RIG 500 PRO HA Gen 2 Competition Grade PC Gaming Headset with Dolby Atmos 3D Surround Sound - 50mm Speaker Drivers - Flip-to-Mute Mic - Black/Copper: A Review

As a product reviewer, I often come across various gaming headsets in the market. But the RIG 500 PRO HA Gen 2 Competition Grade PC Gaming Headset caught my attention because of its unique features and Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound for immersive gaming experience. In this review, we'll discuss my personal experience with this headset and its features.

Firstly, I must talk about the design of the headset. The RIG 500 PRO HA Gen 2 has a unique look with black and copper finish, which gives it a premium feel. The lightweight exoskeleton earcups of the headphones are well-crafted and are designed to offer sound insulation, thereby blocking out the surrounding noise. The ear cups are also detachable, making it easy to clean the headset. The self-adjusting head strap is another valuable feature that offered me the perfect fit. I was able to adjust the headset to my size, and it felt comfortable even after long hours of use.

Moving on to sound quality. Powered by Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound, this headset has precision-tuned low distortion 50mm speaker drivers that offer incredible sound performance. The 3D audio experience was amazing as I could accurately detect the distance and direction of my enemies, thanks to Dolby Atmos technology. It gave me the upper hand while gaming, helping me react faster and more accurately.

Another feature that impressed me is the noise-canceling mic. It helps to eliminate background noise during voice chats, giving a tremendous advantage while gaming or communicating with teammates. The mic is also detachable, making it easy to use when required. The mic features a flip-to-mute function, which is beneficial in cases where one needs to pause the audio quickly.

When it comes to the build quality, it's apparent that RIG has made sure the headset is highly durable. The headband of the headset is made of steel and offers extreme flexibility and strength. The ear cups are designed to separate quickly when exposed to force, which helps minimize breakage.

The new gen 2 audio cable that comes with the headset further improves the gaming experience. It's a 1.5m, kink-resistant flat cable with an in-line volume control with max lock position, providing easy control to adjust the headset's audio. The audio cable also has a universally compatible 3.5mm audio connector that lets you use the headset with PCs, consoles, and other electronic devices.

While the RIG 500 PRO HA Gen 2 Competition Grade PC Gaming Headset with Dolby Atmos 3D Surround Sound has multiple features that make it stand out, there are still a few downsides that need to be discussed. One of the shortcomings is that the sound performance of this headset is not up to the mark in the mid to high-frequency range. Additionally, some users have reported problems with the headset's mic and cable quality.

Conclusion

The RIG 500 PRO HA Gen 2 Competition Grade PC Gaming Headset is undoubtedly a superior-quality product, offering exceptional comfort, durability, and sound quality. The Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound feature provides an immersive gaming experience, and the detachable noise-canceling mic improves communication and gameplay. Though there are a few downsides, these can be overlooked considering the price and value offered by the RIG 500 PRO HA Gen 2. Overall, I would recommend this headset to both casual and professional gamers alike.
