The only problem of the sound is that there is a little distortion in roar mode when I crank up the volume. The speaker will be about 10% louder without affecting the sound signature. If you need a louder sound, I recommend you to plug it into a power outlet because it will boost the volume level. You really should switch between those modes to find the ideal one for your environment. The speaker is a lot more powerful when it is plugged in. Basically, the Terabass feature will boost the bass at low-level listening conditions without artificially over accentuating bass levels and the Roar mode will boost the loudness and soundstage of the audio. Now I often turn on Terabass mode when I play music in my small bedroom and switch to Terabass with Roar mode when I use it outdoors or in larger rooms. So, I was a little disappointed because the sound was not mind blowing like many reviewers praised.Įverything has changed since I switched to the TeraBass, and then Roar mode. When I used the speaker for the first time, I left it in the default mode and played music in a large room. I was not aware that the Roar 2 has 3 different sound modes.
I prefer using the speaker in horizontal placement because the sound becomes deeper and more spacious in the position and I don’t really need to use buttons on the back. Before diving deeper into sonic characteristics, you can watch the video below to get an idea of the sound signature and different modes of the speaker. All of those speakers have serious issues in sound quality, therefore, I felt so relieved when I turned on the Roar 2 because I could fall in love with music once again.

Audio Qualityīefore testing the Roar 2, I tried some other Bluetooth speakers in the sub-$100 price range. Fortunately, this won’t affect audio quality as the speaker supports aptX and AAC high-definition codecs, and A2DP for streaming stereo-quality audio via Bluetooth. Therefore, the battery life is shorter than I expected, the 6000mAh Li-ion battery could last about 7-8 hours in my test. Another nice feature is audio recorder but quality of the microphone is just acceptable, so it should be used to record phone calls or voice only.Īnother downside of the Roar is that it hasn’t supported Bluetooth 4.0.
This is a shame because I have just M4A and FLAC files in my music collection. I really love the built-in MP3 player, unfortunately, it can play MP3, WMA and WAV files only. You can see their functionalities in the video on top.īasically, the Roar 2 can stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth, charge your smartphone, play music from your computer, from a microSD card, work as a microSD card reader, an audio recorder, and a speakerphone. You can find the proprietary power port, AUX in, DC out (USB 1.0A), a microUSB port, a microSD slot, recording controls, MP3 playback buttons, Roar / TeraBass button and USB Audio / Mass Storage mode switch. A lot more ports and buttons are placed on the back of the speaker. The top of the speaker looks normal with some buttons like Power button, volume rocker, multifunction button and some indicator lights. That’s why you see more buttons and connections on the speaker. The Sound Blaster Roar 2 is the most complicated Bluetooth speaker I’ve tested for a while as it is packed with a lot of features. That’s the reason why the metal grille covers the top of the speaker only.

The speaker still houses 5 drivers inside, including 2 passive radiators on 2 sides, however, all other drivers head upwards when you lay the speaker down. Notice that the speaker is not dust or water resistant, so you should be extremely careful if you bring it to the beach.Ī notable change over the first generation is the placement of drivers. When I took it out of the box, I immediately felt the weight of the compact speaker. It doesn’t look like a stylish product but the build quality is great. The exterior is a combination of plastic and aluminum. You can’t put it in your pant pocket but it will easily fit into any bag.

However, it is still not as small and lightweight as some other portable speakers. The design of the new version was refined and it is already 20% smaller and 0.3 lbs lighter than its predecessor.
You can either lay the speaker flat on your desk or use the rubber feet to place it upright with drivers heading towards our ears.
#CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER ROAR 2 MANUAL#
There are just the speaker, a micro USB cable, a power adapter, user manual and 2 front rubber stickers. The Creative product has simple packaging and contents inside the box.
