RIG's new HX gaming headsets look great, feel phenomenal, and sound ho-hum

RIG’s gaming headphones may have been around for a long time, but they’re new to me. I’ve never had an opportunity to try a pair before. Now that the company is owned by Nacon, however, I was sent over not one but two pairs—the RIG 700 Pro HX and 500 Pro HX Gen 2—to hear what all the hub-bub is about.First impressions? Both feel extremely comfortable and feature the striking looks that RIG is known for, though the sound quality is average at best. But while the two headsets hold some similarities in both look and sound performance, there’s still plenty that sets them apart from each other.
