Overview
- The R8 Spectre Pro headset, which went on sale Friday in the U.S., is priced at $179.99, with Australia slated for May and Europe later this year.
- Sold in HS (PS5) and HX (Xbox) versions, it supports simultaneous connections over 2.4 GHz for gaming plus Bluetooth for calls or mobile audio.
- Users can switch across up to four devices by adding USB-C receivers sold separately at about $24.99 each, which can push the overall price higher.
- Reviews confirm up to 60 hours of battery life and a magnetized desktop charger with pass-through, and hands-on coverage reports a removable battery inside one earcup.
- RIG uses 40mm graphene-coated drivers tuned for directional cues with PS5 3D Audio and Xbox Dolby Atmos, and its SNAP+LOCK design allows swap-out cushions and faceplates with 3D-printable plate files reported.
