EB's Matt Heywood writes, "Creative Labs’ Sound Blaster ROAR is the latest innovation in portable bluetooth speakers thanks to its booklet-size design (~2.5 pounds), and more importantly its five audio drivers powered by not one, but two separate amplifiers to ensure both high and low sounding frequencies get equal amounts of power. This unique hardware setup allows the ROAR to maintain clear sounding frequencies at any volume level, while also filling a large room with its space-filling sound thanks to the far-field high frequency drivers used in its design. With the inclusion of AAC and aptX codecs the ROAR also ensures that all Bluetooth 3.0 connections sound just as clear, if not better than a wired connection. With built-in NFC capabilities and the ability to connect multiple Bluetooth devices at once, the Sound Blaster ROAR makes it easier than ever to connect your mobile devices and start listening to them without the hassle of cables or tedious pairing methods. The ROAR truly is a party-in-a-box that can most definitely light up a room with luscious sounds if the DJ forgot to bring his/her turntables."
Pocket Lint - Great sound, really loud, decent bass levels, independent device volume control, good battery life, record/conference/go wild.

The Roar is dubbed as an ‘Audiophile Sound Booklet’ and packs in 5-driver technology to give the 2.4 pound device some impressive sound making capabilities. It’s about the size of a book and can connect to smartphones via bluetooth or NFC, or it can be hooked up to anything with an AUX port and PC/Mac computers."
