Setup
Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge your RIG 800 PRO HS headset. Place the headset onto the multi-function charging base station. Ensure the headset is properly seated for charging. The base station can be powered via the included USB-A to USB-C charge cable connected to a USB power source (e.g., console, PC, or USB wall adapter). A full charge provides up to 24 hours of wireless audio.
Connecting to Your Device
The RIG 800 PRO HS uses a dedicated 2.4GHz RF digital wireless transmitter for a secure, lag-free connection.
- Using the Multi-Function Base Station:
- Connect the multi-function base station to your PlayStation (PS4/PS5), PC, or Mac using the USB-A wireless transmitter. The transmitter plugs into a USB port on your device.
- The base station provides both wireless connection and convenient charging for your headset.
- Direct Connection (without base station):
- The removable USB wireless adapter can also be plugged directly into a USB port on your PS4, PS5 console, PC, or laptop. This allows the base station to be placed anywhere for charging convenience, independent of the active connection.
Once connected, power on your headset. The headset and transmitter should automatically pair. If pairing does not occur, refer to the troubleshooting section.
Operating Instructions
Headset Controls
The RIG 800 PRO HS features intuitive on-ear controls for quick adjustments during gameplay.
- Volume Control: Use the dedicated volume wheel on the earcup to adjust the overall audio level.
- Mic Monitoring (Sidetone): Adjust the level of your own voice heard through the headset using the mic monitoring control. This helps prevent shouting.
- Flip-to-Mute Microphone: The pro-grade flexible noise-cancelling microphone can be flipped up to instantly mute your voice. Flip it down to unmute. For optimal mic performance, ensure the "CHAT" on the microphone tip points towards your mouth.
Audio Performance
The headset is equipped with 40 mm, high-sensitivity speaker drivers and low frequency resonators that reinforce bass and reduce distortion. It is precisely tuned for gaming audio and optimized for PlayStation Tempest 3D Audio, providing immersive spatial audio that allows you to detect the distance and direction of in-game threats more accurately.
Comfort and Fit
The RIG 800 PRO HS features a signature self-adjusting headband strap and an innovative Snap-Fit S/M/L size adjustment system. This allows for a perfect and comfortable fit for extended gaming sessions. The sound-isolating earcups are designed to block external noise, keeping you focused on your game.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain your headset's condition, gently wipe the earcups and headband with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the headset is dry before charging or storing.
