    Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 Portable NFC Bluetooth Speaker with aptX/AAC (White)

    • 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
    • Music is a lot clearer & cleaner, without being overpowered and muddy by to much bass
    • On each, you're storing 50,000 songs because you just love music, but what good are they without clear, precise sound?
    • Not only does it sound fantastic playing music but also playing voice
    • If I was forced to add something to this, I would add a little more power as I love certain music loud.
    • It is pretty amazing that it has so many functions - a charger, a portable music player, a remote speaker for all sorts of devices, a voice recorder, an alarm clock..and so forth.
    • It hooks up easily to my phone or computer, and allows me to play my music not only loud but immersive and expansive
    • The balance is best for popular music, rock and hip hop
    • i told her this device was "the thing of portable music" before i tested it out with her

    • As much as I love music playback on the Roar, I will probably need to return it because of the poor speakerphone functionality
    • I had absolutely no trouble figuring out how this speaker works and it was very easy to begin enjoying my music
    • I won't use many of the features provided on the "Roar" but for pure music enjoyment
    • I purchased with intentions to have good sounding music playing in my room, the Sound Blaster Roar did not fail to provide
    • But if you want to part with a few more dollars and up your overall wireless portable music experience, the features and sound quality of this speaker go a long way towards justifying its position at the higher end of speakers working in the same domain
    • Brought the "Roar" to a party and everyone there was very impressed with the sound and how clear the music was
    • You can make this speaker sound the way you like your music to sound to your ears, adjust the roar button, adjust the tera bass, adjust the sound from warm-neutral-energetic, no matter what your taste of music is or the sound you like , this speaker is it
    • I do enjoy my music and I enjoy listening to it on a good device, so although I am a layperson, I'm not coming at this from the perspective of ignorance
    • so if I use it as a portable device I can take my music with it and not worry about having to use bluetooth
    • This speaker pumps loud clear music
    • As to the controls I wish somehow they were incorporated anywhere but the back(except the bottom of course).The reason is that I play music off a microSD card and would like to replay music or forward
    • This is a perfect fit for some great sounding music in the rest of the house and the deck.
    • I don't have very good hearing but this guy packs enough punch to satisfy my music
    • Other battery-powered speakers use a passive system (with only one amp for both high and low end) while the Sound Blaster Roar uses and ACTIVE system that uses two separate amplifiers for some of the best sounding music you'll ever hear
    • on.----------------------CONNECTIVITYThe Roar 2 offers connectivity in (4) ways: Bluetooth with NFC, USB line to PC or Mac (although I never did get this to work properly on a Mac or Windows 7 PC), aux line (cable) or micro SD card loaded with favorite music

    • My husband uses this speaker at work, but I'm considering getting one for my dad, and giving it to him with a memory card full of his favorite music
    • 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
    • Kids love it out back by the pool, they can play their music how they want it
    • Many will deliver acceptable sound for most users, and even ardent audiophiles understand the limitations of physics as personal portable music relies on both a lossy format (.mp3) additionally impacted by the compression of Bluetooth audio streaming, all delivered to a small piece of hardware

    • Im able to now enjoy enjoy my music when i was forced to listen through cell phone speakers :/
    • The Bose and the Roar can fill my living room with an afternoon of enjoyable background music, but the Roar totally rocks the room with hard driving fusion that I can feel in my bones!The other features built into the Roar don't interest me that much right now, not sure why I would want to play MP3's with a plug-in card, particularly since there's no remote
    • This speaker is on and playing dang near perfect music all day everyday

    • My long term confidence in Creative is not high, since I previously owned a Creative music player that, although it sounded fine, the playback would skip intermittently
    • The tera bass and the roar modes are nice to have (and I use the tera bass sometimes when I'm listening to music at a low volume, and for that, it is fantastic), but I haven't used them enough to say much about if it enhances music all that well
    • But it can fill a large room full of people with clear and bassy music, no problem.

    • I'm a middle-aged professional musician (I make my living playing classical music and jazz), I do consider myself an audiophile, and I can heartily recommend this speaker to those looking for accurate music playback.
    • This unit sounds good with all genres of music not only classic music like which the Bose speakers was designed for
    • It weighs about 2.5 pounds but there is a carrying pouch that wraps tightly around it so you don't have to remove it to enjoy sound/music (not included).The functions buttons are all on the top including, Power, Bluetooth/Call Answer/End, Volume Up/Down, and the powerful Roar mode
