RIG Launches $149 R5 Max HD PC Headset With Graphene Drivers and USB-C DAC

Parent company Nacon’s insolvency filing now raises short-term questions about product support.

Overview

  • The wired headset is on sale in the U.S. for $149.99 through RIG’s Amazon store.
  • 40mm GrapheneQ drivers developed with Ora are advertised to deliver under 0.3% harmonic distortion for clearer positional cues.
  • The included external USB-C DAC supports up to 32-bit/384 kHz audio, enables Dolby Atmos for Headphones on Windows and Xbox, and adds USB-C power passthrough plus an auxiliary input for mixing a second source.
  • RIG’s SNAP+LOCK modular system offers magnetic Mod-Plates, a boom mic that mounts on either ear, replaceable ear pads, and STL files for 3D-printed customization.
  • The debut follows Nacon’s insolvency announcement one day after the briefing, which RIG acknowledged without detailing operational continuity.
