My setup is up to date with no other available updates. Or was there supposed to be some other settings? With the voice notification 'headset is/is not connected' and frequently skipping, even total loss of sound, it was no fun at all. Was it because of the interference or I got a bad one? My wireless game controller works fine though. unfortunately, that has to be the location. Headset has medium battery but keeps connect/disconnecting during the game, and I was sitting fairly close to the console, but on the other hand the xbox is sitting next to my router too. Hooked it up via usb and set up the dolby thingy. OK guys, this is my first console (xb1x) and first gaming headset. I want the 'true wirelss, no dongle' part though. I hope I did not just jumped to another sinkhole after climbing up, coz it was the constant disconnection that bugged me most.Īccording to the pricing, at least I can have Steelseries Arctic 5 and the new Hyperx cloud flight and logitech G933 to pick. I wasn't too sure about my pick coz the mixed reviews I've seen, and many early adopters were complaining about the 'disconnection' which seemed to get better with rounds of Firmware updates. I got the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 mentioned here.

I wasn't able to get an even exchange to try out another RIG800 coz of the availability, but instead, I got to pick pretty much any $149 msrp headset as exchange. Update: I hope I made the right choice, guys. The views of the moderation team do not reflect the view of Microsoft or its subsidiaries.

Flicking between radio stations and listening to the licensed music equally served to showcase the RIG 700 HX’s strong surround sound capabilities. Again, the revs of each car engine could be fully heard from every direction and angle, whether I was pulling ahead of rivals in the lead solo or aggressively battling it out neck and neck with other racers on the track. Sticking with the theme of Xbox One exclusive games, I also gave the RIG 700 HX the tall task of accurately immersing me in the thrills of Forza Horizon 4. The RIG 700 HX’s 40 mm, high-sensitivity drivers with bass tubes results in incredibly sharp and clear in-game audio, only aided by the cushioned isolated earcups that work to trap all of this in. I’m pleased to report that the chugging of J.D Fenix’s lancer always sounded appropriate, successfully delivering both the deep-toned punch of shots and satisfying high-pitched click of reloads to great effect. The tagline for Poly’s RIG 700 line is 'Gear Up', so to test the audio performance of the RIG 700 HX gaming headset I thought it appropriate to play through some Gears of War – namely, a bit of Gears 5 and its 2016 predecessor. Overall, the RIG 700 HX doesn’t disappoint design-wise. It’s so light, in fact, that I would have forgotten I was actually wearing it were it not for the left-side boom mic poking out in my peripheral vision.

On top of this, each earcup can be adjusted to one of three pegs either side, allowing you to easily adjust to your head size, so it’s reasonably versatile too. More than just a bold claim, however, I was left extremely impressed with how airy it always feels to wear even during the most extended of play sessions. The RIG 700 HX is being advertised chiefly as an 'ultra-light wireless headset'. Some might be left a little disappointed that other colour options are lacking, but for me it’s a plus. My one worry with dedicated gaming headsets from the likes of Corsair, Razer and now Poly is always that they’ll look garish, but in the RIG 700 HX there’s been some restraint shown – it’s all the better for it. It boasts a simple yet effective all black design, featuring solid plastic construction with padded headband and ear cushions that manages to feel high-end despite the headset’s inherent light weight. First things first, the RIG 700 HX looks sophisticated.
