Creative Pebble 2.0 vs Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 2.1 Sound System

These speakers are exactly what I expect $40 speakers to sound like. Their biggest crime is that they are extremely bright (very pronounced mid-highs), so if you like rock or metal, you're going to have a bad time; when I'm in my car, I tend to consume content with lots of human speech (bright speakers are great for speech) and I otherwise often listen to synth-heavier music, so I'm overall fine with this sound profile for my use. The bass extends down well enough, but isn't controlled well, so an EQ setting that eases up on bass will be appropriate. Before receiving these in the mail, I worried about how I'd mount them, as they're shaped so that the sound aims upwards towards a user when placed on a desk, and I would be placing them above a curved section of gear cluster with the drivers aimed 45 degrees outwards from myself

I finally had to finally replace my desktop speakers after 12 years and several moves. So I am comparing to what I used to have, which is older. Sound Quality: They will suffice. The low end through the sub is pretty dull, not very deep and doesn't make a really good blend into the music itself

It's just not amazing. It's alright bass. I needed these because the stereo I had in the bedroom is way too loud, the bass is too strong (Not too mention I cannot adjust the bass level) and I do not want to bother my neighbors. These work just fine and I like how portable they are

The highs sound great and they sound clear. But, the bass sounds muddy and cheap. There's definitely a richness and depth that is missing. Disappointing

So annoying that they didn't do removable cables. I broke the USB-C connector on my Creative Pebble v2. Support wouldn't tell me the wiring or pinout.

“Instructions” are a bit (unnecessarily) obtuse – but its only TWO (obvious) wires needed for “connection” to make this system operational (plus the power cord, of course.) Conclusion: while I am personally disappointed in certain respects, I am generally definitely satisfied with this purchase as a matter of “value” … it's fully worth its price.

I have these connected via USB3. Why is that a "caveat" as I call it? When connecting via regular USB, there just isn't enough power to make these things sound good, and I even had connectivity issues that way. There is a switch on the bottom that supposedly makes it handle with the lower power, but honestly, just don't.

00 but worth it - 300 watts of power. loud bass, loud trible, loud mids just excellent. Turns your computer station into a sound system.

The volume on the computer could never get to a point that she could hear; even with hearing aids. These speakers have helped tremendously and the design is attractive. I would recommend!

*smile* Other pros: -- Look nice. Black and silver feel classy to me, and are obviously a step up from the "computer beige" that all my previous computer speakers were. -- Satellite speakers feel weighty in the hand for how small they are, meaning they don't move around when the bass is shaking, and they don't feel cheap. Little rubber feet on the bottom help, too
