Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s pretty good for the price that you pay for it

Needed something portable for outside. I am not disappointed

I enjoy the ue boom. This is my third speaker. Recommend

Great Product! Works perfectly!! It does exactly what I need

Bought form my Grandsons, age 18 & 14, they love them

If you want a very loud speaker and waterproof, this is it. It is portable, good sound quality and comes with Alexa. It is easy to setup too, I have no problem using with my moto Z play android phone. Just install the Ultimate Ear app and Alexa app and follow instruction. No problem with wifi connection. It will be the perfect speaker if it has easier way to charge as now you have to place it upside down and peel open the rubber door to expose the micro usb port. Also it is lacking in bass, maybe a plus if you listen to audio book. There is no way to find out the battery level, the app only say partially charged. But I can overlook those because it is a loud portable good sound quality speaker.

For the size, it sounds great and great quality as well

High quality speaker! Sounds amazing inside & outdoors

fantastic wireless speaker love the extra and alexa

I own an Echo Dot, which I love, but it's awful for listening to music. I was after something that pumped out better sound, but could also survive being used as a portable speaker on the go that also looked fun. The Ultimate Ears BLAST fits the bill. WiFi setup/connecting to the Amazon Alexa app was straight forward and with Amazon Music ready to play - well I was blown away by the quality sound. True bass and music you can enjoy (no more FM radio sounding dot for me). The Ultimate Ears BLAST with Alexa definitely fills the room. As a bluetooth speaker, the Ultimate Ears BLAST is equally as good and battery power doesn't diminish the ability to blast (pun intended) the room with music. As an Alexa device, I'm a basic Alexa user (music, weather, news) and everything worked as well as it does with my Echo Dot. Recommended.

This UE Blast speaker is Wireless/Bluetooth. It has 360 degree sound output comparable to other more expensive competitors But also Includes Alexa Voice in which you can not only control the speaker itself, but also incorporate/control some of your other smart home devices as well. It is Also Waterproof. So bring it to the pool or take it on the boat or camping at the rivers edge. It states it will last up to 12 hours on a single charge and I do believe that since I ran it 5 hours straight without it wavering a bit. It also sounds great to me but the sound will change (just like any other speaker) depending on size of room, furnishings etc....But still sounded great in any room I carried it to. I really think this speaker, like I said is comparable to other more expensive units and it is worth a look for sure

Sound is ok. Sometimes crackles. Alexa was the draw however it doesn’t do all the features such as “announce” which we use a lot around the house.

Bought as I was told it floated. Come home and just sinks to bottom. Music sound is good but speaker is heavy

It has some glitches. It stops playing randomly; but when it does work , it has great sound quality.

I started with the boom 4 hrs of playtime. A friend said I should get the blast says has 20 hrs of playtime didn't happen only an hour more (5hr)

I got this little speaker with hopes of it producing great sound that I could carry around with me anywhere. The whole Alexa thing was a bonus since I've been wanting an Alexa device as well. This speaker met every expectation I had and more! First off, as a designer,I loved the package design. It was very well done. Second, the set up was so easy and simple, I did it in less than 5 minutes. You download the app, turn it out and it immediately recognizes the speaker. Set up the wifi and bluetooth and you're ready to go! I also downloaded the Alexa app. The sound that comes from the speaker is awesome. The range of volume is really nice. It can get very loud or at a nice quite volume. I like that it's waterproof for more than just rain drops hitting it. You can literally submerge it in water and it'll be okay. Big plus for me and my accident prone self. All in all, I love it. I got an Alexa device AND a great portable speaker!

Not as durable as they say we used it for weekends at the ball feild. One speaker blew and became very distorted for the whole speaker.

This speaker is the little brother of the mega boom. It still packs a punch. The battery lasts about 8 hours making it a great portable speaker for the beach, camping or a picinic. the alexa integration is excellent the microphone seem to perform better than my echo dot understanding my commands, As for the sound this moderatletly sized speaker has a great range. If you ar realliny looking for deep base look at this companys Mega Boom line for all other music you will be well satisfied. The speaker comes in several colors to fit any taste. This speaker can stream from the internet on its own or connect by bluetooth to any source. Overall this is a great choice for a portable speaker.

Good sound but beware it cannot pair with other UE speakers. Go with the UE BOOM instead.

This Blast speaker is a good everyday take with you Bluetooth speaker for casual listening and added sound for movie streaming, but it left me wanting more overall. The initial setup was a little frustrating because you have to download the app before you can connect the speaker. The Alexa feature is a bit underwhelming because she does not pick up my voice very well and it feels like I have to yell to get a response sometimes. I listen to Pandora as one of my feature music apps and connected it thru the Alexa app for this speaker. Every time I asked Alexa to play one of my radio stations, it acted as if it was going to start playing, but then every time would respond with "I am having trouble playing that station for you". Maybe there is an update that will fix the issues with the Alexa app, but for now I am just using the Bluetooth feature to play music and connect to my laptop for streammg movies. For the size of the speaker I was expecting a lot more power with a full dynamic range. It does have full sound but seems to lack on the deep rich lows, mids and highs are great. The 360 degree profile I think only refers to the design of the speaker body, because if you listen closely while rotating the speaker, you can hear the change in sound from the different drivers built into the speaker. I have experienced several drop signals while using the Bluetooth which is kind of frustrating. I will be playing music and then ask Alexa to turn volume up or down, then the music would stop and not start playing again. I would have to disconnect the speaker and reconnect it. I love the look and feel of the speaker and really love that it is waterproof. It is the perfect companion for the shower and medley of songs. I can comfortably take this speaker in the shower or to the pool without the stress of worrying about it getting wet. Overall, this is a decent Bluetooth speaker but still needs a little work to iron out all the quirks with the wifi and Alexa. I have not used the multi connection with other UE speakers because I have no one with one to try it out. But I'm sure that would be really cool to share music and make a surround sound party at the beach or pool.
