The OXS Storm G3 wireless gaming headset instantly earned my attention when it initially came my way.
That said, its measly good points dont make up for its cheap-feeling build quality and cheap sound.
To put it mildly, it feels cheap.
The metal attachments connecting each cup to the leather-bound headband feel flimsy and almost sharp to the touch.
But also, the soft-to-the-touch headband with its finely done red stitching gives the headset a more professional edge.
Just enough to distract me from its more flimsy elements.
Features
As an under $100 headset, the OXS Storm G2 isnt swimming in features.
(Though they do mention that in the small print.
To alternate between Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, you have to use the switch on the right ear cup.
While its easily identifiable, with BT and 2.4G written at either end, its not fun to use.
But, to put it bluntly, everything in the game sounded pretty lifeless.
Its faint output did at least make games with a more top-resonating soundscape sound okay.
Most notably the OST from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Sunshine were passable.
When not gaming, I used the Storm G2 to listen to a magnitude of bands.
What did take me aback was the quality of the microphone.
