For Packaging:
Packaging is acting and is very high quality, and increases the tension on the headset inside.
Cardboard is very "thick", and there is a foldable cardboard / film windows through which one sees the headset ever, which can be sealed again with Velcro.
Usually, the key features are listed on the package, and there are a lot of colorful pictures.
Overall, everything looks very high.
So "ripped" the thing, and brought out!
Scope of supply:
Headset
-mixer
-Mikro With jack
and many other Cables & Adapters for connection to PC / Xbox / PS.
As far as I've now read, the new consoles, so the One and PS4, support.
Processing Headset / cable / Mixer:
The first outer impression is confirmed (for me anyway), and the headset feels very good, and also looks very stylish.
Processing is very high quality, were used apparently quality plastics.
The pads are soft, but have a good resistance.
Selbige are not, as with many other headsets, covered with imitation leather, which indeed mostly crumbled after a few months and dissolves.
I (large head / ears) it can easily carry several hours while gambling, without which I great earache bekomme.Obwohl ears are not enclosed, and rest the speaker only on the ears.
The Mixer:
The mixer is very "solid", and also good verarbeitet.Er is relative difficult, and has large rubber feet, so he does not slip too easily, unless of course you pull on the cables ;-)
All switches and controls work well and explain almost without saying.
What me a bit "interfere" is, which is highly polished the large central toggle switch, and you quickly fingerprints sieht.Andersherum would be a matter, however, probably also stupid, so a matter of opinion.
The cables :
The cables are up to the USB cable of the mixer, very thin and mainly are flach.Auch the "flat cable" all dull, not as usual smooth and glossy.
My initial skepticism, probably not keep this thin cable long was unfounded.
I use the headset now almost every day for over 2 months, and everything still works 1a.
My impressions of the sound, use, etc:
Sonically, I find the RIG very good.
For listening to music, I use normally a Beyer Dynamics DT 990, which indeed heard more likely to be better in headphones.
That's why I know what sounds good.
The RIG will of course not -ganz- zoom, sounds for a gaming headset but very good.
Across all sectors, it sounds very good, the highs are like Bäasse very neat.
It's fun to play with it anyway, or sometimes to listen to music.
With the normal phone cable, it can also easily as normal headphones without using the microphone, and eg take Outside, large headphones're now back in fashion)
The hightlight Actually, yes, but is only now:
-The MIXER!
A really cool idea that you had there at Plantronics.
After all, you can actually feed just about any source xbeliebige -with Klinkenanschluss-.
Then you have on one side of the mixer to the Games / PC / console sound, and on the other the fed, for example, music from the mobile phone.
Each of these sources can be individually adjusted in the volume, and then again through a Global Master Controller!
People who only have one monitor, and play, so often have to get out / reintabben to switch music, adjust volume, etc.
This can be done through the mixer, the rIsK zumindest.Wer another song, now wants but does not have to pause and raustabben but just simply the mobile / smartphone one "Fan".
Very nice!
And when the phone will ring, you turn by a large rocker switch on the blender on "mobile", and the games sound, just or the PC / console "page" is muted, and you can hear nurnoch the "Mobile site".
Then change again, and you can hear again beides.Ebenfalls nice.
Moreover, there still a button to mute the microphone, which is signaled by a red light.
And, last but not least, there is also an equalizer which programiert 3 Klangbilder hat.Eines which raises ever the treble / bass, and one which all boosts a bit.
Or just "normal".
Since I've already also equal to a proposal for the Rig # 2
Namely to integrate into the blender a small display that the% entuale distribution displays (eg 30-70, mobile PC sound; overall volume level, which is the equalizer presets is active; micro on / off ...)
For use with consoles I can not say anything, yes I use it only on the PC, or outside.
However, it is for all consoles diverse cable & adapter included, and, for each scenario is a simple diagram available as you connect it.
Bottom line, I can say that his money is worth this headset / headphones, although it is slightly more expensive.
Processing and sound are very good.
And the story of the mixer is far too unique.
I highly recommend this unit highly.
