Apart from its packaging and the fact that it bears the PlayStation brand, the RIG 800HS is perfectly identical to the RIG 800HD: we therefore invite you to refer to the latter’s test to find out our opinion on this excellent headset. gaming wireless. Perfectly identical, or almost, since this PlayStation version does not include a code to obtain Dolby Atmos for Headphones on the Windows Store… and is sold at a higher recommended price of €20. Unless you find this RIG 800HS on sale, we therefore strongly advise you to turn instead to the RIG 800HD, which can be used without the slightest problem with a PS4.
