Q: Is this a refurbished unit?
A: I'm starting to wonder. I just bought two of them. Opened one, it looks new but the serial numbers don't match the box. I'm asking UE about this. I've been burned by the refurbished units in the past, the battery was horrible, we ended up returning it.
A: It can be connected to Android devices. There is also an Android app so that you can update speaker firmware as well as adjust treble, bass, etc.
A: It is 7 inches tall and 2.5 inches diameter. I have had mine for about 4 years and I love it. Great sound.
Q: Can you hook it to the tv.. to help someone that is hard of hearing to hear the tv better
A: Amazing that these answers are so incomplete, so let me explain a bit more fully. To use a Bluetooth (BT) speaker with your TV you need either a TV that has a built-in BT output (not very common) or you must provide your own add-on BT Transmitter that you would connect to a suitable TV audio OUTPUT device. Now here's where things get more complicated. There are two main considerations: (1) lip-sync delay when using BT, and (2) number of SIMULTANEIOUS audio outputs supported by your TV. Let me discuss these separately. 1) Lip Sync. Unless you use a BT Transmitter and also a BT Speaker/Headphone that support APTXLL, you will not be able to obtain lip sync between the video and BT audio. This will annoy you! There is at least ONE inexpensive add-on BT Transmitter that you can add to virtually ANY TV that has one or more audio outputs. It's made by AVANTREE and its the model BTT-418. It's small, works very well (with APTXLL supported headphones or speakers) and it also has the ability to send to two separate BT stereo devices! That is really a nice feature if you need to support headphone audio to two different listeners for example, or one headphone listener and a stereo BT speaker. 2) No. of SIMJULTANEOUS audio outputs supported by your TV or AVR. Most TVs and most Audio-Video Receivers (AVR) will permit ONLY ONE AUDIO OUTPUT to be ON. For example, My LG TV supports Optical, RCA and mini-Phone connections as well as HDMI ARC as input to my AVR. But only ONE of these outputs is capable of delivering audio output. You get to choose which one. So, for example, if I want to use the HDMI ARC support with my AVR, I cannot also port audio out to the BT transmitter! I'd need either one of the rare TVs or AVRs that DO permit simultaneous audio outputs to these two devices, or I can use an add-on products and or possibly a Y-connector at the optical TV output that MIGHT offer an alternative means of obtaining two simultaneous audio outputs, but that's beyond the scope of this reply. So be sure you understand your needs before you purchase your equipment.
Q: What does the EXC stand for? Is this a newer version or enhanced version of the Boom 2.
A: EXC actually stands for Exclusive. It has all the same specifications as the Boom 2 (15 hours of battery life and can be in 3ft of water for 30 minutes) but it comes in exclusive colors and is only available while supplies last at Best Buy.
Q: Is this compatible with the mega blast docking\charging pad?
A: Sadly it not
Q: Can two of these be paired?
A: Hello PAIRINGPOSSIBLE! Yes, the BOOM 2 Portable Wireless Speaker can pair up with another Boom 2 no problem. It can also pair up with the newer Boom 3, Megaboom and Megaboom 3, as well as the Hyperboom. Using the free UE BOOM App that can be downloaded on iOS or Android, you can actually pair up to 150 speakers together if you'd like, thanks to the PartyUp feature!
