Gaming has become a massive category in consumer A/V, generating billions of dollars for manufacturers and nobody expects the segment to lose any momentum over the next decade. High-end audio should be so lucky to have this level of interest.
Gaming headsets are going to be very popular on Amazon Prime Day and we have a great deal on a new model that looks rather promising. Following up on their release of the OXS Thunder Pro Gaming Sound System and S3 TV Soundbar, OXS continue to expand their inexpensive offerings with the Storm G2 Gaming Headset.
