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

I recently upgraded my main pc, and used the existing surround sound speakers on the new machine. I decided to keep the existing computer in the same office room, and needed a relatively simple sound set up to replace the speakers that I'd migrated to the new PC, without wanting to add lots of new wiring to the spaghetti of wires that live under the desks. The computer is running Windows 10 pro on an intel 8700K CPU and MSI Carbon Pro 390 motherboard. I initially considered a blue tooth set up, but there is a lot of electronic equipment in this room, and I was worried about interference. As it happened, these speakers from Creative were included in the Amazon Prime Deal promotion, and after a short period of research, I clicked 'buy it now'. The speakers arrived a couple of days later, two days before expected. Impressive, Amazon. I unboxed and set the speakers and subwoofer up according to the instructions, powering the speakers from a USB port on the PC itself, for a test run. Everything worked fine, so I then positioned everything properly, using extension cables for both the 3.5 mm speaker - PC jack and the speaker - subwoofer RCA jack. I also plugged the speakers into a dedicated 5v power adapter socket, freeing up the USB socket on the computer for other things. The integrated cables are quite short, in my opinion, so consider buying RCA male - Female and 3.5 mm male to female extension cables if you keep your PC under the desk, or, as in my own case, at some distance from the speakers themselves. I bought the Amazon Basics 3.5 mm Auxiliary Jack Audio Extension Cable ( 5m ) and the KabelDirekt RCA extension cable ( 2m ) and can confirm both cables work fine. As far as the speakers are concerned, I'm very impressed with the quality ( and on High Gain ) the volume of the sound. The speakers are each the size of a child's play ball, and the subwoofer is about 8"x 8"x 6". The speakers would easily fit either side of a monitor on an average sized desk without taking up too much space, and the neat ( and VERY light ) subwoofer can easily be tucked away under the desk. Again, I'd advise buying cable extensions to avoid stretching wires. I found the setup to be a little on the Bass heavy side as standard, but this issue was easily solved by installing 'Peace Equalizer' and the "Equalizer APO" from Sourceforge. This is hands down the best 2.1 desktop speaker set up I have ever used. The sound is very clear, and although it does get distorted at very high levels, I'd can't see a scenario where I'd need to raise the levels that high in normal use. The speakers are perfect for listening to movies and YouTube videos, and are perfectly adequate for listening to your own FLAC collection whilst sitting at your desk. I paid £33.24 for this speaker set, and as far as I'm concerned, this is is probably the best value computer related purchase I have ever made. The price at writing is only £34.99, and in all honesty, you'd be making a solid choice for your money. With the sole reservation about the length of the cabling, I would recommend these speakers 100% for 90% of computer users. Brilliant value.

Cracking little set of hard wired speakers. Decent sound quality and volume at a very goid price. Ideal for desktop computing abd listening to a little music. Huge improvement over standard laptop speakers.

Obviously not the last word in sound quality, but what they do offer is surpisingly good. The sub woofer is not really a sub at all, it's more about lower midrange. It's a shame that it can't be indpendently controlled but we are dealing with a very inexpensive system here. What you get from it is quite "cuppy" and "honky", not true bass. If you could dial it down it would be great. The sattelites work very well, with sparkly highs and a clear midrange. You need to position them around a foot below ear level to achieve the best sound balance. The cables could have been more generous in length, also. Overall, a bargain at the price point. The design is attractive and performance is adequate for the money. Four stars.

You get what you pay for - these excel for what they cost. Crystal clear, bright, sub is well balanced - for me, they sound great. I've always trusted the Creative brand, this set-up is no disappointment. A few reviewers complain about digital noise interference - I had the same initially. My tip is, for any active speaker that uses a 3.5mm plug - that might not have been used for years is... give it a wiggle, plug unplug a dozen times. That'll clean off the corrosion on the socket on your motherboard or audio card. That's what I did, and now I'm very happy and impressed. They aren't too loud or punchy which suits me as I wanted a discrete speaker set that wouldn't wake the kids up. If you want something with good fidelity and not much boom - these are great.

Estos altavoces Creative los pedí hace aproximadamente un mes ya que buscaba unos altavoces sencillos, económicos pero que tuviera subwoofer, para tener sonido de graves, ya que cambia mucho el tenerlos o no. A la hora de pedirlos no sobrepasaba los treinta y seis euros, precio cercano a la media, pero estando en la época de navidad no era un precio muy elevado, con lo cual lo consideré una excelente compra. La idea era utilizarlo para un monitor que tiene salida mini Jack que a la vez está conectado a la PS5 y me ha servido perfectamente. Si quieres utilizarlo con la PS5 directamente no podrás ya que la única conexión que tiene de entrada es por mini Jack, así que necesitaras que el monitor/televisor que conectas la PS5 tenga este tipo de salida o utilizar un multiplexor que divida la salida HDMI en con este conector, hay varios por ahí. Otro aspecto que a mi me ha venido de maravilla es que la alimentación es por USB, por lo que lo he podido conectar a una salida USB que tiene el monitor, evitando más cables por en medio. Si no es tu caso, necesitarás un adaptador de corriente de 5V y al menos 2A, aunque creo que con 1A bastaría es cuestión de probarlo, de los que usas para el móvil o la Tablet. No se incluye ningún adaptador en la caja, resumo los puntos más importante para mi. 👍 Me ha gustado ✅ Sonido más que bueno para el tamaño que tiene, graves sin ser muy potentes, adecuados para no molestar. ✅ Pocos conectores y cables, prácticamente dos, el conector mini Jack a la fuente de sonido y el cable USB para la alimentación. ✅ El tamaño de los altavoces, incluyendo el subwoofer no es muy grande, no ocupan mucho sitio, el subwoofer lo tengo en el suelo. ✅ El diseño de los altavoces es moderno, la forma redonda y la posición que tiene un poco elevadas hace que el sonido se emita de forma equilibrada. ✅ La relación calidad precio creo que es lo mejor a destacar. ✅ Sonido genérico tanto para videojuegos, música, etc. 👎 Contras o cosas a tener en cuenta. ❌ No tiene muchas opciones de configuración, un interruptor para la ganancia nada más. En conclusión, lo mejor es la relación calidad-precio que tiene, sonido bastante bueno (teniendo en cuenta que la gama de altavoces es baja) yo diría que equilibrados, no muy grandes. Obviamente si quieres más potencia de audio, o incluso más opciones de configuración tienes que buscar una gama más alta, pero sinceramente desde hace un mes aproximadamente que lo tengo, para el uso sobre todo de la PS5, están muy pero que muy bien. La relación calidad precio que tiene hace que le ponga cinco estrellas.

Masaüstü PC'im için aldım. Ev için çok iyi.

Échaudé par l'achat d'une barre de son low cost dont le son était vraiment étouffé et de mauvaise qualité, j'ai choisi ce kit d'enceintes en lisant de nombreux avis sur Internet. Je suis vraiment époustouflé par le rendu sonore de ce kit. Non seulement, le son n'est pas étouffé, mais il est parfaitement restitué et de qualité, et ce malgré la taille de ces enceintes. Le caisson de basses rempli parfaitement sa fonction, sans toutefois en faire trop. Cerise sur le gâteau , les enceintes sont jolies. Le son est assez puissant pour un(e) bureau / chambre et l'orientation des enceintes est un choix judicieux. Ce n'est qu'un détail, j'aurais aimé cependant avoir un câble auxiliaire un petit peu plus long, et un chargeur de fourni. A noter que pour activer le mode Haut gain, il vous faudra un adaptateur usb 5V de 2 A. Pour résumer un très bon kit, puissant, produisant un son excellent à un prix très correct.

Super article pour le prix. Attention de bien mettre les câbles "isolés" d'autres câbles (écran, console de jeu, pc). Au risque d'avoir des interférences. Un son au top !

I honestly didn’t expect much at this price, but I was truly surprised by the sound quality. The speakers and the subwoofer deliver powerful, rich, and very clean audio, especially considering how small they are. I connected them to a gaming monitor and a PlayStation 5, and the experience has been excellent. Deep bass, clear sound, and very immersive for gaming and media. Highly recommended.
