Just so you know a bit about where I am coming from and how I think about music and speakers (so you can decide for yourself if my review has any credibility or is relevant for your needs), I am an average listener with a halfway decent ear.
-
My ears have been deprived for 43 years of a truly great listening experience
-
Fullness without hurt-my-ears loud
-
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
-
I only had 'expensive' headphones (Sennheiser amperior, beyerdynamic dt880, ultimate ears ue9000) and IEMs (Senns IE80, UE900, Westone UM3x, W3) before this

Prob worth buying a 2nd as

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.
-
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
-
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.
-
Like I said before it fits my purpose for easy listening as well as for a small indoor and outdoor party.
-
Sounds wonderful, still has that bluetooth feel, but otherwise as good as it gets.

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