With regard to design, the RIG 700 appears to the predecessors to be a small development, although it can be confused with this. They also arrive with the same sophisticated frequency knob, which enables simple command of sound when connected to a power unit.
“The new RIG 700 Series offers gamers the best experience with durable, ultra-light design and long battery life,” said Peter Petrides, Plantronics Director of Gaming APAC.
Petrides says, “We listen to and strive to keep delivering the gaming community. This applies to Xbox One (HX), Playstation 4 (HS), and the PC (HD), respectively. Windows Sonic surround-sound features the RIG 700 HX and HD, to boost audio playback.
A lasting, accurate and ultra-lightweight wireless playing experience is provided by the newest addition to the RIG gaming line. The RIG 700 Series can withstand a whole night raid or those intensive competitive game sessions for a maximum of 12 hours of battery life. The RIG 700 series is now accessible for Windows PC (HD), Xbox One (HX), and PlayStation (HS).
The Windows Sonic surround sound version of RIG 700 HX and HD boosts game audio as designers wish–giving them a competitive edge. Corey Rosemond, Global Director, marketing and business development at Poly said: “Comfort lightweight and the wireless layout are two must-haves we constantly learn from gamers in their favorite game headsets.” RIG 700 Series does not only answer the call, but it brings competitive gamers the accuracy they desire and the endurance they need to retrieve their gains in the gameplay.”
Main Characteristics
RIG 700HX delivers audio in the form that designers intended to hear. AUDIO PRECISION. 40 mm high-sensitiveness conductors with bass pipes provide tight, strong noise for clean, high-frequency precision with large bass layered mid-range.
SO GOOD
A lightweight gaming headset on the market. SO GOOD. The RIG 700HX’s modular construction means greater durability and lower weight, which means that it takes hours to play without stress. Dual-fabric earcups isolate your comfort outside of noise.
CHOOSE WHAT YOU HEAR
Never choose to “too long” and “too silent.” The audio-control panel RIG 700HX enables you to discover the ideal equilibrium for your play type immediately. Take care in the game, where it’s important.
CAPTIVATING SOUND
Windows Sonic surround sound means that you are in action rather than hearing what you are doing. In every respect, the RIG 700HX provides audio, so that you never miss a cue, command, or comment.

Design
The earmuffs of the headset are broad and well-packed and go around the ears. As well as rendering is concerned, it guarantees that less internal noise is introduced and distracts you from intervention on the display. Though the cans aren’t effective sound cancellations, our general sound insulation, muffling irritating internal noises such as dog barking and door shutting, has been fairly impressive to us.
The RIG 700HX button is included in the right earcup. These are large and sloppy, rendering adjusting the configurations easier without deleting. A button and another, which can change the equilibrium between match and talk sound, is also available in relation to the usual frequency and energy regulate switches.
Lightweight: The RIG 700 is currently the lightest wireless RIG headset but it is not permanent. The firm has told us that the day and the sound lag is convenient.
Battery: The RIG 700 has a wireless battery and requires a powerful battery. Fortunately, they can manage a single fee for up to 12 hours.
Controls: The system is supported by Windows Sonic so that the 40 mm displays provide a vivid noise. RIG 700 has a wireless range of up to 30 feet.
Microphone: The headset includes a removable microphone for noise cancellation.
Final Words
The RIG 700HX Poly / Plantronics is a solid, sophisticated bit kit. It looks good, it’s cozy and it has a cracking mic.
We would really encourage you to find that out if you were a devoted gamer with money blasting a gap in your bag. We can also think that due to its conservative layout it is used in more official workplace settings.
That said, a few items have to be worried about. The first thing is a severe bummer, the absence of USB-C. We would also emphasize it’s not a traditional Bluetooth headset because it uses a separate hardware receiver so that your phone or tablet can’t easily match it.
Where you can find it?
You can find it at other retailers, while it isn’t presently accessible in Amazon. It is sold in the United Kingdom for £ 120, plus shipping.
American readers can choose one on Walmart, even if it is not currently presented on the company’s website at the time of writing. You could be easier off going for fortune.
You can take the RIG 500 Pro from Amazon for a tremendous 80$ for a smaller variant if you’re searching for a better variant. We tested this model ourselves for what it is worth. Performance-sensitive, there is a good amount of overlap and with this old model also many of our comments on the RIG 700 HX (especially concerning noise performance).
