Today we are taking a look at the new Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2, a compact portable Bluetooth speaker that's a real powerhouse! Based on a similar, yet improved design to the original, the Roar 2 promises to be lighter and more compact while still delivering the same room-filling audio and eight hour run time?

Since the uprise of the smartphone portable Bluetooth speakers have become all the rage and consumers virtually have countless options, ranging from $10 all the way up to $400 for something like the Braven 855s.

With so many options on offer, creating a portable speaker that stands out from the pack is no easy task and yet this is exactly what Creative managed to achieve back in February of 2014 after releasing the Sound Blaster Roar.
