The only time the Roar let me down was when I went into the Sound Blaster app and found that I couldn't customize the sound on the speaker, like I've done for Creative products in the past. After several conversations with the development team, it's clear they're not trying to emulate Beats's uncontrollable urge for bass or chasing after highs at the expense of the rest of the system.

About seven trips in my bag later, however, I'm happy to report that my worst fears didn't come true.Ĭreative covers the entire audio spectrum well, but does a particularly good job with pronounced mids.

On top, there's a grille that keeps the three drivers safe and sound, as well as a slew of control buttons that turn the speaker on and off, raise/lower the volume and pair it to your Bluetooth device. The device provided to techradar by Creative for review is jet black and all business, though it does come in white – if that's more your style. If the speaker's laying down, you can spot an aluminum front with a Creative logo dead center.
