The new HP game helmet promises to stay from now on the day of the judgment

If you really can’t endure the idea of connecting a helmet to a replacement USB charger after a marathon game session, your former friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard can have what you are looking for. The hyperx range of HP PC game peripherals now includes the Hyperx Cloud Alpha 2 helmet of $ 300 which promises a total of 250 hours of high -load battery life. No, it is not as long as the original 300 hours of $ 200 Hyperx Cloud in 2022, but the suite now includes a large shiny base station for fast audio switching and simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity that makes it more usable than your essential PC helmet.

HP invited me to stick my head between the wrists of the Alpha 2 cloud, and at the very least, I can say that it will remain comfortable for part of the 250 hours you could spend listening to it. The helmet is built on a steel frame with aluminum forks supporting microfiber headphones that feel soft and tight without tightening your head like a lemon press. This has promised 250 hours of battery life is what you can wait to use it in 2.4 GHz mode at 50% volume, but if you make a simultaneous Bluetooth, you can expect more than 125 hours. If you want to go from 0 to 100%, the burden of this beast could take more than six hours. Indeed, the helmet could last a total of 25 10 -hour marathon game sessions. If you are like me and you get barely two hours to rub together to sit on your PC, the Alpha 2 cloud could potentially spend months without the need to complete.

The Alpha 2 cloud seems to be built to be your home pillar helmet for PC games thanks to the RGB base station. The platform is on your desk with a large volume button and six programmable buttons. It acts like your dongle at 2.4 GHz, although its main reason for being is for easy -to -access media controls. HP told me that the big brilliant pimples could be reprogrammed for the mute, multimedia switching, equalization tilles, etc. via Ngenuity software. I asked the company if these buttons could be modified to access the features outside the HP software, but unfortunately, you will not be able to transform the RGB base station into a miniature flow game.

HP also brought back the internal microphone that the company presented for the last time in the Hyperx Cloud III S. It is a quality of life function that allows you to put the invasive boom micro if you want to continue to speak while poaching foods in your mouth. What was not copied is the instant pair function that allowed the Cloud III to connect to the OMEN MAX 16 laptop of HP without the need for a dongle. It seems that a strange omission since the new HP game laptop supports instant audio connection.

The new hyperx helmet uses large 53 mm drivers, and in the few minutes to test them, I found that they could produce a strong audio with impressive bass, but there was not enough time to really put the alpha 2 cloud. I have been on a helmet kick lately since I tried the Razer Blackshark V3 Pro with its 70 hours of downgraded battery life, although the hyperx range is more focused on everyday player rather than on Esports Tryhard. Despite – or perhaps because of – all this speech on the life of the unnecessary battery in a helmet, which really triggered the joy in my blasé player brain was a power supply, of all things.

The new OMEN MAX 45L office of HP has a neat cooling system hanging on a shelf above the master bedroom. This so-called “Cryo Chambre” is supposed to keep components up to the Ryzen 9950x3d and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 cool. What attracted me more was what was below. The PSU, or power supply, includes a fan check integrated into the PC pre -pre -software. HP also allows users to run the PSU fan backwards, which must in theory expel any dust or loose fur which is sucking through the lower grids. I cannot imagine that it would replace a thorough cleaning. If anything, the latest HP products are designed for the forgetful type that does not seem to find the time to load their helmet or clean their PC.
