- Creative for this Creative Pebble Pro Minimalistic 2.0 USB-C Speakers with Bluetooth 5.3 & Customizable RGB Lighting and Creative Pebble V3
Package Content & Design
Everything comes well-protected just like other Creative’s products. Rest assured that it will arrive at your doorstep in perfect condition. Once taken out the Pebble Pro, there are 3.5 mm AUX-in cable, USB-C to USB-C cable, USB-C to USB-A cable, warranty info and quick start guide (in multiple languages). As usual, take your time to go through it to know more about Pebble Pro.
Excellent build quality as usual just like V3. Same size too. In short, rock solid with sturdy plastic housing. It is loaded with the same 2.25” full-range speaker drivers but re-engineered this round. All cables are detachable except for the long 1.8m right to left speaker cable. And you can’t miss the newly added RGB lighting at the bottom.
Yes, it supports a single USB-C cable which provides both audio and power. AUX cable for older devices. Lastly, the best part – it supports external power source through USB-C PD port. You can enjoy 30W RMS power output then from the usual 10W RMS. Isn’t that great?
2 new ports are added too – headsets / headphones and microphone. Enjoy private listening time when needed.
Software
Pebble Pro works perfectly fine without any software. But you can enjoy more goodies with Creative App. Yup, SmartComms Kit and Mixer are there for you once installed. FYI, you don’t need it if you don’t use microphone at all.
VoiceDetect helps to mute and unmute automatically. No action requires from your end. As for NoiseClean, it removes unwanted noisy distractions from both ends of the conversation in real time. Great features for gaming and meeting no doubt.
Performance Result
Creative Pebble Pro supports USB audio thanks to the built-in DAC. Just plug it to your Windows PC or Mac, and you can start to enjoy it. By the way, Android devices are supported too. And the best part – everything is processed by itself. So you can get the best and clean audio from Pebble Pro.
Outstanding Bluetooth range! One of the best Bluetooth devices that I have tested. Period. Pebble Pro can reach up to 10m+ with obstacles like wall easily. Furthermore, it has virtually no lag between video and audio. Therefore, it is great to play games, watch movie on your smartphone and tablet. All thanks to the latest Bluetooth 5.3 chipset.
20W can easily fill up the whole large quiet room. More than enough when you are close to it usually. Yes, that’s the passive radiator for more bass. Guess what? You can enjoy extra deep powerful bass through the latest BassFlex technology. All you need to do – connect Pebble Pro to a 30W USB PD adapter. That’s all. FYI, the extra 40W is for bass…
Of course, you can’t miss the attractive RGB LED lights. Pick the single solid colour that you prefer. Or cycle through 3 lighting effects. Totally up to you.
Sound Quality
The best minimalistic 2.0 USB-C speakers by Creative yet! Period. Yes, Creative has done an excellent job on tuning Pebble Pro. One of the limitations of Pebble series – lack of powerful deep bass is solved. I can’t believe that you can actually enjoy impactful deep bass from such small profile speakers. Extra 30W PD power source and BassFlex technology help to save the day. No dedicated subwoofer is needed.
Crisp and clear sound with amazing deep bass. Pebble Pro has V-shape sound signature. The treble is bright and clean. Thankfully, the sharpness is reduced when compared to V3. No worries, it is still bright as Clear Dialog is still here. The highs should behave like this. For mids, it is getting warm touch here and there. Much more natural and nicer vocals this round. Lows are the stars of the show. You can actually feel the bass bumping when close the speakers. Of course, not subwoofer kind of power level. But almost there. In short, it is a pleasure to use Pebble Pro for music, gaming and movie.
