Need a sweet set of speakers for your build but space is at a premium? Creative has your back! The award-winning Creative Pebble series is back with an all-new look. Meet the Creative Pebble Nova Premium 2.0 USB Speaker system.

Creative has several released several versions of the Pebble speaker system to fit your audio needs.  With the Pebble Nova Premium you get more power and that unique 45-degree soundstage. Let’s take a look!

The Pebble Nova may look like the Pebble X Plus we reviewed last year, but its actually much larger. With the Pebble Nova, you can get the black finish you see here or a pure white set. Both have the same bronze drivers making a nice accent. The overall look is pretty classy and unlike anything else we have seen in the Labs.
