Creative iRoar Go Bluetooth Portable Speaker Review

Audio/Speakers&Amps by stefan @ 2016-11-28

The iRoar Go Bluetooth Speaker is another impressive release from Creative which was built upon the already successful design of its older brothers, but features a smaller footprint, while keeping the active drivers at the same diameter. We can play back music on it via Bluetooth, have it connected to our PC for listening to music and conferencing thanks to the integrated microphone, connect an external sound source via Aux In, use an USB Flash Drive with audio in order to play it back easily but it is also supplied with a microSD card slot as another resource from where we can listen to music. Additionally, we can use the internal battery to charge our mobile devices on USB (up to 1A output), install a 3rd party microphone in order to enhance the recording quality and also work with the audio profiles thanks to the Creative Sound Blaster Connect desktop and mobile applications. As Creative does mention, the newly-released iRoar Go is not afraid of water and is splash-resistant with an IPX6 rating.
