I've had my JBL Pebbles for quite some time now (at least 15 years). I LOVE them for my computer. They produce good, loud, sound. The only complaint is equalization options, none, so I can't maximize the base like I would like to.
Have been using my pebbles going on 2 years now, and still really appreciate them. As mentioned on another review, for an office they work flawlessly and take up very little space on the desk (can stack them too if space is tight). Modern design, great sound quality for size, no flaws or problems, easy usability..worth the money.
The sound quality is good, I like the use of the volume control integration that communicates over the USB port.
The aux input is handy, but hang on, if I plug something in the aux port, I can not play over USB. There is an un-necessary power button that would have been better utilized to switch the input between the USB and aux input sources.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have never connected with computer since i bought, i connected with smart devices, i felt excited when music came out from the pebbles , tight sound and rich bass ,good stereo image , small size but big&great sound
I bought black ones from a third party since you can't get them anymore from JBL and like everyone else mentioned already, they sound great for their size. But what I like the best about them is the fact that they take up so little desk space!
At First They Were Perfect, it worked perfectly for 1-2 years, but now the On/Off Button Brings The Volume Down, If I Try To Turn The Volume Up/Down It Will Mute And Unmute Instead.
Excellent mid and upper range and easy to use and versatile but if you have room for a system with a subwoofer and small satellite speakers this would be preferable. I do not have this option at work so the Pebbles are perfect.
I've purchased two sets of these Pebbles and they are outstanding. I don't think you should give up on them so easily because they are so good. I've been a stereo guy for over 50 years and these, with my Advents, other JBL's, BiC Venturi, Kenwoods, and Altec Lansings. only come in second to Magneplanars. They are that good. The design is worthy of being made into a much larger bookshelf or floor speaker because of the way they distribute the sound. They match the JBL 100 Century speakers you used to make. At least, try to make a pair like that and see if you have the same success. I don't need any more speakers but if you made a big edition, I'd buy them.
