You can also score the full-size NZXT Capsule Microphone for $79.99 shipped. While not as steep of a discount or the best price we’ve tracked for this model, going with this upgraded offering still nets you $20 in savings. So why would you want to go this route? Glad you asked. This model offers a higher audio frequency rate (jumping from 48 to 96kHz) and range (increased from 100-10,000Hz to 20-20,000Hz). Bear in mind that it jumps up in size to about 10 inches tall with a diameter of roughly 5 inches.
