Creative Technology has introduced a compact soundbar, the Sound Blaster GS5, which takes up very little space. This makes it ideal for desktop use, but it can also be used on TVs and other devices.

The Sound Blaster GS5 is equipped with advanced full-range racetrack drivers and an integrated port tube. Peak power is rated at 60W, which should be sufficient for desktop use. With SuperWide technology, the soundbar is designed to expand the soundscape, making the audio experience more immersive and realistic. The soundbar is equipped with two different SuperWide modes: "Near Field" is intended for use on the desk and thus a sitting position in close proximity to the soundbar, while "Far Field" is designed for use in larger rooms.

On the underside of the Sound Blaster GS5, Creative Technology has installed RGB lighting, which is adjustable and can be adapted to your own wishes. Connectivity options are located on the back, ranging from USB-C, AUX-in and an optical input. Bluetooth 5.3 is also available, meaning that the soundbar can be wirelessly connected not only to a desktop PC or notebook, but also to many other devices such as televisions, games consoles, smartphones and more. A remote control is included.

The new Creative Technology Sound Blaster GS5 soundbar is already available for pre-order directly from the manufacturer at a price of $69.99. Those not willing to wait are advised to take a look at sound bars from Rythflo.
