Those sounds coming back the other way through the earcups are just as good. It allows for some superb communication across gaming channels, with instructions delivered with brilliant clarity and ease.
Whilst many may well prefer to find a flip-to-mute offering here – and we’re certainly in that group just because of the ease in which we lose things that can be removed – the detachable mic that is present has been nothing but a joy to use. Keeping connected to your mates and online squad is easy as well, mostly thanks to the detachable mic.

With Dolby Atmos support out of the box, a full volume dial, a separate game/chat balance dial and an easy-to-hit mute button all present on the left cup, gaming into the wee hours with the RIG 700 PRO HX is a cinch. Once connected, you are more than good to roll. The new wireless adapter is a big improvement over the old style cable and box that the previous 700 HX came with, and whilst we’d have liked to have seen the use of a slightly shorter unit, what is included here is pretty much standard stuff. It’s a simple process to get up and running and through testing we’ve not seen a single drop or issue with connection – in fact, it’s been rock solid throughout.

Instead the newly redesigned USB-A wireless adapter will ensure full connectivity with Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows 10 PC, with it just being a simple case of plugging it into your favoured USB-A socket, switching the headset on and awaiting connection confirmation. The need to power it up does of course mean that the RIG 700 PRO HX is a wireless headset and with no 3.5mm jack present at all, you won’t be able to use this across a range of devices. Similarly though, it’s no massive deal to be stuck with Micro-USB. It’s a bit of a shame that NACON haven’t decided to go all in here and throw some USB-C love at the 700 PRO HX though, especially as that is fast becoming the standard for all. We’re not convinced we’ve ever quite got that number out of the headset in real-world use, but when that juice starts to run low a simple plug and play with the included USB-A to Micro-USB cable for an hour or two will see you set right again. This is a headset that you can easily wear for hours at a time, in all situations, without ever feeling the heat or any form of discomfort.īranded for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC – although the RIG 700 also comes in HS form for PlayStation players too – the new 700 PRO HX is powered by an 850 mAh battery that should see you right for anything up to about 18 hours of play – again upped from the previous version’s 12 hours. These are padded with a combination of a leather material alongside cloth outers and are an absolute joy to have caressing your ears.

It’s helped along by some superbly well-cushioned earcups that surround the 40mm drivers that are included. Include the now standard RIG adjustability that is found in the headband itself – three notches are utilised instead of the usual slider you would find elsewhere – and combine that with the stupidly low weight of 240 grams – and you’ve got something that is right up there with the most comfortable headset you could ever imagine.
