Roar 2 is a great little unit that punches well above its size.

To be fair, other units of this ilk have this problem, like the Big Jambox, etc, btw.

I definitely would recommend this unit.

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

An overall great unit in this product bracket

Neither I nor my friend could believe the quality of the sound that came out of this compact unit

But this one is an awesome unit if your lookin for a good one.

Not a crappy plastic (JBL) unit

This is a awesome speaker unit love it so much thank you

Unfortunately, the unit refused to turn back on after only 3 days of owning this

Very nice unit for the price.

Not knocking the Bose unit, but the Sound Blaster blows away the competition

The TDK has all drivers facing forward and is a louder overall unit.

Between its regular listening mode, the Roar button, and Terra Base, the unit is highly adjustable and versatile.

This is a well constructed and solid unit.

After providing my RMA info that I submitted via the website, she said that she would have a replacement unit sent immediately instead of waiting for the defective unit to arrive (and bypassing the 10-15 day processing period)

One is because if you use an equalizer to slightly alter the bass within the iPad's Spotify app, or other apps, etc the passive radiators act as if the unit is broken!

When you listen to the Roar in that way (in the close field) you begin to appreciate just how good the unit is at putting across the music in a way that lets you really connect with the intentions of the artist and producer

Not a bad sounding unit, however at loud volume there is some distortion with the overall sound and after reading many reviews about the power port breaking or won't charge anymore and the end of life of battery within a year or so, I decided to return the speaker

I had trepidation when buying this speaker but have found it to be a very good unit

Creative Labs makes really high quality stuff, no cheap plastic, very solid unit.

Unit seems well made, but way to complex and too many bells and whistles.

The portable Bose unit I heard has a little more

Great little unit that compares to units that cost lots more.

So, in sum, apart from my bluetooth problem, the Soundblaster is a good unit with decent sound - not a fantastic unit with exceptional sound.

Good unit, short on bass response

This single unit sounds like something much larger and much more visible

This is an amazing tech unit.

When properly placed against a wall (preferably in a corner), the unit really sounds excellent with nice tight, non-boomy bass.

and I wish this product was more stable since it is a nice small speaker unit

This unit has many nice

This unit did not disappoint.

**UPDATE**After sending back my first Creative Sound Blaster Roar due to a blown speaker, I could not help but think that I must have received a bad unit due to all the outstanding reviews.

So far, the new unit that I received has been working flawlessly

This unit is worth every penny and then some.

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

I played three of my favorite tracks on lower and higher volume, with the Soundblaster Roar, the Bose Soundlink Mini, and even made a special trip back to Target to test out all of the available units there

My husband’s main desire was good quality sound in a portable unit and at a reasonable price point.

Nice unit

First, I bought this unit and did not receive a free unit for a review

I have been using this with the blue-tooth connection and a Samsung Galaxy S5.I have NEVER written a product review before, but I thought this unit was so cool, I wanted to share

Great unit for most people.

Let the audiophiles wax poetic about the capabilities of this amazing unit

The first thing you notice out of the box is how solid the unit is.

The unit also being able to be your USB connect sound card, WOW

I would highly recommend this unit for someone who needs a small and powerful Bluetooth speaker.

Until then I am enjoying the lending unit from my brother :).

This is one amazing unit!I love it!

After experimenting thus, I would rank the available units as follows:#1

The unit looks nice, is solid, and has decent sound

( I thought the Sony would have been my favorite sounding unit of the

Outdoors the unit shines equally as well.

Not to mention the unit is completely portable....charge the battery and take it where ever you go for quality sound

This little unit is full of amazing high quality sound that I liked better than another more well known brand plus it has features that I appreciate like the mini SD card that others don't have

My friend heard this unit play, she loved it, so much she sold her sony unit she had and bought one of these creative sound blaster roar units.

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

This sure is a sweet little speaker unit

For your serious consideration, other top rated portable units (that can fit in a standard backpack) are: the Denon Evaya units, Damson Vulcan (top reviews on UK Amazon/critics), JBL Charge 2 (firmware 1.41) or Charge 2+.

output.it is quite possible that I received a bad unit

If you can be more careful than I have been, you will really enjoy this unit

This unit is fantastic.

Overall, it is a great little quality built unit providing options galore and pleasant sounding audio even at high volumes

Would have given in 3.5 stars if possible, but it is a nice unit with nice sound and an abundance of features

Overall, I can (and do) recommend this unit without hesitation

That said, this is a powerful little unit

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

This is one portable, small footprint speaker unit that really delivers great sound and includes useful extras like NFC, voice recording, micro SD port, and Tera Bass mode

Other units which were reviewed might not have this issue

To be fair, other units of this ilk have this problem, like the Big Jambox, etc, btw.

awesome unit

Debating on getting a second unit and booming it as a true stereo

The unit is solid and somewhat dense, probably because of the batteries, but it really looks and feels well made.

This unit is really solid

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

The unit is also capable of audio recording and storing them in the MicroSD car slot

She was more than graceful, and wished to correct the issue that I had with my defective unit

This is a very well designed and clean sounding unit

Incredible sound from such a compact unit

Otherwise, I love this unit and all my friends thought the sound was amazing also!

I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to enhance their music listening pleasure with a portable Bluetooth speaker.

This unit is beautifully made -- no one can fault the fit-and-finish here

It is one of the better sounding units that I have heard

This unit is well worth the money.

This unit is a superb all around small portable speaker

I do own quite a few Creative Items and this ROAR is one of the top units on my

The remedy was to wait until the unit lost it's charge; after which the unit fired up & worked just fine again.

The unit is solid and about twice the size as a mini-bluetooth speaker.

The ROAR unit is really NICE

at some of the additional features of the unit:Ability to play music from a Micro-SD cardAbility to record from its built-in microphone or Bluetooth sourceA great sounding speakerphoneAbility to charge a phone or other device via USBAbility to pair with multiple devices at the same timeA built in personal safety alarmA sleep timer modeA legitimate eight hour battery lifeAbility to function as a high end sound card for a computerAbility to physically connect two units together for greater responseAbility to enable multiple sonic profiles (when used as a sound card)TeraBass function acts as a loudness contour buttonRoar button for use in "loud" environment adds increased clarityThe amazing thing is that as long as that list is, it's more than likely that I've neglected something about the unit!That said, all of the above features would be 100% meaningless if the unit didn't sound good

Overall, I love this unit.

The flexibility of multiple inputs, multipoint BT pairing, Tera bass and USB chargeable all add up to a versatile unit

Solid unit, good sound, extra features are a nice plus.

This unit sounds good with all genres of music not only classic music like which the Bose speakers was designed for

I also really like very much the ability to play my musicby using the SD Micro Card Slot located in the rear of the speaker, which allows me to use it as a stand-a-lone unit

A protective case should be included since it is a portable unit

In my opinion, the reason for a carrying case for a portable speaker should be to protect the unit during transport...and possibly hold any available accessories.

so i can only think this unit was defective

In that same environment, this unit pales by comparison

The Creative Sound Blaster Roar SR20A Model MF8170 is a nice unit and sounds great

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

I was so impressed that I quit working for a while just to enjoy what I

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

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

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