HP Unveils New HyperX Gaming Peripherals and Desktop Updates

HP has expanded its HyperX gaming brand with the introduction of several new peripherals aimed at enhancing the gaming experience for casual players, hardcore gamers, and streamers alike. Among these new offerings are HyperX’s first open-back headphones and the brand’s lightest mouse to date, alongside additional products designed to appeal to content creators.

The newly launched HyperX Cloud Air Alpha headphones stand out as the brand’s inaugural open-back headset. This design allows for greater situational awareness, making them particularly appealing for gamers who want to remain aware of their surroundings while immersed in gameplay. Feedback from testing the Cloud Air Alpha in a dedicated event space in New York confirmed that while the headphones let in outside noise, they do not compromise on audio quality. Priced at $150, these headphones will be available starting September 2026.
