OXS has officially launched its Thunder Duo range on Kickstarter, introducing what it calls the world’s first studio-grade gaming speaker systems with true Dolby Atmos integration. Following positive showings at IFA and Gamescom 2025, the Thunder Duo lineup arrives as the company’s boldest entry yet into high-fidelity gaming and creator audio.
A New Kind of Spatial Sound System
At the heart of the Thunder Duo experience is OXS’s Xspace spatial audio engine, working in tandem with coaxial front drivers and upward-firing sky channels to create genuine 360-degree immersion, no ceiling speakers required. The company says the system reproduces a full 5.1.2-channel surround environment with precise directional imaging for both cinematic and gameplay contexts.
The Thunder Duo family includes three configurations: the Thunder Duo, Thunder Duo X, and Thunder Duo Max.
- Thunder Duo (3.1.2) serves as the foundation, pushing 110W RMS (220W peak) of clean audio with distortion under 0.5%.
- Thunder Duo X adds a wireless neck speaker that acts as a dynamic rear-channel system, ideal for those who want movement-sensitive surround sound.
- Thunder Duo Max goes all in with a wireless subwoofer that deepens bass response without cables or latency issues.
Each setup delivers a studio-like listening experience across gaming, streaming, and content creation, backed by alloy magnet drivers, dual DSP processing, and fluid-dynamics bass ports for consistent clarity and punch.
Designed for Seamless Connectivity
OXS made platform compatibility a priority. The Thunder Duo supports HDMI 2.1 (eARC, 4K@120Hz), USB-C, optical, and Bluetooth 5.3, making it compatible with PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC, Steam Deck, VR headsets, and mobile devices. Users can switch between inputs instantly, skipping the tangle of cable swapping.
Three built-in audio presets and a customizable mode let listeners fine-tune EQ and channel gain through the OXS Omni Xspace app. The same app controls the system’s lighting; six RGB rings across three zones with eight visual effects like Flame, Turbo, and Waterfall, lending a touch of sci-fi to the minimalist design.
Compact, Modular, and Ready to Expand
Each speaker measures 7 x 8.5 x 10.9 inches, small enough to fit comfortably beside a 32-inch monitor yet angled for precise projection. The modular architecture means users can start small and upgrade later; the neck speaker and subwoofer pair wirelessly through a single USB dongle for plug-and-play expansion.
OXS’s approach targets gamers and creators who want audiophile-level accuracy without complex setup or bulky hardware. The goal: a true Dolby Atmos desktop solution that feels as powerful as it sounds.
