The Colo GCS by Cololight is a 7.1.2 channel audio setup that wraps your gaming chair in sound. Instead of scattering 11 speakers – seven channels, one subwoofer and two overhead, around your room, Cololight packs them into a U-shaped ring that straps onto your chair’s headrest.
The surround sound system delivers directional audio, enhancing spatial awareness for a more engaging gaming experience. Certified for Hi-Res Audio, it captures fine details like footsteps and ambient sounds and its design creates the impression that the sound is coming straight from the screen, per the brand.

The Colo GCS system combines overhead and near-field speaker tech to deliver precise sound positioning without relying on room reflections. This ensures rich audio details while maintaining the spaciousness of speakers and the clarity of headphones, surpassing the soundstage performance of traditional headphones.
The system offers three distinct modes for different uses. Universal Mode balances audio across all channels, making it suitable for general listening. FPS Mode minimises low-frequency resonance and enhances footstep sounds, making it ideal for gaming. Theatre Mode emphasises bass frequencies in the centre and front channels for movie watching.
