Since 2004, NZXT has served as a leader in PC hardware components while expanding to offer additional products and services, including BLD, NZXT’s custom PC building service, and NZXT CAM, a free PC monitoring program. NZXT’s audio lineup is a natural next step in the company’s journey to meet the needs of gamers everywhere. Together, the audio suite makes it easy for gamers, creators and audiophiles to streamline their setup while enjoying lightweight construction, premium sound quality, and modular customization.
“At NZXT, our product development always starts by identifying a hassle gamers face that takes time away from gaming, and we saw an opportunity to bring powerful, elegant solutions to common audio issues,” said Patrick Butler, Product Manager at NZXT. “No one wants to have to follow tedious steps to switch their audio from headsets to their speakers – they want it to happen instantaneously, and our MXER and STND achieve this. Our AER headset in particular is like a Swiss Army knife — users can easily transition from gaming to listening to music in public, swap their mic and cable to be on the left or right side, and choose from open or closed-back designs.”
All NZXT audio products are backed by a two-year warranty. In addition, the lineup is compatible with any analog speaker or wired headset from brands designed for both PCs and consoles. Find all compatibility details on our website here.
The audio ecosystem will integrate with CAM upon launch, allowing users to fine-tune their audio experience. Gamers will also be able to include NZXT audio products when creating a custom gaming PC with BLD, NZXT’s custom PC building service.
