NACON Unveils High-End RIG 900 MAX HX Gaming Headset, Featuring Dolby Atmos
NACON, a widely popular player in the headset industry, has unveiled its new RIG 900 MAX HX headsets, featuring cutting-edge specifications and capabilities.
For those unaware, NACON is a parent of the famous audio company RIG, which specializes in headsets for every gaming platform. They have unveiled several competitive products in the past, such as the RIG 800 PRO, but the company is going one step further here, giving consumers the option of having every high-end feature in the audiophile industry integrated into a single package.
Starting with the distinctive addition, the RIG 900 MAX HX will become the industry’s first gaming headset to support a “personalized” Dolby Atmos experience. The Dolby Personalization app scans the shape of the user’s ears, head, and shoulders, hence creating an acoustic map tailored specifically for that person. The promised result is a rich 3D soundscape that provides depth and dimension and allows the player to accurately pinpoint where the sounds are coming from.
Moving on to the technical bits, the RIG 900 MAX HX low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connection along with Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity gives you the option of a “dual channel” communication however you like. The company advertises up to 50 to 60 hours of battery life with its blazing-fast wireless connectivity, which is impressive given the features you are getting onboard.
The aspect of comfort is any headset is as important as its audio output, and the RIG 900 MAX HX brings in no compromise in this department. Weighing 295 grams, the headsets are equipped with “SNAP-FIT” breathable earcups, allowing a seamless gaming experience without the need of wiping off your sweat.
The headset supports the 900 MAX Navigator app available on iOS/Android, which allows consumers to pre-set equalizer options, adjust mic sensitivity, and even do a diagnostic of their headset in case of malfunction. That application is set to drop by mid-September.
Regarding pricing and availability, the RIG 900 MAX HX is currently available for $249.99 on the company’s official website as well as exclusively on Best Buy.
