Portable external console gaming USB-C DAC amp for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac
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 Sound Blaster 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 Sound Blaster G3. We’ll let its performance speak for itself.”
One Hand. All Controls
The Sound Blaster 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 and Be Heard with Mic-monitoring
Hate it when you are chatting with the team, but you can’t tell if you sound too soft or too loud? Simply switch on the mic-monitoring feature via the mobile app, and control how you want to be heard, while hearing yourself. And when communications are unnecessary, simply mute your mic directly via the switch on the Sound Blaster G3.
On-The-Fly Mobile Remote
Without having to unplug or exit your game, remotely control your sound settings through the Creative mobile app on your phone. Make instantaneous bass and treble adjustments, further customize your Footsteps Enhancer mode, or even adjust your volume and mic controls when your Sound Blaster G3 is out of reach – all you need is Bluetooth connectivity.
Driverless Audio Upgrade
USB-C plug-and-play audio upgrade for gaming consoles with USB audio. There’s absolutely no fiddling with extra settings or installation to get started.
Our latest debut – GameVoice Mix
You have that pair of headphones. It’s your absolute favorite, but why do you need to fork out so much more in order to get access to that ONE feature you covet?
The Sound Blaster G3 debuts our latest GameVoice Mix*, a gaming feature often found only in products that are priced at a premium. The G3’s GameVoice Mix gives you game audio / chat balance capabilities – all without having to let go of your existing headphones or hurting your wallet.
Without leaving your game screen, our GameVoice Mix volume dial allows you to easily increase your voice chat volume during a raid to hear your team better, or decrease the chatter and amp up your gaming audio during a particularly climatic scene on your game – simply plug in the G3 via the USB-C and Optical / Line-in port to better your gameplay.
*This feature is available for PS5, PS4, PS4 Pro, PC, and Mac only. PS5 requires an additional (not included) HDMI to Optical converter. Our webpage offers the full setup guide for GameVoice Mix on the mentioned platforms for easy reference.
Perfect for both work and play
The Sound Blaster G3 doubles up as great add-on to improve your conference calls and making sure that you sound more professional while communicating clearly all the time. Features like CrystalVoice lets you hear and be heard clearly with background noise reduction and acoustic echo cancellation.

I recently purchased the Creative Sound Blaster G3 and couldn’t be more pleased with the sound quality. It is a great value for the price and features the latest audio technologies. The USB-C connector makes it easy to plug and play with any compatible device. The G3 has a range of features, including an integrated headphone amplifier, an X-Fi Crystalizer, and an on-board DAC. The sound quality is excellent and I was very impressed with the clarity of the sound. The G3 also has a range of software features that allow you to customize the sound according to your preferences. All in all, the Creative Sound Blaster G3 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an affordable, high-quality audio solution for their computer or other device. Highly recommended!

It does what it advertises.The reason I bought this was to use with PC & PS5.
When using with a PC overall the sound has improved,the SBX profiles does transform the sound and makes movies/action games more enjoyable but at the same time it does change the audio when using the SBX profiles,with movies SBX does seem superior but with songs I feel it is a hit & miss.I feel that for music it is best to disable all SBX/equalizer,virtual 7.1 profiles and just use stereo mode. With older games it does improve the sound but for newer games with dedicated HRTF/Headphone profiles I prefer the games audio engine. Another good feature is the microphone,have used in teams/zoom calls and voice is clear.
Cons when using with a PC, random times audio starts stuttering and to fix it have to switch audio quality to lower sample and switch back.There seems to be no new firmware or feature update ,maybe the product is no longer in active support.
When using with PS5 I do not think it adds much than what the builtin controller audio jack can deliver. Also the sound output seems to be 50% lower(the loudness issue seems to be on the console side because it appears console is limiting USB audio) but still it would have been better if we had some high gain option,I believe there is a gain setting but I could not hear much of a difference.I do not use the game to chat mix so cannot say much ,I only play single player offline games and wanted to use some high end headset but it seems that the loudness is an issue with PS5.
Cons when using with PS5 via usb port, the SBX profiles do not work only eq works which barely makes any difference. The gain setting in mobile app does not seem to do much and the volume output level seems to be very low.
I hope that creative can find some fix for this product for below issues:
1)improve audio loudness when using with PS5.
2)add SBX option for PS5(if possible).
3)Fix the random audio stutter mentioned above.
4)Add options for people to create/share their own SBX game specific profiles.
Personally I think I should have gone with G6 instead however it seems to be overpriced for Indian market.
