NZXT Relay Headset and SwitchMix review

Soundcards and Speakers 106 Published by Krzysztof Hukalowicz 1

teaser
Today, we had an opportunity to check out the new headset from NZXT called Relay. It comes from the same family as the speakers/subwoofer reviewed at last year’s end. We will also present the SwitchMix, a USB DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) with mixer features and a headset stand. That’s not all as if you would use a Relay headset and the Relay speakers - when you pick up the headset from the built-in headphone stand, the speakers mute and audio switches to the headphones, and the other way around.

Today we check out the new speakers (+subwoofer) from NZXT, called Relay. You wouldn’t expect it from a company mainly known for its chassis, AIOs, and some – Intel-based motherboards (done together with ECS). The mentioned speakers and a subwoofer are not the only audio-related products that NZXT has released, as there’s also a headset + SwitchMix audio interface, but this will be covered in a separate review.

Headsets are one of the types of peripherals that Corsair offers (there are also PC components, but that’s not a story for this review).

The HS series starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different, wireless variants).

teaser

We take a look at the Razer Kraken v3 pro, the company's latest premium gaming headset series. A gaming and music-obsessed audiophile headset that has been improved once again with additional capabilities. This headset features haptic technology, which causes the earcups to rumble in response to bass. And that was significantly more enjoyable than anticipated.

We review the new Corsair HS70 Bluetooth Headset. Admittedly, I've been nagging Corsair about this for a long time now. Their internal technology used for Wireless headsets is great, but with Bluetooth, you can connect your headset to, well almost everything!
