I called this speaker, subwoofer and headset bundle ‘audio wizardry’ because of its near-seamless sound switching, and it’s now half off this Black Friday

The NZXT relay impressed me so much on my first outing with them that they’ve become my daily driver for audio support since I’ve had the pleasure of trying them out. While there are better sounding speakers at their price point, as a full package, I have yet to try anything quite like the Relay.

Basically, the NZXT Switch Mix is a headphone stand with audio sliders that has a pressure plate on top. When you take off the headphones, your game’s music will play from them. When you put them back on the stand, the sound comes out of the speakers. It really is as seamless as it sounds, although it does require a little bit of tinkering to get everything working at first.

I must warn you that while the mids and highs are clear for a set of speakers in this price range, the bass is lacking. Fortunately, the included subwoofer should solve some of that problem. It still never quite hits the highs (or should I say the lows?) of the Razer Nommo V2 Pro’s bass, but provides a satisfying rumble for the heat of the game while gaming.

I felt very positive about the Relay in my review, mostly criticizing the need to pick up its many accessories, but this deal has them all, and you can get it even a bit cheaper by using the code AFF5 at checkout.

If you need a holistic audio solution and want something to swap between headphones and speakers almost instantly, I can’t think of a single bundle out there in Black Friday land that can top this absolute steal.
