For their price mark they won't blow anyone away, but these sound much better than what they're priced for! The sleek, minimal design fits in very well with my black desk and I appreciate that you can power it via usb. Great value for what you get!
I bought all three pebble speakers: V1, V2, V3. I could not find any good reviews of all three together so here is my attempt - Hope it helps! My back ground I love music, perform live regularly and own speakers from Definitive Tech, Mirage, Hsu Research, etc.
V1 - Very transparent sounding top end. Airy, open, detailed are immediate words that come to mind. These speakers nail this sense of "air" on tracks like Eric Claptions Signe (Unplugged). It does so in a way that is honestly shocking for the $18 I paid. These qualities evoke the appropriate emotional reaction to certain music like Norah Jones as the piano notes "float" in the sound stage the way they should and the brushes on the snare have the right shimmer. try these tracks your self to see for your self. Now the con's against these speakers lean more on the bass side - they severely lack bass response. That being said they also dont pretend to have any - there is no over bloated mid range. In certain pop tracks I found that I preferred using Apple's "sound enhancer" to accentuate the bass response.
V2 - These physically are the same size as the V1 but they have a modified power amp section for a claimed double in wattage at 16 watt peak. They also include a high gain/low gain switch on the bottom of the right speaker. They sound good in both high gain/low gain - the high gain mode has a clear bump in the mid range. You can hear how the high power amp pushes those mid frequencies. There is a noticable increase in mid bass clarity compared to V1. When pushed on tracks like Ingrid Michelson's The Way I Am - The added mid range bass is a clear advantage. I would not call this "Punchy" Bass however as these speakers are still the same as V1. But the biggest con agains the V2 is the trade off for this slight mid bass is a lack of clarity in the top end. The magic of the V1's air is lost to the attempt to push the passive radiators to create a sense of low end. Not to mention it costs more.
V3 - These speakers were very disappointing to me. They have an even more pronounced muddy top end due to an over accentuated mid range bump. I can see how some could hear this as "more bass" but take my review for what it is - these will not satisfy in the bass section. The worst part is the trade off's due to physics of having such a small speaker. All of these design choices trade ALL of the top end clarity that existed in the V1. They definitely sound more "boxy" and in your face. None of the subtlety of the V1 exists. These speakers sound like tiny speakers trying to be something they are not. Furthermore they cost double what the V1 are currently priced at. They do have a Bluetooth feature if that matters to you.
Note: I also did a blind test with my wife who has a good ear - She also noticed the special clarity of the V1. Also, I did use a high powered USB source for max potential for each of the speakers (I also found little difference between this and using the laptops USB port). For those reviews that talk about more volume - ALL three speakers sound like trash at max volume so I don't think that should be a deciding factor - all three produce acceptable volume.
In conclusion, all three speakers do have very similar frequency responses. They share more similarities than differences. They ALL sound good for what they are: hence the positive reviews for all of them. But after comparing head to head: the V2 and V3 are a compromise in the wrong direction. They are trying to push the wattage of these tiny speakers which can't handle it in the first place. Do yourself a favor... buy the V1 for $18. If all three were the same price I would still choose the V1 for its clarity and detail. When I closed my eyes this speaker evoked an emotional response from me... when the other two only reminded me of its limitations.

They sound great for what they are: Little speakers. Don't expect them to have window-rattling bass. If you're looking for something to please the audiophile ear, look elsewhere. But if you just want to hear basic sounds and music in stereo while you work or play, these are great for the budget PC user.
Super easy hookup, just plug the USB into a free port to provide power, and plug the 1/8" jack into your PC's sound output port. The hardest thing is switching the sound output in your control panel (and that's not hard to do at all).
TLDR: Well worth the price. Good value. Decent sound. Well-made. Look good on your desk.
Top reviews from other countries
Pros:
- Small size, fits on my IKEA DIY L-shaped desk just fine beside my monitor stand.
- Easy to use, comes with type C cable and a C to A adapter so you can plug it into legacy USB ports
- Good range (listening to a Piano Concerto right now and it sounds good). Some bass, not a ton but it's present
- Draws about 100mA at 5W with audio that fills my office (playing some rock music) so any USB port will work in fact lsusb reports the device only requests a max of 300mA
- Good price for the quality
Cons:
- I think you really need USB PD to get the full claimed output but honestly on USB 5V power they're loud and clear enough. I imagine jamming it louder would just amplify any distortion present. So unless you're in a very large open room you don't need to worry about this.
- No grill or cloth cover on the speakers. You can see the cones. Which looks cool but it also going to get all sorts of dirt/lint/etc in it.
- Don't get me wrong they sound very pleasant (good frequency response, no buzzing or other annoying distortions) and I intend to use them until they fall apart, but they're by no means the most full sounding speakers either. I've had better headphones in the same ballpark price range (maybe a bit more expensive). So if you're after monitor quality speakers these ain't it (but they're also way cheaper than monitors).

First and foremost, the design is strikingly modern and minimalist. The sleek, spherical shape and matte black finish complement any workspace or living area. It's a stylish addition to any setup, whether you're using it with your computer, gaming console, or mobile device.
The audio quality is where the Creative Pebble PRO truly shines. Despite its compact size, it packs a punch. The rich and balanced sound output is impressive, and it fills the room with clear, detailed audio. Whether I'm listening to music, watching movies, or gaming, the Pebble PRO never fails to deliver a fantastic audio experience.
The built-in USB-C connectivity is a welcome feature. It not only ensures a stable connection but also simplifies the setup process, eliminating the need for additional cables or power adapters. It's a true plug-and-play experience.
The volume control is conveniently located on the front of the speaker, allowing for quick and easy adjustments. The illuminated LED ring adds a touch of elegance and provides visual feedback on the current volume level.
The Creative Pebble PRO is also surprisingly versatile. It works seamlessly with various devices, from laptops and desktops to gaming consoles and smartphones. It's an all-in-one audio solution that adapts to your needs.
In conclusion, the Creative Pebble PRO is a stellar choice for anyone in search of high-quality audio in a compact and stylish package.
