The New Nacon Rig R5 Spear Pro HS Turns Every PS5 Game into a Cinematic Sound Experience
Nacon’s Rig R5 Spear Pro HS brings graphene audio drivers, Tempest 3D support, and magnetic customization to PS5.
Nacon has just dropped a new wired gaming headset built for PlayStation fans — the Rig R5 Spear Pro HS, officially licensed for PS5. Priced at €79.90 in Europe (or $69.99 in the US), it’s a stylish black headset that blends premium sound engineering with gamer-first comfort and customization.
At the heart of the Rig R5 Spear Pro HS are 40mm drivers with laminated graphene diaphragms, a serious audio upgrade usually reserved for high-end gear. This design minimizes harmonic distortion to under 0.5%, delivering cleaner, more detailed sound across all frequencies. Whether it’s the crack of gunfire in Call of Duty or the rustle of leaves in Ghost of Tsushima, the headset aims to make every audio cue razor-sharp.
As expected from a PS5-certified headset, it fully supports Sony’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, letting players experience true spatial sound. Nacon says the R5 Spear Pro HS can precisely reproduce subtle in-game details like footsteps and distant explosions — perfect for competitive gamers who rely on spatial awareness as much as reflexes.
The headset connects via a 1.5-meter wired cable with a 3.5mm jack, keeping latency to a minimum while ensuring compatibility with PS5, PS4, PC, and even mobile devices. It offers a wide 20Hz–40kHz frequency range and 32-ohm impedance, balancing clarity with punchy low-end performance. An inline volume control lets you make quick adjustments without leaving the action.
Communication gets a solid upgrade too. The flexible boom mic uses a cardioid pickup pattern to isolate your voice from background noise and includes a metal mesh pop filter for extra clarity. It also features a flip-to-mute function — an intuitive touch every gamer appreciates. With a 50Hz–15kHz response range and signal-to-noise ratio above 42dB, the mic promises clear voice comms during intense multiplayer sessions.
Beyond audio, Nacon’s design focus is all about comfort and personal flair. The Snap+Lock magnetic system lets users easily swap side plates or replace ear cushions, adding both longevity and customization. The headband and earcups feature memory foam padding, while adjustable arms and flat-folding earcups make the headset easy to store or carry.
Nacon is positioning the Rig R5 Spear Pro HS as the next evolution of its Rig gaming line, offering console players a more premium feel without breaking the bank. At under $70, it’s going head-to-head with brands like Turtle Beach and HyperX — but with a graphene twist that gives it a modern, audiophile edge.
The headset is available now through Nacon’s official online store and major retailers across Europe and the US. For players chasing that perfect blend of comfort, precision, and PS5-ready performance, the Rig R5 Spear Pro HS might just be the sweet spot between pro-grade sound and everyday playability.
