Regarding comfort, both headsets feature a supporting head-strap that rests gently on the skull and a durable headband that provides adequate-enough clamping force to keep the ear cups from slipping off during sudden movements. Coming in at 281 and 241 grams respectively, these headsets feel almost weightless compared to other premium Xbox headsets in their category. Anyway, the most pressing question that we knew we had to answer right away is: Between these two RIG headsets, which one is the definitive headset to own? Well, I’ve spent the past couple of weeks with both of them, and I’m happily ready to share my findings.įirst off, it goes without saying that a gaming headset built for competition needs to be lightweight and comfortable over long play sessions, and the RIG 500 Pro HX and 700 Pro HX tick both of those boxes effortlessly. Gamers who have been following the RIG line of products will recall that RIG was recently acquired by NACON in 2020 from Plantronics (which is now largely known as Poly), and that RIG’s street cred in the professional eSports scene stretches as far back as 2012, so when this new pair of headsets we knew that NACON and RIG weren’t messing around.Īs it turns out, we found both the RIG 500 Pro HX (Generation 2) and 700 Pro HX are exceptional sibling products that are so close in quality and features that it made more sense to focus on how these products compare with one another as opposed writing our traditional style of review, especially since bespoke Xbox headsets of RIGs caliber are still relatively scarce in the wild (though we will still touch upon a few of those). Leading game developer and peripheral manufacturer NACON provided us with two of their newest “Designed for Xbox” competition-grade, 3D Surround headsets for analysis, the wired RIG 500 Pro HX and the wireless RIG 700 Pro HX for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. We were recently presented with a conundrum here at CGMagazine.
