- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023Style: CapsuleColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThe NZXT Capsule (AP-WUMIC-B1) is a game-changer for anyone into streaming and gaming. Setting it up is a breeze - just plug it in, and you're good to go. The sleek design adds a nice touch to your setup.
The cardioid feature works like a charm, capturing your voice with clarity while keeping background noise at bay. No need for extra equipment – it's a simple USB connection. The build is solid, and the adjustable stand is a practical addition, letting you position it just right.
Sound quality is impressive, delivering clear audio for your streams or gaming sessions. The real-time monitoring is handy, allowing you to keep tabs on your audio levels while you're in action.
Sure, it might not be a high-end studio microphone, but for the price, the NZXT Capsule holds its own, making it a smart choice for those looking to step up their audio game without splurging. It's a reliable and stylish addition to any gaming or streaming setup.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025Style: CapsuleColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseRight out of the box, you just plug and play. No setup required. It's very nice sound quality, although I personally would like if it had slightly better sound quality. It sounds great for your basic uses whether that be gaming, video calls, etc. But personally I wouldn't use it for something like music recording or such if you'd like to vere down that road. Build quality is amazing. It's all metal. It's compatibility is fine, it's usb. Functionality is nice. It has a headphones jack so you can plug your headphones into it and not only use it as a microphone but also as an output device. It plays back your audio from the mic to your plugged in headphones though which I didn't like so I don't use it. You can change the volume sensitivity with the buttons on the mic. Overall nice mic and recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2024Style: CapsuleColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseI got this microphone because I loved how it looked and when I got it, it was even better quality than I thought it would be. It has an all metal stand with the microphone itself being made of high quality plastic. Then the sound quality is just on a whole other level. The sound is just so crisp and for the most part when paired with the convenient audio jack that is in the microphone it cancels out the background noise to provide even better sound

- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2022Style: CapsuleColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseYou can listen to sound tests online, but the mic is plug and play, no drivers or anything needed. Sounds good, Lyon can probably find better for the money, but it will be fine for video calls or gaming and even streaming. Build quality is great, it really feels solid, I don’t have any doubt it will hold up. The best feature for me is the appearance. A lot of “better” microphones just don’t look as good, if you like NZXT’s design, you’ll love the mic.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024Style: CapsuleColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThe quality is great! The closer you get to it, the better it sounds. The volume twister is also the mute button! One thing though, the volume twister (for voice and mic), have no stopping point, they keep going, so you will have to configure it with a sound recorder. Other than that, its a really good mic! The material is also really good, its a touch metal and does not smudge easy due to the matte coating.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024Style: CapsuleColor: BlackVerified PurchaseMic was truly Plug and play. Drivers installed when plugging in and works well. Sound quality is good and picks up audio from the front nicely. Shock mount does a pretty decent job of cancelling desk bump noises. Would recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2025Style: CapsuleColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseThe most important: sound is pretty good.
I like that it comes with volume control and mute button.
What I don't like is that the light is always on, I have to unplug it when I'm not using it to turn the light off, but I can live with that.
I've had mine for about a year and a half, and the cable is like broken inside, because the mic turns on/off if I move the cable. I don't remember bending it in a way that it can get broken, so I'm not sure what's going on there.
Other than that, it's all good.

Robin J.Reviewed in Belgium on September 18, 20244.0 out of 5 stars Good miccrophone...though...
Style: CapsuleColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseGood microphone. Solid build but the plastic counterparts feel a bit weak. Sufficent for Discord. The Capsule does not have it's own firmware, plug-and-play type. The knobs turn infinitely so there is no way to tell if you have set the gain to max or 0 for example. The metal stand it includes is extremely solid but I think I will get an arm setup soon. Overall a 8/10 since it was priced down far from suggested retail. Maybe NZXT has a hard time selling these? Had I bought it at retail this would have been an instant return.

RedfieldReviewed in France on April 28, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Simple et efficace
Style: CapsuleColor: BlackVerified PurchaseCe micro est absolument parfait. La qualité perçue est excellente, et le micro capte clairement la voix.
Il est d'une facilité enfantine à configurer, il y a juste à le brancher et c'est tout ! Pour augmenter la sensibilité il y a une molette à l'avant du micro.
Je recommande vivement et je suis content de mon achat
