“The HP Roar Bluetooth speaker is about as simple as it gets.”

“The other reviewers are not kidding–this thing is great!. It has unbelievable bass for being of such a small size.”

“This is a great little wireless speaker.The sound is quite good from such a small speaker!”

“This is a nice small speaker that is the definition of simplicity.”

“For its size, the sound quality is excellent… average music lovers will be very happy.  A trip to the lake, camping, park, etc. all come to mind.”

“The Roar incorporates all of the elements I seek when evaluating a speaker and it is done in a device that fits with ease in a person’s palm.”

“I did my normal examination of speakers by playing The 1812 Overture and there were zero defects even when the cannons were going boom. The Introduction, while very quiet, was audible without having to increase the volume. Lesser speakers will force that increase in volume and then you are forced to lower it when the cannons begin or run the risk of blowing a speaker.”

“Roar, indeed. In recent months I have had the privilege of using and testing several of the new wireless speakers with wide price ranges and technical specifications…The Roar, however, stands a notch above all of them and even several notches above the cheaper speakers.”

“Sound — quite good for a small speaker. I own two other bluetooth speakers. It’s much better than my other speaker, I listen mostly to classical music, and this little speaker performs well for that.. Overall, this performed a little better than I expected.”

This is a great little wireless speaker. The sound is quite good from such a small speaker!”

“Clean, full sound… Both music and voice sound good.”

Wow…5 minutes from box to listening to tunes from my IPhone. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker, as a classically trained pianist sound is important to me. This little speaker can go anywhere, room to room, the backyard, a party or picnic! What is not to love about this powerful, portable speaker. Highly recommend!”

“GREAT for low volume listening also…the 15 or so volume levels available have lots of increments in the “very quiet” range….perfect to fall asleep to quiet music, etc. I’m likely to buy another as a gift because no matter what the end -user values, this will hit the mark and show I really cared to find something of value and quality that will be enjoyed for years to come.”

“Great sound for the size – Passive radiator and 2 speakers yield remarkably clear , clean sound and plenty of low-end to make you forget you are only listening to a BT speaker and not a home stereo. I was able to hear it from rooms away and when I’m in the same room, I have to turn the volume down often. Most speakers have to be cranked to full volume and then start to distort. Not this one. I was completely surprised at the sound quality…it seems to have effortless power.”

“If you are looking for a $49 to $99 Bluetooth speaker, this should be your top choice. I’ve owned other such products that focused on being good at one thing (small, stylish, boomy, etc) but never put it all together.”
