NZXT Relay Wired Gaming Headset – 40mm Drivers, Hi-Res Audio, Lightweight Comfort, Noise-Isolating Design (Black, V2)

The NZXT Relay Wired Gaming Headset (AP-WCB40-B2) is engineered for gamers, creators, and professionals who value immersive audio, lightweight comfort, and seamless compatibility across devices. Part of NZXT’s premium Relay Audio Ecosystem, this wired headset delivers a perfect balance of performance and comfort, making it an ideal choice for competitive gaming, entertainment, and everyday use.

Premium Audio Performance

At the heart of the Relay headset are 40mm Neodymium drivers, precision-tuned to provide balanced, accurate sound. The audio profile emphasizes clarity across lows, mids, and highs—ensuring deep bass for explosions and cinematic effects, detailed mids for dialogue and team comms, and crisp highs for environmental awareness. This makes it equally suited for gaming, streaming, or music playback.

With Hi-Res stereo sound, the headset ensures users hear every detail in their content, whether it’s footsteps in a competitive shooter, background music during streams, or vocals in high-fidelity recordings.

Lightweight, Comfort-Focused Design

Weighing under 300g, the Relay headset emphasizes comfort for extended sessions. The memory foam ear cushions and padded headband adapt to the user’s head shape, reducing pressure and preventing fatigue. The closed-back, noise-isolating earcups minimize outside distractions, helping gamers and creators stay fully focused.

Versatile Connectivity

The NZXT Relay headset is designed for universal compatibility. It connects via a 3.5mm jack, making it plug-and-play with PCs, laptops, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and even mobile devices with headphone ports. Its detachable cable design ensures flexibility and easy replacement if needed.

For users invested in the Relay ecosystem, the headset integrates seamlessly with the NZXT Relay Headset Stand (with built-in Hi-Res DAC & amplifier, sold separately). This combination unlocks studio-grade audio and premium convenience, elevating the headset’s performance even further.

Optimized for Gaming & Communication

Clear communication is essential in competitive play. The Relay headset supports high-quality voice pickup when paired with a dedicated microphone (e.g., NZXT Capsule series). Its soundstage is designed to deliver precise positional audio, ensuring gamers can react quickly to in-game cues such as enemy footsteps or environmental sounds.

Stylish & Minimalist NZXT Design

True to NZXT’s design philosophy, the Relay headset features a sleek, minimalist black finish that matches modern gaming setups. It avoids unnecessary bulk and RGB distractions, focusing on clean aesthetics and professional appeal.

Built for Durability & Longevity

Crafted with a reinforced headband and durable plastic-metal construction, the Relay headset balances lightweight portability with long-lasting strength. High-quality cabling ensures reliable signal transfer, while the detachable cable system adds to the product’s lifespan.

Ideal Use Cases

• Competitive Gaming: Enhanced positional accuracy and clarity give players an edge.

• Streaming & Content Creation: Comfortable for long recording or streaming sessions.

• Everyday Entertainment: Balanced audio makes it equally suited for movies, music, and calls.

• Professional Environments: Noise-isolating design helps in focus-oriented workspaces.

Future-Proof Integration

While the headset itself delivers excellent standalone performance, pairing it with other NZXT Relay ecosystem products (such as the DAC/amp stand, speakers, or subwoofer) allows users to expand their audio setup. This ensures the headset isn’t just a short-term investment, but a future-ready audio solution.
