Creative Pebble 2.0 USB-Powered Desktop Speakers with Far-Field Drivers and Passive Radiators for PCs and Laptops (Black)

The speaker's build quality is impressively durable, making it a suitable option as a secondary computer speaker. The volume control is both responsive and user-friendly, allowing for precise audio adjustments. However, it is essential to be aware that the audio clarity tends to decrease at higher volume levels. Specifically, when the volume surpasses 80%, the sound quality becomes noticeably compromised. Despite this drawback, given its budget-friendly price and compact design, the speaker offers exceptional value, justifying a rating of 5 out of 5. It remains an excellent choice for its price range and size.

The Creative Pebble are an attractive pair of speakers. The black version does show dust quite readily and the exposed drives make it a bit fragile but if you take care of them then you should be fine.The volume control on the right speaker works really well. I point this out because on a lot of speakers the potentiometer for the volume knob produces an imbalance effect between the two speaker levels at lower volumes but I didn't detect this behavior on the Pebble. The only minor issue here is that the speakers take about four seconds to produce sound once you turn them on and aren't audible instantaneously.As for audio quality, it's acceptable for the price. The treble and upper mid-range performance is strong, which produces a bright, detailed, and airy presentation. The sound is let down by subpar low-mid and bass performance, which is to be expected of such small, low-powered speakers. The bass performance is improved if you sit further than six feet from the speakers but this would be impractical for desk use, which is what these speakers are designed for. Still, for a lot of casual use cases, the audio quality is adequate. The speakers don't get very loud without distorting but, again, that is to be expected.Overall, I think the Creative Pebble are a good pair of budget speakers at an affordable price. I personally don't think you should be getting the V2, V3, or the Plus model as they seem increasingly worse value considering what you're getting in return for the extra price. The base model is the sweet spot in terms of price to performance and is the one I'd recommend to most users on a budget.

My 1 year review.One of the best speakers at this price point. Im happy that I made an amazing purchase for my PC setup. Just give it a month this speaker will sound well. Remember it is a pc speaker, not stereo speaker. if you have the right expectations this is the speaker for you.

Creative Pebble 2.0: Compact Powerhouse with Room for ImprovementThe Creative Pebble 2.0 delivers impressive sound quality for its compact size. The speakers boast a surprisingly deep bass response, which is commendable for their form factor. However, while the bass is present, it lacks the punch and depth that some users might crave, especially at higher volumes. There's a noticeable vibration at maximum volume, which could be improved.Despite these minor shortcomings, the Pebble 2.0 excels in delivering clear and detailed midrange and treble. Vocals sound crisp and instruments are well-defined. The speakers create a surprisingly wide soundstage, making music and movies more immersive.While the overall package is excellent, a slight tuning of the treble could elevate the listening experience. Adding a touch more brilliance would enhance the clarity and sparkle of high-frequency sounds.In conclusion, the Creative Pebble 2.0 is a fantastic choice for desktop audio. It offers excellent value for money and delivers impressive sound quality. With a minor tweak to the treble and bass, it could be an even more formidable contender in its price range.

It looks good and sound clarity is OK for the price, but max volume is very low, can't hear it in high fan speed.

best speakers ever

Nice to hearing….

The media could not be loaded. I tested the sound of my creative Pebble speakers 2.0 USB and I was satisfied. The bass is greater than one would expect from these little guys, each one about the size of a magic eight-ball. You could feel the speakers vibrating to the touch and radiating through the desk, so it's got a little oomph to it. The sound quality was fairly clear and detailed, reasonable enough that I could listen to music comfortably.Cons -1)when you full the volume or louder the music they get annoying and mildely distracting.2) It's also worth noting that you must plug them into both a 3.5mm jack AND a USB-A port to function at all. The USB is power ONLY and the speakers will not work without it, and if you don't want to take up a slot in your computer, you will need to supply your own power brick.Overall, the Creative Labs Pebble 2 speakers offer great value at an entry price point. Would definitely recommend 👍😊
