Best Buy is kicking off its Presidents’ Day deals right now, meaning you have until February 17 to grab some great NZXT audio gear for well below MSRP. The NZXT Relay and Switchmix are a brilliant way to upgrade your gaming audio without breaking the bank, but these new deals make the total price irresistible.
NZXT may not be the first name you imagine when looking for the best gaming headset, but its range of gaming peripherals is incredibly underrated. You can read my NZXT Function 2 review to see how its gaming keyboards stack up, and all of the gear recommended in this article is part of my current gaming setup.
The NXZT Relay is a wired over-the-ear gaming headset with a detachable microphone and in-line volume and mute controls. It also features 40mm neodymium drivers and DTS Headphone:X spatial audio. It’s currently $49.99 as part of Best Buy’s President’s Day sale, meaning you save $50 against the MSRP.
Its lightweight 263g design allows for long sessions with maximum comfort and its 2m cable means you aren’t going to be too limited by the fact that it’s a wired headset either.
Next up is the NXZT Switchmix, a high-resolution audio DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and headset stand currently on sale for $79.99, which is also a $50 saving against the $129.99 MSRP. This device has some cool tricks up its sleeve, as the headset stand features a pressure pad that instantly lets you switch between the headset and speaker audio output.
The DAC features a volume dial that doubles as a quick mute button, and next to it is an audio slider that adjusts your in-game audio and chat balance. It’s also fully customizable via the NZXT Cam software so you can fine-tune your experience.
Grabbing both the NZXT Relay and Switchmix right now at their deal prices will cost just $129.98, which is well under the price of many brand-new wireless gaming headsets alone.
If you want to go all out, you can also grab the NZXT Capsule Mini, a standalone microphone with 24-bit depth and a 48kHz sampling rate that currently has $13 off its price in the President’s Day sale, meaning it’s yours for just $56.99.
While I have the pleasure of testing many premium gaming peripherals on , I still come back to the NZXT Relay, Switchmix, and Capsule as my everyday work and gaming accessories.
I love how light the Relay headset is and, when paired with the Switchmix, it creates an easy way to store my headset while also offering a deeper level of control thanks to the DAC. As for the Capsule, I currently use the larger microphone with the mini NZXT boom arm, but from a quality standpoint, I’ve never had any issues in calls, when recording audio for voiceovers, or while streaming.
