Creative iRoar Go - REVIEW (and compared to JBL Charge 3)

2016-11-15
hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room I was away on business all of last week so you didn't see any videos come out but hum PEC for the remainder of the year now while I was gone creative labs did send me their newest creative Aurore go which is a portable version of their 2016 I roar now it's priced at $199 retail at the time of this video but I'll place my links in the video description below click on my links you know give you the most updated prices in real time now jumping right into this this looks very similar to the previous creative rural products that have tested over the years is the same great metal finish highly durable construction and solid quality the only error physically that I would critique here would be the buns are now recessed or dimpled in quite a bit and I'm sure it is to prevent any accidental presses while in transport but being as recessed as it is it takes a little more effort in each press and it's just simply not as intuitive not a deal breaker but something to point out on the sides you still have these same base radiators and with its new metal finish it looks and feels very premium and as this is designed for portability I do admit the size is quite nice it's in between a medium to small size bluetooth speaker and the weight is very similar to the competition at one point seven eight pounds or 810 grams now new to the eye or go is the IP X six certification with a six signifying it is splash proof it's not fully waterproof but I guess you can have some peace of mind here if you're by the pool a speaker still works perfectly fine F I poured water on this thing now rotating to the rear the ports are covered by a rubber flap and behind here you charge the unit with the supplied AC adapter there's a three 1/2 millimeter input a USB charge out port so the speaker can charge your phone or other devices just like a power bank there's a microUSB port here to listen to your audio with your PC and less is a micro SD card slot for those intending and using stored music now with the micro SD card slot you're able to listen to flat files which are uncompressed audio for one of the cleanest and best audio experiences now one thing I did want to mention though sadly I didn't find the ability for the IRA or go to charge via the micro USB port if you need to charge this you have to bring along the wall after the regarding better life creative is claiming up to 12 hours of use which I found accurate with 50% volume and compared to the competition the very poplar Bose Soundlink mini 2 gets 10 hours and the other very popular JBL charge 3 gets a whopping 20 hours of use now on the far left of the speaker or all your media controls plus the Aurora button that changes your audio sound signature and right before getting to the audio test creative is very much promoting a wide soundstage based on the placement of his speaker itself there's rubber or a silicon feet on the front here allowing you to stand this vertically up for use and with this method audio is pushed directly at you instead of firing towards the ceiling and it does help with providing a more immersive sound stage now there's other variations too like placing the speaker near a wall or having a speaker at different heights would change the audio characteristics pretty straightforward but here let me play several songs for you guys and then I'll give you my verdict afterwards but I guess over the years things changed and the monsters I was a versus scare found the way runs in my life and kept straight into my hide and now I feel them crawl D scream the deep inside my body becoming me and I feel I'm crawling no your them scream the team inside my party me to do I swear I just wanna feel and there you have it folks of course audio recorded on my end and then play through your speakers are not the best depiction of audio quality but hence my review here and when I first listened to this speaker first impressions that is it sounded quite good for the average consumer the speaker is genuinely loud and low to moderate volume here there's a sense of clarity and overall enjoyment from this speaker now bass is one of the biggest selling points creative is promoting here and the IRA or NGO surely has it for such a small size now even at times it sounds deeper and even louder than the popular JBL charge three and even the sound stage is a bit wider as well but I did notice when you do have the I roared go at higher volumes on select generals of music you do have some muddy mids and the high frequencies do tend to be a bit noisy it's much more apparent on popping fast EDM music now having the speaker placed vertically does have quite a bit here as demonstrated in the video and even some EQ adjusting might be a must for those who are more particular with their audio now overall it's a good speaker and does outperform some but then there are some particular songs that is as mentioned earlier the quality clarity and the fidelity is lost now also considering its price points I think there's more well-rounded Bluetooth speakers out there with indeed less features but the audio quality I think does sound better specifically the Bose Soundlink mini 2 and the sony srs series of options and before if we get here regarding Bluetooth range this sounded perfectly fine when I have the speaker and the cell phone here and opposite sides of the house so how this review helped in some way be sure to LIKE and subscribe if you haven't already and add me on to Facebook Twitter and or Instagram you guys take care and I'll see you on the next one bye I lost my
