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 ProGamer G500 utilizes DynaPorts to deliver awesome, 5.1-channel surround sound.
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.

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).

2 out of 5 stars Stopped working.......2007-11-24

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.

2 out of 5 stars Sound is ok but ....... .......2007-10-31

Nice set of speakers and good features, but a big annoyance is there .... which is: the VERY VERY short speakers cables!! Yes, they are short to the extent that you should NEVER expect that you will take the toy out of the box and start enjoying! Instead, you should expect some effort to be done first to seek some electronic technician help to create a special extension for the supplied cables!!!

Big shame!!

5 out of 5 stars This speaker system cranks.......2007-07-16

Believe it or not, I was directed from a Circuit City sales kid not buy the Harmon Kardon speakers system at the store and stick with Creative (which they didnt carry). I was impressed that he actually steered me right. I am more impressed with this system. I had an older Creative 2.1 and this is a signifcant upgrade. I'm not a Gamer - I do custom mixing (MixMeister) for fun on the home PC and this upgrade was worth it. Huge base for the money.

5 out of 5 stars Great sound quality!.......2007-02-20

Everything sounds great on these speakers, and truly the sound quality shines with piano and jazz music being played through my bluegears sound card. The bass is crisp and even when it is cranked down, the sound quality is phenomenal. I would recommend this product to any audio freak out there. You can't get much better than this without spending a heck of a lot more money for minimal sound improvements.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-07-17

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)
