The American audio brand OXS has made waves in the audio-visual entertainment and gaming markets with its surround sound Soundbar series in recent years. Now, they've officially launched their first-ever gaming headset, the Storm A2, in Hong Kong, continuing their strategy of blending performance with cost-effectiveness. The Storm A2 is equipped with the brand's proprietary Xspace 7.1 spatial audio technology, creating a 360° sound field that enhances the immersive experience for gaming and movies. Whether it's pinpointing gunshots in action games or capturing atmospheric details in film scenes, the audio presentation promises a remarkably realistic sound experience.
The headset is specifically optimized for gaming scenarios, featuring wireless latency technology of less than 20ms, making it almost impossible to notice any delay between sound and visuals—perfect for fast-paced competitive games. The Storm A2 also comes equipped with active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode, allowing users to seamlessly switch between an immersive listening experience or an open, ambient sound, adapting to various situations.
To enhance cross-platform usability, the Storm A2 offers a dual-purpose USB-A and USB-C dongle, supporting PlayStation 5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and the upcoming Switch 2, while also being compatible with a variety of smartphones and tablets. It can connect via USB-C wired mode or Bluetooth 5.4, allowing for more flexible switching between different devices.
The Storm A2 is equipped with a 3000mAh battery, offering an impressive battery life of about 70 hours. It supports usage while charging, so you don't have to worry about interruptions during long gaming sessions or phone calls. The headphones feature a detachable super-cardioid directional microphone and incorporate 5 mic ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) technology, ensuring clear and stable voice communication even in noisy environments. This makes them perfect for various scenarios, including voice battles, online meetings, and even live streaming.
The product is designed to cater to everyday usage scenarios. Once the microphone is removed, the Storm A2 can function as a regular Bluetooth headset, enhanced with ANC noise cancellation and bass-boosting capabilities. This means you can enjoy a richer, more immersive sound experience while listening to music, making it just as impressive for outdoor use. The headphones feature 40mm dynamic drivers, supporting a broad frequency response from 20Hz to 40kHz, with a sensitivity exceeding 98dB and an impedance of 32Ω, ensuring stable sound quality.
Weighing in at approximately 320 grams, these full-coverage headphones are lightweight and designed to minimize pressure during wear. They charge via a USB-C interface, taking about 3 hours for a full charge—simple and convenient. Priced at $899, the Storm A2 stands out in functionality, accessories, and multi-platform compatibility, making it a highly cost-effective choice for gamers in the current market.
