Cyber Acoustics CA-2014
Score: 67/100
Creative Pebble V2
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Creative Pebble V2 provides a compact 2.0 USB-C powered speaker pair with 8 W RMS and passive radiators for enhanced bass. While its minimalist design and gain switch are strengths, the small drivers and a somewhat fragile USB-C connector limit deep bass and durability. It fits well on small desks for basic computer audio.
The Cyber Acoustics CA-2014 provides compact 2.0 desktop audio with magnetic shielding and a modest 4 W output. Its limitations include lack of Bluetooth, reliance on an AC adapter, and modest bass from small drivers. Best for users needing a simple, space-saving speaker solution for basic PC or laptop use.

Professional reviewers consider the Pebble V2 an excellent value proposition, emphasizing its solid build, USB-C convenience, and surprisingly good bass for its size.
