In fact, it actually takes a considerable amount of deliberate shaking to dislodge it. Meanwhile, the adjustable headband (also inherited from the 500) still allows the headset to sit gently on one’s skull for countless hours without discomfort, while the “near-indestructible” yet feather-light frame provides adequate clamping force to keep the headset securely on the wearer’s head.

Most notably, the handy and flexible flip-to-mute mic from the 500 Pro HX (a feature that its big brother, the 700 Pro HX lacked) is now present, making the act of muting or unmuting one’s voice and repositioning the microphone a snap. That said, with the previously mentioned 500 and 700 Pro HX models as my closest in-the-flesh comparison points, I’m pleased to see that Nacon chose to incorporate the best build elements of both of those products into its flagship line. To refer to the 800 Pro HX as a “wholesale re-skin” of its LX predecessor might sound a bit blunt, but it’s certainly not wrong as the headsets are literally identical in finish and form factor.

It’s also the first RIG headset built for Xbox to come packaged with an optional dock, which I’ll get into a bit later.

The important thing to know for those keeping score is that the 800 Pro HX has ditched the LX’s clunky, wired Wi-Fi box for a USB-stick-style solution, similar to what the 700 Pro HX had. It also bears a great deal in common with the 700 Pro HX that we featured on our site around a year ago in a head-to-head against its wired counterpart, the 500 Pro HX. Nacon’s RIG 800 Pro HX, its latest flagship wireless headset for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, is the official follow-up to last year’s 800 Pro LX model.
