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.

Cartesian product par excellence, the Logitech G435 shows all the qualities expected of a headset gaming entry-level wireless: a very simple but satisfying design, a hassle-free user experience, lastly — and above all — more than decent performance, both in terms of the speakers and the microphone. Above all, the versatility brought by the dual radio connectivity via USB/Bluetooth is a very pleasant bonus. In particular, it forms a very attractive pair with the Nintendo Switch, thanks to its very low streaming latency.
