A:AnswerI'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:AnswerIt 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:AnswerAmazing 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.
A:AnswerEXC 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.
A:AnswerHello 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!
A:AnswerI use it on my motorcycle. However, it's a BMW RT1200 which runs very quietly and it also has a full fairing and windshield. It works fairly well up to about 50+ MPH.
A:AnswerHi Moose, There is really no functional difference between the Boom 2 and Boom 2 EXC---they're essentially the same. Best regards, Richard from Logitech
A:AnswerWhen the speaker is powered on press volume up and volume down at the same time. The speaker will announce the remaining charge percentage.
or
download the BOOM app and it will tell you in the app
A:AnswerHello Piper, unfortunately you aren't able to buy a new battery. We are so happy to hear you absolutely loved the Boom 2.

A:AnswerSpeaker changes through the USB cable. I believe the light illuminates to show its charging. I used a USB wall plug from another device to charge.
