We are proud to reveal our custom line of ESL-branded esports headsets at the ESL Arena during this year’s gamescom with the Plantronics RIG 500e gaming headset - a one-of-a-kind competitive-gaming headset designed to fulfill all your esports needs.
Jack Reynolds, director of gaming products at Plantronics, had the following to say about the new series of competitive gaming headsets:

The RIG 500 Series is a unique family of esports audio gear that can give an edge to pros and hopefuls through its ultra-light comfort and reliability, which is essential for long hours of dedicated practice, and our signature Plantronics audio, which is tuned especially for immersive gaming and clear communication.”
