I’m more than happy to say that they took that challenge personally and my performance improved quite a bit. You can tell someone’s direction from sound alone, and these games really put the RIG PRO 800 HD to the test. Hunt Showdown and Marauders are known for situational audio. I replayed that very section without the headset and I wasn’t half as immersed without the small audio details that can get washed out with television speakers. The ambient sound while creeping around in Resident Evil was only trumped by the creaking and radio bleeps while sitting behind the gun on an aircraft in Call Of Duty. The audio quality which is powered by Dolby Atmos provides you with some of the cleanest audio I have heard. I used this headset with Resident Evil 8: Village, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Hunt Showdown, and Marauders to see how it handled the more intense aural spectrum of gaming. So it feels physically great, but how’s the quality and functionality of the product? I used several different titles to try and see if there were any weak spots. The connection for this is magnetized, so as long as it’s inserted the right way, the headset just glides in. It’s extremely portable but has a gloss finish on the top which is prone to small scratches, especially when you’re docking the headset to charge. The dock is just slightly longer than the headset and is connected to consoles/computers via a micro USB cable. It’s not only a charger but also a wireless booster! This increases both the strength of the connection and reduces audio lag. It’s easily the comfiest pair of headphones I’ve worn in my years of gaming. It’s cushioned enough that it feels snug without it clamping down on your skull. It can be flipped up to mute or down to activate and for some reason has a glossy finish unlike the other parts of the headset. The microphone wire is covered in flexible hard plastic making it less prone to damage and fraying from use. This is not something put out on the cheap. From removing it from the sturdy packaging you can tell just from the feel that it’s a strong product. My first physical impressions of the headset are very positive. It’s now my time to shine and talk about the headset and gauge if it’s worth the asking price which clocks in at around £199.99. Right now all the technical jargon is out of the way. Surround Sound: Dolby Atmos for Headphones Big Rigsįirst off I’ll put a list of all the specs for you audiophiles out there straight from the Nacon product page. While I’ve always been a skeptic when it comes to headsets and audio quality, I jumped at the chance to spend some time with HD-quality audio, wire-free. In this review, I’m going to look at the RIG PRO 800 HD wireless headset by Nacon.
