Creative GS3
Compact RGB Gaming Soundbar with SuperWide™ technology
Overview
A step-up from your built-in desktop or laptop speakers, the compact Sound Blaster GS3 offers an immersive soundstage with pronounced bass that bellies its size. Your audio experience will also come alive with SuperWide™ technology-engineered for the ultimate movie and gaming experience.
Design
LIGHT UP YOUR SOUND
The soundbar offers multiple advanced lighting presets, Chasers, Aurora, Peak Meter, Glowing, Wave and Cycle, perfect for setting the right mood.
Audio
Immersive Audio
Decked out with powerful full-range racetrack drivers and built-in port tube at the rear of the soundbar, Sound Blaster GS3 deliver consistent audio and great bass! With a peak power of 24W and armed with SuperWide™ technology, the Sound Blaster GS3 stretches audio beyond the limits of conventional acoustic design laws, as it requires a huge amount of acoustic power that’s not possible for a speaker of this size.
Connectivity
Flexible Connectivity
There are several ways you can connect the Sound Blaster GS3 to your PC*, gaming consoles, and mobile devices too. These options range from USB-C, AUX-in cable, to wireless Bluetooth 5.4! You can also enjoy high-quality sound without disturbing others when you connect with headphones directly to the soundbar via the headphone-out port.
*Ensure that the soundbar is connected to the USB-C port directly to achieve optimum volume level. For older laptop versions, try powering the speakers with a wall adapter and connect via AUX-in cable instead.
