Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Creative Labs GigaWorks ProGamer G500 was designed to bring the best surround sound to your favorite games. With a THX-certified, 5.1-channel system rated at 310 watts of total RMS power, the G500 is an awesome combination of raw muscle and technical sophistication that will blow you away.
The system is built around a performance-tuned ProGaming subwoofer equipped with twin flared DynaPorts to maximize airflow for the biggest bass bump in the business. The subwoofer truly dwarfs the competition. It combines a huge eight-inch, front-firing, long-throw woofer for chest-pumping low end, and the DyanPorts deliver a cleaner, bigger, and more evenly dispersed bass. On the back of the subwoofer you'll find a variety of connections, such as an auxiliary input to easily connect an MP3 player, so you can listen to your favorite tunes while you play your favorite games.
 The ProGamer G500 utilizes DynaPorts to deliver awesome, 5.1-channel surround sound. |
Creative Labs doesn't scrimp on the satellites either. Each of the five satellite speakers (center, two front, and two rear) are also built with flared DynaPorts for extended lower midrange sound. And each performance-tuned speaker has a three-inch, full-range driver for high-quality sound. These speakers are also built with keyhole wall mounts, speaker wire spring clips, and industry-standard 0.25-inch-20 connectors for use with speaker stands and wall mount hardware. With this powerful speaker system in place, surround sound will envelop you and enhance your gaming experience -- you'll hear bombastic explosions without distortion and the finest whispers with remarkable clarity. Lastly, the system comes equipped with a PowerTouch wired controller with premium features, such as mute, independent level adjustments, and CMSS upmix (from stereo to 5.1-channel surround sound).
What's in the Box
Two front satellite speakers, one center satellite speaker, two rear satellite speakers, one subwoofer, one PowerTouch wired controller, three 6.5-foot (2-meter) cables, two 16.5-foot (5-meter) cables, five removable speaker grilles, four desktop speaker stands, one down-facing center speaker stand, one 5.1 audio cable, one video game adapter, one power cable, one quick start leaflet, and warranty and technical support booklet.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Creative Labs Gigaworks Pro Gamer G500 5.1-Channel Speaker System (Personal Computers)
Update: I did buy the logitech 5300 and although it was OK it did not compare to the Creative so I have now purchased my 3rd progamer 500. Hopefully this one will last longer (it has been 3 months so far). I have upgraded my rating to 3 stars because without question this system has the best sound. I just wish it would last longer.
I really like the sound from the Creative Pro Gamer 500 system. I also have 2 logitech 5500 systems and the creative sound is definitely superior. Unfortunately the first creative system I bought quit after slightly more than 1 year. Since I liked the sound a lot I bought a second one. Now it has quit too after about 7 months. The problem on both systems was overheating of the subwoofer. The logitech systems have large heat sinks to dissipate the heat which the creative system does not have. This is probably why my logitech systems have been working for years while the creative systems seem to fail early. I am going to try mounting a fan in the case but this will probably mess up the great sound. After 2 failures in a row with creative systems, next time I will buy logitech.

Wonderful Sound System, Great Price And Boom For Your Buck,

This review is from: Creative Labs Gigaworks Pro Gamer G500 5.1-Channel Speaker System (Personal Computers)
I own these speakers and have paired them with a X-Fi Platinum. Just awesome. The satellites are clear, the bass is booming and the surround is amazing. They are great for movies and music and INCREDIBLE for games. For the price, these stand out as a truly amazing speaker system for the PC. Sitting at roughly $200 these speakers are powerful, yet not too powerful. I live in an apartment. I can hardly turn this system up to even 50% levels most of the time. What are normal people going to do with Logitech's MONSTER of a sub-woofer (over 500W, WHAT??). Additionally Logitech's system's sub-woofer is so powerful that you need to place your computer tower a good ways away as the magnets within will actually screw up your computer. Here's the bottom-line: I wanted these speakers for my PC. Not for my TV, not for my DVD Player, not as a home theater system. The G500 were NOT designed for that. They were designed to be awesome PC speakers and that's what they are. One last note, for those of you not looking to run speaker wires and mount the rear satellites on the wall, these speakers also have stands (which you need to purchase separately). This makes the surround experience much easier to deal with. Check out the MT1200 creative stands, its worth it.

Amazing,

This review is from: Creative Labs Gigaworks Pro Gamer G500 5.1-Channel Speaker System (Personal Computers)
I got these speakers yesterday and WOW, they are amazing, extremely loud and crystal clear. In fact these are soo loud, the volume up half way made my sisters pictures turn the side, and pictures on th e desk fall off. These Speakers are perfect for the price.
Pro: crystal clear easy setup Super loud awesome surround sound Cons: Wires to speakers are a little to short especially for rear (for my situation 15ft x 15ft room)
