  My order status has been updated to shipped. There is a tracking number but I can't track with their link. It's going to 404 page not found.

  Looks like the shipment is coming from the US using a freight forward service.

  ROAR! i got it! It sounds amazing in my opinion.

  Just don't play too loud, it gets cracking and stuff like that.

  Soft music and quiet environment, this is great speaker.

  For $20, extreme happy customer!

  shonofear on 06/06/2015 - 08:57

  got mine few days ago. only getting around 2hrs of bluetooth playtime at low volume levels after fully charging…
  i charged it into a apple white usb power adapter into mains, can't be too powerful in a harmful way could it, or is it meant to be charged via a computer?
  sounds fine for a small room, now all the rooms in my house have 1 :P
  i see a few on ebay now

  My roar is experiencing the battery issues mentioned on Amazon. Constantly blinking power button and hardly any play time. If I leave it alone, off charge, for a few days it is completely unresponsive and needs 5 mins just to show the blinking amber light.

  I got 4 of them to give as gifts but can't risk it now since the recipient will find out how much I paid when the try and return!

  Looks like they're all going back.

  PS, it should also be noted that I received the 4 speakers I ordered in a large box with no protective packing. The 4 units took up about 1/4 of the volume of the box and were free to tumble about in this box. Absolute joke.

    Just a quick follow up. I tested my charging set up for the Roar with my phone which tells me how long it takes until fully charged; I have a range of USB chargers and cables that I use. The charger and cable I was using for the Roar showed a 6 hour charge time for my Nexus 5 but when I changed the cable (same wall plug) the charge time dropped to 1.5hrs. I then plugged that new cable set up into the Roar and it was charged in ~4hrs. Took it outside and had it playing music for about 3 hours straight as I vacuumed and washed the cars. I'm not convinced yet that it's not faulty but I will keep playing around until I find a charger/cable combination that provides enough power to charge it quicker.

    TL;DR, make sure you have a charger and cable that is capable of providing the Roar with enough juice (amps)!

      I have downloaded an app from Play Store called Ampere. It measures the rate of charge for your mobile. After finding a charger/USB cable combination that was putting out close to 1A on my phone, I connected it to the speaker and it charged in about an hour. Been getting about 4-5hrs play time on it.

      My bad HP. Still, learn how to pack your shipments properly you palookas.

  the issue now is that it can't be charged via USB plug ac adapter.

  Only can charge via powerbank or usb-computer/laptop.

  Start to feel it's a wasted $20, when there's no support seems.
