The USB power and audio is a massive convenience for laptop users and anyone will appreciate the easy to access volume knob. The cables connecting them are somewhat flimsy but they provide enough length to configure them properly. They won’t have much bass you can’t expect much considering their size and price. When you don’t push these speakers to their limits, though, they sound warm and balanced. The sound is clear up to almost max volume, at which point you will experience some distortion. It’s not quite enough to throw a dance party but you can easily drown out office noise or other distractions with them. The speakers get decently loud on their own too. This is something basically every set of low-profile speakers should do as it is an easy way to increase projection. The Pebbles are compact and made from a durable plastic casing. The Creative Pebble 2.0 are a balanced pair of USB speakers that provide clear and balanced audio for PC setups that are lacking in available desk space.
