Google confirms that the Galaxy has been removed from the Nexus Play Store due to Apple and will be back on sale next week

This is not the first time that we review here on bluetooth speaker Androidworld and curiosity then why ROAR Creative SoundBlaster was now high. It is not the "usual" bluetooth speaker for a couple of reasons: the number of functions available and the technical characteristics of the speaker itself.

Speaking strictly of audio, the device is equipped with well 2 audio amplifiers, one for the high frequencies and one for low. In this way the frequencies are reproduced faithfully. In addition to this we have two drivers front for other frequencies, an upper 2.5 "low-frequency and two passive radiators on the sides to increase the spaciousness of the sound (though perhaps not his strongest point). The volume generated by this device is impressive and the aluminum monocoque allows individual parts to vibrate as little as possible and not to "disturb" the sound with distortion involuntary. Even at full volume so there is no change in the sound we hear. Creative also includes a feature ROAR (which gives its name to the product) and used to fill most of the sound and then let us feel even more full-bodied and higher (by volume), sacrificing a minimum purity of sound. At a party, do not worry, no one will notice. And if you add the second button on the back, called TeraBass his feature also serves to "inflate" the sound, but in this case only on the low. 

Size and weight are absolutely in line with the type of product, but probably make the product less "portable" between those we tested, especially for the weight of 1.1 kg well. Therefore, it is a portable product (considering also the autonomy of up to 8 hours), but not in the handbag. The battery of 6000 mAh can then also charges via the USB port and cable (included), your smartphone or tablet (given that the output is 1A, and may load slowly on your tablet).

On the top are the power button and the display NFC. If a programme that point on our smartphones with NFC access the coupling between the two devices will be automatic. On the back is this then a switch between four modes of use bluetooth: a free, one only for two devices and only for devices already paired before. Above are the key to the association classic via bluetooth (if your phone did not have NFC) and to respond to phone calls. Go to the volume keys.

But we move on the back that we are spoiled for choice. The key TeraBass if held longer also serves as a warning to call attention to, and just below there is the bluetooth switch and controls, which unfortunately does not allow you to control the music via bluetooth, but only those included in the microSD card that you can enter into SoundBlaster ROAR SR20 (and make it independent of other audio sources). We are still under a "Section" key to record the sound from the front microphone. Sound is recorded at 16 Hz WAV, good for phone calls and field recordings, but not for recording music. In the area dedicated connections are also a microUSB port for charging the device or use it as a speaker with USB audio for PC and Mac. Still in the left we find a classic "aux in" cable to connect any audio source, and finally a connector for charging. As we mentioned, you can also charge the speaker via microUSB, albeit slightly slower.As we point plus the ability to connect two ROAR SR20 via a dedicated cable and implement a system -fi home even more interesting.

Overall Creative SoundBlaster ROAR is the Bluetooth audio device which has convinced us in all our trials. The sound is faithful and as high volume, but at the same time you can "pump it" even further with features and ROAR TeraBass. The number of features is then cut off (so much so that some functions seem almost overly redundant), and all easy to use. The ability to use it as a charger for your phone or be used on a PC via USB-audio, make it one of the most complete and all at a reasonable price, considering all that we have said. SoundBlaster ROAR is on sale at discount price at € 149. Until October 31 you can then buy it with a coupon code to 10% off. The code is ROARIT10. The only reason why you might prefer another device that, in the range below 200 € could be only in size and weight.
