INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of an NZXT Headset!
Whether you are a professional streamer, a casual player,

The NZXT AER Headset comes with audio cables to
connect virtually any type of audio product or gaming
device, and the swappable/removeable cable and
microphone offer unique versatility not found on any
other headset. This manual will help you set up your
headset, and sort out any trouble with a troubleshooting
guide. It also contains important warranty information.

AER OPEN WIRED STEREO HEADSET
ABOUT THE
NZXT AER HEADSET
The NZXT AER Open Headset was
designed to be a highly comfortable
and long-wearing headset thanks
to its soft, oversized circumaural
earcups and lightweight, breathable
design. The unidirectional microphone
and high-tech neodymium drivers
provide exceptional performance no
matter what your favorite game genre
might be.
This headset is designed around the
“Open” audio principle: the outer
earcups are open/perforated and
the earpads are designed to softly
surround your ears.
ABOUT USING THE NZXT HEADSET WITH
THE NZXT AUDIO SYSTEM
This provides you with an “airy” audio
experience which presents itself as
having a wide soundstage that enables
identifying effects within the sound
field possible with pinpoint accuracy.
The open backed earcups also enable
you to hear what’s going on within your
environment (it also may enable others
to hear your audio, so be aware of close
quarters).
The NZXT Open Headset design also
benefits by having an enhanced
midrange and high end, thanks to the
audiophile grade Hi Res certified drivers.
The complete NZXT Audio System consists of the NZXT Headset (described
in this guide), the NZXT MXER, and NZXT STND. All of the NZXT Audio System
components are high-end desktop PC gaming audio products by themselves,
but combined together, they unlock additional functionality and performance.

SETTING UP THE
NZXT HEADSET
STEP 01
CONNECT 4-POLE CABLE WITH VOLUME/MUTE REMOTE
The NZXT AER Headset comes with a headset cable with Mute/Volume controls included in-line
on the cable. The cable can be installed in either direction, and on either side of the headset.
The Volume Wheel controls the volume of the headset – turn the wheel clockwise to increase
volume and counter-clockwise to decrease. Note that the inline volume control acts as a master
– if the wheel is set to a low volume (or off), sound will not be heard.
The mute control has a bright red indicator when in the mute (Voice OFF) position.
This cable is mobile-friendly and can be used in a variety of PCs, laptops, mobile phones,
portable gaming, and music devices if they have a 3.5mm headphone connector.
IMPORTANT: Keep the headset cable fully inserted and seated
into the 3.5mm connector on the bottom of the headset downtube
for proper operation. An incorrectly seated cable may cause
feedback or other interference.
WARNING: Always adjust the volume of the NZXT Headset to a
safe level BEFORE putting it on! Permanent hearing loss may
occur if headphones or earbuds are used at a high volume for an
extended period of time.
