Plantronics RIG 700HD review: It improves on its predecessor, but perhaps not enough
“Plantronics” is no more—at least in theory. Having acquired Polycom in 2018, Plantronics took the opportunity a few months back to ditch its old name and rebrand as “Poly.” Why’d they change it? I can’t say. I guess someone liked it better that way.
The Plantronics RIG 700 is a better headset than its predecessor, a solid low-cost entry for wireless, but disappointing battery life undermines the improvements to build quality and audio.
Incredibly lightweight; Decent mid-range response and stereo width; Looks better than other Plantronics headsets;
Ditched Dolby Atmos for Windows Sonic surround; 12 hour battery life is pretty disappointing; Three-hole sizing adjustment is still a solution to a nonexistent problem;
