Oh and then the power in, Aux in, DC Out, Micro-USB and microSD ports are all exposed on the rear side (assuming lying the speaker flat on its rubber track feet) which all feels oddly positioned. Up top there's a USB audio/storage switch, Tera Bass on/off button below which is a section for play/pause, forward/back and shuffle below which again is a record button with separate play/pause and microphone mute switch. There's no hiding from them on the Sound Blaster Roar 2: its fronted by a strip containing on/off, separate volume up/down and Bluetooth/call buttons. Is the Sound Blaster Roar 2 let down by its price hike and design discrepancies, or does its sound quality see it roar into a king-of-the-pack position? Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 review: Designīuttons, buttons everywhere. Creative, on the other hand, has stuck by its laurels, producing a speaker with exposed ports that lacks the aesthetic elegance of the competition. We've seen some stand-out designs from the likes of Ultimate Ears, while big names such as Sony have excelled with models such as the SRS-X55. It's incredible how quickly the world of Bluetooth speakers progresses. Now it's the turn of the more compact, more powerful, yet more expensive sequel: the Roar 2. (Pocket-lint) - When the original Creative Sound Blaster Roar landed on our desk last year we were impressed by the big sound from its small scale.
