Creative Sound Blaster Roar Pro Review

Vortez tried the Creative Sound Blaster Roar Pro

A quote from the article:
A year ago, Creative graced us with the Roar portable Bluetooth speaker. It's sleek, compact design and fantastic audio quality only tells half the story. The long list of features and I/O options helped to make it a useful, functional tool more-so than just a speaker to pair your phone with.

The Roar Pro comes with familiar Roar features as it shares the same dimensions, weight and aesthetic to the original Roar. It has a similar driver ensemble (that being 1x 2.5" sub, 2x 1.5" tweeters and 2x passive side radiators) that is powered a bi-amplified design, giving a dedicated amplifer for the stereo and subwoofer channels. Looking at the changes, the circuitry has been improved by the Creative team to maximise the efficiency of that 6000mAh battery, giving a nice bump in its rated life span from 8 to 10hrs (T&Cs apply). You will also find that the Roar Pro also sports the latest aptX Low Latency wireless codec that is recommended for syncing video/audio.

The defining difference is the ability to pair it with the iRoar microphone, transforming the Roar Pro into a powerful yet compact, wireless PA system. The iRoar microphone is a lightweight, wireless microphone that features a 3.5mm line-in that can transmit high quality music playback along with your voice, as well as a mic-in port. This opens up possibilities beyond just a PA system, including use for karaoke and recording your singing session via the Roar's recording to microSD card function.
