HP's new Mindframe PC gaming headset can help keep you cool – literally

The world’s first gaming headset with active cooling inside


If your PC gaming headset fits comfortably, but still leaves you feeling like you’ve just depressurized after a lengthy gaming session, HP has something just for you: Mindframe. This is HP’s new, over-ear PC gaming headset featuring active ear cooling.

The headset, due out in the second half of this year for an undisclosed price, uses a patented active cooling solution employing a “thermoelectric device inside the earcup that conducts heat from the acoustic chamber towards the outside,” HP’s announcement reads.


Of course, the headset is focused on comfort otherwise, with a suspension headband over the leatherette ear cups. On top of that, the headset will bring forth DTS Headphone:X and 7.1 virtual surround sound.

Finally, the headset is equipped with a noise-canceling, unidirectional microphone that can instantly mute when flipped up, as well as stylish RGB lighting. All of these features can be controlled through HP’s Omen Command Center software, natch.

Again, it’s unknown when this headset will be available for the masses of sweaty PC gamers with aching heads, nor how much such reprieve will cost, but it’s easy to get hype for nevertheless.
