Just a couple of week ago the Nacon and RIG teams announced a new mid-range headset – the RIG 600 PRO. But now they are going all-out with a further top-end headset and whole new line. Are you ready to welcome in the RIG 900 MAX HX for Xbox?
Signalling the pinnacle of wireless game audio, the RIG 900 MAX HX is fully licensed for Xbox, as Nacon and RIG step up from their 800 Pro HX to deliver something even more special to the masses. This one comes with some new-to-market Dolby Personalized Audio, dual wireless connectivity with Bluetooth and a charging base.
Personalized Dolby Atmos?
So what’s super special about this one? Well, the 900 MAX is the first gaming headset to feature a customized 3D audio experience. It does that with Dolby Atmos Headphone Personalization. You see, standard headphone surround experiences are designed using generic head and body types, failing to consider the natural diversity of the human body. Dolby Atmos Personalized Audio is different, utilising your phone and the Dolby Personalization App to build a tailored acoustic map from a detailed analysis of your ears, head and shoulders. As you’d expect to hear, that is then capable of creating an exceptional immersive experience.
“Innovation is born from understanding the demands of gamers,” said NACON Head of Development for RIG, Jack Reynolds. “The 900 MAX embodies our commitment to crafting a definitive gaming headset that delivers exceptional wireless performance across all their devices and tailors the audio experience to each player.”
But there’a more and this headset offers further features. It comes boasting phenomenal connectivity with low-latency 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.1. What does that mean? Well, the 900 MAX HX lets you connect wirelessly to all your gaming devices, including Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mobile.
Need a summary of all that? Thankfully NACON have fully detailed the RIG 900 MAX HX features and specs. Get your eyes on all of the following.

Low-latency 2.4GHz connection via USB wireless adapter gives you a competitive edge, while Bluetooth 5.1 allows you to game on the go with platforms like Nintendo Switch—cycle between Game, Bluetooth, or Dual-Mode, ensuring no interruptions when you are in the zone.
PERSONALIZED DOLBY ATMOS 3D AUDIO
Customize your Dolby Atmos 3D audio experience with the revolutionary Dolby Personalization app. Scanning the shape of your head, ears, and shoulders, the app creates a unique acoustic map to produce a more accurate Dolby Atmos experience tailored just for you.
