For too long, serious gamers have faced an uncomfortable dilemma: either sacrifice immersion for comfort with standard desktop speakers or endure headaches and hot ears with closed-back gaming headsets just to gain competitive audio precision.
The OXS Thunder Duo series is here to end that compromise.
Introducing the OXS Thunder Duo Max, a modular, wireless, and certified Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 spatial sound system engineered specifically for desktop gaming and content creation.
This system delivers 360-degree, studio-grade clarity and real vertical audio, transforming your desktop into a precise, clutter-free sound battlefield.
If you’re ready for professional-grade sound that adapts to every scenario, from competitive play to cinematic relaxation, without the mess of cables, the Thunder Duo Max is the revolutionary audio ecosystem you’ve been waiting for.

- Preset modes, a customizable EQ, and adjustable channel levels help tailor competitive clarity or cinematic impact to your space.
- Kickstarter bundles (Max/X/S) position the system as a modular upgrade path, letting users buy now and expand later.
True Spatial Sound: Harnessing the Power of 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos
The core of the Thunder Duo Max experience is its dedication to true spatial audio. Certified by Dolby Atmos, the system utilizes real, physical speaker channels, not just virtualized effects, to create a fully dimensional 3D sound field.
The 5.1.2 channel breakdown is clear: five main speakers (front left/right, center, and rear left/right), one low-frequency channel (subwoofer/combined output), and two sky channels. The result is an unprecedented level of audio precision and immersion on your desktop.
Verticality and Precision with Dual Sky Channels
Traditional speakers only push sound horizontally, straight toward you. What sets the Thunder Duo Max apart are its dual upward-firing drivers, known as the Sky Channels (the “2” in 5.1.2).
These precision-tuned drivers fire sound straight up to your ceiling, where it bounces back down, creating authentic overhead effects. This is the magic behind true three-dimensional Dolby Atmos audio.
In games, this allows you to hear helicopters, explosions, or environmental sounds exactly where they occur in the game world, helping you pinpoint enemies approaching from above with immediate competitive precision.
The OXS Xpace Algorithm for Competitive Clarity
For serious gamers and creators, clarity is non-negotiable. The Thunder Duo Max features a powerful dual DSP system that combines Dolby Atmos decoding with the proprietary OXS Xspace™ sound algorithm. This delivers monitor-grade clarity and accurate spatial immersion across all forms of entertainment.
The drivers are tuned to studio-level accuracy by audio engineers from top audio brands like Harman Kardon, Klipsch, JBL, and Jamo. With total harmonic distortion (THD) remaining under 0.5%, you are guaranteed clean, accurate, and highly detailed sound.
Wireless Freedom: Solving the Clutter Problem
One of the biggest obstacles to traditional 5.1 or 7.1 setups is the inevitable cable clutter and the hassle of mounting rear speakers. The Thunder Duo system solves this through smart, modular, and wireless design.
The Revolutionary Satellite Neck Speaker
The rear channels, essential for true 360-degree immersion, are provided by the Satellite Neck Speaker. This isn’t a gimmick, it’s an engineered solution that keeps things simple.
- True Rear Channel: It contains dual physical drivers that create genuine rear-channel separation, allowing you to accurately place sounds happening to your sides and behind you.
- Comfort & Convenience: It slides over your current chair headrest or can be used on a sofa, providing soft cushioning. And it eliminates the need to drill holes or set up speaker stands in your room.
- Low Latency: It connects to the main speakers via a low-latency 5.8 GHz wireless connection, ensuring precise timing with no noticeable lag, and features a 12-hour battery capacity for extended sessions.
Deep Bass Without the Wires (Thunder Sub)
For users who demand powerful, room-shaking bass, the optional Thunder Sub (included in the Max and S configurations) provides the low-frequency effects (LFE) channel.
While it requires a power cable, the signal is transmitted wirelessly, maintaining a clutter-free environment. With a 5.25″ woofer and 80W RMS output, the Thunder Sub ensures explosions, engine roars, and deep footsteps are felt as much as they are heard.
Engineered for Performance Across All Platforms
The Thunder Duo Max is designed for technical prowess and universal compatibility, whether you are a console player, PC enthusiast, or content creator.
Studio-Grade Accuracy and Power
The system offers substantial acoustic reserves. The two front speakers deliver a power output of up to 110 watts each, significantly exceeding the power of many standard gaming speakers.
This power, combined with long air-duct engineering and a studio-level frequency response, ensures professional grade sound that excels in content creation, mixing, and editing.
The system achieves a linear frequency performance across the spectrum, guaranteeing that every detailed sound is reproduced cleanly and accurately.
Seamless Connectivity: From Console to PC
The wide range of I/O options ensures the Thunder Duo Max adapts to virtually any modern setup, allowing for instant source switching without re-cabling.
- HDMI 2.1 with eARC: Ideal for connecting high-end consoles (PS5, Xbox Series) and TVs, supporting high frame rates up to 4K@120 Hz.
- USB-C: Provides straightforward connection to gaming PCs, handhelds like the Switch or Steam Deck, and mobile devices.
- Optical Input: Connects easily to multimedia devices like projectors.
- Bluetooth 5.3: Offers low-latency wireless connectivity for music streaming from your phone.
This diversity means you can jump from a competitive shooter on your PC to a cinematic experience on your PS5 seamlessly.
Beyond Gaming: Customization for Every Listener
The Thunder Duo system is versatile, offering a balanced frequency response that enhances movies, music, and studio work, not just games.
Tailored Sound Modes and Custom EQ
The system comes equipped with multiple factory audio presets, including Game Mode, Movie Mode, Studio Mode, and Music Mode, to optimize performance for different content types.
For true audiophiles, the companion OXS App allows for comprehensive customization. Users can utilize the six-band customizable EQ to create their own sound profiles and adjust the volume and gain of individual channels, including the Sky Channels and Rear Channels, to perfectly suit their room and preferences.
Dynamic RGB Lighting to Match Your Setup
To complete the immersive gaming aesthetic, the speakers feature configurable RGB lighting integrated into six illuminated rings.
Controlled via the OXS App or the remote, users can choose from 8 motion patterns and 50 colors, with presets like Flame, Lightning, and Flow.
The system also offers a beatsync dynamic mode that flashes along with your music, providing a cohesive visual experience with extremely low latency.
