June 12, 2024 - OXS is excited to announce that our OXS Thunder Pro Dolby Atmos® 5.1.2 Gaming Soundbar has been awarded the "Best Desktop Soundbar" by the world's top-tier media WIRED. Their recent article, "The Best Computer Speakers for Jamming Out in Your Home Office", praised the Thunder Pro after months of testing various speakers across a range of preferences and budgets. We're proud to be recognized alongside brands like SteelSeries, Razer, Logitech G and Creative.
Surprising Sound Quality
Simon Hill, the author of the WIRED article, was initially unsure what to expect from a soundbar with no separate subwoofer in a compact design and futuristic style. However, he was immediately impressed by the powerful bass when Dead Prez's "Hip Hop" kicked in, bouncing the passive radiators up and down.
"The sound is expansive, the bass is far better than it has any right to be without a large subwoofer, and the highs are surprisingly crisp." Simon remarked, approving the sound performance of the OXS Thunder Pro . In another section of the article, discussing the Razer Leviathan V2 Pro under "Best Soundbar and Subwoofer Combo," he noted that "Overall sound quality, even with the added whump of the subwoofer, falls short of the OXS Thunder Pro."
Thunder Pro is Dolby Atmos® certified, creating a truly immersive sound space through 5 front and side channels, 2 up-firing channels and 1 extra built-in bass unit. This 5.1.2 soundbar also boasts 3 distinct gaming EQ modes – FPS, RAC and MOBA – for optimized sound performance in different genres.
"The first-person shooter mode offered excellent spatial sound, allowing me to hear the footsteps and grunts of a cloaked Elite in Halo Infinite just in time to avoid being impaled. The surround sound for movies is also great." Simon praised.
Perfect Size and Packed with Features
With its compact design, OXS Thunder Pro is 24 inches long and just 3 inches tall. It fits perfectly under Simon's monitor, saving the desk space.
Thunder Pro comes with a toggle control - a wired control dial. "The wired control unit lights up, acts as a volume dial and power button, and has EQ and mode buttons on the back. The design may be ostentatious for some, though you can turn the lights off." Also, the remote control has all the settings you need.
"Connectivity is comprehensive with USB-C, 3.5-mm aux-in, Bluetooth 5.0, two HDMI ports (one eARC), a 3.5-mm mic-in, and a 3.5-mm stereo jack." This versatility ensures compatibility with game consoles, PCs, TVs and phones.
WIRED's Recommendation
OXS Thunder Pro is a truly impressive desktop soundbar. WIRED recommends this Best Desktop Soundbar for anyone seeking an all-in-one solution, especially if your primary activities are gaming and watching movies.
