I currently own V2 and V3. V3 was a downgrade from V2 as it only allows sound through USB when connected to pc. It does allow bluetooth connectivity on v3 but the sound is so bad you wouldn't ever use it that way as your phone speaker would sound better. These speakers were cheap which is what made them desirable, the sound is barely passable. Now pro comes at this price point because they added rgb and a couple of ports to use it in a manner no one ever will? swing and a miss
Just checked creative, it's listed at $59 not $89

Frequency Response
100–17,000 Hz
This "should" be @ -3dB but they might even fudge the already really bad figure!
Quite frankly a dreadful bass response.
Nowhere near good enough to replace a subwoofer.
Edit 2:
The above is the original pebble.
Worse, the Pebble Pro doesnt state the frequency response, its simply missing from the specifications.

Poor show.
lol, naaa.
Bass strength and depth is dependent on length/volume of the resonant cavity(s) and volume of air moved.
I dont believe these 30W RMS rated pebbles have either in enough quantity to play even a few watts RMS with a flat response + bass under 80Hz, maybe higher! (lower=better)
The bare minimum I would hope for is 60Hz bass at 0dB but even that is missing out on so much. 40Hz or lower is where the real fun starts.
Bass will be neither deep nor strong unless played "very" quiet with a lot of bass EQ, nowhere near the expected volume of a 30W speaker.
They cannot possibly replace a subwoofer, its hype.
Edit:
Found this on creatives site:

They also sell them with a separate sub, which should answer any questions about their low end performance on their own.
