Like the smartphone market, more and more accessories brands have bee popping up lately with some really quality products, one such brand is Pebble. In the past, we have covered a fitness brand from them and now we bring their newest offering, Pebble Dome.
Now Pebble Dome is a small Bluetooth speaker coming at a sub INR 1,600 price tag and for that amount of dough, promises a lot to deliver. So, let’s dive in and see if the Dome actually performs or not.
Design
Now Dome, as the name suggests, comes in a cylindrical body with a flat top and bottom. The speaker does not that bring and easily fits in your palm. There have been quality materials used in the construction with the whole body covered in a fabric mesh. Now this mesh resembles the ones used on the Google Home Mini and Amazon Echo Dot Gen 3, though the quality of the yarn in better on the two.
Overall, the build the speaker feels very sturdy and solidly builds.
Setup & Connectivity
The Pebble Dome can be paired very easily with iOS and Android devices over Bluetooth. When you turn it on the first time, the speaker goes into pairing mode. Android users can go into Bluetooth settings and can see Pebble Dome in the available devices.
As previously mentioned, you get a host of connectivity options apart from the usual Bluetooth. You get a full USB for sticking in a Thumb drive, AUX port, and MicroSD card slot. For charging the in-built battery, there is a micro USB charging port.
Sound Quality and Battery
Talking about the audio quality, the speaker is loud with good lows and highs. The sound signature is more towards the bass side and is ideal for loud music. Sometimes the speaker gets too sharp but we liked the level of loudness this speaker can achieve at least for its size.
The speaker comes with a 1,500mAh battery which on paper might seem low but is completely opposite in real life. We managed to get close to 6 hours of music playback on a single charge.
Pros
- Sturdy Design
- Long battery life
- Ease of use
Cons
- Longer charging times
- Muddy mids
Verdict – Should you go for it?
For what its worth, the Pebble Dome seems to us as a very competitive product in a sea of Bluetooth speakers. Coming at INR 1,699 you get a lot for the money, in terms of decent quality built and sound quality. With the current gifting season, the Pebble Dome is a great product for your loved ones.
