Creative Pebble X 2.0 USB-C Computer Speakers with Customizable RGB Lighting, Bluetooth 5.3, USB Audio, Up to 15W RMS Power for PC and Mac

I got these speakers and they sounded great for speakers under $100, they look great in any area that you want RGB but I have gotten other speakers after owning these. If you're really limited at $100 get them if not save up and go up a tier level.

I had high hopes for these speakers for my new office. I spend a few weeks researching and watching YouTube reviews and decided these would be the best for a budget speaker. I've used them two days now, and the sound quality is pretty rough. Yes, they have built in back woofers, which is super rad, and the low end is great for desktop speakers. It's the mids, and particularly the highs (percussion) that they really have a hard time with. All genres seems to have sections where you hear that distorted scratching. This isn't even an audiophile thing - anyone would notice out the box these don't sound right, and no amount of messing with the software EQs of Spotify or iTunes has really made any difference.To make things worse, one the big selling points was the creative app that would allow you to fine tune the EQ and make all the adjustments, doesn't even work with Mac OS. You can download the app on your laptop, iPhone or iPad, but the speakers really aren't compatible. OSX app won't even recognize you have the speakers, and the iOS app will recognize you have them but won't let you adjust anything - not even the RGB.Pretty underwhelming. After two days of messing around with iTunes, Spotify and the EQs of each, I'm throwing them back in the box and returning them.

The Creative Pebble X is a great option for anyone looking to upgrade their computer's sound without breaking the bank. Here's a quick breakdown of the key points:Pros:Clean and functional design: Nice packaging, includes multiple connection options (2x USB-C, 1x 3.5mm jack)Excellent sound quality: Clear and undistorted audio, loud enough for most usesCustomizable lighting: Adds a fun touch and offers a variety of optionsCompact size: Perfect for desktops with limited spaceAffordable: Under $100Cons:Limited bass: Not ideal for those who crave deep bassShorter speaker cable: Might be limiting for some setupsPC app limitations: The PC app with all the settings (lights, equalizer, etc.) doesn't work with Bluetooth connection, you have to connect with the USB port.Overall:The Creative Pebble X seems like a well-rounded set of computer speakers, particularly for those who prioritize clear audio and don't necessarily need earth-shattering bass. The customizable lighting is a nice bonus, and the price point is attractive. If you have a larger desk or need more speaker placement flexibility, the shorter cable length might be a concern.

First of all, I'm an audio guy, and bad sound will annoy me. These don't annoy me. But you need to consider your use case. I replaced a computer monitor with a larger curved one, but still kept it on my desk. The new monitor did not have speakers.The Pebbles, near the top of the Pebble lineup, sit nicely on the desk just behind the monitor curve. They appear to have been actually designed by someone who could solve a speaker enclosure as an equivalent electrical circuit, so these are 4th or 6th order Butterworth box designs using a speaker and a passive radiator. This gives adequately deep bass extension so that movies sound OK. You do NOT get much real low bass, but plenty down to perhaps 75hz. I don't use a sub with them although some people would want that. (There is a model of this speaker packaged with a sub).The user will be sitting in the speakers near field, and they are just fine as near field monitors. Their FQ is a lot less wonky than some others, and they provide adequate treble and air without sounding tinny. Nobody would mistake these for serious High Fidelity, but they are just fine for what they are.And if an entirely adequate speaker that gets mid-range right is what you want - these are for you. The LED light show is just a bonus, and can be managed via the excellent Creative app.
