The self-cooling HP Mindframe gaming headset literally cools down your ears

 

With built-in thermoelectric cooling plates inside the earcups, this unique headset drops its temperature by a good 10 degrees or more.

HP Omen Mindframe Review: Cool Behind the Ears

 

When it comes to longer gaming sessions, uncomfortable, toasty ears are something that comes along with the territory. Many headsets claim to remedy this frustrating malady, but just use valves to let air in, rather than providing active cooling. Enter...

The HP Omen Mindframe gaming headset stands out with tech that keeps your ears cool and has great sound, but its microphone is unwieldy and there is occasional sound leakage.

HP Omen Mindframe headset review: staying cool isn’t enough

Stronger alternatives (that lack the cooling feature) exist for less than half the price from HP’s competitors. And on the other end of the pricing spectrum, there are other 7.1-channel headphones that sound better than the Mindframe, such as HyperX’s...

The headset space is exciting these days. The more crowded it gets, the more gimmicks we’re seeing. It’s one of the few reliable ways to stand out, especially if, like HP, you’re coming late to the market. The more gimmicks you put out there, the more...

OMEN by HP Mindframe review: Keep cool with this gaming headset

 

Our OMEN by HP Mindframe review takes a look at the first gaming headset with active earcup cooling technology. Read on to see how they work and performed!

Slick looking design ; FrostCap cooling feature works great ; Decent sound for gaming ; Adjustable LED lighting effects ; Flip-to-mute microphone ; Solid build quality ; Mic-monitoring ; Easy on-ear volume control

Could use just a bit more bass. ; A bit heavier than other options. ; Can't specify colour range for Audio LED animation ; Can't disable 7.1 Surround Sound ; Sound sometimes feels lacking, if only momentarily
