Package Content & Design
Everything comes well-protected. After taking out the Pebble, you can find USB-C to USB-A converter and some warranty info guides. No user manual as you don’t need one to use this USB powered speakers.
Excellent build quality. Creative never lets me down on their product quality. Rest assures that you are getting the best one from them. Stylish and modern design are what you get from Pebble V2. Small footprint – around the size of a hand palm. Portable and easy to place anywhere you prefer. Beside laptop, PC monitor and so on. Totally up to you.
Alright, there are the USB-C and AUX connectors with long cables. No, it is not a USB DAC speaker. You still to use 3.5mm audio port for output. USB-C is just for power. Do take note. Lastly, do check out all the photos for its design in details…
Performance Result
Creative Pebble V2 is in high gain mode automatically when plugged into a 10W USB-C port. You are getting 8W RMS and peak power of up to 16W then. For USB-A port, you need to change gain switch to H manually. Blue LED light for that. And green colour for normal mode.
The gain switch is located at bottom of Pebble V2. Surrounded by the round anti-skid pad. Yes, Pebble V2 will remain stable even on the loudest volume. Feel free to blast it all day long.
16W can easily fill up the whole large quiet room. More than enough when you are close to it usually. Yup, that’s the passive radiator for more bass.
Sound Quality
Crystal clear and bright sound signature is what you get from Creative Pebble V2. Yes, treble is the star of the show. It basically dominates all the way. Bass is there but don’t expect much. Definitely not subwoofer kind of bass level for sure. For details, highs are sharp and clean. Very bright and crisp. It surely brings up a lot of details especially in musical instruments like trumpet, violin, cymbals and so on. For mids, vocals are getting the same treatment. Clean and clear. Great for those who love to have clear dialog in TV drama. Lows are there but barely. Wish that it has deeper and powerful bass. But giving for its small housing, can’t request much.
