Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2

Improving on the design of its already popular predecessor, the Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 packs all of the power and features of the original into a 20 percent smaller body. Slimmer and lighter without sacrificing loudness, this portable Bluetooth speaker is constructed with five high-performance drivers for crisp audio across any genre of music. It’s sleek, modern look is suitable in the office, living room, or study—turn the speaker horizontally for room-filling sound or vertically for a more concentrated audio experience.

Outfitted with two amplifiers—one for driving lows and mids and the other dedicated to high frequencies—the Roar 2 delivers well-balanced sound at both high and low volumes. A 2.5-inch driver and dual, unobstructed passive radiators offer unparalleled bass reproduction, while the Roar button let’s you kick it up a notch for bass-heavy jams and parties. You can also plug in an SD card for customized playlists or pair multiple devices at once for get-togethers and sharing music with friends. With 8 hours of battery life and multiple connection types, the Roar 2 is sure to impress for any occasion.
