Creative Pebble Pro vs Logitech Z207 Comparison and Review - Best sounding budget speaker?

[@mDayShamangahabash]

I've owned the Z207 for years, the best way to get mileage off of it is by using a software EQ, and not to have the volume knob too high (I keep it at 10 o'clock). However all Pebble models are not only recent, but evidently offer much better audio quality, especially the Pebble Pro, so I'd recommend either V3 or Pros anytime over Z207 or less from Logitech.

Creative it is, I was debating myself on which one to choose since they have a close range price, Preebles are currently cheaper on Amazon, thanks for the video bud

I picked up the Logitech Z207, seriously disappointed in Logitech. The sound muddy, bland, no bass, treble tones are muted. Basically, don't waste your money. Keep looking around.

I am now confused - Z207 in Canada has Bluetooth connectivity too. And I just want to ask, the Pebble Pro - does audio signal and power comes from one USB cable, or has to be two?

From my own research and reading the manual, the Pebble Pro will work fine with either 10W supplied to USB-A (Supplied adapter) or Type C connector. There's a separate USB-C port that requires 30W PD (Power Delivery) power source in order to push the speaker to it's maximum potential. So you can use only the USB-C for both audio source and power input (10W capable). Plug in an 30W capable PD charger to the extra USB-C power port for better audio quality (?) and bass. I've just ordered the Pebble Pro. Should be arriving soon. I have a Lenovo Legion laptop with a USB-C port capable of 15W charging. So Once it arrive I will test it out. I'm not sure if most laptop's USB-C port is capable of supplying 10W+ of PD power or not. I'm guessing that if you decide to use USB-A then your option is to connect it to a 10W capable power bank or charger while the audio is supplied through the AUX port (You need 2 cables). As far as I'm aware of USB 2.0 is capable of supplying around 2.5W while 3.0 is capable of supplying around 4.5W only. Also I recall a YT review mentioning that the audio is worse with AUX input. This is understandable as I also recall some BT headphone reviews also mentioned similar issue. If you use AUX port then analog audio is probably channeled directly to the speakers whereas if you use the USB-C port then digital audio is passed to the speaker's DSP for enhancement and then amplified through the speakers.

I finally pushed myself to make some clarification and updates after using this speaker for months. Hopefully I didn't make mistake as I've only briefly tried something and I could of have forgotten and made mistake. Feel free to correct me. You can still supply audio and power through USB-A to Type C connector. The sound may not be adequate due to limited power. I just tested if it works or not. Have not given some listening time. Due to the angled driver. You need to sit close and be in direct path of the drivers to experience the full quality sound. For those of lesser ears(?) it probably won't matter. Just compare it to be similar to whether you're plugging in 30W extra PD power or not. I'm no audiophile but plugging in 30W PD power seems to increase the loudness slightly and increase the bass. Except for watching action movies and certain genres of music I prefer not to have the increased bass. I'm not a bass head. Type C power cables rated for higher powers will not work. I'm guessing those cables supporting over 60W-65W and/or with e-marker chips. I've a few cables rated for 100W and they wouldn't work. This is for when plugging into the standard Type C port in the speaker for audio and power. I don't recall if I've tested the 30W PD port. No comment on the Bluetooth feature since I've never needed it until now. So I've yet to test. Oh and if you want a table lamp for when no laptop/PC are connected to the speaker. You can leave your 30W PD power plugged in and the speaker will light up.

I kind of wish you compared the pebble pro to the g2000 from edifier being the same size almost

[@deegee2416]

Same size but huge price difference. I think he is comparing budget speakers. $10 to $50 range. Where is the g2000 edifier is in the $100 range. It's interesting to note that Logitech Z207 and Logitech Z200 computer speakers are being over charged. I notice people saying they bought them for $20 to $25 when they came out. Now they raised the price to $60. I wanted one. But the problem is if I'm going to spend $60 for speakers (just $20 speakers in the first place!) than I might as well get a $100 high quality pair.

There is a sound test g2000 and pebble V3 on KZbin.
