OXS has pushed its audio lineup forward with the Thunder Duo and Thunder Duo X, the first desktop speakers to deliver true Dolby Atmos in a 5.1.2 configuration. Fresh from a Kickstarter and showcase slots at IFA and Gamescom 2025, the duo replaces ceiling rigs and software virtualization with upward‑firing sky channels and the proprietary Xspace engine, promising 360‑degree immersion for gamers and creators alike.

Base‑model Thunder Duo offers a 3.1.2 setup delivering 110 W RMS (220 W peak) across rooms up to 220 sq ft, with alloy‑magnet drivers, dual DSP processing and fluid‑dynamics bass ports that keep distortion under 0.5%. The Thunder Duo X upgrades to a full 5.1.2 system by adding a wireless neck‑mounted rear speaker, while HDMI 2.1, USB‑C, Bluetooth 5.3 and optical inputs ensure plug‑and‑play compatibility with consoles, PCs and mobile devices.

Pricing starts at $449.99 (£449.99) for the standard Thunder Duo and $549.99 (£549.99) for the X model, sold via OXS’s site and Amazon US/UK. By bundling studio‑grade drivers, true Atmos decoding and a modular wireless expansion path, OXS sets a new benchmark for desktop audio without forcing complex speaker arrays. Gamers can now equip a typical desk with cinematic sound in a single, sleek package.
