Creative Technology and TGIF have teamed up to offer gamers the perfect balance of immersive audio and ergonomic comfort. By merging Creative's industry-leading audio technology with TGIF's expertise in designing high-performance ergonomic gaming chairs, this partnership kicks off with the launch of the T0 Aurena gaming chair speaker system - engineered to deliver superior audio and comfort for users during extended gaming and entertainment sessions.

Debuting at CES 2025, the innovative speaker system features Creative's SoundBlaster CMSS3D+ technology, delivering rich, multi-dimensional audio that brings games and movies to life. This pioneering technology can create a surround sound experience within a compact desktop setup, offering a wider, more immersive soundstage for a lifelike audio experience. Gamers can expect to feel every moment in vivid detail—from the precision of footsteps in first-person shooter games to the cinematic depth of movie soundtracks—all while relaxing in the comfort of TGIF's expertly designed ergonomic gaming chairs.



"Teaming up with TGIF opens up exciting new possibilities for gaming audio," said Song Siow Hui, CEO of Creative. "The T0 Aurena gaming chair speaker system is just the beginning, and we're eager for gamers to experience a whole new level of immersion."

"TGIF is excited to work with Creative to push the boundaries of what a gaming chair can offer," added Sophia Niu and Leo Lian, founders of TGIF. "The T0 Aurena gaming chair speaker system is designed to deliver the perfect balance of comfort and audio, enabling gamers to immerse themselves even more deeply in gaming sessions. It offers the highest level of ergonomic seating experience along with unparalleled audio sensations. This will completely revolutionize the gaming experience for gamers."

Pricing and Availability
The T0 Aurena gaming chair speaker system is slated to be launched in Q2 2025.

What's stopping me from zip-tying a BT speaker to the back of my chair?
(and configure it as LR - RR, If I completely ignore that I can go the headphones/sets that can do 5.1 route, for less)

EDIT: Sweat means the game is challenging, not the headset's fault. :p (j/k, I know 25ºC + 75% Rel. is enough to just get drenched by existing in the first place)
