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)

These speakers are pretty good! The sound quality is pretty solid for the price, and the added passive subwoofer is a nice touch. They get fairly loud for their size, and look really cool on your desk. The bronze-on-black reminds me of the classic Klipsch styling, which always looks sleek. I actually caught a painted version of these in the background of Jenna Ortega's dorm in Beetlejuice Bettlejuice which was cool to see, so set designers seemingly like the look too.I bought these as a gift for my girlfriend who had only been using headphones, and she's a fan. While I haven't been the main one using them to really test them out, they sound good to my ears and are definitely good enough for her needs. As somebody who does live sound for my job, I would personally buy something a bit bigger/louder, but for the average user who just wants to watch YouTube and play some games, these work perfectly fine.The subwoofer definitely won't blow you away (it doesn't even have a volume knob), but it does really help to fill out the lower-end of the sound. Just be careful where you put it - put on some bass-heavy music when you're setting it up and move it around to a few different spots and see where it's the loudest. It seems like it gets the loudest in corners, but it'll vary with your room design and floor materials.The cables connecting the speakers could be a bit longer to space them out, but they work for most standard desk setups. I just wish I had more to work with in terms of cable management, but it's not that big of a deal.Otherwise, they're really simple to set up and get running, it's pretty much plug-and-play.My one complaint is that they do not have an integrated headphone jack on the front of the speaker like some others I've used. I had to purchase a 1/8" splitter to have headphones and speakers simultaneously hooked up, which was a cheap fix, but an additional jack would be convenient.Overall, these are really nice computer speakers for the price. Yes, there are plenty of cheaper ones, but if you want some that are small and look nice without compromising on sound quality, these are a great choice.

Very impressed for such a small and cheap package. There is more boom sound coming out of this mini PC sound system than I had anticipated. I have this hooked up on my laptop in the mancave/business room and the sound that comes out of this is pretty impressive. Now, remember, this is an affordable sound system so do not expect having massive sounds or full control of anything you want. This is a plug in and play type of sound system. If you want a much more clear sound, use your in house equalizer in your computer to get the highs, mids, and lows where you want to. As for me, I am very satisfied with this whether watching a movie, listening to music, or playing video games as the sound is very full.

I’ve been using the Creative Pebble Plus 2.1 speakers for a few years now on and off, and overall, I’m really impressed. The sound quality is excellent for such compact speakers, especially with the addition of the down-firing subwoofer, which adds a nice depth to the bass but nothing too crazy. Whether I’m listening to music or watching movies on my PC, the audio is crisp.Setup was incredibly simple—just plug them into a USB port for power and connect the 3.5mm jack to your device. They don’t require an external power outlet, which is super convenient for small desks or spaces with limited power options.One thing I would mention is that while they are advertised as 8W RMS, they’re not the loudest speakers out there. If you're looking for speakers to fill a large room with sound, these might fall a little short. But for near-field listening at your desk, they're great.The design is sleek and modern, and they don’t take up much space, which is a big plus. I also like the fact that the volume knob is right on the front of the speaker for easy access.Overall, I’m very happy with the Creative Pebble Plus. They’re a great value for the price and offer decent sound quality for everyday use. I’m giving them 4 stars because I wish they had a bit more bass, but for most people, they’ll be more than sufficient.
