HyperX Launches New Gaming Headsets and Microphones
HyperX, the gaming division of HP, has unveiled a range of new gaming headsets and microphones, featuring the Cloud Alpha 2 as its flagship model priced at $299.99. This headset is equipped with 53mm drivers and operates on a 2.4GHz wireless system, offering a remarkable battery life of up to 250 hours, which translates to over ten days of continuous usage. However, this duration is halved when the headset is connected to Bluetooth simultaneously, reports 24brussels.
In addition to the Cloud Alpha 2, HyperX introduced a budget-friendly option, the Cloud Flight 2, which supports RGB side panels and retails for $129.99 for PlayStation and PC, and $139.99 for Xbox. The new microphones include the SoloCast 2, a side-address desktop mic priced at $59.99, and the FlipCast, a premium “broadcast quality” mic aimed at podcasters and streamers, available for $229.99. With a design reminiscent of Shure’s MV7, the FlipCast features RGB lighting and provides both USB and XLR connectivity.
The new headsets and microphones are scheduled to be released this month, while the Cloud Flight 2 is expected to hit the market in October.
