Creative Pebble V3 Minimalistic 2.0 Desktop Speakers With USB-C Audio, Clear Dialog Enhancement, Bluetooth 5.0, 8W RMS, 16W Peak Power, USB-A Converter (Black)

Ordered it late on a Saturday afternoon and it was on my doorstep at 6AM on Sunday! Amazon shipping couldn't be more efficient.Fantastic product. I watched a lot of reviews, so I knew the Creative Pebble V3 was highly regarded as the best buy for my intended use (greatly improving my tinny Lenovo laptop sound, punching well above its weight at $35). Very crisp dialogue in the mid and highs. The "left" speaker has a bass (port?) out the back, which adds surprisingly rich low end. I couldn't be happier with this very inexpensive option. Audio reviewers in the know were spot-on recommending the V3 over the other models in the line with built-in LEDs. Unless you want to add mood lighting, save the additional expense.The only (completely avoidable) drawback I noticed was that in Bluetooth mode, there is a very noticeable lag in audio/video sync (which could simply be due to my laptop). Since audio lag is a pet peeve of mine (mostly experienced with streaming services/devices such as Netflix and Fire TV stick) I simply opt to use the Pebble V3 in USB (C) audio mode, which sends the audio signal over the cabling for a perfect sync. Despite this, I still consider the Bluetooth capability of the Pebble 3 to be an added value, as I could also use these speakers with a phone or any other Bluetooth audio device source for music, when there is no audio sync to consider.All in all, this is a best buy IMHO. This is actually my third Creative computer speaker purchase. I had the original Creative desktop 2.1, (small, white cube speakers with white subwoofer) for my main tower computer decades ago, which had impressively "big" sound for such tiny speakers. I updated to Pebble 2.1 years back only to update the look from white to black. The pebble 2.1 setup still serves me well on that computer, and as with the original setup, the Pebble 2.1 also impressed me with a sound that seems much bigger than their size.I guess this makes me a bit of a Creative Labs fan boy, but in my opinion, it's well-earned.

Next month I'll have had these for three years, and I have no complaints at all. Idk why I came on here to review them, but I was just happy about them today I guess. Great bass, decent volume for the price. I expected them to crap the bed by now, but nope. These babies have carried my workouts at max volume and my work music almost daily.

Bought it to use with a docked Mac Book using a Thunderbolt 4 hub but it only works over USB when directly connected to the computer. This is not an issue with desktops but an issue if you are using a laptop and want to be able to quickly dock and undock. Does work over Bluetooth.The speakers show up in OSX System Properties so the laptop is aware of the speakers.Can use monitor speakers through the same hub over USB-C to HDMI cables so this appears to be a speaker design issue.

I'm super grateful I bought the version with bluetooth. I primarily use these on my desktop, so they're pretty stationary in my room. But, I can connect my phone or kindle to them on the fly and control music from my phone or listen to an audiobook. If you want RGB, get one of the versions with it AND bluetooth. And if RGB doesn't matter, get these.

for what I got these for, they are perfect. I have a small desk with an Intel NUC computer, monitor on a stand. There was just enough room for these Pebble V3s. I was using the sound from the monitor and it was terrible. I don't game or jam to music on a computer anymore. I just want decent sound for youtube, streaming a movie (again, don't need to feel the movie in shake-around). I got some chuckles watching online reviews comparing these to higher end speakers, dudes trying to pound thumper music, doing the head banging to beat thing, thumbs downing these....These pebbles V3s fit the bill perfectly for what they are intended for .

Great quality speakers with an affordable price. The reviews were great, so I took a chance and very pleased with product. Using for desk top, USB type C., Bluetooth. The sound quality for speakers has far exceeded my expectations. The shipment arrived sooner than expected and packaged well. Set up was super easy. Definitely recommend if you want an affordable speaker, great sound and BLACK looks nice!

Fantastic speakers with a minimalist footprint, these have great sound especially when you don't have a lot of space these are good enough for music listening and and watching movies, the build quality is pretty good and should last a long time if you treat em properly, I love how they are usb-C powered which make it compatabile with just about anything these days, they are lightweight and aren't heavy, their are no bulky or annoying power wires due to it being USB-C which is just amazing for the function of these speakers, I keep these behind my monitor and you don't even notice them its like my monitor has speakers.

Sound qualityIf connects to Bluetooth sound can be a bit off if you're used to hi-end speakers. However, if connects to aux it is actually pretty decent speakers. It doesn't come with aux cable though but you can get ot off Amazon for less than $10.Size and DesignThe speakers are a bit chunky. Design is cool. Material doesn't look cheap. Finish touch is matte.InstallationIt comes with usb dongle of you want to connect via Bluetooth. The power cord is USB C and very long. There's no driver needed, just plug and play.SummaryVery decent set, value for money, good quality
