The RIG R5 Spear Pro HS headset has launched exclusively at Best Buy at an intriguing time, as it marks the second brand-new wired headset I've tested in the last few weeks. Wired connections aren't new in the world of gaming headsets by any means, but it's intriguing nonetheless that the Turtle Beach Atlas 200 for PS5 and the RIG R5 Pro HS released in close succession, and both are designed to introduce a premium sound without a premium price.
With price increases sweeping across the Sony gaming landscape, I'm very fond of this trend. Honestly, the more affordable high-quality PS5 headsets the better, and the RIG R5 Spear Pro HS is definitely full of quality. The $69.99 / £69.90 wired headset musters up a great sound with its dynamic 40 mm Graphene-coated drivers, which produce evenly-leveled audio without driving up the cost. The official PS5 cups also add a unique bit of customization, which sets them apart from Turtle Beach's official wired pair.
