The RIG 800 PRO HX wireless gaming headset is down to $99.00 at Amazon, a 40 percent cut from its $164.99 list price. That price sits in the open buy box, so it is not gated behind Prime.
The two letters in the middle of the name matter more than the saving. HX is RIG's Xbox build, and RIG's own support page says it will not work on a PlayStation console.
The $99.00 covers the headset and the multi-function charging base station that ships with it. Amazon.com holds the buy box directly, and the listing shows the unit in stock at the time of writing.
That dock is the part worth paying for at this price. It stores the headset, recharges it and hosts the 2.4GHz wireless adapter in one piece of hardware, according to RIG's product page.
The HX in the name means Xbox, and only Xbox
RIG's compatibility field for this model reads XBOX Series/XBOX One/Windows. Amazon's compatible-devices row agrees, listing Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Xbox One X and Windows 10 or 11 PCs.
RIG's support answer on the same product page is blunter. It says circuitry differences between Xbox and PlayStation consoles make the headset incompatible with PlayStation, and names PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S as the platforms it does serve.
RIG sells the same body in two other versions. The 800 PRO HS is the PlayStation model, and the 800 PRO HD is the PC model, with RIG listing its compatibility as just Windows.
Some of the confusion comes from the listing itself. One of its marketing panels reads "officially licensed for Xbox and compatible with PlayStation and PC", which contradicts RIG's own spec page and support answer.
The bundled adapter is a USB stick that speaks 2.4GHz RF to the headset and nothing else. Neither RIG nor Amazon describes Bluetooth or a 3.5mm input on this model.
That leaves no fallback on an unsupported console. Xbox owners also lost the old controller headset jack on newer pads, as covered when Microsoft removed the legacy headset port.

Where the listing and RIG's spec page disagree
Amazon's listing claims up to 60 hours of wireless audio per charge and repeats that figure in the product title. RIG's own spec table says 24 hours.
RIG lists 24 hours for the PC sibling as well, so the lower number is not a slip on one page. The 24-hour figure is the manufacturer's.
The same pattern repeats on connectivity. Amazon's spec rows claim Bluetooth 5 and a 30-foot Bluetooth range, while RIG describes no Bluetooth at all on this headset.
RIG does build dual-wireless headsets and labels them as such, the 600 PRO HX among them. The 800 PRO HX is not one of them.
Dolby Atmos for Headphones is included rather than sold separately, and RIG lists it as a specification. Switching it on still needs the Dolby Access app and a Microsoft account, the same route used to enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones in Windows 11.
How $99.00 compares with other wireless headsets
Each price below was checked in the Amazon buy box on October 5, 2026, with Amazon.com listed as the seller in every case.
| Headset | Price | Platforms per the listing |
|---|---|---|
| RIG 800 PRO HX | $99.00, from $164.99 | Xbox and Windows, with charging dock |
| RIG 600 PRO HX | $74.99, from $99.99 | Xbox, Windows, Switch, Android, iOS |
| Turtle Beach Stealth 600 | $109.99 | Xbox, PS5, PC, mobile |
| Turtle Beach Stealth 700 | $159.99, from $199.99 | Xbox, PS5, PC, mobile |
The RIG 600 PRO HX is the awkward one. It costs $24.01 less, adds Bluetooth 5.1 alongside the 2.4GHz link, and RIG rates it for Switch, Android and iOS as well.
What it gives up is the dock. RIG's own store lists it at $99.90, so the Amazon price on the cheaper model is the deeper cut of the two.
The 600 PRO HX is still not a PlayStation headset, since the HX letters carry the same meaning there. Buyers who want one headset for both consoles should look at a multi-device model built for that job instead.
Both Turtle Beach models are titled for Xbox, PS5, PC and mobile, and both cost more than the RIG. Anyone shopping below $99.00 has cheaper wireless options, including budget sets that cover the basics.
What the listing leaves out
RIG calls the connection lag-free and guaranteed lag-free, but publishes no latency figure in milliseconds. The 24-hour battery rating arrives with no stated volume level, microphone state or test method.
RIG publishes no weight for the headset either, describing only an ultra-light frame. The 10.9-ounce figure in the table comes from Amazon's own measurements row, not from RIG.
Neither page says how long the bundled Dolby Atmos entitlement lasts, and neither uses the word trial. The listing also carries no countdown and no limited-time badge, so the life of the $99.00 price is not published.
RIG's own store wants $164.90 for the same headset and currently marks it as back soon, which is the clearest measure of what the Amazon price is worth. Prices and stock can change at any time.
