Creative Roar 2 just feels like an old uncle who has the raw power, who lacks finesse and is fat around the middle but still can hold his own in a fight well.įor a street price of Rs 16,000, for a Premium class of Bluetooth player, I’d rather spend a little more and go for the Harmon Kardon Esquire 2 for Rs 20,000 for the excellent sound and beautiful design aesthetics any day.įind latest and upcoming tech gadgets online on Tech2 Gadgets. Who really needs a voice recorder and USB host audio? Most people going for a premium player would want good sound no doubt and excellent design. Where the player lacks, is actually design aesthetics and that ironically it throws in so much but doesn’t try to stay lean on a diet. Creative always throws in a crazy amount of features such as MicroSD music player, voice recorder, charger for other devices and USB host audio replacement possibility, which is all great. It has good sound and can definitely rock a small party. The mic is close to the (front) base of the unit and isn’t as capable of catching voice as well as the Esquire 2 but does a decent job.ĭoes the Roar 2 have the barrage and the clamour we are looking for? Well, sort of. For a Bluetooth speaker, with no screen and no real reason to tinker with, it just doesn’t seem to make sense at all for such an abysmal battery performance. In fact, a 6000 mAh battery in a smartphone with a big 5.5-inch screen can last 2 days or lesser with all the tinkering. In comparison, Harmon Kardon Esquire 2 with 3200 mAh battery can last for around the same time. Interestingly Roar 2 has a massive 6000 mAh Li-ion battery built into it and yet the player manages a measly 8 hours as per Creative marketing is shocking! During testing, we got approximate 7 hours while tinkering around with the player. A philosophy which we’ve seen Creative reflect in its product range repeatedly.Ĭreative Roar 2 claims a battery life of 8 hours. The Esquire 2 sounds more like a leaner better-trained singer while Roar 2 offers more raw power, boomier sound to awe the audience and of course, throws in more features to please many. When comparing it to a Bluetooth speaker of a similar premium class like Harman Kardon Esquire 2, the Roar 2 while good, isn’t as refined in the sound as Esquire 2 is. Sometimes I found it too bassy and at other times turning off all modes sounded just right for background music effect. The two modes “Tera Bass and Roar” help to increase bass or increase mids-highs to stand out more depending largely on the room acoustics.
It can definitely rock a small party well, without distortion and sound good while doing it. Second, there’s a lot of sound in this little player. Compare this to the puny little lonesome mono speaker that most Bluetooth speakers come equipped with which obviously fumble at complex sounds.

It uses separate drivers to deliver, highs, mids and bass and this shows. This Bluetooth speaker has many things going for it, that make it sound good.įirst, it has stereo sound, which is a big plus. It is better than most Bluetooth speakers we’ve heard and we’ve heard plenty.

The Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 was tested with an Android Nexus 5 and a Windows 10 desktop. That’s better than the premium Harman Kardon Esquire 2 that just offers a USB cable and nothing at all. Unlike Harman Kardon Esquire 2, Creative has thoughtfully included a power adapter and a micro-USB cable as part of the accessories.
You can charge your mobile device with a huge capacity of 6000 mAh, the Roar 2 can truly deliver to the road warrior on the move. What’s a Creative product without a dozen options thrown in? You get not only aux-in but also MicroSD capable inbuilt music player and the capability to charge any other device via the DC Out 1A (5V) charger which is real nice touch. Compare this with Harman Kardon’s Esquire 2 which is at 599 gm in a sleeker and taller design, which makes it easier to handle than Roar 2 not only design wise, but also in terms of weight distribution. And this weight is ‘dead-centre’ in a compact space lifting it up with one hand will give you quite the workout. Roar 2 doesn’t even come close to light, it weighs 1 kg for a Bluetooth speaker. “Smaller, lighter” dare say Creative’s marketing, especially when comparing to their own Roar 1 which is a laugh.
