One of the worst purchases I've ever made. Battery started losing life almost immediately. Within less than a year, it wasn't working at all. Never even used this product outside or treated it harshly. Just poorly made.

Sound and lights are cool, but the battery dies after 2 hours.
Hi Marie. Thanks for your review of the Uber Boom Ultra. The battery is designed to last about 12 hours on a full charge, though the playtime can vary depending on factors like volume levels, use of lighting effects, and other settings. For optimal performance, please ensure you're charging the speaker with a 5V 2A charging block, as this can significantly impact battery longevity. If your device still doesn’t hold a sufficient charge and you’re confident in your charging source, please reach out to our support team so we can assist further.

Poor battery life

Pretty good sound, has great bass but only holds a charge for an hour and a half before battery is low. Which is not great for portability.

Battery life wasnt what it claimed to be. Not as loud as its size would lead you to believe. A $30 bluetooth speaker would perform just as well in all areas.
Thank you for your feedback! If you believe your unit is malfunctioning or is not outputting sufficient volume, please contact support at www.ionaudio.com/support so that one of our agents can assist with troubleshooting!

Great speaker. Purchased to hook up to our projector for game nights and family get together. It’s waterproof, lightweight, and has aux and Bluetooth mode. It also lights up and you can change the light modes. It’s loud enough to be used outdoors as well. Battery lasts long and charges fast.

Homest opinion

I bought the speaker about four years ago and it still works. The speaker sounds best if you put it in a corner or around walls. Other than that, it’s pretty quiet. But this thing booms! the whole house will shake if you put it in a corner. I’m mainly listen to rock music and instruments. If you’re looking for a speaker in the $300 range and you listen to rock music. I would seriously suggest the Marshall killburn II. It’s not as durable as this speaker as far as water and drops and stuff. . But the battery life is crazy on the marshall! And you can control bass and treble.

This speaker has excellent sound. It gets loud with a nice bass and stays clear without any speaker rattle. Perfect for outdoors and indoor applications

Got this as a Christmas gift and love it for the beach and in my office. Used it every day until lately when it would just randomly turn off after about 30 minutes. I reached out to the company and was told that this “REQUIRES a DC 5V 2A adapter which is not included”. Is that crazy, or what? Its required but not included. That insanity deducts two stars.
Hi Isaiah. Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with the Uber Boom Ultra.
Regarding the power adapter, we understand your concern. The decision not to include a 5V 2A USB power block is based on the fact that many customers already own compatible USB power adapters from their other devices. By not including the adapter, we aim to reduce electronic waste and keep our products as affordable as possible.
We recommend using a 5V 2A adapter for optimal performance to ensure the best experience with your Uber Boom Ultra. While a 5V 1A adapter might work, it may not provide sufficient power for sustained use, which could be causing the issue you encountered.
If you're able to charge the Uber Boom Ultra with a charging block that provides sufficient power and the issue persists, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.

Sound quality and volume range is poor compared to other brand speakers in this price range. There are speakers that cost $40 less and proform much better.

Please feel free to reach out to our live technical support agents for assistance at www.ionaudio.com/support.

Not what I expected

I wanted a weatherproof raio and was misguided by the description of this Bluetooth speaker.
Hello! The Uber Boom Ultra is listed as "IP66 WATER-RESISTANT/SANDPROOF"which means its protected against high-pressure water streams. I hope this cleared up any confusion!
