The 500 PRO HX could provide an otherworldly, immersive experience if the volume range weren’t so limited. I downloaded Dolby Atmos and followed the directions to ensure the headset was ready for action. Not being as loud but giving 3D game audio is a fantastic feature for some. However, this explains why they aren’t as loud as my other headset. The 500 PRO HX uses 50mm drivers, which typically produces superior stereo sound quality. The sound quality was okay without Dolby Atmos, but the volume was incredibly low. Hence, the reason they included a free 2-year subscription to Dolby Atmos. The 500 PRO HX does not have native surround sound. The 500 PRO HX Has Great Audio Quality But… And though it’s not required, you will need to use the gifted 2-year Dolby Access subscription to get the best audio experience this headset offers. The RIG 500 PRO HX, however, requires a two-way adapter or a controller to function properly on a PC. Most modern headsets are plug and play, whether they have USB connectivity or 3.5mm jack input. And, again, the headband didn’t pull on my hair when taking it off. Even with adjusting the headband, they felt almost like suction cups after about an hour. However, after a few minutes, they began to feel as if they were squeezing my head. The earcups fit very snuggly over my small ears. Like most gaming headsets, it has an inline volume control with a slider on its left earcup. 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.

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.

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.
