If you were a PC user, it would be easy getting a DAC, amp, or sound card to satisfy your audio needs. But why isn't it the same for console users? With 30 years of legacy and technical expertise in PC audio, we are venturing beyond the PC and into gaming consoles, and the Sound Blaster G3 is our answer. Designed to be a fuss-free, driverless audio upgrade for your gaming consoles, the G3 is meant to provide users with premium gaming features without having to break the bank.
Making our first foray into gaming audio on consoles, we debut our latest GameVoice Mix for game and voice chat balance capability, a customizable EQ preset with custom-tuned Footsteps Enhancer, and on-the-fly audio adjustments without having to exit your game's screen.
If all you have ever known is the default audio on your consoles, try the G3. We'll let its performance speak for itself.
One Hand. All Controls.
Built with form and functionality in mind, the G3 provides direct access to the independent mic and volume controls on each side of the device. While you're busy maneuvering in-game with one hand on the controller, you can make mic and volume adjustments instinctively on the other with just a single hand grip!
Hear Better.
At the core of G3 lies a sound chip that supports high-definition audio performance, with the capabilities to drive studio-grade headphones of up to 300Ω. Combined with a super compact and lightweight form factor, this is the audio upgrade that's been missing from your console's setup.
Featuring an in-ear design that reduces background noise significantly, you can now enjoy clearer audio playback from your iPhone and iPod® player with the Creative EP-630i stereo headset.
Powered by quality Neodymium drivers to offer high-quality audio reproduction with extraordinary bass, the EP-630i is ideal for speech and digital music playback on your iPhone and iPod player. What's more, get absolute convenience with the one-touch control located on the in-line microphone - which offers you hands-free communication with your iPhone.
At around £55/$60, the Sound Blaster G3 is a significant investment. However, it is something that you can use with a wide range of consoles and computers, or even Android phones, and you'll get some benefit out of it even for listening to music or playing non-competitive games. For that reason, if you want to take your audio quality seriously and you're using wired headphones, the G3 is a sensible acquisition.
For $60, this is an excellent addition to your gaming experience, especially if you have cheaper headphones, or, if you are like me, you play your games through a monitor with terrible speakers. If you are a fan of gaming audio but don't have the best setup right now, it's worth your time to pick one of these up today.
4/5 Stars
If you’ve got great headphones that cost a small fortune, they’ll ensure you’re able to get the most out of them. I’ll admit, not everyone needs a good amp, some just don’t care. However, if you want to spark life into your movies, music and games, this is a pretty affordable way to do it!
The G3 plugs direct into my laptop's USB-C port and immediately improved the audio capabilities of my work station. 1. Headphones and speakers sounded better with purer silence - no electronic hiss! 2. Zoom and Google Meet conferences are clearer for my audience with the G3's mic-in. 3. Enjoy clean, high resolution recordings for media productions. The unit is even capable of recording live system sound as an input! Overall the G3 punches hard well above its weight! and I am not even using it for gaming yet.
Great companion to my SHP9500.
Amazing product
