When you cover PC gaming hardware and peripherals for a living, it's quite easy to amass an unhealthy amount of weird tech. It becomes easy to forget what you've stashed away in your closet at any moment, so you can imagine my surprise when I unearthed something pretty wild during a recent spring cleaning. The Panasonic SoundSlayer Wearable Immersive Gaming Speaker System, or SoundSlayer WIGSS for short.
This wearable speaker, which looks like one of those power-dampening doodads the bad guys put on the X-men to take away their powers, was released in late 2021. I didn't get my hands on a review sample until later the following year while I was on paternity leave. So, of course, I never got around to covering it and putting it away for safekeeping in my messy closet the way a squirrel hides away acorns for the winter.
