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

    • Placing the speakers on harder surfaces seems to restrict it from letting the sound reverberate well
    • But due to the shape of it, it would roll if on an unstable surface and this happened on a few occasions.
    • To get the most bass, put it on a hard surface.
    • 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
    • You will surely see scratches on the bottom feet if placed on rough surfaces
    • 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
    • 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
    • The A/C adapter charging quit working yesterday (two indicator lights on the front display) and I tested the power cube...it was still outputting the proper voltage
