Maybe a little more expensive than you would normally pay for headphones but well worth the money!!! Stunning sound crisp lear and extremely well balanced bass. Completely enhances the audio experience!!! Patted myself on the back for selecting these - very happy!!!!

Plantronics RIG 800LX is a premium, wireless, and comfy gaming headset that works on both Xbox One and PC. It sounds "full" on the ears, thanks to the larger cups, and offers a wide sound stage with powerful sound.

Incredibly lightweight and comfortable, the Plantronics RIG 800LX would be one of our favorite wireless headsets-if it weren't for a bass driver...

Comfortable and incredibly lightweight; especially for a wireless headset; Dolby Atmos support is a neat novelty; Long-lasting battery

All-plastic construction feels fragile; Unintuitive and cumbersome sizing adjustment; Bass and treble both distort even at moderate volumes

So I been rocking with Plantronics for a while now mostly using their Backbeat series ranging from earbuds all the way to high-end office headphones. It's been awhile since I really sat down some of their gaming headphones as my colleague Mike usually handles that but I was interested in their RIG...

Plantronics has been making headsets for a long while, and . The Plantronics RIG 800 series is made up of two models: The 800LX is for PC and Xbox One gamers while the 800LS is for PlayStation 4 gamers.

I currently own a pair of Turtle Beach 500x. This headset works great, but I was too intrigued by the idea of ATMOS in a headset. So I bought the 800lx. Wow, they are by far the most comfortable headset I've ever worn. The directional awareness you get with them is unmatched during shooter games.

Owned the turtle beach stealth 700 before these but they broke so gave these a try on the YouTube reviews and I am not disappointed, very comfortable headset to wear battery life is really good owned for nearly a week now and still have not had to charge them. All in all can not fault

There are plenty of brands out there dabbling in the console gaming headphones space. However, until recently, there's not been a huge gulf between the best and the brightest in the area. Sure, some headphones might offer better fit or longer battery life.

Dolby Atmos does sound good; Battery life is longer than the competition

Dolby Atmos not very well supported; Iffy ergonomics
