All of that combined with the price equals a GREAT value
It's a no brainer for quality as well as value for the price.
The price is fantastic and you are getting a great value for what you pay.
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
At this price, this speaker is your best available option and a great value without sacrificing quality.
I'm not saying those products are bad, but I believe creative has made a great product that, for me, is better that anything else on the market for my price range
Hoping to get it replaced being that it was an expensive product.
This is really a great product and i love its features.
Great product, this speaker has fantastic sound at all levels
Its going in the trash and will be the last Creative product I own.
You can connect the device with the microSD directly to the computer to manipulate the data on the SD card
so if I use it as a portable device I can take my music with it and not worry about having to use bluetooth
So even if you don't have a bluetooth device handy, you can still play music for hours
In my opinion, the device should play at a steady loud volume until the battery dies
So, what does all of that have to do with the Soundblaster Roar?Everything!I'm not going out on a limb at all if I tell you that the Roar is the least expensive, truly musical device that I've heard in years...maybe ever
Placing the speakers on harder surfaces seems to restrict it from letting the sound reverberate well
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.
You will surely see scratches on the bottom feet if placed on rough surfaces
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
I am surprised that it can be as loud and full of bass as it is
The Big Jambox is probably the more fragile of the three if dropped due to its metal screen covering.
The Big Jambox sounds a little brash to me at times where the other two sound crisp and smooth
Not as refined as the Big Jambox but I can live with it

Okay so after searching through and through, I couldn't find a distinct comparison between the Creative Roar and a Jawbone Big Jambox
Sounds wonderful, still has that bluetooth feel, but otherwise as good as it gets.
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
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
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.
The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features
The ROAR button is great for big rooms or noisy environments and really boosts the sound volume as well as the sound quality
Fantastic!I was *this close* to ordering another compact speaker (rhymes with rose) when I happened upon a review for this little beast
However, the hiss on the Roar 2 is much, much less audible than say, my Jawbone Big Jambox, which has a (subjectively) very audible noise to me, especially in quiet environments with music at low-volume
Some may be frivolous but he majority are useful t and work quite well

but if you are camping or stuck somewhere and in need of a loud noise...

The Sound Blaster Roar SR20A has got to be one of Creative’s stellar flagship devices at this time
No annoying sound or light notifications - just an on and off noise, a chirp to let you know you are connected to a device, a tiny power on light, and 3 tiny lights that indicate battery levels
I was a bit skeptical to here that this speaker would rival the Bose mini
Once I ordered it, i will admit I was a bit skeptical because the reviews were so positive, but I am happy to say that it is by far the best portable speaker we have come across.
The Roar is a very nice B/T speaker with lots of features
It is not a replacement for the Bose(tm) systems but it's very nice and a good bit cheaper
I must admit I was a bit skeptical about it when I laid my hands on it
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

The power amplifier creates considerable bass via woofer and dual passive radiators.

The passive radiators on the side, I believe, give it mid and bass depth without sounding muddy
It is absolutely AMAZING plugged into the computer, unbelievable for this price of speaker.

If one plugs in an iPhone, the noise of the power comes over the iPhone's audio.
I also have a carbon audio pocket speaker, a big jambox, & a g-project g-boom, even though I have a variety to choose from depending on my mood, & where I'll be listening to my music, my soundblaster roar has proven its worth among my speakers

This is my review of the Creative Roar Pro after listening to these bad boys for about a week__________DESIGN: The design of the Pro is actually very reminiscent to the Roar 1 and 2
Just got this bad boy today, the build and sound from this little thing is amazing
All of the Classic Sound Blaster Roar’s killer audio signature in an even more compact size
Pushing the boundaries of speaker miniaturization even further, the Sound Blaster Roar 2 is 20%* more compact than the Classic Sound Blaster Roar, while still retaining its critically acclaimed killer audio signature; which has garnered a deluge of rave reviews all over the world
The Sound Blaster Roar 2 -- although smaller, lighter, and sexier -- is meticulously designed with the same electrical design, the same 5 high-performance speaker drivers, and the same battery capacity as the Classic Sound Blaster Roar
So what you get is the same mind-shattering room-filling audio and astounding battery life -- but now with a smaller, lighter and sexier form factor
