- Nacon unveils RIG R5 Pro HS wired gaming headset
- Compatible with PS5, PS4, PC and other devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack
- It launches on October 10 (November 1 for the US) at $69.99 / £69.99.
Gaming brand Nacon has announced the RIG R5 Pro HS, a wired gaming headset compatible primarily with PS5, PS4, and PC. Although its 3.5mm connectivity means it also works on devices like the Nintendo Switch 2.
The headset will be available for purchase from October 10, 2025 in the UK and Europe, priced competitively at $69.99 / £69.99. Americans will have to wait a little longer, until November 1, when it will be exclusive to big box retailer Best Buy.
The R5 Pro HS features plush earcups for comfortable gaming sessions, while maintaining the RIG’s remarkable durability. I have currently tested the headset myself for review purposes and find the build quality to be comparable to previous models like the RIG 900 Max HS. Impressive, considering the limit price of this headset.
You can also expect 40mm graphene audio drivers on the R5 Pro HS, allowing for minimal distortion and increased 3D audio precision. It supports Dolby Atmos as well as PlayStation’s Tempest 3D audio. After connecting the headset to my DualSense and playing Yotei’s Ghost with it, it adds a lot to the experience, with incredibly crisp and detailed sound.
One of the standout features of the headset, especially if you’re concerned about aesthetics, are the replaceable R5 mod plates, which magnetically snap onto the earcups. A pair of PlayStation-branded mod plates are included in the box, but other models – like a stylish pair themed to the EVO fighting game tournament – are sold separately.
I will have a full written review of the RIG R5 Pro HS coming soon. But so far my tests have been largely positive. Definitely keep an eye on this one if you’re in the market for a new gaming audio solution, as it might just be one of the best PS5 headsets for those on more modest budgets.
