NZXT Capsule Mini Microphone Review

Rating: 8.0.

The Capsule Mini microphone is a stripped back, scaled-down version of the original Capsule released by NZXT back in 2021. With a vocal-focused frequency response and simple controls, alongside a much smaller size, this tiny mic aims to be the small package that good things come in! We also check out the Boom Arm mini… a smaller version of the NZXT Boom Arm. Can these small products deliver big performance?

Pros:

  • Good sound quality.
  • Affordable at just £60.
  • Smart design.
  • Simple to use.

Cons:

  • No onboard gain control.

  • Not the most premium build.

KitGuru says: The Capsule Mini is a decent microphone for the money. It's capable of capturing great sounding vocals when positioned close to the source of audio. The minimal design and simplistic controls make it a great entry level device that will be a definite upgrade in mic quality over most entry level headsets.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
