Neurable announced a partnership with HyperX at CES 2026 to integrate the company's brain‑computer interface (BCI) technology into HyperX gaming headphones, the companies said.

The prototype headphones use EEG sensors in the earcups to track brain waves and measure metrics such as focus and stress. Neurable, which previously integrated its technology into the MW75 Neuro with Master and Dynamic, says an AI‑powered algorithm trained on multiple brain wave models determines when a wearer's attention is centered.

At a demo reported by ZDNET, a participant completed an Aimlabs shooting exercise before and after Neurable’s Prime brain exercise. In the first run he scored 33,333 points with 75.5% accuracy, a 478ms reaction time, and 126 targets hit. After the Prime exercise—designed to help users clear their minds and centre attention—he scored 39,405 points with 83.3% accuracy, a 437ms reaction time, and 138 targets hit. According to Neurable, the exercise is intended to help esports athletes know when they are ready to perform under pressure.

The companies say the Neurable app will capture insights such as attention slips, need for breaks, stress handling and cognitive strain to inform athletes and coaches. The headset remains a prototype and specific model information, pricing and availability have not been disclosed.
