that feature that switches from headphones to speaker mode is amazing, wish my razer stand did that

[@UncleAir]

Could the Relay speakers and sub be used on a TV to replace a older soundbar for a bedroom tv?

[@ruggedsapper4751]

I just got the new Switch mix but it seems like the volume from the NZXT speaker and subwoofer speakers are much lower than they were when they were plugged directly into my PC.

[@intreppit]

Thank for the review! 🙂
But I think, for me, you forgot to mention the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro as a competitor for small class speakers with incredible soundstage, bass response and neutral sound signature. They also have Bluetooth. But they lag of a subwoofer connection.

[@tillnachtigall580]

best selling point for the headset for me: its probably the only gaming headset I've seen so far, you can jump in a work video call with, without looking completely stupid.

[@YuniorGamboa]

Very Informative. Thanks for the review. I just wish NZXt would make their peripherals with the option of either wired or wireless even though the price would increase

[@juweikwen4030]

Good, microphone quality sounds good!

[@AshBornTheGreatV2]

Got these because my set up is a black and white theme but my Amazon speakers sound identical to these for only $50 less

[@RedkidYT]

Which Ones bro

[@AshBornTheGreatV2]

@@RedkidYT they are sanyun SW208

[@rom260]

that switching function seems like a great feature. I only wish it was a litlle bit cheaper. I think, it is one of the few stands that has this feature, another one is the audioswitch headphone stand

[@frankocean5954]

Does the SwitchMix only work when you have an audio jack for the headset? Or does it work with a wireless headset? Can you set that up?

[@SUPERSWEETLOU]

buyer beware. i purchased the switch mix and i cant get it to work on my logi products. there may be compatability issues with the switchmix

[@LikelyLagging]

You can get MUCH nicer speakers for 250.. that’s unfortunate

[@MekaniQ]

That's the only thing that's holding me back buying the whole line.
But since the SwitchMix can use any speakers or headphones on it, so that's really cool that I'm not forced to use any of my speakers instead 👏
