you will not be disappointed by purchasing this Creative Sound Blaster Roar......

This truly stunned me as it ruined a single operation plug and play USB connection to mimic a similar concept of using a dock for a laptop with quick connect and disconnect

In this case, we're talking about the Creative Sound Blaster Roar

The sound blaster sounds harsh in comparison, with the mid range sounds overpowering other ranges.

Al I can relate is that I have had 3 defective Sound Blaster Roar Pro units.

The price is fantastic and you are getting a great value for what you pay.

At this price, this speaker is your best available option and a great value without sacrificing quality.

It's a no brainer for quality as well as value for the price.

This truly stunned me as it ruined a single operation plug and play USB connection to mimic a similar concept of using a dock for a laptop with quick connect and disconnect

All of that combined with the price equals a GREAT value

Hoping to get it replaced being that it was an expensive product.

To me that was as sign the product may just be hype, and no substance

Creative has really gone out of their way to hype up this product

Great product, this speaker has fantastic sound at all levels

This is a great product great sound you will love it!Read more

Great speaker with high quality sound at a great price.

For features alone, I would choose the Roar if price was my main concern

The sound quality is excellent and the price in my opinion isn't to steep either.

I purchased this through a different website, price was actually quite a bit cheaper than Amazon.

The build quality, ease of use, and ultra clear sound make this speaker a great buy for such a good price

This can be resolved with turning the speaker on and off, so it could be the bluetooth connection or interference with my wireless router

This is the best portable bluetooth speaker for its price

This is the best portable bluetooth speaker for its price

The Creative Roar is an outstanding portable Bluetooth speaker.

The bass is just as weak as most small bluetooth speakers

Failure to do this might result in poor sound quality and could explain any poor audio reviews.

The sound quality is very comparable to the Bose but not quite as loud

Sound quality is surprisingly loud and room filling, but not as clean as I would like.

I was looking for good sound quality, and this speaker did not disappoint

The sound quality is good, but not quite what I expected

I typically don't play loud music, but I imagine that the Sound Blaster has enough power in an outdoor setting

Brought the "Roar" to a party and everyone there was very impressed with the sound and how clear the music was

I listen to great music and then take a phone call right from the same speaker

It hooks up easily to my phone or computer, and allows me to play my music not only loud but immersive and expansive

But when you are spending this much of money you at least expect a great bass not just only loud music

I now understand why they added all the unnecessary features; to make up for its lack of quality sound

Forget about paying twice as much for a Bose with the same sound quality but primitive features.

This thing has a bunch of useless features that raise the price when it should have focused on the sound quality.

Great sound, great features, from the roar effect, to the speakerphone, to the recorder

the Sound Blaster Roar has a bunch of other great features

Great sound quality, great bass, and great connectivity

The sound quality is astounding, and the bass sounds very good for a small portable speaker

Incredibly clear sound and pretty good bass for the size

The bass is excellent and the sound quality is very clear.

These opposing radiators enhance bass response and widen the soundstage

The device loses the second half-star for this omission

If you are looking for a portable sound device, look no further.

Excellent device for the anyone looking to enjoy their music library on their portable devices or from streaming services

so if I use it as a portable device I can take my music with it and not worry about having to use bluetooth

Otherwise, the device is great and i'd still recommend it.

Even when both units were lying flat, the Roar 2 seemed to be slightly louder

The new Sound Blaster Roar 2 is really kind of a mystery to me

I was in the market for a bluetooth speaker and narrowed it down to the Creative Sound Blaster Roar and the one from Bose.

Each of those were twice as expensive as the Roar and didn't sound half as good.

If high quality sound is what you want, The Creative Sound Blaster Roar is for you

All in all this is a great unit with a very powerful sound in a very compact size

She suggested that my unit was defective and offered to send me a replacement.

All in all, I highly recommend this unit if you want great sound in a small package

Was very pleased with the sound quality coming from such a compact unit.

The Roar is great except that when the battery dies, the unit is dead

The Creative Sound Blaster Roar knocks the competition out of the water

It is half the price of the Soundlink 3 but it gives tough competition in sound quality

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features

At $150 it absolutely kills the competition at a lower price point

Fantastic!I was *this close* to ordering another compact speaker (rhymes with rose) when I happened upon a review for this little beast

Sound QualityLet's begin with the caveat that despite its heft, the Roar is still a small, bluetooth speaker, and as great as the sound quality is, it ultimately won't compare to a true wired component system.

One of the problems with that unit besides its high cost is it sits on the narrow edge making it too easy to tip over if you bump the surface it sits on

I am surprised that it can be as loud and full of bass as it is

You will surely see scratches on the bottom feet if placed on rough surfaces

It is difficult to compare the Sound Blaster Roar to other portable speakers because it is a big step up in audio quality and features from anything I have seen in its price range, making it an excellent choice for daily use as a primary personal speaker, especially where space is limited, as well as for portable use.

The Big Jambox is probably the more fragile of the three if dropped due to its metal screen covering.

Not as refined as the Big Jambox but I can live with it

However, the hiss on the Roar 2 is much, much less audible than say, my Jawbone Big Jambox, which has a (subjectively) very audible noise to me, especially in quiet environments with music at low-volume

The Big Jambox sounds a little brash to me at times where the other two sound crisp and smooth

I've boughten 5 of the media popular brand B/T speakers over the last year and they embarrass the music and frustrate my ears

My ears have been deprived for 43 years of a truly great listening experience

I made the wise decision of testing the volume about 2 feet from my face.. my poor ears

Like I said before it fits my purpose for easy listening as well as for a small indoor and outdoor party.

The ROAR button is great for big rooms or noisy environments and really boosts the sound volume as well as the sound quality

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features

Some may be frivolous but he majority are useful t and work quite well

However, the hiss on the Roar 2 is much, much less audible than say, my Jawbone Big Jambox, which has a (subjectively) very audible noise to me, especially in quiet environments with music at low-volume

but I do use the "Roar" button in such a noisy environment

Most Bluetooth AD2P compresses audio from the source and decompresses it at the sink (Speaker or BT Headset), so you lose audio quality from normal Bluetooth, as well as gain background noise

However, the hiss on the Roar 2 is much, much less audible than say, my Jawbone Big Jambox, which has a (subjectively) very audible noise to me, especially in quiet environments with music at low-volume

No annoying sound or light notifications - just an on and off noise, a chirp to let you know you are connected to a device, a tiny power on light, and 3 tiny lights that indicate battery levels

The Sound Blaster Roar SR20A has got to be one of Creative’s stellar flagship devices at this time

However, since I acquired the second Roar, I noticed my first Roar make a funny chirping noise sometimes when I restart the computer where the second Roar was connected to.

Definitely a bit louder than the Bose, and the sound is a lot clearer and bassy than the Bose can get at max level; the great deep Bose sound degrades at high-max volumes

I must admit I was a bit skeptical about it when I laid my hands on it

Once I ordered it, i will admit I was a bit skeptical because the reviews were so positive, but I am happy to say that it is by far the best portable speaker we have come across.

Fantastic!I was *this close* to ordering another compact speaker (rhymes with rose) when I happened upon a review for this little beast

The highs distort a bit on the Jambox at higher volumes but are smooth on the other two

The wrap around metal grill and metal grills over the passive bass radiators on the sides of the speaker give this a very sophisticated look

Sound QualityLet's begin with the caveat that despite its heft, the Roar is still a small, bluetooth speaker, and as great as the sound quality is, it ultimately won't compare to a true wired component system.

Specially, I like 2 passive radiators located at sides

it's louder plugged in but is just not as loud when in the mobile mode.

The Roar function is best used when the speaker is plugged in to AC power with the power adapter as it takes advantage of having the extra power available when plugged in

This truly stunned me as it ruined a single operation plug and play USB connection to mimic a similar concept of using a dock for a laptop with quick connect and disconnect

It is absolutely AMAZING plugged into the computer, unbelievable for this price of speaker.

I also have a carbon audio pocket speaker, a big jambox, & a g-project g-boom, even though I have a variety to choose from depending on my mood, & where I'll be listening to my music, my soundblaster roar has proven its worth among my speakers

It was totally unusable for video because of very very bad audio/video sync problems.

as frustrating as the negatives are, the sound is so good for classical music that I chose to put up the dumb problems (and they are really dumb!

As a hip hop fan, the one problem I always had was the bass blowing out my other speakers

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features

The only problem we noticed with Bose speaker is that it lacked other options besides bluetooth (which was a bit flakey to begin with) and very heavy on the bass with no option to adjust it

Just got this bad boy today, the build and sound from this little thing is amazing

This is my review of the Creative Roar Pro after listening to these bad boys for about a week__________DESIGN: The design of the Pro is actually very reminiscent to the Roar 1 and 2

The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features
