![]() Weighing in at 810g the iRoar Go feels great in your hand. It's unusual to see something like this without any foam padding but I suppose that Creative either have a high regard of mail couriers worldwide or are confident in the robustness of the speaker. Opening the box I found the speaker wrapped in a protective foam bag and held securely by a cardboard insert. At first sight I was surprised at how small the box was and thought that I had received a gimmicky, toy trinket speaker but when I picked the box up the reassuring weight of it told me there was a substantial object within. The iRoar Go is presented in a tiny, little, high quality, black box with a glossy image of the speaker on the front plus some features and accessories on the back. The iRoar Go currently retails for $199 and can be purchased directly from Creative's website or one of the many other retailers that carry Creative stock. I have no affiliation with the company and all observations and opinions are my own, based on my experience with the product. This sample was sent to me for the purpose of an honest review. ![]() ![]() How does this reddot design awarded speaker measure up in this somewhat saturated category? Let's find out. Today I'll be taking a look at the Creative iRoar Go, a weather and splash-proof portable Bluetooth speaker with SuperWide technology that packs in a bundle of features. Today, Creative is spearheading new product categories with its groundbreaking Sound BlasterAxx audio enhancement devices and solutions, highly-acclaimed Creative D5xm Signature Series of modular Bluetooth wireless speakers, Aurvana premium headsets, Sound Blaster wireless gaming headsets, and cross-platform Sound Blaster Recon3D for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC or Mac. Not content to sit on their laurels, the company has this to say: Some say staying at the top of the game is harder than getting there in the first place. Even my current computer has a Sound Blaster Recon3D taking care of the on-board audio duties. Since then I've had quite a few of their 2.1 offerings as well as a couple of their PCI internal sound cards. My first ever multimedia speaker upgrade was a Creative 2.1 speaker system that served me well for several years. Anyone who has been into computer audio solutions has probably at least heard of Creative and particularly their Sound Blaster sound cards which were first launched in 1989.įounded in Singapore in 1981, Creative has become a veritable giant in the Personal Digital Entertainment (PDE) market with a user base of 400 million worldwide. Let's just say that at the time AMD was leading the computer graphics card race, Pentium CPUs were all the rage and ribbon IDE cables were still a thing. In fact it was so long ago I'm embarrassed to say exactly when it was. I had my first experience with Creative a long time ago. ![]()
