Creative iRoar Wireless Intelligent Speaker Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2018-07-07

After fully charging the iRoar as soon as it arrived, we have connected the speaker via USB to our computer, in order to try out the Dashboard but also to check for the latest firmware updates. The software has updated the speaker firmware in about a minute and we were ready to rock! After listening plenty of clips on YouTube, some TV shows and the Death Wish movie with Bruce Willis, we were quite surprised how loud the speaker can get. After enabling Roar mode, everything got boosted, including the bass effects, which is a treat during action scenes. The speaker can deliver when playing games as well, thanks to the multitude of drivers (active (subwoofer driver and the two frontal tweeter drivers) and passive (two radiators on the side)).

The GUI does also allow changing the interface language, updating the application or the iRoar firmware, but also the Audio Prompts. If something is not working as intended, we can also perform a Factory Default Reset:
