HyperX Named Official Gaming Headset Of NBA 2K League

On the eve of the NBA 2K League’s historic first season opener, the league announced that HyperX would be its official gaming headset. HyperX will be used in-competition by all players and by broadcasters providing commentary on the action.

The NBA 2K League begins play tomorrow, with all of the contests streamed live on Twitch. The nascent league is the first esports circuit operated by a U.S. pro league, and each of the 17 teams is affiliated with an NBA franchise. The league held its inaugural draft earlier this month with NBA commissioner Adam Silver himself on hand to welcome a “new generation of athletes” to the association.
