![]() One thing I would love to see incorporated into this set-up though is the ability to connect it to my laptop. The headphones automatically connect to it and I had no issues with a lost connection. The optical cable is used for the audio signal while the USB connection is for powering the transmitter. ![]() Plantronics does not include an optical cable for set-up. That transmitter connects using USB-A and Optical cables. The headphones are wireless and communicate to your system through a transmitter. The inner band is elastic and flexes with the shape of your head, but it’s not the same as a fully adjustable headband. There are only three levels to choose from rather than a sliding headband which allows you to fine-tune your adjustment. I’m not sure why Plantronics took this route to make these adjustable. In order to move the earpieces to the proper place for you, you have to snap them out of the headband and replace them into the right slot. Set-Up: One of the first things I noticed about these headphones is that they don’t have a traditional adjustable headband. I held them up with some other wireless headphones (non-gaming) and found them to be quite a bit heavier. They look like other gaming headsets in size and form, but in my opinion, they look like ‘techie’ and like they belong on a military base. Style: The Rig 880HD headphones have a fairly unique style to them. I would love to see a more inclusive label that indicates more systems are compatible with these headphones so that someone who sees them on the shelf won’t just pass them by based on the “PC GAMING” label on the box. The main label on the box actually indicates that the headphones should ‘only’ be used with a PC, but there is an activation code for the Dolby Atmos app for the Xbox. The details that are printed on the box show that the headphones should have a 24-hour battery, provide immersive 3D sound, and work with either a PC/Laptop or Xbox. The headphones come in a heavily branded box with an image of the product on the front. Headphone frequency response 20 Hz–20 kHz.It has 40mm drivers to deliver immersive game audio and the mic is noise-canceling to ensure your teammates can hear you no matter what is going on in the game. When it’s flipped up, the microphone is muted. The microphone function is designed to activate when the boom (the mechanism that rotates the microphone up and down) is flipped down to use it’s active. The headphones have a long-life battery - up to 24 hours of wireless listening - and a 10M range of lag-free wireless audio. Each headset comes with a pre-paid activation for the feature. They feature Dolby Atmos for Headphones that will pull you into the game. The Plantronics Rig 800HD Gaming Headset is designed for gamers to get a competitive edge. I’ve had the same set for a few years now and am looking to upgrade so when I saw that Plantronics, a brand I’ve liked for a long time, had a gaming headset with Dolby Atmos included as a feature, I took a chance and tried them out. I hate wires and as a result, I seek out wireless gaming headsets to complete my set-up. ![]() But I like to play loud games later in the evening so I typically use a set of headphones to enjoy my play time. I’ve always been big into console gaming.
