Is the RIG 700HX good? Can you Connect RIG 700HX to phone?

While the RIG 700HX might play it subtle in terms of how it looks and feels, it’s in the various quality-of-life features where it packs the most punch. All the expected gaming headset heavy hitters are here and then some, justifying it still fair but not insignificant $130 / £119 price.

The RIG 700HX delivers a durable, ultra-lightweight wireless gaming headset. Choose the precise levels that work for you with a game/chat balance dial and adjustable mic monitoring. And with Dolby Atmos®, you’ll experience powerful, moving audio that sweeps all around and above you.

For gamers looking for a wireless console and PC gaming headset close to the $100 range, Plantronics has recently launched a $129.99 product that you may want to consider. We liked the last headset they produced in this realm, the RIG 800LX, which went for $150 and gave you a solid wireless solution for the Xbox One and PC. However, the RIG 700HX brings the price even lower while endeavouring to provide you with practically the same quality and experience as the RIG 800LX. Also, like the 800LX, the RIG 700HX is available in Xbox One/PC and PS4/PC models.

Does RIG 700HX have Dolby Atmos?

The build of the RIG 700HX takes the merits of the RIG headset line into account in this latest model. First, you have a plastic headband with a cushioned fabric mesh resting on your head. The ear cups mouth a cushion design that I’m happy to see in extra and more headsets these days. That is to say. The pillows employ a fabric and imitation leather hybrid skin, where the cloth mesh comes in interaction with your skin, and the surrounding leather assists in achieving a solid acoustic seal.

Ear cup placement and headset adjustment have a unique twist here, as with many other RIG headsets, where the ear cups remain positioned into three height slots. In addition, ear cups can be popped and snapped back into a set headband at three-size places.

Can you use RIG 700HX on your PC?

And also, All of the RIG 700HX’s controls remain on the left ear cup. In addition, you have a game/chat volume balancer, a power button, a master volume button, a micro USB charge port, and a mute mic button on the bottom. The boom mic is highly supple and removable, should you not need to converse with others.

Setup is relatively modest with the RIG 700HX, as you plug the wireless receiver into your Xbox One or PC. You then clasp the switch on the back of the receiver to the stage you are playing on, turn on the telephone, and you are good to go.

Correct, the Plantronics RIG 700HX is an extraordinarily light yet comfortable headset. The headset maintains a firm yet gentle grip. The ear cup cushions feel cool against the skin while doing a solid job of isolating environmental sound. It is not the first Plantronics RIG headset we have reviewed, and it still surprises me that their simple three-size-fit design works as well or as comfortably as it does. With the size of the Mellon that sits atop my neck and shoulders, I was almost sure that I would have to adjust the headset to the largest setting. However, the out-of-the-box “medium” worked just fine.

Does RIG 700HX have Bluetooth?

The flexible hairband also helped out in the comfort section, as it stretched my head, depriving me of my ears or the glasses I use while gaming at home. The fabric-leatherette ear cushion combo allowed for minimal to non-existent levels of fatigue, as I spent practically full days using the headset without so much of a complaint. The Plantronics RIG 700HX excelled in the comfort department.

The Plantronics RIG 700HX keeps it simple in the features department, giving you a straightforward solution for wireless gaming on the Xbox One. It comes out of the box and is compatible with Windows Sonic, Microsoft’s free surround sound software for Xbox One and PC. However, should you have an active Dolby Atmos license, you are free and ready to experience surround sound with that solution on either platform with the RIG 700HX.

Conclusion:

The RIG 700HX delivers a solid sound presentation, with crisp highs, some nice mids, and a soft yet still present bass. Bullets, gunfire, and footsteps are easy to pick up with the headset, with both Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos assisting with positional audio. I mainly used the RIG 700HX with Destiny 2 as my first-person shooter. When barraged with attacks and explosions, I could pick up approaching enemies quite well. In Gears of War 5, I got to experience more of the over-head audio effects that both Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos provide, leading to a very satisfying and immersive experience.
