CREATIVEPebble 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 bought these when my old speakers died. Very easy to set up and the quality is excellent given the cost. I’m very happy with them.

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.

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.

Great speakers and subwoofer especially for the price! Easy setup and nice look to them. A little too much bass for me personally but you can open your sound settings and lower it, drop the 125hz frequency down a few/until your liking or look for a bass reduction setting.

I'm not a massive audiophile, but I do prefer flac over mp3, can read music, used to DJ etc etc. I know enough to know what is rubbish and what is good. I was looking for something to tide me over after moving back home from abroad, something cheap until I start investing in more expensive gear.A quick half hour research had these speakers coming up time and time again as the best budget computer speakers. After seeing they were just £35 and included a little sub, I figuredI couldn't go wrong. I have to say that, for the first time in a long time, the Amazon reviews got it right! This really is a great little set-up that will satsify most casual computer users.The kit gets loud enough without losing too much clarity. I rarely go above 50% volume and these don't go to 11 anyway. I listen to electronic music when I'm not video editing, which tends to have quite a wide dynamic range. Mids and highs are great and there's just enough bass for it not to be tinny. These hold their own, even with the volume cranked up. They're not going to fill a room and you can certainly get better quality, but then you're paying hundreds, not tens, of pounds. If you're on a budget or just want to improve on your rubbish monitor speakers, you really can't go wrong with these.

Perfect for a small room desktop setup, sound quality great for the price and ok bass, maybe a tiny bit high on the treble but over all better than buying cheaper ones from amazon as they all sound very thin in comparison. ideal for simple video editing obviously for pro level editing of his end music and video these are not the speakers you need but for the average person editing for YouTube and social media they will more then do the job.

Good Bass, Good Audio Perfect for the price, though a lot of cables build quality is good; it's quite easy to set up as well.

If you are looking for 2 satellite speakers to improve the sound output of your laptop, then these will do the job - and are good value for money at about £35. However, if you want any depth or bass to the sound, these are not suitable. I thought the presence of a subwoofer would provide the depth but it does not. In fact, I was surprised to find that it was connected and I could feel a bit of vibration from it, but there was no appreciable sound. I will be sending the speakers back, having replaced them with a pair of bookshelf speakers.
