Pebble X and X Plus launch

In the vast, wild world of audio tech, giants often overshadow the little guys. This is what makes Creative’s Pebble series so unique. They are the little speakers that could, both literally and figuratively. They are so small you can hold them in the palm of your hand, but also deliver impressive audio. These desktop speakers can compete with other premium speakers while keeping prices pocket-friendly and looking really cool. Creative Pebble speakers start at just $29! But we’re not here to talk about the cheapest models today. The star of the show today is the Pebble X series, an upgrade for those who need an even more premium pulse out of these pocket-friendly beats.

The new Creative Pebble X and Pebble X Plus offer a great proposition to those who want quality desk speakers at a price that will not break the bank. These aren’t your grandpa’s speakers; they offer impressive specs like 30W RMS and a peak power of 60W. You can also have them in 2.1 or 2.0 configurations, and they feature both wired and wireless connections. The best part? They come with customizable RGB lighting!

The Creative Pebble X series is by no means alone here. Creative has a wide range of options from which you can choose. Sporting sleek and minimalist designs, each product in the Pebble lineup offers powerful audio performance packed into a small footprint.

All these Pebble speakers have high-quality drivers and built-in passive radiators that produce clean and balanced sound with rich bass. Whether it’s the Pebble V3 for versatile connectivity, the Pebble Plus for enhanced bass performance, or the Pebble Pro for immersive audio in a compact form factor, the Pebble family has something for everyone’s preferences, needs, and, of course, budgets. It’s the ideal choice for users seeking an audio upgrade for their desktop or entertainment setups.

Hit up Creative’s website to learn more about its product portfolio, get all the specs, and purchase whichever you prefer. This song goes on, though. Creative has also launched its latest and greatest Pebble X and Pebble X Plus. We’ll cover everything about these in the rest of this article.

These speakers have a very special design. The Pebble X and X Plus don’t just sit on your desk; they own it. They look both minimalist and fun, thanks to the customizable RGB lighting. Creative has once again proven that you can have your stylish speaker and listen to it, too. All while keeping the price low.

We all love RGB, right? There’s no doubt it’s part of the allure here. These lighting effects can be customized and reproduce 16.8 million colors, so you can fine-tune these to your exact preferred hue. Those who don’t want to overcomplicate their lives can also use one of the six default presets.

When it comes to blasting your favorite tunes, the Pebble X and X Plus don’t play around. Well, they do, but you know what we mean. These get upgraded all around.

For starters, these units come with 2.75-inch full-range drivers, ensuring the sound quality is better than the Pebble series has ever offered. When connected via USB-C to a computer, these can handle 15W RMS and 30W peak power. Grab a fast USB-C wall charger with support for 30W or more, and these numbers can be doubled to 30W RMS and 60W peak power.

Additionally, the Pebble X Plus also comes with a compact subwoofer, making your bass go boom without taking much room.

Connectivity and compatibility: No strings attached (unless you want them)

Gone are the days of fumbling with cables like you’re defusing a bomb. The Pebble X and X Plus come equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, allowing you to easily connect wirelessly. But for those who prefer a more traditional approach, USB audio playback and the good ol’ 3.5mm jack are there to keep you tethered. And with the Creative app, customizing your audio is as easy as pie.

Features and enhancements: More bells and whistles than a one-man band

Hardware is only half the battle. Creative has also included some software enhancements that will make your general listening experience much better. With Dialog+ technology, the dialogues in your movies will be clearer. And BassFlex? It’s like having a mini-concert in your room, minus the crowds and overpriced snacks. And if you’re pickier about the audio, there’s also Acoustic Engine, Creative’s advanced equalizer.

You can customize your experience using the Windows, Android, or iOS app.

Let’s talk turkey. The Pebble X and X Plus offer great quality and value for the price you pay. Of course, they are also the best Creative Pebble speakers around, so you’ll have to pay a bit more for them, too.

The Creative Pebble X costs $90. If you want to upgrade to the Pebble X Plus, you’ll have to pay $130.

Available for pre-order, these speakers are about to make waves, and not just the sound kind. And with the Creative app available on all your favorite platforms, getting started is as easy as pressing play.

Wrapping up: The Pebble That Became a Mountain

In a world where size often matters, the Pebble X and X Plus prove that great things can also come in small packages. We believe Creative has once again outdone itself, offering a pair of speakers that seem to deliver on quality, affordability, and sheer coolness. We believe it’s a good option, and we’ll try to test them soon enough to give you a more in-depth opinion.

They offer a compelling mix of sound quality, design, and features that justify their price tags. However, potential buyers should consider their specific needs and whether the additional features of the X Plus model, such as the enhanced bass and customizable lighting, are worth the premium.
