Creative Pebble

When looking for new speakers years ago I remembered the CREATIVE hardware I had as a student and how brilliant it was. As soon as I saw these speakers I pulled the trigger and they've served me well for over 5 years. These plug and play speakers don't take up much space, look great and sound brilliant - all for twenty quid. I mainly got them for a cheap gaming PC but have since plugged them into my iMac (they're better than the built-in speakers). They're also much better than the speakers of any laptop I've ever had, and super portable. The volume goes surprisingly high, with no sound break-up even at high levels. Great bass for their size too. Really recommended!

Are we expecting finely etched detail, superb macro and micro dynamics and true timbral reproduction? Well I hope you've got the funds, because that isn't going to come cheap! What we have here is a sub 20 quid (at the time of purchase) pair of active speakers for your PC, laptop or any other device with a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB port to supply power. And they sound genuinely impressive for the money. Soundstage is bigger than I expected and the treble is pretty refined, not excessively bright or the least bit splashy and well controlled with barely a trace of tinniness, which is something often associated with low cost audio. Tonal accuracy is overall pretty good and the bass is adequate and quite well controlled. They don't seem too fussy about positioning either. Naturally given the small size, the power draw limitations of USB and the driver choice they aren't going to compete with good HiFi, lacking the bite and punch of a dedicated tweeter and bass/mid drive, but they certainly hold their own for the money. Cable length is ok for most but I'd ideally like detachable cables as cheap 3.5mm jack connections are known to fail quite regularly. And that's probably the only thing I think Creative could change without raising the price substantially.

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 PS4 As 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.

For the money they are great. Not huge bass obviously but not a cold/hollow sound either.

Great speaker, I'm actually surprised with the quality you get for such a fair price. They don't have very deep base, but they sound very clear, they were easy to connect to the PC as well. Lightweight, long cable that shoud reach to your PC, easy volume changing and just lovely design that matches my desk. Fully functional, clarity of the sound is definitely on spot here, overall highly recommended.

Good quality sound, easy to use and they're pleasing to have living on my desk!

Ok value for £15, devoid of bass but trebles are clear enough for video calls. Easy to set up. Better than the very poor speakers in my monitor. Loses a star for the obnoxious green light which will get covered somehow. Plus points for not needing an app, and for working with any 3.5m aux device - I just want simple speakers so it fit the bill perfectly for this.

Easy to set up with good cable length and great sound quality for the price

Ottime casse, non pensavo suonassero così bene, suono corposo si sento un po' i bassi ma i medi ed alti sono eccellenti, ho dei test suond e si sente il leggio dello spartito che cambia pagina, rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente........ design bellissimo.

I recommend

très bon son, très bon achat, semble très solide

Ich habe die Lautsprecher jetzt erst seit zwei Tage in Benutzung und bin jetzt schon begeistert vom Klag und vom ( auch wenn es nicht viel ist ) sauberen Bass. Ich habe sie an meinem PC angeschlossen, um zwischendurch mal etwas Musik zu hören, vorher waren es Lautsprecher im Preisbereich unter 10€ und so haben sie auch geklungen, hat mir jedoch ausgereicht, dafür haben sie dann aber auch 5 Jahre gehalten ( Amazon Basic ). Die Marke Creative ist mir von früher ( aus meiner Jugend die Soundkartenspezialisten überhaupt ) ein Begriff und daher habe ich nicht lange gebraucht, um sie mal zu bestellen, ich dachte mir halt "was soll schon schief gehen", war halt früher auch eine super Marke, nach meiner Bestellung durchbrach die Realität meine Euphorie und dann kam der Tag. als sie zugestellt wurden, als erstes direkt angeschlossen und die ersten Töne eine Erleichterung, Creative steht scheinbar immer noch zu ihrem Namen, auch wenn die Geschichte sich hinter der Firma verändert hat. Jetzt zu Sound, wie schon erwähnt bin ich extrem begeistert, denn dafür dass sie so günstig sind, ist die Tonqualität der Wahnsinn, es passt einfach alles, egal ob höhen, mitten oder auch Tiefen. Sie brauchen einen kleinen Moment, um dann richtig los zu legen und dann geht es schön vorwärts. Natürlich sollte man von der Größe nicht zu viel verlangen, wobei sie schon mehr raus geben, wie ich es erwartet habe. Das Video wie schon erwähnt am Tag 2 entstanden, heißt also, dass sie noch nicht richtig eingespielt sind und sich der Ton noch verändern kann, meist zum positiven. Die Größe entspricht in etwa einer Männlichen Faust und vom Gewicht merkt man, dass es reiner Kunststoff ist, dafür finden sie auf jeden Schreibtisch Platz. Meine klare Kaufempfehlung gibt es für die beiden definitiv, denn ( ich kann es nicht oft genug sagen ) sie hauen mehr raus, als man von den keinen Plastikbombern erwartet. Ich hoffe sehr, dass meine Rezension hilfreich war und bei der Kaufentscheidung mitgeholfen hat.
