Creative Pebble Plus 2.1 USB-Powered Desktop Speakers with Powerful Down-Firing Subwoofer and Far-Field Drivers, Up to 8W RMS Total Power for Computer PCs and Laptops (Black)

They are only USB-powered speakers. Perhaps I am looking for a unicorn, but I wanted USB speakers (as in USB-only) speakers like I have USB headphones (as in USB-only) headphones. I don't want speakers that I need to plug in the stupid 3.5mm plug. In fact, I do not want anything that has a 3.5mm plug. Do not buy these if you are expecting USB-only speakers.

These speakers came recommended on a couple blogs, but I was skeptical of anything USB powered, and was nearly certain I'd want something with a subwoofer. After giving it some thought, I decided these speakers were cheap enough and portable, so I could easily put them to use somewhere else, if they didn't live up to my unreasonable standards for word processing background music and the occasional webinar.These speakers are remarkably well balanced - and provide an incredible amount of clarity at their softest (which is much quieter than other speakers at this price point) and loudest (no distortion, granted, I haven't had much reason to test their upper limits). The bass is perfect at close proximity. It sounds much more treble at a distance, but the speakers are obviously oriented to serve one pair of ears sitting near the source - and they do that marvelously.

These Pebble speakers are tremendous. I'm no audiophile but I know enough that these speakers produce great sound. And at the price point offered you can't go wrong with them. There is no distortion at loud settings and the bass is actually quite good. The overall quality of sound highlights both high and low midpoints very well. I mainly use them to listen to YouTube music videos but also us them continuously for all purposes. The only negative that I have read is that it may be hard to use these speakers if you are traveling. And there is no protective "screen" over the speakers themselves. But these are minor points. For one, they are not meant to be used for traveling, they are desktop speakers. And with proper handling the speakers protective "screen" being missing is not an issue if you are careful with them.Overall, these Pebble speakers are awesome and highly recommended!

I'm a teacher, I bought this to use in my classroom for projecting videos to my students since the PC that I have in there doesnt really has much volume. I thought I would want to listen to music as well after school while I prepate the class for next day. I must say that the speakers are a little bigger than I thought they would be. Materials seem alright and volume is quite good, I put in on half and its more than enought. Messing with volume setting on the PC plus the integrated one I reckon is more than I need.I highly recommend it for a $20 speakers. Cant really compare much but I am happy with them. I bought them on black.Sound Quality on music id say is nice, the voice is clear and there's good bass. Of course it's not like listening to my headphones or JBL speakers at home but the sounf is satisfying i'd say. I feel it could still improve on detail, but maybe im asking too much. Im giving 4 for this, but is really a 4.7 or so.

I needed some office speakers, and given I can't crank it up to 11 in the workplace, did not want an expensive pair. Gave these a shot because they are USB powered (no wall-wart), have a dedicated volume knob, and look a bit nicer than the average "PC speakers".Highs are a bit over accentuated, unsurprising for the size, lows are reasonable and as expected - these are not woofers. My only disappointment is that while USB powered they still need the audio signal from my MacBook Pro's headphone jack. I was hoping for a one plug connection for quick connect/disconnect. If I find that this is a limitation with the laptop I will update this review.Overall I'm satisfied with these at the price point and will keep them.

Beats out all the competitors in the price range. I saw a review citing it as the best cheap speaker over others that cost a fair bit more, so I decided to give it a try when it was restocked.I'm very glad I did. I saved money, got an unexpectedly well-performing sound system, as well as an aesthetically pleasing one.For small rooms, the volume is more than loud enough just below medium capacity. If you turn the volume up more than that, it can go up really loud. Like make your neighbors pissed off loud.Sound is rich enough that I can enjoy music as well as audiobooks. Mid to high range is quite good. Of course given there's no subwoofer, the bass isn't spectacular, but that's to be expected.The speakers look like the Zen garden pebbles they're named after and are very nice to look at. I got the white ones, which have rose gold accents in the center and look classy. They're also fairly small, which is great considering how small my desk is.

I ordered these speakers for my pc because the built-in speakers on my monitor were extremely low. I do not use them for anything other than system sounds or pulling up the occassional youtube video. For other activities, such as gaming I use headphones.Pros:Sound quality to price. These speakers are probably some of the best sounding for the price.The design is nice. They are not very tall so they can go in front of the monitor and not cause any issues.Cons:They lose sound quality and crackle at higher volume. Again, these are good for most simple uses, but they are not going to replace your home theater system.

It has passive radiators which produce really clean bass which is excellent for listening anything from a distance of 3 to 7 feet away from the speaker. Don't expect room-filling bass though. Give it some 24 hours burning time and it will sound better than out of the box.

Vraiment surpris par la qualité sonore , le son est net !Très Satisfait de mon achat , je vous le conseil.

Buy better speakers. If you are looking for USB powered speakers, this ones will do just fine, nothing wrong with them, just lack spark, life, they push sound but nothing else. Don't think any of the creative speakers I had, ever found that subtle quality of...sound.For best usb speakers look at Dell 2.0 Speaker System – AE215 for about £35.Best non usb speakers under £100, the Bose Companion 2 series III, really good lively sound, mind you not studio quality, but pleasing.For £23 this speakers do well and don't take much room at all, they aren't bad looking and don't distort that much.If you can afford, invest a bit more, but for the price, this speakers are good.

The Trust brand seem everywhere so tried their 2 most powerful set of speakers.. Not that impressed, bass was thin, no separation or quality/feel to them and seeing that generally Creative speakers appeared to be well respected I also bought myself a set of Creative Pebble Desktop Speakers, 2.0 USB and instantly packed up the other 2 sets for postage back to Amazon. Deep enough bass, good midrange and the top sits just nice. Over powered so you will get distortion if turned up full but that gives a nice warm loud enough sound 3/4 turned up. I've spent way to many hours this week coming to the conclusion that these Pebbles are what you're looking for.. Qualifications? Sound engineer, producer, musician of 40 years.

If you are like me and have a gaming monitor with no built in speakers then you may be in the market for a set of cheap speakers to output sound from the source being input to your monitor. In my case I have both a PS4 and PC, and much orf the time I am gaming with headphones, but for the casual gaming times or when for comfort you just don't want to wear headphones these speakers fit the bill nicely.They are a unique design, about the size and shape of a large orange with the base cut off, they come as a connected stereo pair, and the left speaker has a 3.5mm jack to connect to the headphone out of the monitor and a usb plug to get its power, in my case this is also from the back of the monitor, but could be any powered ups socket you have - such as the ones on your PC or PS4As mentioned they are small and relatively unobtrusive on the desktop, and although they are limited sound wise, by their size, the sound is clear, and adequate if sound quality is not your main goal. They reproduce vocals clearly but can sound muddy with complex music scores, and obviously lack bass.If you want small cheap and unobtrusive sound output from an otherwise speaker less monitor - these fit the bill really well and are recommended.
