NZXT revealed its latest audio products catering to PC gamers. The lineup includes four models, notably the "Relay" series of audio devices and the SwitchMix audio interface.
The "Relay Headset" is a gaming headset designed to deliver high-resolution audio. Its impressive features include a high-performance 40mm driver with a flat frequency response, providing sound quality that accurately replicates the original source, similar to professional monitor headphones. Additionally, the headset maintains a total harmonic distortion level below 1%.
Key specifications of the "Relay Headset" include a headphone playback frequency range of 20Hz to 40kHz, a microphone frequency range of 100Hz to 10kHz, a 3.5mm mini jack (4 poles) interface, and a USB conversion adapter.
