NZXT Relay PC Gaming Desktop Speakers - AP-SPKB2-US - Bookshelf-Style Design - 80 Watts - High Dynamic Range - Silk Dome Tweeters - Glass Fiber Woofers - Black

I bought this NZXT sub to pair with my Kanto reference speakers which have excellent sound quality but really do lack bass. I primarily use a 2.1 system for gaming and have been using the Klipsch promedia 2.1s for decades and they finally died on me. I have several other NZXT pc products and have already enjoyed their price per quality.This sub was nicely packaged and easy to install. It’s rather small and takes up minimal real estate under smaller desks. The build quality is above average and the overall finish is very well done with a nice soft matte black.Once booted up and after playing some music and some games I noticed nearly zero bass coming from the sub but with some fine tuning I got some decent bass. It’s not overbearing and house shaking bass, it’s just enough. The bass can sound muddled down a bit so altering the knobs on the back is vital to achieving the sound you want.When fine tuning this sub just be mindful that every set-up is different so you’ll have to mess with your system volume, application volume, sub and speaker volume and finally crossover settings. It’s also advisable to mess with the system EQ settings as well to get the perfect sound you’re looking for. Overall I’m happy I bought this sub when it was on sale versus the very expensive Kanto sub.

We have a vintage motor home that we’ve been restoring, and I wanted a stereo system that sounded fantastic - but space is very limited. There’s little wall space due to cabinets, appliances, and windows, plus there’s hardly any floor space that you can fit a big box like most subwoofers. I found the perfect small speakers to mount all along the walls of the living area and kitchen, but most subwoofers are too big. I had to keep it small as possible with no dimension being over 12”. That’s nearly impossible with a good-sounding sub. I started with another brand sub, just a little smaller than this one. It sounded great and fit in well, but had terrible quality issues that I won’t go into here. Then I found this one, and for the price I wondered if it would be any better.It came yesterday, and I first noticed that it was heavier than I expected - much heavier than the competitor’s sub that I had to return. I took it out to the RV and had it working with the sound I wanted within a few minutes. Wow, it fit in the space perfectly, and sounds amazing with my system. It’s got plenty of low end for me, without maxing it out. It’s definitely a keeper.Is it enough low end for some of you who blast music and movies in a large room, and want to rattle the neighbors’ dishes? NO it is not, so don’t read that into what I’m saying. If you like to listen to music or watch TV in a small room or RV at levels that you’d be able to hear somebody next to you if they said something, then this little sub will have more low end than you’ll ever use. The hook up is simple as can be, and the quality seems to be outstanding - we’ll see how it lasts, and I’ll update here if it proves otherwise long term.

Hunted around for a while for white speakers for my set up and settled on these because of the size, design, and listed specs. I’ve been using them for about 8 months now and am pretty pleased with them over all. Sound quality is great and they aren’t super bulky or large so they tuck nicely onto my desk without taking up a lot of room. Super clear sound and a great range of volume with the ability to be very soft when you need it or quite loud when you want some blaring sound. They are very sleek and match my all white build/theme perfectly. The design is great.Price point for the brand is not the worst, but I wouldn’t say they are really worth the full price especially with comparable speakers coming in at lower prices. I don’t personally own the subwoofer but it is cool that you can purchase one to add on as an option. Downside of that seems to be it only comes in black.My only two complaints:I struggled a bit setting them up since I had never set up a monitor speaker before with the wires and thought they weren’t working properly with sound only coming through one speaker. I actually contacted support and was going to return them. Then… my boyfriend told me I had set them up wrong and got them working properly so it was user error on my end.Sometimes the sound will just straight up cut out and I’ll lose all volume. Switching to another audio source then back to them seems to fix it most of the time. Or turning them off then back on. Doesn’t happen all the time. Not sure what the issue here is, but it happens once in a blue moon. Has happened maybe 5 times in the 8 months I’ve used them.

I bought these for use with my desktop PC and have them connected via 3.5mm audio jack. The sound reproduction is a huge upgrade from my $14 usb speakers. They get pretty loud and could probably fill a typically size living room with no problem. I like the option to add a subwoofer if I want extra bass. That is an upgrade I may get in the future, but they work perfectly for what I'm using them for now.

Didn’t work. Need to return

Excellent product! Been waiting quite a while for it. The quality of the speakers is very good, worth every penny! Thanks seller for a superb item and transaction! Keep up the good work!

From a Micca review to this: I upgraded from MB42 speakers to MB42x G2s. Great bass response, however there is a mid lower bump on the new speaker that gives a mild or subdued mid-range response. To compensate I partnered these with a Fosi Audio DA-2120c with built in DAC and equalizer. Also replaced the Fosi 32v x 5amp power with a 36v x 5amp power adapter and 12 gauge speaker wire to maximize speaker wattage and clarity. Also have the NZXT Relay subwoofer for heavy lows and with the tone controls and equalizer the sound quality and balance are great. Have to say these are great near field speakers and I would highly recommend them with a desktop build, surround or just a great 2.1 setup.

Pretty good for the price. Not extremely bassy, but for my small office and gaming it’s great.
