The Mixer
What I was attracted to this product is its mixer. I thought to myself, how about using it for my desktop audio production? Think about it: I can immerse myself in music making without missing any calls, which I could pick up and answer without removing my headphones.As it turns out, this is really an excellent solution for people who indulges in their audio world but needs to remain in contact over the mobile devices. The mixer lets you balance your 2 audio sources using 2 separate audio slides and one master volume. When you switch from one source to another, the audio level for both sources will change based on your setting, and your mic will work with the selected source.
The Headset
As for the headphone audio quality, the RIG produces sparkling treble, roomy bass, and laid-back mids. I would not recommend it for audio production because it is biased with brighter treble, but the great thing about the RIG is that you can plug your favourite headphones to the mixer. Okay, the mixer is no audiophile grade and produces audible noise hiss when you turn up the volume. Hey, who are we kidding? This is afterall a gaming headset!In terms of build quality, the RIG puts little effort. The headphone joints creak, the sound leak is extensive, the ear pads uses porous woven material, which offers minimal sound isolation.
