To my ears (listening through the Corsair HS65 headset) the Pebble has a higher, cleaner/clearer overall sound, but less boom in the bass, whereas the G2000 are the exact opposite, noticeably better bass hit, but the overall audio is more muddied/muffled.
I saw this 2 speaker being recommended to me. But seeing how you compare their sounds side to side I can say that the Creative Pebble sounds much better for me. Thank you for testing both in highest volume setting. Edifier sounds like it is inside a dome while the Creative one really blast the sounds which I really like for my speaker. Also, the Minimalist design and a single wire to connect and power the Creative speaker is what sold me. I was never the RGB type and it needs 2 connection.
I bought the G2000 yesterday and i was a little disappointed. It's not as loud as i expected based on the multiple RU-vid reviews. The sub out is actually a stereo line out. The rattling at full volume is due to chuffing sound from the bass reflex port.
Just ordered the pebble v3 purely based on price and yes because they’re white! 😂 … have a white setup and my creative T20 series 2 were an eyesore being black & yellow so fingers crossed they compliment my setup. Great informative review but would have tested on desk rather than the boxes 👍🏻🇬🇧
Nice review! The song you chose works really well to show different sound frequencies. The Pebble does definitely sound tighter but lacking in bass compared to the G2000... It almost seems like it could be like an some older Sennheiser headphones vs Beats headphones. Thank you for the review!
I just got the edifier g2000 speakers. Mostly because they are self powered which i wanted to spare my laptop from powering one more periferal lol. I was putting it through its paces yesterday and never noticed any rattle or even background static while using them so far, im wondering if it was particular to those individual speakers you got. Im thrilled by their sound, especially the bass which i can make even better with a subwoofer later if I want it. I like the subdued lights on it too. Im not a huge rgb fan especially when they are constantly changing, to me its distracting so a solid blue that isnt too bright is nice to me. I almost got the pebbles but it was the active speakers and options on the g2000s that sold me on the extra cost. I just love that we who dont have hundreds to spend on just speakers can have some really decent optons that sound great
@@Berkay-xl4hu I think so too. I've used them quite a bit and never hear anything other than the sound. I thought I heard background buzzing once but it turned out it was the fan on my Nintendo switch I had docked nearby. The speakers are so dead silent besides the sound you want, it made the switch sound loud lol
Funny, I'd want laptop powered speakers as I don't want to stretch the wires to an outlet and have more and longer wires. Though I am a liar as I just bought the Pebble Pro's and they use a 20W USB outlet (by choice). I'm a hot mess.
I came here to find out which is the better sound and in the end, the video proves nothing and just wasted my entire time. sorry but why do a comparison video if theres no outcome. We cannot tell when we are not there. :(
I would bet the rattling on the Edifier is caused by the speaker trying to reproduce lower frequencies than its designed for. It has a sub out, which tells me it is designed to be used with one. I'd be interested in knowing if lows are cut on these if a sub is plugged in. It would make sense to do so, since there is some kind of internal equalization capability, which is why there are separate movie, game and music modes that either boost or cut frequencies.
Now compare Edifier G2000 with Pebble Pro!!! Eveyone is searching for this comparison ;) and test them on desk without boxes anymore, maybe a decibel test also, and make sure to connect Pebble Pros to a 30w charger with PD3.0
The most annoying thing about the pebble is that the cable between the speakers is fixed. You can't extend the size by purchasing a longer cable, it's fixed. So you are very much limited. But in saying that the pebble are the only speaker that I have found that has a single USB cable. This comes in handy when you have two computers and you use a switch.
I don't know what's wrong with your unit but I just watched other videos and the g2000 just outperforms the v3 and even the pebble pros and the pebble 2.1 version by a great margin.
idk maybe I don't hear what others are hearing. The music to me sounds like it was in a tunnel with the Pebble's and the Bass was flat. It didn't quite pump like the edifiers did. But that's my opinion.
I am interested in the Pebble v3 for the price. But I don't want to put them on my desk surface. I want them above my monitor, on a shelf directly above the monitor. Can I position these so they point DOWNWARDS, since they are angled 45 degrees to point up by default?
I thought about various ways to get it off my desk and I don't think it's possible to correctly position them since there are no mounting point on the Pebble.
For desk surface speakers the pebble V3 is the best option and, if your desk is big enough, go for the edifier mr4. In your case of putting the speakers above on a shelf, I highly recommend using only edifier speakers, or bookshelf speakers for short. There is a reddit called budget audiophile which give the best recommendations. Some of these include the Edifier 1280DB which can go for $120AUD or lower if second hand. The edifiers are by far the best speakers in terms of sound quality and positioning (bookshelf), bass and clearness (?). Regarding your suggestion to point them downwards, that would be difficult on a bookshelf. I suppose this could be done if you mount the to the top corners of your wall with a downward mountain. Either way, with edifier speakers the sound will hit your ears quite fine no matter how high it is.
I just got my g2000's in the mail fm ebay and they don't work. They weren't packed good. So I'm not buying a product that when bumped doesn't power up.
