CREATIVE Pebble V3 Minimalist USB C 2.0 Desk Speaker with USB Audio, Clear Dialogue, Bluetooth 5.0, 8W Sine Wave Power at 16W Peak Power, USB-A Converter Included (White)

These speakers offer excellent value, unmatched at this price point. They deliver tight, clear sound suitable for various applications like internet music and podcasts. Despite their compact size, they impress musically, especially when connected via USB C for optimal sound output. While the bass isn't remarkable, it's sufficient to enhance the listening experience. The build quality is superb, and their small size makes them a perfect fit for any desk or table. Overall, priced at just £30, they're a steal.

They go surprisingly loud for the size, look good too and the Bluetooth and wired connection both works well. Good value speakers, can't complain really.

I recently changed my old iMac for a Mac Mini and monitor, both have very basic speakers. For space and aesthetic reasons I ordered the Creative Pebble V3 in white. A summary would be:Pros:Value for moneySurprisingly good sound stage for such cheap and tiny speakers - in fact excellentPretty good high frequency extensionGood design and unobtrusiveCons:Lacking in bassInstructions could be better especially on how to stop it defaulting to Bluetooth under certain circumstancesA bit more detail.The speakers are very easy to install, the cables are acceptably long as about 4 feet. The design and build is very good. I use then via USB.I was not expecting (or needing) too much from such small and cheap speakers that have a basic inbuilt digital to analogue convertor and amplifier, so I was very surprised by how well they projected a relatively realistic sound stage (width, height and even a bit of depth). The depth was most surprising as they really have no bass below 100Hz (so no explosions, kettle drums and forget the 1812 symphony finale!).The tilted up design is very clever and no doubt helps the sound stage.I can turn them up enough to give me a good sound level in my home office (3.5mx3m), but don't expect them to fill a big room.On the negative side, if you bass is lacking. A kettle drum will at best sound like a small tom tom. So for bassy music and action movies, these will not work ..... no speaker with 5cm drivers will give you bass. The instructions are a bit basic and aren't clear on how to hold a setting , so mine sometimes switch to bluetooth on start up which is irritating.All that said, these are great little speakers and exceeded my expectations by some margin as I love a good sound stage. They are a bargain.

I bought the CREATIVE Pebble V3 for my sister who’s a gamer, and she loves it! The sound quality is fantastic for such a small speaker, with clear dialogue, and good overall audio. The Bluetooth connectivity is smooth, and the minimalist design fits perfectly on her desk. It’s super easy to set up with the USB-C connection, and it’s a great upgrade from regular built-in speakers. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a compact yet powerful audio solution.

Sound quality for the size and price is excellent, lovely small footprint and great design.But the Aux-in began failing before long; it would play a pop noise indicating a mode switch and begin seeking a Bluetooth signal on its own, until it remembered there was an Aux plugged in. This occurred even if a continuous and loud signal was being sent via the Aux-in. Eventually, the aux stopped working altogether.Many firmware updates were tried, same problem. Can only assume there's some physical problem with it.Additionally, it has an annoying behaviour; if the signal it's receiving is beneath a certain level, it will cut output altogether. This is apparently some energy saving function, but it's awful in practice. The workaround is that you need to crank any output that's going into it, and then reduce volume via the dial on it instead.

Given the size and price I had low expectations. However the sound quality is very, very good. I'm 65 and use hearing aids for higher frequencies. These speakers give amazing quality and clarity at the upper end of the audio spectrum. In my case they were worth every penny and I would highly recommend them.

The speakers sound very good, work instantly after connecting to the USB port and the Bluetooth connection is a nice addition, but can only work independently of computer audio so you can't play music via Bluetooth and still have audio notifications come from your computer.
