Digital Trends

Despite their higher price and bigger footprint, the Pebble Nova retain many of the ingredients of their smaller siblings. You still get the familiar spherical shape with 45-degree up-angled drivers, passive rear radiators, and customizable LED lighting, but Creative has revamped the acoustic architecture considerably.

The Pebble Nova beats all my bookshelf speakers in delivering lower-frequency musical elements to my ears, something that subwoofers could not achieve as they are designed more for “feels”. It would have been perfect if the treble can bring more sparkle and highlight to balance the heavy sound, and fortunately the perfection can be achieved by applying EQ the way you like it.

Customer Reviews

F. Kaminski

I have owned Creative products for years. This is the best Creative product I have ever owned and I'm really glad I purchased it. The only missed opportunity with this device by Creative is not making SXFI available.

K. Hibiki

c. karas

In a short review and only plugged with t100 speakers the product worth the money. Easy install and update too. Been connected with T100speakers via optical connection the speakers sing. Great improvement from super x fi hd.. Very detailed presentation and creation of center speaker. I can't wait to plug it to my 1995 Michi system. Well done.creative !!!. I also liked that despite the luck of some features such as sub out, XLR etc, the product kept the price low but with minimum compromises for quality..
