Great stereo sound for your Mac at an affordable price.
For around the cost of a meal out, Creative is underselling and overdelivering with these criminally cheap 2.1 stereo speakers that cost around £35. Surprisingly at this price point, the speakers actually come with a subwoofer (hence the Plus’ in the product’s moniker). The sub could be a bit sturdier, but there’s a 4in down-firing driver inside which is capable of pumping out 4W of bass.
There’s a slight slant to the speakers themselves, which is a relatively minor – yet still significant – move. Often, computer speakers either face straight ahead or offer a slight angle. Here, both speakers have been set to a 45° angle, pointing them towards your ears. Not only does this give the Pebble Plus a more unique look, but it helps with sound direction, too. Each speaker houses a 2in mid-range driver and provides 2W of audio.
In terms of connections, you get the audio connector for the subwoofer, plus a 3.5mm aux-in and USB plug. The Pebble Plus has no mains adapter and instead draws power from its USB-A port.
