The Nacon RIG 600 Pro HS has been developed for multi-platform gamers who have a limited budget. While it may not be the cheapest option in the market, it is a step up in terms of the features it offers, along with the audio quality.
Design and Features
The first thing you will learn about the Nacon RIG 600 Pro HS is that the headset offers you dual connectivity. You will find Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity and a 2.4GHz USB-C wireless adaptor. This means you can connect your smartphone, PC and your gaming console simultaneously. You also get solid battery life, with Bluetooth connectivity offering you more than 24 hours, while the USB-C wireless adapter offers you more than 18 hours. However, dual mode gives you just 10 hours.

There is discreet RIG branding on each earcup, making it obvious that this headset is designed for gamers. The mechanism for adjusting the headset is also solid and you can choose from three options. The headset is also not too heavy, given that it weighs 240g and the headband and earcups have mesh fabric, which makes it comfortable.
On the left earcup, you will find a mode switch button that you can use to jump between Game, Bluetooth and Dual modes. There is a multifunctional button in the middle that lets you play/pause and more. There is also a physical dial for controlling volume and a smaller button for controlling power.

You will find that noise-cancellation is built-in, which cannot be disabled. However, it works quite well in most environments. Some people might find it annoying that the microphone position is fixed, but it works well most of the time.
The RIG 600 Pro also comes with a foldable mic instead of a detachable one. The best part is that it can be completely hidden inside the left earcup when you are not using it. But, since it a short and fixed position arm. You may not be able to adjust it as per your preference. It will be muted automatically when you fold it and the app also lets you use a monitoring feature to hear your voice.
