Verdict

The HP Roar Mini is an ultra-portable wireless speaker featuring a distinctive triangular design measuring approximately 3 x 3 inches and weighing 0.55 lbs. Powered by a single 40mm driver with an internal passive radiator, it delivers 2.5W RMS audio output across a frequency range of 120 Hz to 18,000 Hz. Key advantages include Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity with dual-device syncing up to 33 feet, a built-in noise-canceling microphone for speakerphone functionality, and an impressive battery life rating of up to 28 hours. However, main drawbacks include its relatively low power output compared to modern competitors, a lack of official dust or water resistance, and the absence of an auxiliary input for wired connections.

What customers dislike about HP Roar Mini?

  • Noticeable lack of deep bass and low-end depth due to its small speaker drivers
  • Sound profile can lean towards treble-heavy or slightly tinny when listening at close range
  • Lacks water and dust resistance ratings, making it less suitable for rugged outdoor or poolside use
  • Lacks advanced modern audio codecs like aptX and relies on older Bluetooth protocols
  • Automatically resets back to a loud default volume upon powering on rather than saving the last user setting
