Plantronics, an audio pioneer and communications technology leader, recently announced the availability of its latest RIG family of gaming headphones, some featuring Dolby Atmos.
This special audio enhancement lets gamers hear sounds with three-dimensional clarity – from above and below, in front and behind – giving them increased advantage in nearly any gaming scenario. Dolby Atmos for Headphones activation is available with the Dolby Atmos editions of Plantronics RIG 400HX, RIG 600 and RIG 800LX, which was recently revealed to be a CES 2018 Innovation Award Honoree in the gaming category.
“I’ve never met a gamer who wasn’t looking for some sort of competitive edge,” said Gregory Morquin, Gaming Segment Manager at Plantronics. “Our newest RIG line with Dolby Atmos enables multi-directional, fully immersive audio cues like nothing else in the market today. Combine that with a long-lasting battery life and signature lightweight design, and the choice becomes obvious. If you want a true 360ᵒ competitive edge, Plantronics RIG with Dolby Atmos has you covered.” The new Dolby Atmos editions of RIG 400HX and RIG 600 and the award-winning RIG 800LX give gamers different headset options that all bring the heightened realism of Dolby Atmos for Headphones to life.
The new editions of RIG 400HX and RIG 600 feature Dolby Atmos for Headphone activation. RIG 400HX features 40 mm drivers which deliver explosive game audio that puts you right in the middle of the action. The noise-cancelling boom mic is always ready for chat and ensures your teammates hear you loud and clear.
RIG 600 delivers a balanced soundstage with distortion-free bass that helps you immerse in the experience without masking the subtle audio cues you must hear to stay in the game. RIG 800 series provides gamers with full, 3-D audio by changing the way developers treat sound in-game. Instead of placing audio in a flattened 2D circle, Dolby Atmos technology creates a full sphere of sound that moves around the gamer – above and below, in front and behind.
Dolby Atmos® requires an Xbox One or Windows 10 compatible device, and a Microsoft account and login. Activation for one device only.
