TLDR: Overall, this speaker was a great choice for me living in Hawai'i and spending a lot of time at the beach and doing outdoor BBQs. Good sound, good batter life, and good customer service. -- The sound is incredible for the size of this thing, I personally feel the sound is full and captures both highs and lows. Even in open spaces the bass sounds great and that's where most speakers fall off. At high volumes I don't really hear any distortion either. I am using Spotify and sometimes set the EQ to loud to get a bit of a boost and still no distortion. Indoors, it's game over. The sound is incredible, put it in a corner and it will blow you away. It will likely whoop your soundbar or any other typical home setup. When I use it indoors I don't want to upset the neighbors so I used the app to create a custom equalizer setting and reduce the base significantly. I initially had two of them to pair, and it worked amazing in both stereo mode where each one acts as a left and right channel, and the normal stereo mode where each does both left and right channels itself. If you are an audio snob, you'll like this one. Battery life is pretty good. It will last I'd say somewhere between 8 hours on full blast, which I think is pretty good. I wish it was a little better, but considering we are really jamming it, it somewhat makes sense and I still find it acceptable for its footprint. Plus, if you aren't putting it in a closet or anything, it is a simple modern design that looks good in a room. Also, I like the design because unlink the JBLs that call fall over or roll over, this won't. It's got a good weight to it. I was also considering the Soundboks, but I didn't like the price of the Soundboks, the weight, and the fact that it is mono output. Soundboks was so loud it becomes a nuisance and is like traveling with a cooler everywhere. I also like Bose, but tbh they seem to pump up the base to annoying levels where vocals get drowned out. My issues: I wish the back charge port covered by a rubber cover stayed in place better since I'm around sand a lot. I just don't want to risk getting moisture or sand in the ports, so I'm more careful in that regard. Other than that... it's a solid buy and I don't think you'll have many if any complaints. I initially had an issue where a couple months in it just stopped powering on or would immediately power off and lose charge despite not being used or unplugged for a day. Working with UE customer service was super easy though and they sent me a replacement one quickly. Considering I live in Hawai'i and didn't have to pay shipping either, I'd say that was a win.
