Customer Ratings & Reviews

Picked this little speaker up on release day and it did not disappoint. What a speaker, for the size of this thing it filled a large room perfectly. The sound quality was on point. Has a cool pendant type feature with lets you hang it anywhere and if you had an older car without a bluetooth/iPod connectivity radio, this would be perfect to use in there. Crisp, loud, fully waterproof, durable. What more could you want? Well worth the money. Only downside is that it doesn't have a mic like its big brother the UE Boom. BUT this is half the price.

It is louder than most it's size! Water proof, durable, and the cord allows you to attach it to your bag easily.

The UE is very easy to use. I like that it's portable and water resistant.

I love it and I use it everyday... One of the best purchases I have made.

Initial setup was easy & the sound quality is amazing, which I initially was hesitant about because of the size...which also makes it easy to keep with me. Great product!!

Purchased for our 21 foot fishing boat. No wires--Great music using bluetooth link to a smartphone and stored music files.

The UE Roll is a Bluetooth speaker you can listen to crisp sounds and loud bass music while going on hikes in the mountains, lounging at the beach, or even biking in any weather. It is waterproof. There are bungee type straps which you can hook your carabiner to your backpack. The volume controls are the plus and minus signs which is on the speaker so you don't need to adjust it on your phone. I think it's a great design. It's light weight, easy to clean, waterproof, and user friendly. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Needed a rugged life proof speaker with good sound. Didn't want anything bulky or big. It's perfect when I go mountain biking. Fast connection! I turn it on and music starts playing right away. Big volume buttons but I mainly use my phone for volume. Sound is awesome! I have it hanging from the top of my backpack so sound is close to my head. It's crisp and clear. Lack BIG bass but I don't even notice it when riding on bumpy roads. I can hear the music loud and clear and that's all that matters. Battery lasts hours. Haven't had it die on me. I ride 2-3 hours. The loop in the back will defenenlty not hold when in motion but you can loop the loop around the speaker like a knot! Problem solved. Love my speaker! The app is useful too but you mainly need it for initial setup and equalizer settings. Definitely recommend this. Have yet to use two of them at the same time.

I needed a bluetooth (cordless) speaker to play prerecorded music on my Apple MacAir laptop when I'm on my patio behind our house. It is too cumbersome to carry everything I need in one trip down multiple stairs, i.e., 1. Apple MacAir Laptop, 2. a cool beverage, 3. snacks, etc., so I invested in the UE-Roll for my listening pleasure and convenience. Now I don't have to make multiple trips in and out of the house to get everything i needed for a cool, music filled evening in the great outdoors. In the past, I typically put first things first...1. a cool beverage and 2. the laptop ONLY because I only have only two hands and hate to climb multiple steps over and over again to get everything I need. Now, I can actually put the UE-Roll in my pocket if I desire or hang it from my belt loop while carrying both the laptop and a beverage in one trip or even leave the laptop indoors to transmit sound cordlessly to the UE-Roll and carry two essential items outside...i.e., two beverages or one beverage and a snack. The sound is great, the battery life is long, and the beverage remains not just cool like the music but cold. If for any reason I forget to bring in the speaker, I don't have to worry about it getting rained on and damaged. It's a real cool tool...seriously.

I use it with my iPhone 5 Pros: Great sound. Seems waterproof so far (I've used it in the shower/steam room and in the rain multiple times). iPhone app is simple and useful for sound control, volume level, and power on/off. Speaker has a nice feel to it (cloth front and soft rubberized back). Rechargable battery lasts much longer than the 9 hours I was expecting. Cons Sometimes have trouble getting the speaker to turn on/off using the button on the back of the unit. Sometimes the sound breaks up a bit if I have my iPhone in my pocket and walk 20 or so feet away (I think the range is supposed to be 60 or so feet but that must mean straight line of sight with no obstructions). Doesn't come with a wall plug for charging (only comes with a usb cable for charging). I use an iPhone usb/outlet block and plug the charging cable into that.

The sound quality is great, the size is small but yet produces a very loud surround sound, it's easy to charge and once charged lasts a very long time, it is also waterproof, and it also has a feature to hook a 3 mm cable to it.

I purchased this speaker during one of the sales at Best Buy. It was only about $50 and well worth this price. At the same time I also purchased a Bose Soundlink mini and will attempt to compare the two. The UE speaker is waterproof and has good clear sound. I was amazed the the simple shape and operation yielded good sound. The best feature is the hook (rope) which allows you to hand the speaker anywhere. I hang it in my car, on my kitchen cabinet handles, door handles, and all over the house. This makes the speaker so mobile. The sound is clear but not very loud due to the limitations in the case size. So I would classify the sound as impressive for the size but it does lack base which is understandable. Compared to the Bose which cost me more than $100 more the only difference is the Bose will play louder and have more base. More base is not necessarily better so you have to evaluate what type of music you will be playing on it. I end up leaving the Bose at home and leaving the UE in my car. They are really two different animals. For the $50 price its a no brainer. At the full price of $100 the field becomes more crowded but the portability and rugged aspects of this speaker cannot be beat. For my "road" speaker I prefer a speaker more rugged than having better fidelity. I did take out the Bose once and my daughter ended up damaging the front grill on the Bose. This is why I keep it at home. The best feature as I mentioned before is the rope which allows you to hang the speaker for anywhere. My daughter loves to hand it on her backpack and listen to music while hiking or on a walk. This speaker hanging on the outside of a backpack will sound better than the Bose which has to sit inside the backpack.

I use this thing playing volleyball outdoors (sand and grass) and wasn't sure it would be loud enough outside to be useful. It is way louder than I anticipated and rarely to I even have to turn the volume all the way up. It also seems very, very durable and I never mind just tossing it into my gym bag when I head to the courts. Battery life is great, I use it for long stretches of time and haven't had it die on me yet, probably have used it for about 5-6 hours at a time. The bungee cord on it is great too, I use it to hook it onto the volleyball net or posts, or sometimes will hang it in my canopy while we are on break. I would for sure buy this again.

I love my UE Roll! I purchased it as a summertime music source and it has exceeded my expectations. I had hampered expectations for a speaker this size: I figured volume, bass and sound would be decent at best but I was pleasantly surprised. This speaker is much louder and has better sound than any speaker of comparable size. Bass is not great but the quality of highs and mids more than make up for the lack of bass. Battery life is very good, I've gotten about 3 hours straight out of the speaker when blasting at full volume the entire time. Moderate volume has yielded me about 7 hours. Great speaker from a great producer, especially for the money!

With the limitations of trying to get a good sounding speaker that plays well with an iPhone , a trip to the display is required. Omlt the examples on display are all wired up to an external source. So we play them all and choose the best one for the $. The UE Roll made the cut. At home it will fill the house with great sound, long before distortion is noticed. It stays connected for two hours without further attention. Perfect for a streaming movie. Synching is trouble-free and the range is excellent .

The sound is great on this. It has a big sound that easily fills a room. It is very simple to use and we love that it is water proof and very durable. Also very portable.

This thing is loud, it's waterproof, it's small, so extremely portable. It is a great option and pairs with other he speakers to amplify your experience.

Got this wanting a speaker I could take on the beach. Speaker is waterproof and looks like it could take a beating, not that I want to test that out. It has excellent sound for most types of music, and the customizable equalizer in the app is very useful. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because on some acoustic music it tends to sound a bit tinny. After standing in the store for 20 minutes trying to make a decision, I believe I made the right one.

I really like this speaker. It isn't as loud as its big brother the UE Boom, but it is excellent for its size. And like their other products, quality is awesome, both in sound and build. I haven't had a chance to test its waterproof rating, but have no doubts. The bungee on the back of the speaker is an awesome addition to its design. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this or any of UEs speakers.

I bought this Bluetooth portable speaker to listen to music at the beach. Considering its petite size (size of a bread plate) it has fine sound fidelity, good battery life and excellent Bluetooth connectivity. It does exactly what I wanted it for. It is waterproof so I can rinse the sand off. Perfect for my purposes. Also, it looks cool. Not important but a nice plus.
