The RIG 600 PRO HX

We’ve big fans of a RIG headset, having stuck them on our heads for a good few years. But very soon there will be another option as NACON announce the new RIG 600 PRO Series headset. 

The RIG 600 PRO will be a new line for NACON. And as the name suggests, we’re expecting this one to sit between the RIG 500, RIG 700 and RIG 800 ranges. 

A new RIG range

The RIG 600 PRO will come in a couple of flavours. There will be the 600 PRO HS for PlayStation gamers. And there will be the RIG 600 PRO HX, officially licensed for Xbox. Both options will be seen as the first RIG dual wireless headset, allowing players to utilise both wireless technology and Bluetooth capabilities. 

No matter which of the 600 PRO headsets you grab, you’ll find best-in-class low-latency 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth included. This should mean – and NACON hope it’ll mean – that the 600 PRO is the ultimate choice to game wirelessly on all your favourite devices. You’ll find them working across, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mobile.

What else is there? Well, the 600 PRO will excel in performance, boasting a chat-optimized microphone that discreetly folds into the earcup when not in use. That will be found complete with an integrated flip-to-mute function to further enhance versatility. And thanks to the dual capabilities, gamers will be able to take calls and communicate with their squad seamlessly.

Nacon to provide core gaming needs

“Almost 50% of gamers worldwide play on multiple platforms, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down.* Inspired by this, we set out to deliver a product that can be the core for all their game audio needs,” said NACON Global Business Director, Gregory Morquin. “The 600 PRO delivers exceptional performance and versatility while providing gamers with unparalleled value.”

But there’s even more than that too and you should expect all of the following…

DUAL-MODE WIRELESS

Get a competitive edge with best-in-class low-latency wireless using the USB-C wireless adapter or connect with Bluetooth for mobile gaming. Choose between Game, Bluetooth or Dual Mode, which keeps you connected to your game audio via the 2.4GHz dongle and lets you switch seamlessly to answer phone calls and receive notifications.

UNMATCHED AUDIO

Experience legendary audio quality. Equipped with 40mm headset drivers enclosed in a tuned acoustic chamber, the RIG 600 PRO delivers impressively balanced game audio. Bass-boosted high-sensitivity drivers provide more volume with less distortion. With an advanced acoustic design, the 600 PRO improves listening quality and reduces audio fatigue, making it the perfect choice for intense sessions or all-day gaming.
