Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX Specifications

Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX review: Design and Features

The Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX looks like a simple gaming headset that doesn’t try to do too much. It comes in any colour you want, as long as it’s black, and is almost entirely made of plastic, except for some padding on the headband and earcups. At first, the plastic felt a little bit flimsy, but after wearing the headset for a few hours, we our sure it’s both comfortable and strong enough to wear for a long time.

On the left earcup is a boom microphone that turns off automatically when you swing it all the way up. This makes it easy to know when your mic is live and when it’s muted. The microphone isn’t removable, but it can be bent, so you can move it around to find the best spot for your voice. You can get this headphone from its official website.

Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX review: Comfort

The cups of the headset are the opposite of what we said. In comparison, these are great. They are well-padded and have a soft coating, so they are very comfortable. The self-adjusting headband is also made of soft mesh, so the headset will rest softly on your head. The RIG 800 Pro is so comfortable that it makes it a joy to play games for longer periods of time. We never felt like we needed to take a break and take the headset off.

Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX review: Sound quality

The Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX headset will be mostly the same. It will have almost the same features and quality of construction, but it will be run by a new parent company. The Rig 800 Pro series from Nacon has a base station that makes it easy to dock and charge your headphones after use. The sound quality and comfort are still the same as you’ve come to expect over the years.

Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX review: Gaming

Even though the Rig 800 Pro HX may not have the best design, it makes up for it in sound quality. It has 40mm audio drivers and bass enhancers so that all of your games will have great 3D sound.

Adjusting the earcup height before wearing isn’t the most elegant process because you have to literally pop each side out of the frame and snap it into one of the three available slots, but once we got it right, the headset fit snugly on top of my head thanks to the elastic headband.

Nacon Rig 800 Pro HX review: Price and availability

The RIG 800 Pro can be bought right now from the official Nacon online store for $149, £199, or AU$299. Even though you get a much better deal if you live in the US, the headset is still worth the price because it has a lot of good features.

Final Words

The design of Nacon’s Rig 800 Pro HX headset is familiar, if not a little bit old-fashioned. It has great sound quality and is comfortable enough to use for long gaming sessions. Dolby Atmos support for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC gives you the best 3D audio for games that support it, and a new charging base makes it easy to store and charge your headset when you’re done playing.
