Plantronics’ new RIG 500 headset series designed for Esports, available in August

Plantronics yesterday introduced its RIG 500 Series of PC gaming headsets “engineered specifically for the intensity of e-sports.”

The 500 Series system sounds pretty hi-tech, including “components such as vented-air and sound-isolating ear cups, several colours of headbands, mobile stereo cables, a digital USB adapter with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound, and 24-bit audio support,” Plantronics confirmed.

“Plantronics worked closely with competitive gamers to develop the RIG 500 Series of PC gaming headsets, and like any precision equipment designed for competition, details matter,” said Jack Reynolds, Director, Gaming Products, Plantronics.

“The RIG 500 Series is a unique family of e-sports audio gear that can give an edge to pros and hopefuls through its ultra-light comfort and reliability, which is essential for long hours of dedicated practice, and our signature Plantronics audio, which is tuned especially for immersive gaming and clear communication.”

The RIG 500 Series headsets will be available worldwide beginning in August 2015.
