Review gaming headset Plantronics RIG 500HS

Curious headset Plantronics RIG 500HS where you can buy more individual modules – for example, to take the place of the usual camouflage headband. Noise-canceling microphone, 40mm speakers, the price of 3590 rubles – all this attract.

Design, construction Plantronics RIG 500HS

Keep in mind, a series of 500 – this is not only Plantronics RIG 500HS, intended for the PS4, it’s also a headset for PC and Xbox One, in fact, there is one design differs only in a built-in cable. But the idea of ​​”five hundredth” very interesting, we have a modular design, boxed headset is parsed separately cups and individually headband, is the “Accessory” on the official website, where you can select the other ear pads, cables, carrying case and headband other colors. For example, here is a camouflage version.

In general – modules. The idea is interesting, I’d bought for Plantronics RIG 500HScamouflage headband, well, cups I like the ones that are on by default.

As you can see, there are three on the headband slot, insert the cup at any and adjust the size of the head – insert need to click, take out the cup without any problems. The microphone is on a flexible stem, she memorizes form. Used frankly cheap materials, but the headset itself also does not strike price – quite affordable product for those who want to try this thing and see how it is all you need to or not. Second, the soft headband made of fabric, the edges trimmed with eco-leather, fabric ear pads, too. This product is generally not perceived cheap – something like the impression of running shoes Nike Roshe One. Yes, they are available for everyone, but if they get it worse? The thing is quite certain purpose, that’s all. So it is with Plantronics RIG 500HS – there is no attempt to give cheap for expensive, but the headset sits well on the head, ears, and do not sweat headband is not felt. For ease of it all, one of the best gaming headsets that I have ever tasted.

Microphone Plantronics RIG 500HS

Despite the price, stated noise reduction system, the microphone can be turned off if you raise the leg up, comfortable and natural gesture. Leg removable if you do not want to have someone hear microphone or you can disable or remove. During PS4 games on one of the sound quality is not complaining, I had heard good.

Sound Plantronics RIG 500HS

Testing took place with the PS4, in fact, this model is designed just for this set-top boxes, still it can be used with a smartphone or tablet, but the sense in this bit. The cups are hidden dynamics of 40 mm, as they say on the official website, “a low-frequency resonators,” The connection is to the joystick, the cable length is more than enough. To test the sound using World of Tanks, The Division, Call of Duty. Quite a pity that there is no way to adjust the sound from the headset, we have to get into the game settings. By the way, if we talk about The Division, I advise you to select “TV Speakers” in the menu, the sound quality is improving.

As for effects shots, etc. – There is no such emotional outburst, like HyperX Cloud Revolver (with this headset each turn turns into puppy dog ​​enthusiasm, and buses in the “Division” shoot just for the sake of sound). Plantronics RIG 500HS – sort of hunky, allowing to hear more than the TV speakers. Good sound quality, but not much else. I would be quite able to play with the headset months and no steam – the price is nowadays very important, my friends.

Сonclusions Plantronics RIG 500HS

In the retail headset Plantronics RIG 500HS costs about 3590 rubles, in my opinion, for the owners of PS4 is a great purchase – especially for those who are just beginning to run in Battlefield or The Division with friends, want to get a convenient tool for communication and for playing at night, so as not to disturb home. I liked how the headset is sitting on the head, the ability to buy a headband of a different color, but the main thing here – it’s the price. PS4 owners highly recommend.
