Creative Pebble Pro, 2.0 USB-C Desktop Speakers, RGB, Black

These are very capable speakers for their size and price range. They offer broad range of applications and come in quite complete package.Build quality of the speakers are excellent. Nothing look low cost or cutting corner. The included cables are high quality and color matching with the speakers. The woofers look premium.The speakers offer complete features that should meet most use cases that range from Bluetooth connection, wired digital data input connection (USB connection) as well as analog (via Aux) input. It also provides headphone as well as Mic. inputs. This should cover most use cases for a desktop environment for work setting as well as for entertaining.The package even includes cables for all of the supported input interface as well as addition USB-C to USB-C charging cable for optional external power source to boost power output (the charger isn't included).Operational is typical with main volume control knob and a couple of buttons for controlling sound level, connectivity selection, on/off and RGB lighting control. It has one LED indicator for connection/connectivity status (in the case of Bluetooth connection). Since there are less knob and buttons to control various feature, typical multi function per knob / buttons are employed here via duration of pressing on knob and buttons. The instruction booklets illustrated the usage or setting very clearly. It should not be difficult to follow. This isn't new for modern devices with many features and few knob or buttons.With digital stepping volume control, this speaker connected to USB. to Windows operating system retains volume level through power cycles as opposed coming with default full power or not power at all after power up again. This may be the combination of Windows than the speaker. With MacOS this may behave differently, however.The speakers do not need any. driver at all. You can install application/driver from Creative Lab but for this speaker it does not offer much in term of features. It might still be good to have it installed for bug fixes in the future.Sound quality is very good for this size of woofer. I was surprised by how clear the sound is from dialog (during game play) to music listening.For music listening I can hear certain sounds even with 2-3 time higher prices desktop speakers that I have do not offer. The sounds are so clear. However, with such single woofer arrangement, I think this is as good as it gets from such small speakers. The claim from Creative Lab about their clarity is true. However, with such limiting size of the woofer and form factor of the entire speakers, there is a downside from sound quality (music listening). If you are critical music listener, you may notice the sound isn't full or warm as higher end or a bit bigger size. The sounds are not hash at all and annoying high pitch ending of sound or any noise/hum/hiss at all. If you love deep bass with heavy hitter at the bottom end, these speakers definitely are not for you. But. for general listening or work or gaming, the speakers are excellent in my opinion. I just wish Creative Lab offers subwoofer output to fill some of these lacking in sound (I know they have different package but either you go with higher price package or stay with no migration path as this package).Just to note, the speakers only support CD quality sampling rate and bit wide via USB input. I think this is for most good enough. Higher sampling rate or wider may offer better clarity or sounds but that isn't for this price range speakers and in practice I suspect many may not be able to tell them apart from blind listening test.For gaming, dialog during gaming is so clear and the pair should be a good match. I am just a casual gaming and only certain genres so my comment here may not cary much weight.I compared analog input and digital input (USB), the sound quality from USB input is much better to my ears. Having extra power source than default from USB input offers some improvement on dynamic range and some bass. If you have compatible charger, it is worth to give it a try to see whether it is worth extra power adding to your setup or not. I leave mine on.Overall, for the size, price range, quality of the speakers and the sounds these are very capable and good value pair of speakers.

I'm pretty impressed with these speakers, I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile but I've had a home recording studio for many years, listen to music a lot and am familiar with a lot of different speakers at varying price points. First off, these look nice, they have a clean modern aesthetic, a lot of desktop speakers look ugly IMO. The main reason I bought these is that my desk space is very tight and I have to place my speakers behind my computer monitor more or less, and these worked out perfectly in that scenario.These Pebble Pro and Pebble V3 speakers have the following:- USB Audio & Power- Bluetooth (5.3 on the Pro and 5.0 on the V3)- 3.5mm Aux-In (keep in mind for the less expensive Pebble models the 3.5mm Aux-In is your audio source from an external device, i.e. computer, phone, etc. the USB connection is for power)- 2.25" Speaker Drivers (the less expensive Pebble models have 2" speaker drivers)- The Pebble Pro also has a 4-pole headphone/headset port and 3-pole microphone port, the V3 doesn'tI connect these to the computer with USB C for audio and use a separate 35W USB C PD adapter to get the full potential wattage out of these speakers, the overall volume and frequency response is respectable, they're very clear, not muddy, and they put out some good volume and bass response, keep in mind it's a 2.25" speaker driver, so it's going to have its limitations, but generally smaller speakers sound boxy or muddy on bass prominent music, these do not. They also sound very good for dialog, I watch a lot of YouTube, listen to a lot of podcasts, and am on Zoom or Teams calls regularly for work and they're great for all of those uses. I'm a sucker for ambient/mood lighting, so I like the RGB addition, if that doesn't matter to you, just get the V3's and save a few bucks. The Creative App has limited functionality for these, doesn't have any control over the RGB, for my use case, the extra features of the Pebble Pro are definitely worth the price IMO.Creative has a good reputation in regards to their products holding up over time making it good value for what you get, whichever Pebble model you end up buying, exercise due diligence, I'm always surprised by people who make purchases without fully educating themselves on the product, whether it's $25 or $250, take a bit of time to research the specs of what you are buying and make sure it meets your specific needs, we've all got better things to do with our time than make Amazon returns 😜

These speakers sound better than I expected for their size. Dialogue comes through clear, which is great for videos and calls, and the bass has a decent punch without being muddy thanks to the BassFlex design. Setup was easy with USB C, and Bluetooth conncetivity is solid once paired. The RGB lighting is clean and modern, not over the top, and it looks really good on a desk, especially at night.The downsides are mostly about limits. The bass is good for compact speakers but will not replace a real subwoofer, and at higher volumes the low end can lose a bit of responce. The RGB controls are also pretty basic, so do not expect deep customization. Still, for the price and footprint, these are a strong choice if you want good sound, a minimalist look, and some suble flair without taking up much space. Good value!

Surprisingly high quality for the price point. Crisp sound. I hate wearing headphones, so these are a great alternative on my desktop. NOT for filling a room with sound: creates an intimate listening space at your computer if you separate the speakers as much as possible, and keep them close. If you use an equalizer, like in Apple Music, and emphasize the bass, it's not bad for small speakers. I find them better for music than for Zoom voice, etc. IMPORTANT: Make sure they have enough power. Best to use the dedicated USB-C power input, rather than run off your computer's USB port. You can connect via aux or bluetooth. I couldn't get aux to work right, so bluetooth seems fine.

Oh my goodness. These are actually incredible!! I can't believe the sound quality on these cheaper speakers. I took out my Harmon Kardon speakers because I just didn't want the big base sound, and it was to bulky on my desk. So I searched, and searched, looked at many reviews on many other speakers, until finally landing on this one. I decided to take the chance due to so many good reviews. I can now say for 100% these great reviews are true. I absolutely LOVE these, small, but with BIG sound. I can't even turn them up as loud as I would love. I have problems with my ears hurting with loud sounds ,so it's unfortunate when I want to listen to Japanese music and Zen. Lol. If you are like me, trying to decide what is a great speaker, and affordable, these are the ones for you! I can't wait to try my games on it! I was so afraid they would sound tinny, but no! Not at all! Just amazing, incredible sound! SO glad I took this chance on these speakers!

Sound is great, but the green color is fugly on the Pebble Pro. I hated the green color so much and I was so annoyed that there was no black or even white option of these speakers, I returned them. If you have a well lit room, the forest green colored speakers are awful. How and why the Creative R&D team or engineers or marketing people thought that making green the ONLY option on the Pebble Pro, leaves me beyond confused and frustrated. These would be my all-time favorite PC speakers if they weren't this horrible green color. Creative makes speakers in white and black options all the time, and then they go and make an ugly green-colored speaker with the best features in the model-line such as RGB and better sound, more power, etc....and the green color is the only option?...Not cool. Ugly green is SO great; because all of us PC owners are looking for dark green-colored gear to stand out like an eyesore on our computer tables to match our predominantly black or white or silver PC setups. The speaker offers RBG colors, all of which look horrible in my opinion because they clash with this ugly forest green speaker shell color...the RGB just makes you want to glance at the speakers even more to see the RGB colors sometimes, and then you notice the ugly green even more, so my RGB just stayed off all the time; ironic. The pictures don't do it justice on the green color either...If you have poor lighting in your room where these speakers will live, sure, you might not notice the green color or it wont bug you too bad...for me, I have a very well-lit room from lots of sunlight during the day and also bright track-lighting and desk lighting...and every time I walk over to my desk, these ugly green speakers just pop out to me and I cant stand it. I hated these speakers so much only because of the green color, that I returned them. The only other option would have been to tape the speakers really well and spray paint them black or another color of my liking, which is way too much effort considering I'm just looking for standard black color to begin with and if I'm spending $60+ on simple PC speakers, I shouldn't have to put in that effort. I even contacted Creative support and they said they hear this often and there's no options to get this speaker in black. I asked if I could maybe buy this speaker AND the black V3 Pebble model and I could just disassemble and swap the shells but the shells are different sizes. Add insult to injury, creative could have just simply ordered some black shells for the Pebble Pro during the manufacturing process, the cost to change the speaker-shell color during manufacturing is very low, and changing the dye color for injection molding when the shape of the plastic and everything else is identical when you're manufacturing the same model in mass production is about as easy as it gets. So long story short, someone high-up at Creative thinks that the consumer wants ugly green speakers as their only option when they purchase the top-tier model of their Pebble line-up, because ugly green must mean that its premium! (I say this as sarcastically as possible). I hope you've all enjoyed my rant and review about this, and if you agree with what I'm saying, then please do not purchase the Pebble Pro, so that Creative can watch their sales drop and maybe finally release a black version of this Pebble Pro speaker...an all-black Pebble Pro speaker would easily get 5 stars from me. Sure, Creative can keep making fugly green if their executives can't get off their high-horse, to each their own; but give us the option to buy the standard black color that most of us want and prefer. Other Amazon reviews agree with me about the fug green.

For inexpensive, single-driver speakers, the Pebble Pro puts out surprisingly good sound. Not studio-monitor quality, but way better than you'd expect for the price and size. They'd be a great choice for a secondary computer, where you listen to videos and music sometimes but not so often that you want to drop a few hundred on really great speakers.But.They've got a USB-C interface to the computer, and appear as a USB audio device. That's good. However, in this mode, they power from the computer, and they can't draw as much power from the computer as they need to get decent volume. If you want the full 30W power of the built-in amplifier, you need to plug in a SECOND USB-C cord and connect it to a 30W USB PD power adapter, which isn't provided.That's where things get ugly. When you have the USB PD power adapter connected, the USB data connection becomes unreliable, at least on my M2 Mac Mini. After restarting the computer, or if the power to the USB PD power adapter is interrupted, the Pebble disconnects the USB data connection and won't come back until you completely unplug both USB cables and plug them back in, in the right order. That's incredibly annoying, especially given how very many audio destinations a modern computer may have (built-in, headphones, speakers in displays, nonexistent speakers in displays that the display advertises anyway, headphone ports in displays, Bluetooth devices...) Trying to find out where your audio has gone to now when the Pebble checks out is a right pain.I can't help but think that if Creative had just put a standard barrel jack for power and included a power adapter, this wouldn't be an issue.Even with a 30W USB-PD adapter attached, the top volume isn't all that loud. For videos that are mixed properly, it's fine. But if you've got an app that's mixed low, or you get a YouTube video where the mic is on the wrong side of the room and the YouTuber hasn't heard of audio mixing controls, the Pebble Pro may frustrate you when you hit the end of the volume knob range, especially if your operating system doesn't offer an easy way to boost the gain on data sent to a USB Audio device.The other reason the Pebble gets a low grade is that, while these are good-sounding speakers, they're a near-field design. The sound quality and volume drops off rapidly with distance and angle. They're great when you're sitting in front of the computer, but if you want room music while you work, the Pebble Pro isn't for that.I want to love these speakers, but these misses make them just annoying enough that I have trouble recommending them. They could be a no-brainer buy, but the power situation and volume limitations make it difficult.

TLDR; If you can spend an extra $55, get the Pebble X Plus 2.1!These are great speakers at a great price point. Hence the 5-star review. For a smaller speaker with an included bass driver (on the back of the speaker). I'm impressed and this will be perfect for a lot of people. Compact for your desk and great for basic use.I'm a little bit of an audiophile, not obsessive, but I appreciate full sound. Once i started using these, it was clear the lower end was a bit lacking and I noticed the Pebble X Plus 2.1 with large speakers, a dedicated subwoofer, and the price increase was very reasonable over these. $120 vs $65 at the time of this review. I purchased the Pebble X Plus 2.1 a week after using the Pebble Pro and the quality improvement is noticeable. I have a $1,000 subwoofer for my home theater, so I know a quality sub, so when listening to the X Plus, and at only an extra $55, it's TOTALLY worth it. It's not going to rattle your room, but for a good set of desk speakers at this price point, I doubt you can do much better.The pros are solid and amazing at $65, but the X Plus is better.

The Creative Pebble PRO has exceeded all my expectations and solidified its place as my go-to audio companion. If you're looking for a compact and powerful speaker that delivers exceptional sound quality, look no further.First and foremost, the design is strikingly modern and minimalist. The sleek, spherical shape and matte black finish complement any workspace or living area. It's a stylish addition to any setup, whether you're using it with your computer, gaming console, or mobile device.The audio quality is where the Creative Pebble PRO truly shines. Despite its compact size, it packs a punch. The rich and balanced sound output is impressive, and it fills the room with clear, detailed audio. Whether I'm listening to music, watching movies, or gaming, the Pebble PRO never fails to deliver a fantastic audio experience.The built-in USB-C connectivity is a welcome feature. It not only ensures a stable connection but also simplifies the setup process, eliminating the need for additional cables or power adapters. It's a true plug-and-play experience.The volume control is conveniently located on the front of the speaker, allowing for quick and easy adjustments. The illuminated LED ring adds a touch of elegance and provides visual feedback on the current volume level.The Creative Pebble PRO is also surprisingly versatile. It works seamlessly with various devices, from laptops and desktops to gaming consoles and smartphones. It's an all-in-one audio solution that adapts to your needs.In conclusion, the Creative Pebble PRO is a stellar choice for anyone in search of high-quality audio in a compact and stylish package. Its outstanding sound performance, modern design, and user-friendly features make it a standout speaker in its class.

1st impression of the speaker was not that good. Then I connect it with PD 35w Portronics Charger with PD type c socket available on main speaker. The real output comes then. The speakers are excellent. But don't expect very loud like Soundbarrs. The Clarity and bass is enough for small bedroom. Happy with the purchase. Worth the price of Rs. 5500/-.

Excelente mis hijos los amaron, pedí dos uno para cada uno y son muy bonitos y discretos, pero no sé engañe con el tamaño la verdad el sonido es excelente. Este modelo en particular tiene conexión Bluetooth lo que para mí cumple justo lo que necesitaba.

Got the pebble pro's in black. Look stunning and are surprisingly small. Perfect for sitting under my monitor with small desk space. Sound quality is great, and bass is nice. I would purchase for a small, budget speaker.

I bought these speakers - and installed - for my mother. They work fine and sound good enough. They were larger than I expected.
