![]() ![]() The cable's just too short to play comfortably with any of them unless you keep the mixer on your lap (or strap it to your arm while you play). It should work similarly well with the Wii U gamepad's headphone jack, and with the Xbox One with Microsoft's optional wired headset adapter. The RIG Surround is designed to work with PCs, smartphones, and tablets, but it worked perfectly as a wired headset with my PlayStation 4 when I plugged it into my DualShock 4 controller. ![]() As it is, the RIG Surround doesn't technically support game consoles like the RIG did, at least out of the box. The original RIG had the same connected cables, but it was a little more flexible with sound sources thanks to an included stereo RCA adapter. This is unfortunate, since the 3.5mm connection opens up possibilities for devices not necessarily supported, and would also benefit from the option of a longer cable. Both are permanently attached to the mixer, so you can't switch out cables of different sizes. SetupThe mixer connects to your computer or compatible game console with a long USB cable, and to your smartphone or tablet through a shorter, 1.5-foot 3.5mm cable. Three small buttons below the large switch can answer and hang up from phone calls, mute the mic, and switch between three equalizer presets. A small lever on the left mixes the audio between the phone and PC, and a similar lever on the right mixes a PC's game sounds and chat sounds. A flat switch flips the mic between phone and PC connections, letting you easily jump between gaming and taking calls. ![]() The large, ridged knob itself serves as the main volume control, with an LED ring inside it showing the current volume level. The mixer is a circular plastic knob that sits on your desk and controls nearly all of the headset's functions. It feels comfortable, and can be worn easily for long periods of time. The headset is a simple pair of over-ear headphones with well-padded earpads and headband, and a flexible boom mic connected to the wire that plugs into the left earcup. It's still a two-part device with a headset that connects to a wired mixing hub, which then connects to both your computer and phone. This week is Education Week, first started in 1921 to boost the American literacy rate, but now more to celebrate education and educators, and to point out areas that need improvement.The IT field generally recognizes that the best education doesn't alway.DesignThe RIG Surround looks and feels almost identical to the original Rig, but with a simpler connection process.
