It’s the most I’ll ever pay for a headset so I hope it lasts many years, but they are certainly worth it. I just changed the ear cups over to wickid cushion ones (just standard nothing fancy) and that made it perfect. I only play Call of Duty and used to have the RIG 800Hx (if I remember correctly) when I was on Xbox (they’re alright), moved over to PC, saw one shop had the nova wireless pro for $500 (Aussie) and knew they usually sit around $750 so grabbed them and glad I did. Sound is just crisper and more in-depth, footsteps are easily heard and in what direction they are. Sonar is fun for playing with different presets. All in all, I’m glad I had the money when I did.
I went with the rig800hx I think the model is no complaints so far.
I run a set of rig 800 pro Hx with Dolby Atmos running. I can hear everything and they’re amazing with directional sound. Some of the best sounding drivers I’ve ever heard in a headset. The mic does leave a bit to be desired but it’s still very clear and crisp. But the sound quality of the drivers is where these really shine.
Might I suggest the rig 800 pro? Quite a bit cheaper than these options, and I love mine.
I have a Rig 800 that I've had for 11 years. It's very comfortable and sounds incredible.
Rig 800 also very good dolby atmos is really the best for gaming
I've got Rig 800's that are 5 years old. The down-side is that they aren't Bluetooth, so you have to live with a dongle, but they're pretty sturdy, and the frame could probably be replaced.
I really like my Rig 800.
