“RIG Headset + Mixer is truly unique as the first gaming headset
developed with mobile at its core, which allows for seamless calls,
side game chat, music, and a variety of other second screen uses.
For gamers, RIG connects their game life with their real life,”
said Chuck Frizelle, Head of Plantronics Gaming. “It is a very
compelling value – offering a premium experience, audio quality,
and versatility across PC, consoles and mobile devices, that makes
RIG an ideal all-in-one headset audio solution.”
Additional features of RIG include:
- An innovative mixer – the heart
of the RIG system – seamlessly connects the virtual world and the
real world. Find the perfect mix of game audio, voice chat and
smartphone audio with twin sliders, and take a call with one
touch.
- Interchangeable mics – the
noise-cancelling boom blocks background noise for clear
communication, and can be swapped out for the inline mic with mute
and call control – for music, chat or gaming on the go.
- Street style industrial design
reflects the RIG system’s premium performance and active lifestyle
orientation. A gaming headset that looks as good on the street as
it does in the living room.
- Ultra-comfortable ear cushions and
headband are designed for marathon gaming sessions. Soft ear
cushions provide long-wearing comfort, and the headband has the
right level of tension for a perfect fit.
- Offering universal compatibility
with PC/Mac, Xbox 360, PS3, smartphones and tablets, RIG
elegantly moves between computers, consoles and mobile devices
without missing a beat.
