Technical characteristics

Plantronics RIG 500HS

Plantronics gives us a fantastic presentation with a full color image of the product on its cover and a superior label with its compatibility with the Playstation 4. On the back we have all the most important technical characteristics.

Inside we find the Plantronics RIG 500 HS headset protected in a plastic blister. It has dimensions of and a weight of 200 grams. The bundle incorporates:

Plantronics RIG 500 HS. Manual and documentation.

The design is really attractive for Playstation 4 users with a black color and a flexible and resistant structure. The helmets are fully adjustable and adaptable. We anticipate that we will find in the market five more versions designed for Playstation, Xbox one and PC.

The design is much more striking and the comfort is quite good thanks to the adjustable headband that offers greater stability. We also have a second fabric headband that allows us greater comfort.

One of the big improvements is the incorporation of a memory foam that blocks noise in the 40mm drivers, which are low frequency. Its cushions are covered with microfiber offering excellent comfort, although we have already analyzed helmets that offer a better experience. The helmets have a response of 20 Hz to 20kHz, 32 ohms and a sensitivity of 111 dB.

The microphone is adjustable and allows us to fold it to silence it in case we do not want to use it, it is already known by all that this function is very useful both when playing and in videoconferencing with your console. This has a response of 100 Hz to 10 kHz.

We have a 3.5 mm minijack connection and four ways that to get the most out of it we must connect it to our PlayStation 4 or Smartphone, we can also use it on the PC but only as audio headphones, without being able to use the microphone.

Experience and conclusion

The Plantronics RIG 500HS are the perfect helmets for your console. They are comfortable, flexible and with a double headband structure that fits perfectly on your head.

In our tests with the Playstation 4 we have spent hours of games flying and offering great comfort. The microphone offers a great experience, with clear and distortion-free sound.

Currently we can find the Plantronics RIG 500HS in online stores for a price of 60 euros. We see it as a 100% recommended product for the most consoleros.
