When I left my role as a home and design writer to cover technology, I didn’t expect to be so disheartened by the lack of aesthetic appeal in many tech devices, especially those intended for in-home use. I often wonder why it seems so challenging for manufacturers to create tech products that are both visually pleasing and functional. However, there have been pleasant surprises, such as the Creative’s Pebble V3 desktop PC speakers, which have managed to impress me with their combination of clear sound, eye-catching design, and affordability at just $35. In a world of underwhelming tech designs, these speakers stand out as a delightful exception.
One of the most appealing aspects of the Pebble V3 speakers is their small size, making them a versatile and convenient addition to any desk or gaming setup without sacrificing volume. Standing at just 4.8 inches tall and possessing a similar width and depth, these speakers sport a unique half-moon design. The speaker at the center is a metallic gold, and the exterior comes in a choice of white or black. The availability of white speakers is already a rarity, but when combined with the luxurious gold accent, it creates an effortlessly chic appearance that complements a variety of interior aesthetics. I was particularly pleased with how well the white and gold design of the speakers paired with my Tears of the Kingdom OLED Switch, creating a cohesive and visually appealing setup in my office.
The two speakers are connected by a 4.4-foot white cord that cannot be detached, ensuring that they remain together as a pair. Additionally, there’s a built-in white USB-C cord for power and sound connectivity. While the included 3.5-mm audio cable contrasts as the sole black cord, it does not need to be used for sound input, providing flexibility in how the speakers are set up.
In terms of sound performance, the Pebble V3 speakers deliver a surprisingly robust audio experience despite their small form factor. I was initially skeptical about the speakers’ ability to fill a room with sound, but my concerns were quickly dispelled when my husband had to text me, “I can hear your game over the sound machine,” from the opposite side of our apartment. This unexpected reminder of the exceptional sound projection of the speakers was a pleasant surprise, proving that great things can indeed come in small packages.
