Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought this unit to take on the river, camping, sitting around the fire pit...etc. it has surpassed our expectations for quality and battery life. The sound from our Boom is amazing for what t is. Does the bass pound? No....but for he size it is more than adequate. Inside I rarely turn it up past half. It really fils the room with sound! The battery life is all that you could ask for. I will say that if it is cranked you are not gonna get 15 hours out of it but I play it at least 8 hours when camping and I have never run out of battery. Sped the extra money on this unit and you will not regret it. It's worth every penny!

This is an amazing little speaker. For the price and size, the sound quality is stunning. When I paired my iPod and hit play, I had my iPod volume up all the way, and the sound that came out of the BOOM had my mouth hanging open. I didn't know such a tiny speaker could put out such great sound. I'm tempted to go out and get a second one. You will not regret purchasing this little bad boy.

The speaker wasn't loud enough for our needs. We also didn't like volume adjustment buttons.

The sound is fantastic. Setup and usage of the app is super easy. However the "smart bluetooth" feature that should allow a user to remotely turn the unit back on doesnt seem to work right, but thats a minor drawback

This small light weight speaker plays large awesome bass, great for the driveway with friends,or the beach.Love the speaker!!!!!

I purchased this great little speaker after purchasing a Jawbone Jawbox (which is ok at low volumn levels). I went to best buy and found a young man who was full of knowlege about bluetooth speakers. He and I picked out the 3 speakers we thought were the best and did a side by side comparison. He did a demo on all 3 of them over and over with different types of music to get the full affect of the speakes. We looked at the Bose Mini, the Bose II and the UE Boom. The UE Boom in my opinion outperformed the 2 Bose speakers. I am in no way an audio expert, but my ears work great. This little speaker connected to my Samsung SIII quickly, the volume on the speaker is eay to use. The packaging is pretty cool also. I just cant bring myself to throw it away. Get one and enjoy the sound.

I originally received a Beats Pill as a gift. My daughter had a UE Boom, and the sound is no comparison. The Boom provides a much fuller, less tinny sound. I returned the Pill and got my own Boom. It holds a good long charge and syncs quickly. Now my only trouble is figuring out which UE Boom is mine in my Bluetooth devices list!

It's small. It's portable. It's LOUD. Perfect for the bathroom while showering or in the den. Everyone should get one.

I bought this speaker because I wanted something to take out on the pontoon boat and they said it was waterproof. It has hit the deck on the boat several times so I am glad that it can take good beating and keep on performing. It might be better though if it had some sort of stand that would keep it from falling and rolling around on the boat. maybe make it a hexigon like a pencil so it wont roll. The sound is great. Everyone who hears it is impressed.

The speaker has great quality, bass and loudness. The battery lasts a long time on it. One thing though, when pairing it with my Nexus 6P to play music on Pandora, the sound cuts out after a couple songs, then I have to hit a volume button on the speaker or pause and play the music again. Has the latest firmware. Don't know if it's an issue with my BOOM, Nexus 6P or Pandora Android app. It also happens on my BOOM 2.

I really like this speaker. Its sound quality is great, and the battery life seems long.

I rarely purchase anything over $100 without a fair amount of research as to my best option considering value and quality. I purchased the UE Boom after reading many reviews and eventually hands-on testing of my top picks. It was difficult for me to decide between this speaker and another as they were so close. In my experience, the most notable features were the Boom's multi-directional sound and the high volume with low distortion. The one lacking aspect that really turned me off was the poor bass output. Bass is virtually non-existent. Highs and mids are crisp and clear but the bass is so inadequate that it is distracting. I am not referring to a Sir Mix-A-Lot window rattling bass. Imagine if McCartney only sang and didn't play bass or the Red Hot Chili Peppers without Flea. The lack of bass is the only thing the Boom needs to make this the perfect Bluetooth speaker. The bottom line is if you are a young twenty-something who has frequent large gatherings outdoors during the summer, this is the speaker for you. If you are a little more experienced in life (slightly older) and enjoy craft beer while toasting a few premium cigars with some good friends, you might want to consider the Bose Soundlink Mini. I returned the Boom and purchased the Mini. It is tiers above the Boom for sound quality but it should be noted that it is much less convenient than the Boom. I am willing to give up convenience for sound quality. The speakers sole purpose is to play music so sound quality should be given priority. The Boom can be placed anywhere and fill the entire area with it's 360 design, it's simply amazing. Place the Mini in the corner of a room and you're good. The Boom can be left outside and survive a rain storm. Don't forget the Mini outside. The Boom has a higher sound level output. If you own a Mini, don't invite over your friends who scream their glory-days stories. Combine the features of the Boom with the sound of the Soundlink Mini and you have the perfect Bluetooth speaker.

Performs well, love the sound, and how portable the speaker is.

This is a great speaker, especially when it was on sale for black Friday/cyber Monday for $99. Working outdoors I need a speaker that is dust and water resistant. Love being able to pair it with another UE BOOM.

Works very well. Good sound. Great size. Vesitile.

In short, this is a great little speaker. It pairs for the first time quite easily and has a big sound for its little size. It is apparently highly water resistant, but I have yet to test that feature thank goodness. At this price point it has some pretty stiff competition and I think sounds equally as well, it certainly has the longest battery life in class. Overall, great speaker, love it!

I love the clarity of the audio sound it produces while listening to music. Audio quality is just perfect. With IOS and Android apps you can fine tune the EQ which was the plus point for me to choose over Bose Sound Link Mini. Also it have a perfect volume of bass. I can listen to the music whole day and my ears doesn't get tired of of the sound. In addition you can set the alarm and use as a speaker phone. With the medium level of volume I can listen loud music in apartment style living room. Its features are worth every penny.

Bought one to listen to my iPod around the house and it exceeded my expectations. Very good sound, the battery last a long time, easy set up. Definitely worth the price.

This is an excellent Bluetooth speaker. Great sound quality and is very loud. It's worth the money. I have had no problems with it. Battery life is great!

You must truly experience it for yourself in order to get the full effect. Like many shoppers here, I was looking for something compact but able to produce great sound. I was looking at the jambox but the reviews told me to stay clear of it. I picked this (all black) to prevent dirt from being too noticed once it start to get dirty. The only thing that some may complain about is that it cannot be placed horizontally unless you place something in front or back of it to stop it from rolling...but thats my take on it.
