idea of where they are coming from with the R8 Spectre Pro. Mic quality is crystal clear, and this is true for gaming chat and phone calls as well which is very nice. Overall I do not see any options out there as feature rich as these, with such great build quality and sound. These are the cream of the crop!

The Rig R8 Spectre Pro wireless gaming headset is incredible. The headphones have been plug and play with my PS5 pro. The App helps to dial in audio for specific games and can improve as the community grows. I enjoy the RGB on the charging stand. It helps to ensure the headphones are properly connected to the charge port as it simply is placed in the dock without an hassle. There is also not physical feedback with the stand to let you know it is sitting in place correctly so the RGB on the stand helps to know it is charging. When I initially picked up these headphones I thought. Oh no these are bulky and heavy I may not like these. I am glad that impression was wrong. I have played a few 6+ hour gaming sessions and did not deal with fatigue from the headphones. I was surprised and happy with the ergonomics of the headphones. The audio quality is good. For a consumer looking for a product that just works out of the box. Sounds good. Build quality is solid. This is a great set of gaming headphones. They also have a neat feature where you can swap out the outer plastic covering the speakers to any design they offer on their website. Cool you can customize them that way.

RIG R8 SPECTRE PRO HS Dual Wireless Gaming Headset with Graphene Drivers and Base Station for PlayStation WOW what a great headset, but not just a headset for gaming BUT a headset also for your phone and music! In the nice packaging you get.... - R8 Pro HS Headset - Charging Base - USB Transmitter - Charge & Data Cable You can plug the base into the PS5 then plug the Transmitter into the base station then put the headset on the base station to charge it. Pairing with the USB Transmitter is automatically done, you hold the Bluetooth button down for 6 seconds then pair with your phone. Now every time you press the Bluetooth button (for a second) you can switch between phone, PS5, or both phone and PS5 at the same time. Gaming..... is just wow, pull the mic boom down to activate the mic and put the mic boom up to mute the mic. After paired with a phone you download the app "RIG R-PRO Navigator" Once in the app you can change the EQ (starts with a basic EQ but you can choose expert mode for a lot of adjustments to the EQ). You also can adjust the microphone gain and microphone Monitoring (you also get an optional Expert Mode to get more precise control of the two). You also can set three profiles to save to, like one for gaming, one for phone, and one for music. The sound and mic in gaming is just outstanding. Lots of bass if you adjust for it, to the point you will have to turn the bass down some (at least for me and I love bass). Crystal clear audio and voice from other players. Battery is outstanding, 60 hours of battery, I never run out of battery, as i charge it every night. Gaming with the R8 is just top notch audio, I can hear footsteps so clear, just wow TOTAL IMMERSION. Sound when talking on the phone is also outstanding I can hear the other party crystal clear and they can hear me, also when I stop talking it's so quiet on their end (if I have no noise in the background) the other party thinks we got disconnected. I absolutely love the RIG R8 Pro HS and highly recommended.

In the box is the headset, charging station (stand) including snap and lock plate (transmitter)), USB to USB-C charge cord, instructions (quick start guide) and warranty guide. (FYI - There is no charging brick.) (Yep, there is an app.) First Impression – The headset seems heavy. There is a LOT of padding for the top of the head and the ear muff. The headset seems well constructed. Bluetooth Transmitter – I like this part of the system because you can plug it directly into the PS5. This piece (like a dongle) allows you to transmit the Bluetooth signal between the headset and the PS5. There is a USB-C space on the charging station (stand) to secure and store the transmitter. With this piece, you have the option of being wireless or wired to the stand. Headset Design including Comfort – The headset is VERY comfortable. On the first day, I wore the headset for about two and a half hours and I had no discomfort. Sound (Headphones and Mic) – The sounds quality and range is excellent; there were deep base sounds and voices were super clear. The recipients also reported that my voice was crisp and clear. The App – There is a recommendation to download the app, especially for the updates. The app also allows you to customize the lighting on the stand. There has been a few hiccups with the app currently but this does not affect the usage of the headset. Overall, I am really enjoying this headset. The only drawback for me at the moment is the headset not coming with its own power brick. I understand why because you can plug the station directly into the PlayStation but it is nice to have independent power. I would recommend this item to friends and family and I would purchase again.

This wireless gaming headset is a very nice pair. Out of the box it comes with a very heavy duty docking station, a charging cord, a usb-c wireless adapter, and the gaming headset. The setup is very easy as you download an app and after you do you have to connect the gaming headset. There is a voice text as well as audible beeps after you connect it to your cell phone. Once it is connected you can either connect the usb-c adapter to either your gaming console or use it to listen to your cell phone. Inside the app you can setup different listening profiles. You have quite a few choices to adjust how you would like to hear. Including microphone gain and microphone monitoring. Microphone monitoring is where you can have it off or mid or high of the level you hear your own voice while speaking. It also has an equalizer setting for gaming or if you want to listen to music. There are other functions as well but I haven't used them all. The sound is very good and I like how to adjust how my voice sounds. These have noise cancelling which at first I didn't think it worked that well but I had people talking behind me and never heard them. They fit really nicely and they don't feel to warm as some do when you wear them for long periods of time. I would definitely buy another pair in the future.

RIG - R8 SPECTRE PRO gaming headset is awesome! I plugged in the headset and it was awesome to hear the sound coming from my Playstation 5. Things flying around my head and made me feel like i was very immersed in the game itself. Packaging - Marketing has done a wonderful job of boxing this device. Everything is in a very compact box and easy to gain access. Cords, docking station, etc. Comfortability - These headphones are very comfortable. Ear cushions fit snug but not overly tight. In my basement, I have two reef tanks and I cannot hear either of them with this headset on. Sound - Nice and rich, really good bass. Playing music on my playstation rocks, really enjoying these headphones. Turned the headphones to 3D to see the difference and set the sound through the wizard. All I can say is WOW! Amazingly amazing. I was very impressed from the very first time I turned it on and heard the sounds. App - Easy to download and install on my phone. I was then able to update them and sounded even better than they did when I tried them originally. Love the ease of use and to set the headphones up in matter of seconds and sounding like crazy good. So good.
