Hardware review: Plantronics Rig Gaming Headset

Review by Matt S. 

The idea that headsets need to have dedicated purposes (enterprise work, listening to music, gaming), has always struck me as a little strange. Why not just release the one product that has a feature set that can appeal to everyone? Is it really that difficult to make a headset that can be used on mobile devices when out and about, on consoles, on PCs and for more serious work?

Apparently so, because it's taken until the Rig for me to find a product that actually works across all those functions. See, the Rig comes with a little hub thing that hooks up to consoles or their PC, and through that hub players have all kinds of options for the way they'd like to play.
