The earcups for the RIG 500 PRO HX are highly customizable. The oval, stereo earcups can be removed and snapped back on the frame into one of the three prongs. And with it a soft, comfortable, adjustable headband that doesn’t pull my hair when I remove it. The 500 PRO HX headset is incredibly customizable, fitting virtually any head size.

You will also want to make sure your 50mm drivers are up to date. The 500 PRO HX has a 3.5m jack but many PCs may require a two-pronged adapter. The package also includes a quick start guide, 1-year, limited warranty, and a free, 2-year subscription to Dolby Atmos Access. But the cord is flat to prevent entanglement.
The cord is only 1.2 meters or 3.9 ft long with a 3.5mm single jack input. The frame is a lightweight metal with a brushed, matte black finish and an almost reflective greyish branding on the external band and both earphones. The RIG 500 PRO HX package includes its customizable, tactical, design headset and detachable, noise-canceling mic boom.

Note: This review is based solely on PC compatibility and use. But does this less expensive version of the RIG 500 PRO Esport headset hold up to some of the best gaming headsets for PC? It’s promoted as a competitive gaming headset. The RIG 500 PRO HX is a mid-range, wired headset engineered for premium, 3D sound through Dolby Atmos that retails for about $69.99. Though it was designed specifically for XBOX, it does say it’s compatible with Windows 10. Since NACON acquired RIG in March 2020, they’ve made slight changes to the original 500 PRO HX design, also now including “Designed for XBOX” on the packaging. The RIG brand was originally a division of Plantronics (now Poly). If not, you'll get a quality audio option for a reasonable price.RIG 500 PRO HX headset showing metal outer frame and inner headband. If that worries you, pass on this headset. Plantronics could have done a bit more to solve this issue during the manufacturing process. However, I'm not sure I'd want to give this headset to a youngster for that reason. As an adult, you shouldn't have an issue avoiding it. The chances of you sliding your finger in such a way as to actually cut yourself on the headband are probably pretty slim. It's lightweight, sports solid-feeling materials, has great sound quality, and the volume-limiting features are a nice touch, particularly for parents concerned about their kids' hearing. Until I noticed the sharp edges around the headband (and almost cut myself on it), I was prepared to fully recommend this headset. Someone, somewhere along the line in the design process for this headset really dropped the ball. The edges of the headband are literally sharp enough to cause papercut-style wounds, which is frankly a terrible design oversight, particularly in a product that boasts safety with its volume limiting features. Where the design really fails, however, is in how the plastic is cut. This is a gaming headset through and through.
This is compounded with the RIG 300 by the fact the microphone isn't detachable. I quite like them as a gaming headset, but I find the harsh angles and shapes the company uses eliminate their products as an option for outdoor use. Whether or not you like Plantronics' design conventions is a matter of taste at the end of the day.
