This sound blaster sounds very good deep bass and clear mid and highs and the volume is quite ample for most applications

TeraBass use while listening at low volume really enhances the bass similar to Loudness setting on older type amplifiers.

(Whether these features are useful is a different issue.)3) Decent bass (~80Hz+)-mid-treble sound from within a 2-foot range and within a relatively enclosed space.4) Battery lasts several hours at full listening volume

However, the reviews claiming that the bass is limited at the low end are incorrect, as the placement of the unit and/or utilization of the TERA bass significantly affect output

The dual amps deliver a transparent mix of brilliant crisp highs, smooth intelligible mids, and warm weighty bass.

This thing gets loud and has good bass

, the bass is good enough to get your heading bobbing but for those looking for Beats type of Bass you will need to look elsewhere

awesome sound clarity, decent bass response, great battery life, the ability to load a micro sd card makes this a very flexible device, and yes it will fill a room with very clear crisp sound, music, movie, or even playing a game on a tablet, just fantastic.(edit

Great bass

The bass on this thing sucks even with the base boost button

and it is hard to pin point where it is that great bass is unbelievable and clear

The bass is strong, and there is real separation in tones

It's more than adequate and clean bass that I love about this

Overall I would describe the bass as better than you would expect for the size, but not revolutionary

Adequate bass.

It is for this reason alone that I have reduced my rating to 4 stars instead of 5 because I think having unprotected passive bass radiators is a big mistake

and it was impressive for its size and did the job of filling the shop, but very little bass or depth

Good bass.

It has a TeraBass mode that enhances mostly just the bass

From Nicki Minaj's " Super Bass" to Disney's " Frozen" soundtrack, this little mean machine is a BEAST !!!

Impressive bass and well-rounded highs and mids.

Lows/bass is loud enough, tight, but not as deep and pronounced as the Bose

The bass is very strong and distinct with a built-in subwoofer

You can turn the Roar option on and it boosts the bass and loudness

After about a week, the speaker sounds "broken in" producing slightly more bass

Nice bass and can get very loud.

Bass is nice too and the TerraBass function at low levels helps fill out the sound

the bass is loud and powerful through all volumes

The clarity and spatial sound not to mention the amazing bass that it projects is second to none

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

Bass is a little exaggerated.

The terra bass feature did not do much to improve the bass, just made the sounds even "mushier"

this speaker changes all that and gives a rich full bass filled sound through the whole shop

It has the capability to have more bass but for bluetooth it gets the job done

Even so, most speakers fail to produce good rich bass, so Bose owners have something to be proud of

Has good bass and lots of functionality that many other Bluetooth speakers don't have, like phone charging, speakerphone and line-in mp3 encoding/recording functions.

The roar and tetra bass excellent

The ROAR button really boosts the bass nicely.

The ROAR button really boosts the bass nicely.

It is loud and has great bass for a speaker of its size

To my ears, 3/4 volume is the sweet spot where the bass really kicks in and the highs, mids and lows all work perfectly.

The bass is great in a normal size room in a home but doesn't have much oomph outside.

Sony SRSX5Pros: Good highs, mids and lows, pretty good bass comparable with the Creative Roar

Mini Bluetooth Speaker and, to my taste, the Roar produced a much better sound quality (louder, richer, deeper bass)

If you're looking for a speaker with tons of features and great clear highs then this is the way to go, but in my situation I was looking for something that has deep lows with enough bass to "feel" the notes

Add to that all the other features, (very portable, long battery life, speaker phone, push button sound boost with the Roar button, separate bass boost for low playing levels, microSD support), just to name a few and you end up with a quality product at a great price.

Great sound quality, great bass, and great connectivity

Lacks the bass of the Bose, but other than that sounds great

Amazing sound - I wasn't looking for a wind shattering sounds, but it has sufficient bass to deliver on my sound needsEasy to use - just plug and playValue for money - at $

but I prefer the more natural Bass on the Creative, unless you're listening to bass heavy songs, which should be listened to on bigger speaker systems and not portable bluetooth speaker systems

Both throw great bass (TDK with the bass edge).

It produces decent bass (low frequencies) too (for its size, don't expect room shaking bass).A word of caution: DO GIVE IT A LISTEN

Can't even compare other makes and models to this...rich bass, solid mids, and full highs without the tinny sound of other smaller units.

The bass isn't crazy powerful and is a bit muddy, but beats other speakers I've heard

Loud and well defined bass

Mmmmm first start with bass - pretty well for its compactness and here you feel that this bass is really enough for a human ear , mids - also great as well as highs

Worse, the bass often has no punch and is a muffled thud

Music sounds good enough, full sound range even for Pink Floyd/Evanescence; however, giving its size there is no way to expect any better bass... quite often I play books on tape

and if you are after something that not only sounds but also looks and feel 'high end' the re-specked and exposed, machine-finished passive bass radiators do go a long way to create that look and feel

This has great sounding bass compared to the other portable speaker I have purchased in the past

It's got amazing bass for a box this size.

That said, for me, I don't like speakers that have a bass response that overwhelms everything else.

Bose SoundLink Mini+Much better bass and overall better

It still has everything the original ROAR has – 5 speaker drivers, deep, rich bass and same room-filling volume that really stands head and shoulders above the rest

These opposing radiators enhance bass response and widen the soundstage

I decided to use the ROAR so I can stream my Pandora while I drive and the sound envelopes my car with melodious highs and deep bass and to top that, it doubles as my handsfree device when taking calls while I drive.

I hope Creative can come up with another portable speaker that has a loud bass to it, and battery life last longer (less charging)

The Soundlink Mini also has quite boosted upper bass which tends to make it sound "boomy", added to the fact that Bose applies dynamic equalization (a kind of "loudness"), which boosts lower frequencies even more the lower the volume, many might find the Bose to sound too bassheavy

Surprisingly good sound, great bass.

The bass is powerful for it being so compact

On each end of the ‘Roar 2’ are passive radiators that deliver unparalleled bass reproduction which visibly vibrate with the bass.

However, for the bass freak, the bass output can be increased significantly by using the Tera bass feature which will satisfy your fix for tons of bass

It does have some heft to it, but I can deal with that for good bass

and I love the tera bass

I wanted a great sounding speaker with decent bass to play music off my phone along with my electric guitar's two stereo amps

It really sounds good, very detailed and decent bass

If you put the Roar in the middle of the room, the bass is not impressive.

The bass sounds clean and the highs crisp.

Its crisp, clear and has excellent bass response for it's size.

You loose some bass the further away you are

It's ability to produce a solid bass is a bit dependent on the

Which brings me to my one complaint, the bass is a bit weak

The bass is amazing, but the mid and upper ranges are vivid

Incredibly clear sound and pretty good bass for the size

I was blown away by the crisp, clear sound with surpisingly good bass

, Guess peoples really like loud Bass more than other)8

Outside good on porch... fine tuneing....good bass for its

The Terra Bass function provides ample bass

and this did boost the bass to an acceptable level

I am very happy with the Creative Sound Blaster Roar, as I was looking for a small portable bluetooth speaker that could producea strong clear Bass response, which is realized when using the Terra Bass function

The top-firing bass and mid-level driver gives a stable powerful blast of sound.

It has really good bass, but not too exaggerated on the low end.

If you want a bassy boom box go buy one of those, if you desire well balanced clear sound with enough bass to compliment the music, this is your boy

After owning the roar for several months, to my untrained ears, I feel the roar is less bass-heavy and more clear in the mids and highs

so I cannot comment on strong bass performance

The bass is warm and tremble is loud....very impress and worth the money.

This Roar has a nice solid feel and great bass response.

The sound quality is very nice, the vocals come out clearly and the bass is strong

It is not a "flat response" as I've heard some reviewers mention here, but its not a Bose sound either - somewhat in the middle, but the bass and mids don't feel overpowering

I have previously listened to a fugoo speaker which had impressed me, but this one is better, just a little more clear and with a more precise bass and it doesn't crackle

The bass is generous without being over powering.

The bass is very good and quite comparable to Bose Soundlink

But, this speaker sounds rich,full and the bass is clear for this size speaker

Sound quality is pretty good but bass is not best

If you want to play it soft, the Terra-Bass enhances the bass at low listening levels for a very satisfying sound.--More in-depth information

Tera bass works at lower volume and improves bass significantly

I set the bass boost and ROAR boost..... to get the guitar sensitivity up a bit..and adjust the phone BT music to suit..then play along

I have both the Roar and the Bose Mini, I rate the sound of the Roar to be equal in clarity, better in bass, and louder than the Bose

Bass isn't the best for it's price range either

It really was a no-brainer choice for me: I want a decent Bass on a standalone (microsd card ready) portable speaker, which, if needed, is also capable of taking multiple bluetooth inputs simultaneously (both my phone and my laptop)

Something you may notice is the speaker might have a little trouble fully powering all the drivers to max volume (+ROAR), and the bass will be exploding and then tone down once the melody and vocals come in.

The bass is too overpowering for my tastes

Overall I think the TERA BASS and ROAR modes are great for the average listener who wants good, clear music on a casual setting.______________CONCLUSION

There is a “Terra Bass” option which noticeably boosts the bass on the device which is awesome

The sound is accurate with tight well-defined bass, clear highs and well-formed mids

On each end of the ‘Roar 2’ are passive radiators that deliver unparalleled bass reproduction which visibly vibrate with the bass.

The bass is not superb like the treble, though it blends nicely

I can go without crispness if the bass is there, since I like bass-intensive music

Some prefer more bass, some hate midrange, and some desire extreme highs.

The Terra Bass button intelligently boosts bass when audio levels are low in a way similar to the loudness switch on some stereo amplifiers

The bass is very good.

These opposing radiators enhance bass response and widen the soundstage

For some the bass is fine at lower volumes.

bass is perfect...not too loud not too soft...at half the price going on right now

If you want pure volume and bass, look somewhere else

There's a Tera Bass button that boosts the bass when you don't need it loud but want a better overall sound, or when it's not on a surface that helps to transmit and amplify the bass

Great bass

You will get enhanced bass.

I love the tera bass and roar options.

It has deep bass and crisp clear sound

This reproduces flawless bass, mids and highs at ALL volumes including when both your device and the speaker itself are at max volumes.

The sound quality is very good, it has impressive bass for such a small unit

I am not sure if it was defective, because others have reviewed it and said the bass was good

And one big difference that I think is not a good change is that the two passive bass radiators no longer have a metal grill covering

Also, I have the iphone so i can set the EQ to boost the bass even more.3.VOLUME

There is more than sufficient bass to satisfy those listeners who want more

This speaker have more than sound, it is also a recorder, great sound configuration options beside your player (increase the deep bass and recovery the sharp

I’m able to get room-filling sound while maintaining crisp highs, clear midrange and solid but not muddy bass

Bass was a bit lacking but not annoyingNotorious BIG - Big PoppaBig Jambox

Mini Bluetooth Speaker and, to my taste, the Roar produced a much better sound quality (louder, richer, deeper bass)

nice sound and heavy bass

It is so accurate, spacious and clear with perfectly balanced bass

bass is perfect...not too loud not too soft...at half the price going on right now

The ROAR, is well made, it feels sturdy and looks great, I compare to the Bose Soundlink Mini, they sound quite similar, at low volume The BSM sound with better bass, but at high volume the ROAR is better

The Roar 2's Bass was actually impressive and was having it be one of the things i was looking for

This engineering uses a low center of gravity to stabilize bass

One pro review was highly critical of the speaker having poor bass response; however, in my very subjective opinion, the speakers bass resonance is more than adequate

Nice bass and ZERO distortion at max volume levels

The bass is great for its size, or anything twice its size.

Bass is good but not overpowering.

Very warm sounding nice bass great build quality too if you're not sure what to get in this price range go for this speaker

Bose > Creative > UE (I personally prefer less Bass though)Volume

Love the features and the terra bass?

Great sound quality good bass, lots of features!

The bass in this little speaker is amazing - My Note 4 is rooted and I'm running Viper4Android for sound

Clarity in un believable, and the bass is great

Good bass at medium and high volumes

If it had good bass I would give it 5-stars.

Sounds are clear and bass is decent when place near a wall

It is so accurate, spacious and clear with perfectly balanced bass

The bass is really good closer up, as in sitting around the unit

Bigger than most (the cost of great bass)

It gave enough mid bass to even rumble the table and stand

I don't think the bass is fantastic nor the highs

We were once having quests and were playing domino, so we placed it directly on the floor, under a cabinet with very high legs -well, the bass made some domino

Like others, I also would like a little more bass too but due to physics and the limited

Don't use it with the enhanced bass modes in small, confined

Bass is not so strong as Bose but other features as mic and microSD card reader are giving an advantage for this product

The speaker has exceptional clarity with deep clean Bass.

Overall I would describe the bass as better than you would expect for the size, but not revolutionary

The Beats Pill sounded horrible, absolutely zero bass

and it is hard to pin point where it is that great bass is unbelievable and clear

I use Power Amp on my LG FLEX and can control bass and treble levels as well as an eleven band EQ and that really enhances the range.

The bass on this thing sucks even with the base boost button

However, I was shocked and amazed when I saw this little bugger sitting on the table; a small, portable bluetooth speaker, was what was filling the atmosphere with lively, quality sound and surprisingly powerful bass

I wish there is a previous / next button on the speaker but overall a very nice sound quality nice bass and a solid material

Bought them as a gift because of the excellent sound quality plus the bass are superb

Handy features (conference phone ability, recorder, ROAR enhanced sound, extra bass when needed, etc.)

I loved the ROAR option especially when bass-rich music is streamed

However, when I did get this outside, the bass soundlyy extremely rich and full

It may not be too bassy for all music or songs, but delivers the great bass with the kind of songs or music

Crisp treble with smooth deep bass

Turning on Tetabass, which is necessary for good bass at low volumes, has a very loud computer-voiced "TERABASS ON" announcement.

The one drawback is it doesn't "drop the bass" like other units but for the price you won't find better

To get strong, not muddy bass you need bigger drivers (speakers).

used?Sound performanceSound Blaster Roar is seriously impressive because the music explodes with beautiful bass and midrange

A great and simple-to-use Blaster for pumping out crisp music with solid bass performance

I wouldn't call the bass exceptional, even with the terra bass turned on (I myself haven't really heard that make a difference...).

I didn't like Sony SRS-X5's digital music sounds, too much Bass and High, but this Roar 2 makes enough Bass, Mid, and High

The Sound Blaster Roar has cleaner sounding bass with clear, defined mids and highs

Very good sound and quite reasonable bass from such a small box

For the size of the unit the bass is reasonable but obviously Creative hasn't broken any laws of physics with this unit as the bass simply isn't there at any volume without distortion

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

I love the Terra-Bass feature that enhances the bass output at low volumes

The Tera Bass button boosts the bass at lower volume like the loudness button on old school home stereos used to

Your highs really become pronounced and the bass is slightly louder

It had one of the best sounds I have heard for a wireless speaker and the bass was powerful

As others have indicated the bass is somewhat lacking however a bit more can be coaxed out of it by good placement and understanding the laws of physicls apply

The clarity is remarkable, every note of music is represented with remarkable clarity, bass tones are crisp and punchy with not to much bass ring as some others like "b**e have that come across too boomy sounding, in my opinion

Full, balanced sound with terrific bass and wide

The Creative Sound Blaster Roar on the other hand has balanced bass response and definition and sounds natural and open at all volumes, has brilliant features - especially the Terra Bass feature that enhances bass response PERFECTLY at low listening volumes - and the build quality is the most substantial I've encountered, amazing for something at this price point

The bass is incredible

The tight well defined bass is substantially enhanced when you place the speaker in the corner of your room

Sound wise was good; bass was tight & highs were crisp.

I actually think this is a great idea because some people prefer deep, booming bass, while others simply enjoy the music without too much vibration.

it is a good thing I did not believe the other reviews that said this unit did not have enough bass

Not quite portable but the roar is impressive - great bass, plenty of features, can play from microSD, battery life could be better, considering the weight

Roar has a lot of bells and whistles on it, such Roar mode which expands the sound and increases the max volume by some software tricks, also something called Terra Bass mode which improves sound on low volumes by boosting bass frequencies

Great bass, expansive mid-range sound, nice high notes without being tinny

Very good bass, mids, and highs

On each side is a passive bass radiator

(Better Bass)Country (I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack

Great bass and volume

The sound quality is terrific and the Roar option enhances the bass which sounds crisp and so clear.

You just can't have small,portable units that have amazing bass and mids and highs are that absolutely perfect.

My desktop is too old to run anything newer than XP.The speaker has a Terra bass function I generally like to use which enhanced bass at lower volumes.

because my bose desk tops were impossible for all round sound, I love bass but like a choice and this had USB connect and controllable sound options which I hoped would make a better path

I like the bass especially

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

Bass is exceptional

I used it at Halloween to blast some creepy sounds from the garage and with the door shut and unit at full volume, it was clear, deep bass and crackling treble

but it seems to have side firing cones or horns on the sides that give nice, crisp bass that doesn't turn fuzzy when the volume is cranked up.

Bass is somewhat lacking

The Terrabass feature works well for keeping music sounding full at low volumes, and the bass in general is just great.

The TERA BASS mode is a must for Bass Heads and EDM music lovers because it makes the bass very punchy

Fils the room with great sound all the way from crisp highs to clear bass tones.

But the ROAR fills this Great Room with crisp, clear sound and amazing bass

Sound Quality is good and after activate the Tera-bass mode the bass is really impressive and the sound quality is as good

The bass was a bit lacking

I still think the bass is best on the roar compared to the other 3 though.

the bass is just excellent, it plays very loudly with little distortion and has lots of nifty features

The bass is deep without hearing a "false bass" that you hear with a lot of speakers

For that reason it's wise to be wary of reviews that over-dramatize the reviewer's personal impression of the sound of ANY speaker system as being "the best" or "weak bass" or terms like that

The sound is very pleasant, nice bass considering the overall size of this really portable speaker

The deep bass is fabulous and the sound quality is amazing.

it make good bass sound

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

crisp....clear music and the bass is right on point

It has got the decent bass (+terabass which works well when required)

The bass is not superb like the treble, though it blends nicely

Bose has strong bass thus more groove; Roar has crisp highs that clearly delivers vocal

Bass is nice not to much and when you hit the roar button even better

When you go to the website & adjust to your liking it sounds excellent with good bass; plus it plays from a mini SD card & it records from aon board microphone that sounds very natural.

The bass scales well with the treble and keeps pace with the mids and highs even up to max volume.

Typically cheaper speakers do not sound as well at lower volumes, but higher quality units like this have great bass and range even at lower levels

To get strong, not muddy bass you need bigger drivers (speakers).

Like previous reviews, the highs and mids sound great at all volume, The bass isn't overbearing where it becomes a distraction

The sound quality is nice, better than a lot of speakers, ok bass, very portable

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

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.

This speaker has plenty of features such a NFC compatibility to connect your device, ability to charge your phone/music player from the speaker, ability to hook up directly to your computer through USB, ability to charge through both the supplied A/C adapter and USB, as well as being able to use it as a hands-free device for your smartphone

Sounds wonderful, still has that bluetooth feel, but otherwise as good as it gets.

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

so got it repaired myself, before that it worked as it should though there is noticeable battery life drop after 9 months

Prob worth buying a 2nd as

It’s rectangular with white plastic housing, a white metal grille, and grey accenting at the front control panel as well as on each side where the subwoofers are located.

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

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

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.

I inserted a Micro SD card with mp3s and my songs were as clean as

I’ll cover the basics, and will just assure you that whatever question you might have will almost certainly be covered in the well written user’s manual

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