    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.

    Great set of wireless gaming headset

    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.
