I wanted to downsize the number of speakers I had on my PC, wasn't making great use of the 5:1 speaker configuration and the cable management was driving me mad. After some research, I opted for these. The first thing I was amazed at was the weight (or lack of it) for the complete setup, especially the bass box. Once I got it set up, I gave it some tests from simple music to games with a lot of gameplay noise. First impressions - Yes I was impressed, the sound was clear from the small speakers and the bass sound was not overpowering. The USB power source was an interesting one, it said to make the most of the gain levels, use a 2A USB power source (Not included). Now for the price of these,

Creative and others crippled their small powered speaker line with the EU Power Consumption directive that made them turn off after 10-15 minutes of no input signal... :o(Have a pair of Yamaha NX-50's connected to a TV which are great, but discontinued... :o(I wanted a small pair of speakers to run off a Dell micro PC for general PC ping and bong and Skype call sounds and took a chance with these pebbles, and am kinda shocked at how good they are.The sound is great for what they are, mainly crisp highs and mids (But not so heavy on the Bam Bam's :o)), but there is some bass in there, and the best bit is as they are USB powered they stay on and switch off with the PC.

These speakers are great. The build quality, design and premium feel are amazing at this price. It easily beats anything that logitech does at this price range. I used to use some logitech z200 speakers, which feel very cheap, plasticky and bulky compared to the creative pebbles.I use these as small speakers for my PC, mainly for when I'm doing light gaming, talking to friends online, casually listening to music etc. and they're perfect for this. I do not use these for serious listening sessions, or for longer gaming sessions - for that I'll use headphones with my DAC/Amp, or my main hifi system.However, having said that - the sound quality is great for the price.

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,

I bought these for a small (22") JVC TV in my bedroom. The JVC TV has a 3.5mm headphone socket in the back to plug these into. The original speakers in the TV are just awful - flat and tinny and pretty hard to listen to without turning it up so loud that it distorts. Adding these speakers has made the world of difference. I have set the volume on the speaker dial to max, then I use the TV remote to change the volume as normal. Music channels, news, movies and sports commentary are all perfect (as good as my £300 soundbar downstairs, just not as loud).It also has a USB socket in the back which means that they are powered directly from the TV and I don't need to use another three pin plug socket.

Even these are a Creative product, I wasn't expecting great things for 27 euro. Was I surprised ? Oh, yes. When I unpacked the speakers, the first thing that struck was the weight, build and size of the speakers. A good weiht, strong build and just about the right size for my needs. Next, the design and shape. Very neat and attractive. So much for the apparance. Next was performance. TBH, I definitely wasn't expecting great things here. As these speakers are solely powered by the laptop via usb, I expected passable performance. Again, big surprise. Clear, high volume with no distortion at the top end and even though there is no bass control, the bass was well acceptable.

I um'd and ah'd over a set of speakers for quite a while, looking at youtube reviews and professional reviews for guidance, finally took the plunge with these and I'm so glad I did.I bought these to be desktop speakers for my computer, so I have no need to transport them anywhere and I'm not looking for them to deliver loud, unbelievable sound quality as I'm just sitting 1 meter from the speakers. That said, I personally think the sound quality is fantastic and they look really smart, which is pretty much all you can ask for. It's only been a couple of months since I bought them but I couldn't be happier.I do have one grievance though but thought it would do a disservice to the speakers to mark it down for it.

The sound quality on these is very very good.The cables are redicoulously short (especially for a PC). I needed an extansion for both power and signal in. There is a weird "gain" toggle switch for the speakers which I don't see why anyone would turn off, given that it does not reduce the sound quality at the same real volume level. It would have been better utilised as a low/high volume on the woofer that has no separate control. For the price range is still give them 5 stars though.Keep in mind though you might need a usb charger to get the full output from them, and a good quality one otherwise they will buzz like crazy.Overall they look good,

I have to admit to being dubious about the excellent reviews, bearing in mind the low price but I thought I'd give them a go as I just wanted some compact speakers to go on top of the desk to replace the large ones under the desk that were humming annoyingly. I was amazed by the bright and detailed sound at all volumes. When turned to full volume there is no noticeable distortion and they are louder than I had expected. The stereo effect is also excellent. I listen mainly to acoustic, singer/songwriter music so I wasn't looking for heavy bass. In fact I didn't want it. I find sub woofers generally produce far too much bass for me and it can transmit through the house.

So I set about trying to find the best USB powered laptop speakers and went for the most expensive I could find. 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'm really happy with the quality of these. Solid build, nice and compact, and look great.Really didn't expect such a good sound from such a cheap set. Low gain and high gain settings are a nice touch. Low gain gives great definition and range at low/medium volumes, but gets a tinny at higher volumes. The high gain setting is good for giving body at higher volumes, but less defined at lower volumes.The sub is capable of decent bass but isn't over the top on default settings which many of these 2.1 sets are guilty of. That being said if you're all about the bass this may not be the set for you.USB powered is very ideal for PC/laptop users.Only downside is I fear the cables might be a little short when my desk is in a standing position,

Pros:Great valueSubwoofer is goodTakes up little space in deskConsCables can be a hassle to tidyThe two speakers can only be a fixed length apartI bought this speaker because I wanted to watch movies on my computer without a headset. I was blown away with the quality music and audio from movies sounds fantastic. I highly recommend getting the version with the subwoofer to hear the bass. The subwoofer can also just be left on the floor for more space on the desk. It was also quite easy to set up just plug everything in and your done.The only thing I don’t like is that the two speakers are connected by a wire, limiting how far apart they can be.

I was looking for some mid range pc speakers, nothing special for the type of use I will have for them but was getting sick of the quality of the last few budget speakers. I was expecting to pay two/three times more than this and was actually a bit worried the price meant they were low quality but the Amazon and tech website reviews seem to rate these. I have to say that I was very surprised with the clarity and bass. While they wont meet the needs for a sound system or a home cinema they more than good enough for a desktop pc use - youtube, and light streaming tv (I used headphones for gaming and go to my living room tv for more cinema/bigscreen experience).

Look - these are cheap as chips. You won't get amazing sound from them. But for the budget price they're reasonable. And they look kinda nice too.The bass is pretty poor (as you'd expect without a subwoofer), and the volume doesn't go very high. That's because these are powered just over USB, not by a 13A plug.They are small, basic and cheap. It's hard to complain about them if you buy them knowing their limitations.I would only buy these if I was desperate for some speakers and had a very tight budget. If sound quality is your priority, you really need to spend a bit more and get a 2.1 system (which includes a subwoofer). I recommend the SoundSticks II by Harman/Kardon,

Bought these after checking them out on YouTube. Brilliant little speakers, they look good and are pretty loud for their size. I've had creative labs speakers for years and are a well established maker of pc speakers. For the price these were a steal. Theses are the version 2 model, not to be mistaken for the original 2.0 ones (a bit confusing I know). These are a little more powerful and feature a USB C connector, although you also get a small adapter to change them back to standard USB. To set them up takes seconds, simply plug the USB plug into an available USB port on your pc or laptop, then plug in the 3.5mm plug into your sound output on your sound card (usually green) and thats it.
