In late 2023, I offered a review for NACON's RIG 900 MAX HX headset. It was, and still is, a really nice headset that I still actively use today. It was designed for Xbox, PC, and mobile, but could still be used with a PlayStation.
Today's release is officially licensed for PlayStation 5. How exactly this model differs from the HX model is not exactly clear to me. I do not know what being officially licensed for PlayStation 5 offers because the HX model worked quite nicely with my PS5. Maybe this HS model doesn't require the dongle to be plugged into a PS5 USB slot in order to pair with the console. I'm not really sure.
Still, it's a new model and it's available now. It's not yet appearing on NACON's own website though, but maybe soon! Also keep an eye on Amazon in case it appears there first.
Today's release is called the RIG 900 MAX HS. It still features 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.2 support. It still includes a charging base, dual-mode support, and the same 40mm "bass-boosted, high-sensitivity drivers." It also includes the same 50-60 hour long battery life. One thing I don't see mentioned by NACON is support for Dolby Atmos, which is supported on the HX model.
