Unboxing This headset is secured quite well into its box. Four twist ties hold it to a piece of cardboard and the front is shrouded in plastic for display on store shelves. Once you get everything open and uncovered, you’ll find the headset, Omen stickers, and normal paperwork with warranty information inside. I love the way this headset looks. The all black with red accents is sexy. The Omen name comes with the reputation of quality and this headset is no different. While mostly plastic, manufacturing clearly has tight tolerances as there is no creaking whatsoever in the mic or headband, even when stretched beyond normal. Headband Speaking of the headband, it’s definitely one of the features of this headset that make it so great. The headset that I swapped for this guy is lighter, but hurts the arch of my head so badly after brief (30-60 min) gaming sessions. The HP Omen Mindframe Prime is a very heavy headset, but you don’t feel that weight when it’s on your head. The suspension system distributes the weight evenly and I have gamed for 6+ hours straight without needing to make any adjustments. FrostCap Technology The other big selling point on this headset for me was the FrostCap technology. What does that mean exactly? FrostCap actively cools the plastic mesh inside the headset, drawing heat away from your ears during use. There are no fans blowing this cool air around, so its effects are subtle, but substantial during long use. With my old headset, my ears would sweat. Yes, I agree that’s gross. But again, with the HP Omen Mindframe Prime I can do longer 6+ hour gaming sessions without any of that. Other Features Other features found on the headset include a flip-to-mute mic with a light at the tip that illuminates red when muted and a volume wheel. The flip-to-mute mic is a feature in a headset I didn’t even know I needed. When I’m gaming and someone comes into my room to talk, I can simply flip my mic up instead of fumbling back to Discord in order to mute myself. This is a great feature and can spare your friends from hearing awkward family conversations. Behind the right ear cup, you will find a volume wheel that does what you’d expect - changes the volume on PC in increments of two. Pretty standard, but feels robust and a nice feature while in the middle of a game, movie, or song. Sound Quality I am impressed by the sound quality of this headset. Voices are clear while chatting and the 7.1 virtual surround allows you to hear directionality within games. This headset could be used for jam sessions with solid bass and crisp mids and highs. Omen Command Center The first time you plug the HP Omen Mindframe Prime headset into your computer, the Omen Command Center app will be downloaded. Once you agree to a little data collection, the app gives you the ability to adjust audio levels, activate/ deactivate 7.1 surround sound and environmental noise cancellation, play with the equalizer, change the LED color on both ear cups, adjust the amount of cooling, and enable/ disable the flip-to-mute mic feature. There’s a lot of functionality here in a simplified layout. Something I really appreciate is that the app does NOT have to be running in the background for the changes you’ve made to be saved. Other gaming mice that I have used, for example, will not maintain the color you have chosen unless the app is still running. The Omen Command Center does not have this problem. Make your choice, close the app, and it will stay that way until changed. Overall Impressions All-in-all, I really like this headset and it will obviously be my go-to while on my PC. Despite being heavy, it is built well and comfortable with the suspension headband and FrostCap cooling technology. With the ability to customize almost every aspect of the headset, what isn’t there to love?

I have been gaming both PC and consoles for many years and I have never had a pair of truly “gaming headset”. I have always had high-end stereo headphones that I thought were more than sufficient for gaming. I knew they were not 7.1 but I did not believe that virtual surround sound was that big a deal…BOY WAS I WRONG!!! OMEN kills it with the 7.1 virtual surround. IT IS JUST amazing just how dynamic and engrossing the sound canvas is!!! While playing a very popular 1st person shooter game, one of the maps in the game has a bookstore in Piccadilly Square. When I went in to that I was taken aback by the ambient music in the book store. I thought for a split second it was in my house and I took off the head phones to check. Really Cool! Then I noticed just how much better my gameplay was when I truly could hear the other players near, far, upstairs, in another building …down the street, It really puts you into the action like I have never experienced before! I feel sad that I have gone this long in gaming an not experienced it until now!! Better late than never. I also told the other players I had a new head set and asked if they could hear me and multiple players in multiple game sessions commented on my voice quality and clarity. The next thing that blew me away was the ear cup cooling system. This thing is magic! So after just about an hour of game playing I touched the metal cooling coil (or what ever it is) and it was COLD to the touch!!! Not cool….COLD! That feature isn’t just a “cool” gimmick it really makes a difference in the comfort level of extended game playing. It’s not an air vent or fan trick…It’s cooling coils of some sort that make your ears feel nice and cool and comfortable! After about an hour and a half of constant wear and game play, cool comfort was the end result! With my other headphones after an hour or so of game play my ears were hot and sweaty and my ears felt like they had a fever!!!! I didn’t like that but never knew there was a fix to that…I guess there wasn’t until OMEN invented it with these bad boys! Amazing tech! I also really like the OMEN Command System Software. It was super easy to change the LED colors on the ear cups and the level of cooling (Minimum, Medium and Max) cooling coils will give you. You can also turn on a slight “beep” feature when the boom mic is muted and unmuted. The red light on the tip of the mic when it ’s muted is a nice touch! You can also adjust all the EQ’s as well and use enhanced footsteps and FPS setting as well. It also has the ability to turn off the 7.1 surround sound and an Environmental Noise Canceling system. These headphones are kinda of heavy but for the cooling trade off and and the sound quality, it’s a fair trade for the weight. Despite being a little heavy they are comfortable. I wore them for an hour and half to two hours without any discomfort! The headband set up does a good job of offsetting the weight. Overall Incredible headphones and the cooling…I’m telling you….Magic! The 7.1 surround sound really put me in the game and increased my gaming ability especially in the FPS! AWESOME OMEN MINDFRAME PRIME!!
