Product Information

The most basic PC speaker systems have no controls of their own, and you just have to control the outputs once you’ve connected them to your computer. If the speakers you’re considering include these controls, be sure they’re easily reachable: on the left or right speaker or satellite, or on a control pod or remote control, rather than on the back of a subwoofer that will reside under your desk, for instance. Having said that, 88% of parents we surveyed* found it quick and easy to install, scoring it 8/10 or higher. They may not look it, but we found the G2000 to deliver full, rich audio with fairly-balanced mids and clear high-end.

Its attractive LED display can be personalised, while connection options are wide-ranging and enable you to use the bar with your TV as well as your PC.These additional connection options are very welcome and mean the MR1 can gamely double up as TV speakers if you don’t own a soundbar. If you want something that can shake the walls whenever there’s an explosion in the game you’re playing or movie you’re watching, you’ll want a system with a subwoofer. It's very easy to get a baby in and out of the seat because the straps are designed to stay open and out of the way once the harness is unlocked.

The bass is rich and, while the treble isn’t quite as impressive, it was still pleasant to listen to in our tests. Like the V2, the V2 X is customisable via the Razer Audio app and Razer Synapse software but is a standalone soundbar and even more compact than the V2 at just 400mm wide. The Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus comes with a small instruction booklet, which contains 16 pages of diagrams on using the car seat in different situations, like in the car using either the seatbelt or an ISOFIX base, on your buggy frame, and in an aeroplane. And if you value your hearing health or an elevated auditory experience, we recommend investing in a pair or a system. Despite the “decorative and non-operational” (to quote Logitech) tweeters, the system produces a nicely balanced and detailed sound that should suit most circumstances.The fabric is soft and stretchy, but there is a gap between the canopy and the handlebar when it’s fastened, so it might not necessarily keep off all the sun. Plus, the Clear Dialog audio processing also offers clearer spoken dialogue so you can hear every word without having to crank up the volume, and without sacrificing the ambient effect. There is a small grey button on each side of the car seat, which can be pressed in individually to release the car seat from the buggy, so you can do this with just one hand. The Creative Pebble Plus looks like the old Pebble with an added subwoofer, but that’s not entirely the case. If you like the look of the S3000 Pro but want a more compact and affordable option, Edifier’s S2000 MKIII are well worth checking out.

Using the bespoke 2wayFix base, which is essentially an ISOFIX base, the Pebble Plus can be used until your baby is around 12 months old, before moving onto the 2wayPearl car seat, which can be used rear-facing and forward-facing till your child is 4.

I was the happy owner of a Maxi-Cosi Pebble with my first child so using the Pebble Pro felt like being reunited. You can tailor the sound to your liking using volume, bass and treble knobs located on the rear of the right speaker and there are also four EQ profiles that can be accessed via the included IR remote. The bass does sound more distorted when the song itself has heavy bass in it, but the real sacrifice here is in the mids, and to a lesser extent, the highs. While a strong case can be made for the best PC gaming headsets or best headphones, there will be times when you want to take those off your head and give your outer ear a bit of respite.
