Sound Blaster Roar 2

Even when compared with the newer model, Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 is still a solid and good sounding Bluetooth speaker that holds its own value pretty well. It is feature rich and has good battery life. A nice solution for music lovers on the go, or those who need a small and simple, but good sounding speaker. Sound Blaster Roar 2 is a perfect companion for modern multimedia gadgets.

Music sounds great. The speaker sounds way larger than it is with plenty of bass that can be set for indoors or outdoors. It’s solidly built and looks more expensive than it is. There is nothing about the Creative Roar 2 that I have serious complaints about. It’s a true audio bargain.

The Creative Sound Blaster ROAR 2 is truly in a league of its own with its small size, relatively light weight, and bi-amplified design that simply can’t be matched by anything on the market.

I’ve used a lot of Bluetooth speakers, and none have made me (and friends) say, “WOW” quite like the Roar 2 did. It’s extremely clear, crisp, and sharp. Then gets louder and louder without any distortion. Then, hitting the Roar or Terra Bass mode on back makes it even better. It’s so loud it shakes the table, all without distortion or nasty sound output.

The Sound Blaster Roar 2 uses bi-amplified design, with one driving the lows and mids, and another amp just for the highs. This allows for much more accuracy in the lower mids and better low mid depth than we see in many speakers in this price range. Even with ROAR engaged, vocals carry through load and clear, and electric guitars are well represented, making this speaker great for any guitar-heavy music from rock to pop to blues... There is more shimmer and sparkle to high end details like cymbals and tambourines than in speakers from Creative’s competitors.

The Sound Blaster Roar 2 comes in at $170, putting this speaker right in the center of what I generally think of as the mid-range price point. But make no mistake - this is a premium speaker through and through. Really, the only thing mid-range thing about it is the price.

The Sound Blaster Roar 2 is a marked improvement on its predecessor. It's lighter and 20% smaller, but no less powerful. It has a pretty stellar sound, and while it couldn't fill an auditorium like some 7.1 systems can, the Roar 2 puts out a respectable amount of noise. It's also one of the best-looking speakers around.

The Roar 2 is a very good, well-balanced speaker whether you’re using it for near-field listening or looking to fill a moderately large room with background music.

The Roar2 has a wonderfully balanced sonic signature with very good clarity and overall sound quality. It has a host of features, and as a portable Bluetooth speaker for a small gathering, heading away to the holiday home, or just chilling with friends, I haven’t personally heard any better options for the price.

In the sound department, Sound Blaster Roar 2 is a top performer for its size and price range, offering strong, well-rounded performance from song to song in various genres… There’s a lot to love about Creative’s Sound Blaster Roar 2. It’s not the flashiest Bluetooth speaker out there, but it’s hard to beat when it comes to features... at that price, Sound Blaster Roar 2 is hard to beat, and it earns our high recommendation.

Creative have really impressed me with the Roar 2. It is feature packed, sounds great through all the connections and Creative seem to have crammed everything they can think of into it. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who genuinely dislikes the sound that comes from the Roar 2s, they seem to cater for everyone, even bassheads with their Tera Bass option. Even though I have never heard the original Roar before, I feel like the $200 price tag is very easily justified, and if you are looking for a portable speaker in this price range, the Roar 2 is worth at least a consideration.

...what most important with the Roar 2 and that its value. You get so much in such a small footprint. Great sound from a portable device, multiple/easy connections, nice additional features, all within a great build… It is great to have some good quality background music that is easy on the ears. Plus if we get a phone call, it is easy then to switch over for a quick conversation. All and all, a wonderful, full featured Bluetooth Speaker.

To its credit, the Roar 2 handled our bass test track, The Knife's "Silent Shout," very well. It didn't shake the walls, but it reproduced the bass synth and kick drum at maximum volume without distortion.

For music playback, everything worked well. The standard profile offers decent bass and nice clear highs. We did like the overall feel which was created by the Warm Sound profile in the software control panel too... Roar mode is nuts… for such a small speaker and when you enable maximum sound through using it on the mains, the volume on offer is surprising. Easily enough for a decent sized gathering in a large room while offering playback that has minimal distortion even at the products limits.

With two high frequency drivers, a woofer, and two passive radiators on either side, this speaker creates a nice, crisp, and clear sound, with great bass. While it can get pretty loud, it’s not going to be loud enough to make your neighbors upset, which is obviously a plus in a dorm environment.

It justifies its price with big audio and a variety of useful features. First off, the sound is loud and clear. The Sound Blaster Roar 2 uses five drivers, including two high-frequency, a woofer, and two passive radiators, to create a sound that can fill any room. It has far more output than any Bluetooth speaker I've heard.

I was blown away by how loud the Roar 2 is, and not just that but the audio clarity at high volumes is very impressive...There is a lot to like about the Roar 2 and some of the highlights for us other than the amazing audio quality were the dual charging mode, smartphone charge and the built-in MP3 player...Overall the Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 is a must have item for anyone seeking an audiophile grade portable speaker without having to sell an organ.

With the Sound Blaster Roar 2, Creative has refined a great, multi-purpose Bluetooth speaker into an even better package. Try as I might, I could find little to no fault with the Roar 2. It simply sounds great in a variety of situations and has a versatility that ought to embarrass hordes of other Bluetooth speakers.

The original Roar impressed us by blasting music at the highest volumes for its size, although a little distortion crept in when we pushed it that far. The same is true here, yet again, and once more we’re impressed at those volumes, in spite of a smaller frame.

Coming in black or white for $170, this is a really great buy for myriad speaker scenarios. It serves well as a gaming speaker system or a small-business speaker for conference calls, presentations, and recordings. The sound capabilities are complex, smart, and versatile. The system is straightforward and easy to use, with sci-fi sounding female robot voice prompts.

This speaker provides full and crisp audio at most sound levels. However, with the added extra sound features comes added responsibility. You're going to have to chop and change your settings if you want the best sound experience out of every song. This means switching between normal, TeraBass for extra fullness, or Roar for pure volume and power.

...the Roar 2 is competitively priced and its smaller and lighter frame will make for a more attractive proposition. The audio performance is well tuned, the Tera bass/ ROAR modes do their job at giving that extra presence when needed. Some may want a more bass heavy experience from their speaker and so may prefer to opt for something known for their subjectively 'improved' bass response. Even at full volume the Roar 2 is never harsh and simply sounds great.

The Roar 2 can remember up to eight Bluetooth devices, and there’s PS4 connectivity as well. And the audio signature is similar to the Roar, with pretty solid output and a decent low end (you can turn on bass boost if you wish).

Really, this speaker blew me away. When you turn the power on, a little chime with some bass comes up. It gives me nerdy geeky girl chills. If you want to crank up the bass to insanity levels, the ROAR button can be activated and you neighbors might hear it. Seriously, I am stunned at how much power, volume, and quality Creative has engineered into this. GO GET ONE!

Starting our testing off with some high resolution tracks to get a general sense of how the Sound Blaster Roar 2 sounded, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the experience was very much like the original. Vocals are warm and clear, and there is good presence.

For its size, the shiny-new machine delivers exceptional sound with the same mind-blowing five-speaker drivers, the same electrical design, and the same battery capacity (eight hours, people!) as the classic Roar. What this translates to: Warm music, clear vocals, a solid bass, and a room-filling audio magnificence that are just perfect for house parties. We played all kinds of genres – acoustic, pop, EDM, classical, jazz, deep house, rock and the list goes on – with it, and the Sound Blaster Roar 2 blew us away song after song.

Maintaining the same innards as its predecessor means that the Roar 2 essentially can handle just about any genre of music you throw at it - classical, opera (not the same), hard rock, jazz, musicals, live recordings, funk, classic rock, electronic, dance. Those are just what I have in my library, and if tests are anything to go by, the list goes on. Nuances that you would think to forgo in a portable speaker surprise you by showing up anyway - the squeak of fretting on guitars, shadow beats on cymbals and drums, breathy harmonics on a flute. These are the marks of solidly crafted mid-high frequency drivers.

...and it being an awesome version of your ol’ skol’ PC speaker and gladly portable in this instance does sound Warm and much more bassy if played with its TeraBass, or Roar function, so all is very very very well for a S$229 price tag.

An excellent speaker with extremely clear highs and midrange. Surprisingly powerful bass. Features out the wazoo. A confident purchase.

Great value for money. There might be similar items around that sound a bit better but they cost an awful lot more than the roar2. It's not to heavy and yet solid. great workmanship i love it.

Fantastic speaker with many great features and excellent connectivity. Would definitely recommend.

excellent!

Great sound quality, just nice for my bedroom.

Small Package, Big SOUND!!!

I absolutely love my Sound Blaster Roar 2. It is an awesome piece of kit, great performance with loads of functions. So pleased I chose this item over the competition, I strongly recommend getting one, you wont be disappointed.

Product was delivered promptly and buying online was smooth and fuss free. The Roar 2 is a great product. Easy to set up and delivered great sound. Love the colour as it matches well with decor.

For such a small unit, the audio quality and sound are exceptional and clear. As one who always used to believe that best sound came from a speaker's physical volume, Creative's technology is remarkable.

Works like a charm. My everyday compagnion. Thanks.

Great speaker. Good sound and quality

It's fabulous. My favorite toy.

Quality product, very robust feel to it, the sound is amazing and the bass is really deep and warm. You wouldn't think the sound comes from a speaker this size. It's a creative product and as such it delivers. I only wish there were more costomisable options in wireless mode.

What a great piece of kit this is! Sounds superb and full of useful features which make it more than just a bluetooth speaker, I particularly like the micro SD card slot which means you can listen without either ipod/phone being used.

Very impress with the exceptional sound it produces from such a compact design. Way beyond my expectations.

Great product and sound quality is beyond my expectations.

Bluetooth link was easy and painless. Vocals and bass tone surprisingly clear given its size. Highly recommended

Value for money as compare to pther similiar product.Good bass and clarity .Would recommend my friend to get a unit.

Sound quality is very good. The unit delivers better sound quality if is place upright. The colour scheme is very pleasing tot he eye. Size is appropriate to carry around. Promotional price of item with the carrying case is affordable to many.

Superb sound, easy to set-up, best value for money.

This product is fantastic. Good bass and crisp sound. NFC feature is good too. Very satisfied with this product.

Excellent sound quality and build in a compact and stylish design!

Worth every cents of it with its quality. Recommend for all who wish to get a good speaker for a decent price.

Just buy it, it's brilliant. Nothing comes close.

I received the order very fast. Cannot wait to test run it. The look and feel of the Roar 2 are so stylist and not to mention the quality of the sound reproduced. I really love this product and immediately, I purchase a second set.
