This one is very story driven, with plenty of dialogue along with lots of atmospheric sound and a wonderful soundtrack in the background, and it all sounded fantastic on the 800 Pro. I haven’t tried Vampyr yet, so I figured now was the best time to do so. With single player, I focused on using the headset on the PS5, and to great results. Besides that, I was also able to turn on Dolby Atmos through my PC, adding equalization and Dolby’s expertise to the experience. Not only does everything sound really good, the directional audio was sublime.

For multiplayer, I obviously played a lot of the third season of Call Of Duty: Vanguard ( our impressions here), and I was pleasantly surprised by the intangibles the RIG 800 Pro offers.

I generally put these through a few tests, and that’s generally playing multiplayer, single player, and of course music. The RIG 800 Pro features 40mm, low frequency resonator drivers, which is a lot of technical jargon to say they generally do lows and mids well while doing okay with bass-ey tones. While comfort is incredibly important, how it sounds is equally important. The other design function that I’ve always liked with RIG headsets is the fabric ski-band that keeps the pressure off of your head, another win for the 800 Pros. That’s not a knock on them in the slightest either, and I think it’s more a compliment of how light they are. Along with these the plastic design of the headset frame shouldn’t work as well as it does somehow feeling kind of cheap but being ridiculously durable. In fact, I’ve put in multiple hours of Call Of Duty on multiple occasions with these, and they’ve stayed cool the entire time. One of my biggest issues with headphones is heat that uncomfortable burning sensation some have on your ears or the top of your head after a while, but the RIG’s don’t do that at all despite my worries given the construction. The RIG 800 Pro features two very comfy earcups, with the outside a faux-leather and what rests on your ears a surprisingly plush fabric. With that out of the way, let’s talk about the actual headset. I’ve not had any issues with setting it onto the station and having the headset topple – the fit is perfect. The base itself is very pleasing to the eyes, and allows you to place the headset standing up on it to charge it which works with aplomb. The charge base works several ways in that it can function as only a charging station, but to save USB ports you can plug the wireless dongle into it.

Without further ado, let’s jump into the box! Inside you’ll find the aforementioned RIG 800 Pro, the USB wireless dongle, a wireless charge base, and a micro-USB charge cable. I really could start and end this one with a “Will it Call Of Duty”, another thing I do a lot of, but with the RIG 800 Pro surpassing my expectations it certainly deserves more of your and my time. As many know, I use a lot of different accessories, and I’ve been on a run talking about gear over the last couple of months, and Nacon has added yet another with the PlayStation model of the 800 Pro (the HS version which we’re reviewing).

The RIG 800 Pro is now here, and available in an Xbox, PlayStation, and soon a PC model. Let me first apologize for the terrible pun, but I do stand by it.
