Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this speaker so that I could listen to music at work with these three important features: 1) audible crisp, clear sounds at very, very low volumes; 2) be wireless; 3) be small and portable. I am pleased to report that the UE Boom Wireless Bluetooth delivers wonderfully on all three fronts. I am so pleased with the speaker that I bought another one for home use and a third one for a Christmas gift. And the real bonus is that I bought them during the 2015 Black Friday deal for $99 each :)

I bought the BOOM BT Speaker for my wife after she and I considered most of what Best Buy had do offer. We chose this model because of its sound and clarity. We looked at the Bose alternatives and felt this one sounded as good, shaped better for what we do and pricing was better. So far, we have no complaints about this unit. We have taken several trips and used it with our computer and phones in both car and room. My wife loves to hear both the highs and low sound. This unit makes her smile. Brownie points for me!!!

Ok let me say that I have sold and installed all forms of audio for over 25 years. So I know a thing or two a bought good sound. After listening to every small blue tooth speaker out there for over 3 months this unit has the best well rounded sound out there for the money. Its simple and works flawless weather paired with my smart phone or my ipod. I have been cranking it for over a week on the first charge and its not done yet. Plus it takes up no more room than a tall boy and fills and entire room with sweet sound.

My criterion was that, as a public speaker in small meeting rooms that don't always have adequate sound system set up for video clips and PowerPoints - I needed something with clear sound, that could be set up in an instant without wires but could fill a room sitting 50-90 people. This fills the bill as we travel, particularly in Eastern Europe. The bonus is that in between, there is great sound in our room using an iPhone. Fifteen hours of sound without charging is awesome. And, the charger is small and works on 110 and 220 volt power for USA and Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia. As for the color being called "pink" . . . . well it is more of a red color . . . as a guy I was afraid of it being feminine but, even my granddaughter, who loves pink, when she first saw it on my desk said, "Grandpa, what is that red thing on your desk?" I bought the "pink" one because it was significantly cheaper at the store the day I went to buy it. I really wanted the black, but the cost was too good to pass up. Now I am so glad . . . I have grown into enjoying the "red" one. The sound is great for music or video clips and really has more than enough volume to fill up a room.

The UE Boom having its 360 degree sound, and the capability of hooking up a second Boom for surround sound, I give the UE Boom 5 stars. I have purchased other speakers in the past, but none were this good. I will say that the only ones I did purchase were cheap ones. Before purchasing this one, I purchased a JBL Flip 2. I used to listen one at work all the time, and didn't want to splurge and get the UE. Well I broke down and ended up getting the UE Boom. This speaker can really kick. Now the base isn't so great, but it does still have an amazing sound. The battery life was another important thing to me and this holds a 15 hour battery. THIS DOES LAST! I haven't charged it in over a month and I've only been using it for light use (getting ready in the morning, cleaning the house). and it still has a 50% battery life. The range is about 50 feet for connected bluetooth devices, but can change due to walls, microwaves, etc... One of my favorite features is the clip that comes with it and can be installed on the top of the speaker. I hooked a D clip to it, and now can attach it to anything. It does does have an aux port and it does require that you use the UE Boom micro USB that comes with it, to charge it. If you think that you want to get the bigger UE Mega Boom. I will tell you it is just as light weight., has a 20 hour battery life, the range is 100 feet for connected devices, and the sound is much bigger. A little over kill for my use.

Was looking for a Bluetooth wireless speaker to use in the golf cart and at home. The EA Boom fits perfectly in a cup holder and the sound is outstanding. I did not know of this product prior to going into the store and was blown away at how much better it sounded than the others and at the same price. The pairing was a snap and the battery lasts for 10 to 12 hours. I've had several of my friends buy the EA Boom after hearing mine. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in a Bluetooth wireless speaker.

Stood in best buy looking at the large bunch of choices and a helpful guy in a blue shirt recommended this. I was going for the much more expensive choice but after hearing about them all pros and cons I bought this one. Works great takes up no space, battery lasts a long time. I use it while cooking in the kitchen or on the patio. Easy to set up easy to use and all my music is at my fingertips.

This is the best portable Bluetooth speaker you can buy for under $200. The best sound, battery, and design I've experienced. It's even water resistant. Download the app for easy customization. Connect to your computer for firmware updates. Even the charger is high quality. This speaker can also be linked other UE Booms or MegaBooms. I have charged it once since Christmas and use it every day. The battery life is extraordinary. Don't buy the Pill or Jambox. UE should be your next speaker.

purchased for my son in college, he loves it, sound is great, very portable, battery stays charged for a long time

I initially purchased the UE Boom to take around the house and to the beach. This speaker, for the price point, is one of the better sounding speakers and its pretty rugged, so hopefully should last for some time. As a matter of fact, it was so good, I decided to purchase a second one to use the Double Up feature where you can connect to two UE's and listen to them in stereo, sounds amazing and would recommend to anyone looking for a decent Bluetooth portable speaker.

Great for traveling and for any outdoor person. Easy to pack, durable, waterproof, long battery life, and great sound.

You will be blown away by the power of this speaker. It is very portable and drivers great sound at a great price

Sound is good, which is most important. The flexibility of configuration (like being able to double up) and durable feel (life proof) are also both great. I've paired it with many devices and it's always been both fast and easy. What keeps it from being 5 stars is just one button. Now that I've had it for several weeks I find I carry the speaker around with me but often leave my phone on its charger. When a call comes in I can't answer from the speaker, nor can I pause or restart the current track without getting back to the phone. This is nothing that would keep me from buying it again, but if it just had that one button which would do those tasks (just like my BT ear buds) it would be a perfect product.

We bought this speaker for our vacation. It was amazing. Great sound. Easy to use and convenient to take anywhere.

I've purchased this speaker over 20 times. Gifts for my employees. Every single recipient has loved it. This speaker delivers great sound quality, is super easy to connect to from any device with Bluetooth, carries its charge for a very long time, snd its shape is conducive for sitting on a mantel, hanging or countertop.

I bought this Bluetooth speaker because I wanted something small and portable, but I didn't want to sacrifice sound quality. For such a small speaker, I am very pleased with the sound it produces. I also like the iPhone app that I can use to control the sound settings and the speaker can play music for hours on 1 charge.

Worth every penny. Great sound and volume without distortion. Long lasting battery life. Extremely portable and durable.

The UE Boom is awesome! Great sound quality! Easily carried. We have used it at the beach, the lake, in the house, by the pool. The 360 degrees of speaker make it easily heard from wherever you choose to place it. While we were at the beach, people didn't want us to leave because they enjoyed listening to our music! My sister and her family loved it so much while they were on vacation with us, they went and bought one themselves to use mostly in their backyard/pool. Best purchase!

I love my UE Boom and found that the only thing better than the UE Boom is the UE Boom 2. I returned this product and later purchased the 2nd model for some of the new features. However, there was nothing wrong with the UE Boom. I just can't write enough good things about this little speaker. Don't let the size fool you. I listen to it every day. The battery lasts long, the sound is great, is durable and lightweight, it's simply the best!

I sampled all the Bluetooth speakers in stock at my local store and this one had the fullest sound and functionality for the price and size. It's water resistant so you can use it pretty much anywhere, and the round shape fits easily into a cup holder or backpack bottle holder. It's small enough to be portable, but large enough to be sturdy and project a full sound. It has a long battery life and easily connected to our phones and iPads. I use it daily and love it.
