YourPC/MAC should always be at max volume because your pc/Mac degrades the audio quality to lower the volume. Always use volume on the speakers for best sound quality.
Partially true. Some operating systems like Android reduce the volume of the digital audio signal before sending it out to the DAC, which does technically degrade the quality because the audio signal has a finite resolution. A reduction in volume means you're only using part of the resolution. Other operating systems support sending the digital audio signal at full resolution and instead instruct the DAC to configure its gain according to the system volume level. Assuming the DAC does what it's supposed to and reduces the internal amp gain instead of reducing volume digitally, this does not degrade audio quality. The Apple USB-C DAC is notable for imposing a volume cap if it does not receive instructions to adjust gain, this happens when it is connected to most Android devices. However, it operates properly when connected to iOS/macOS/Windows devices, suggesting they support the "better" volume control method. Though there is an argument to be made if the "inferior" volume control method employed by operating systems like Android is even audible in the first place.
Been a week and Creative tech support still hasn't answered my email. Speakers refuse to show up at all on the list of devices. I've tried uninstalling all audio devices then restarting, trying multiple USB ports I know work (i.e. keyboard/mouse), updated all drivers, and still they don't show up in Sound Devices section. The green light is on so I know it's getting power. All my USB ports are the standard 3.0. Do I need an adapter maybe? I'm just gutted. Was so excited at the reviews and waited weeks to get delivered (was delayed 2x) and now they sit here like paperweights. EDIT: Using Windows 10 PC and have the standard Pebble 2.0
@@ToolsElectroDIYGoing to return them I suppose. Absolutely no technical support and no use keeping speakers that refuse to be recognized by the computer. :(
Bruh they’re like $18. Just return them or buy another pair. Jesus Christ. U sound like a child. Plus are u dumb? U plug in usb to power and 3.5mm to your computer. Did u even read the manual? Creative probably didn’t answer your email because they can see you’re obviously retarded.
I accidentally bought a set of Pebble 2 speakers, turns out I actually needed Pebble 3. The Pebble 2's still need a 3.5mm jack for audio - the Pebble 3's are entirely USB-C. I thought all the Pebble's were entirely USB-C, I thought wrong.
@@JoeyLoey445 I did just that with a two-port wall charger for both the speakers and the monitor light bar. Works pretty well and no need to connect it to the laptop!

@@ToolsElectroDIY I don't expect an audio sample review as well, but let the audio plays for a little 30 seconds and it will help the audience to get a feeling of the speaker then we'll back to listening to your review.
DO NOT BUY THESE. they don't work they are just paperweights. Does not work on my PC or my laptop. I tried everything, reinstalling audio driver, different power sources, different USB ports, different audio jack ports. Nothing. These things are junk.

that makes a horrible interference noise and poteintiallyy clips the amp and ruins the speakers..
Thank u for the advice💜 Ikr it should be yeah get what you mean it's better for experience

My speakers are 3.5mm plug only

Very useful, thanks for the video.
any time
Can it take the power source from 3.5mm jack? Say if I want to connect it directly to my monitor.
No, you can't. USB power must be connected.
you can plug the usb cable to a usb power supply and just stick that to any power outlet
@@JoeyLoey445 I did just that with a two-port wall charger for both the speakers and the monitor light bar. Works pretty well and no need to connect it to the laptop!
is it worth buying in 2024? or would you recommend something else in this similar price range?
Yes. No other recommendations
Can they be used independently?
no
Do the knife come with the product
nope
This might be a dumb question, but will the speaker work if I connect the usb to my samsung charger?
No, it will not work. The USB is for power only.

@@ToolsElectroDIYNgl for a tech channel thats a pretty stupid response, hes talking about powering it with the charger
Can you use it on a ps5?
yes, with your controller
are they good??
Decent for its size
My monitor only have 1 usb so will it work if i plug in the 3.5mm to my monitor and the usb to my xbox?
yes
i got these speakers but they give bass on phone but when I connect it with my PC they don't give bass. what could be the reason?
your EQ setting?
Is it worth to get?
@@ErdoganDSama yes
@@ToolsElectroDIY sir i use desktop, is it possible this speaker to connect it with the desktop? Or is it only for laptops?
Are these speakers better than the MacBook Pro's internal speakers?
yes
Honestly man, I'm trying to listen. But you keep commenting every 2 seconds lol
Thanks for your feedback. It was not meant to be an audio sample review.

Name of the music?
I don't remember
@@ToolsElectroDIY what the F bro

Idk the 2nd one
late but its by Jeick Abrego - One step closer
How is the bass
Reasonable for its size.

it uses 3.5 mm audio cable, not USB.
lol just cause your dumbass got a bad batch doesn't mean people shouldn't buy it. What a stupid take.
I plugged it in a usb and everything and it doesn’t work???? Doesn’t show up on my desktop at all.
It’s not a USB speaker. It is only powered by USB you need to plug in the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
You need 2 cables for power and audio with V2. Get V3 if you want 1 USB cable to provide BOTH audio and power BUT you need a USB-C port.
@@anderu0779what would happen if i use a usb c to usb a dongle on that
same problem except there was no fix. I had to return them to Amazon.
