Kirkland, WA; April 16, 2026 – NACON, a leader in premium gaming accessories and parent company of the RIG audio brand, today announced the U.S. availability of its latest additions to the R5 SPEAR PRO Series: the RIG R5 PRO HX, RIG R5 PRO HC, and a white edition of the critically acclaimed RIG R5 PRO HS.
Officially licensed for Xbox, the R5 PRO HX includes a one-year Dolby Atmos for Headphones subscription, elevating in-game performance with precise 3D audio rendering to help players pinpoint incoming threats.
Each headset in the R5 PRO Series has been custom-tuned specifically for first-person shooters and harnesses the power of 40mm graphene drivers. The R5 PRO’s driver diaphragm is coated with a graphene layer, making it exceptionally lightweight while also extremely rigid, minimizing audio distortion and delivering crisp, detailed sound. For gamers, this provides superior audio reproduction and the ability to easily pinpoint in-game threats with unmatched accuracy.
The R5 PRO Series also introduces RIG’s new SNAP+LOCK mod system, allowing gamers to personalize their headset with interchangeable magnetic Mod-Plates and ear cushions. Exclusive ‘Audio Above All Edition’ Mod-Plates – inspired by RIG’s signature tagline – are available for purchase through Shop Nacon. Gamers can also purchase blank Mod-Plates from Shop Nacon, to take customization even further.
