Creative Technology has launched a small soundbar, the Sound Blaster GS5, designed to occupy minimal space. This makes it perfect for desktop setups, but it can also be used with televisions and other devices.
Impressive Audio Features
The Sound Blaster GS5 features advanced full-range racetrack drivers along with an integrated port tube. It boasts a peak power of 60W, which is adequate for desktop applications. Thanks to its SuperWide technology, the soundbar enhances the audio experience by broadening the soundstage for a more immersive and lifelike listening experience. There are two distinct SuperWide modes available: "Near Field," which is optimized for close-range desk use, and "Far Field," which suits larger rooms.
Customizable Design and Connectivity
Underneath the Sound Blaster GS5, Creative Technology has added adjustable RGB lighting, allowing users to customize it to their preferences. The soundbar includes a variety of connectivity options at the back, such as USB-C, AUX-in, and an optical input. It also supports Bluetooth 5.3, enabling wireless connections not only to desktop PCs and laptops but also to televisions, gaming consoles, smartphones, and other devices. A remote control is also included with the soundbar.
Pricing and Availability
The Creative Technology Sound Blaster GS5 soundbar is now available for pre-order directly from the manufacturer at a price of $69.99. For those who prefer immediate options, soundbars from Rythflo are recommended.
