![]() A second dial also adjusts overall volume. Simply slide the dial one way to maximize chat, or the other to put more emphasis on game audio. In-game chat sounds clear as well, and is easily adjustable with a dial on the back of the headset. The side view of the RIG 700HX Plantronics There is no way to easily adjust the audio, even with preset settings, but the audio balance is nice and feels like it’s right down the middle between high, mid, and low-range sound. Playing through something like Gears 5 is perfect with the 700HX, because you can pick up on the tiny details of footsteps and soft dialog, while getting to enjoy the full sounds of explosions and other bombastic moments. This means your head won’t get too hot wearing the headset, while still blocking out some noise around you.Īs far as performance goes, the 700HX holds up very well. The ear cups also have a cloth fabric on them, allowing a little bit of breathability.

Considering this is a wireless headset, that’s very impressive. Seriously, I think I’ve used earbuds that weigh more than this headset does. The most immediately noticeable feature of the 700HX is just how light it is. The 700HX features a virtually seamless set up thanks to a wireless USB-powered dongle, and once everything is plugged in, you’re good to go. ![]() While that statement sounds a little harsh, it should be mentioned that the 700HX is a really good headset on its own. How does the 700HX fit into the lineup of Plantronics gear? Kind of awkwardly, to be honest. Plantronics has been building up a line of quality headphones over the years and the most recent release is the RIG 700HX, a wireless offering built for the Xbox One and PC (the PS4 version of the headset is called the RIG 700HS, which is identical outside of the whole “wireless headsets made for one console can’t work on the other” thing*). ![]()
