The plastic here is very smooth with no texturing at all, giving a very clean, minimalistic feel to it. Most of the headset is made of plastic in a matte black, though part of it is also finished off in glossy black as a contrasting accent. The unit I received is black with orange accents. What you get in the box is the actual RIG headset, the custom mixer unit, two sets of mic cables, and a couple other miscellaneous cables that I’ll get to later. The Plantronics RIG Gaming Headset is a universal gaming headset that works for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. What’s a gamer to do? Well, you could always go and check out Plantronics new RIG Gaming Headset with integrated Custom Mixer that solves this problem quite cleverly. That means you could be in deep gaming mode and not notice that your phone has gone off about 5 times with someone calling you about an emergency or notification that should have been heard and checked, but wasn’t. Even cheap stereo headsets provide better audio than just using your television speakers, but having all that audio pumped directly into your ears also means that you are oblivious to real world sounds that are occurring around you. The days of playing games without a headset are pretty much over as television speakers just can’t beat the type of immersion you get wearing a good set of gaming headphones. Gaming these days almost requires you to wear a dedicated headset for not just audio chat, but also game audio.
