Customer Ratings & Reviews

This speaker has great sound, long battery life and is easy to set up and use.

The sound is great and I love to sync both of ours together. The only complaint I have is tapping the top twice to change the song does not always work. We toss it around to our kids, we have gotten it wet, and it doesn't vibrate and fall off counters like our jawbone did!

The speaker sounds great. I would give it the slight advantage over my Altec Lansing Mini Life Jacket 3 as far as the quality of sound goes. The speaker looks great. The black and red colors go very well together. It's waterproof, which is a huge plus because you can use it to listen to music while in the shower. There are a lot of things to love about the speaker. So, you may be wondering why I am only giving it 3 stars and not 5. The reason is the same reason why I ultimately decided to return the speaker for a refund. The reason is the tap controls. In order to stop a song from playing or skip to the next song, you have to tap the top of the speaker (once for stop, twice for skip). There are no actual buttons for these functions. Now, this doesn't seem like a big deal, until you actually attempt to do it. It's a complete mess. Half of the time, it reads 2 taps (skip) as 1 tap (stop) and your music just stops playing instead of going to the next song. I need to mention that the button that turns the speaker off is also on the top of the speaker. So, half of the time when you tap the speaker once to stop a song from playing, it turns the speaker off entirely because it thinks you are hitting the power button. Not to mention the fact that in order to get the tap controls to work at all, you don't just have to lightly tap the speaker, you have to hit it, hard. If you tap it gently the way that they show in the UE commercials, half of the time nothing happens at all. It's frustrating beyond belief, especially for someone like me who likes to change songs frequently. Another frustrating thing about the speaker is that there is absolutely no way to skip backward to the previous song. You can skip forward to the next song, but you cannot skip backward to the previous song. Or replay a song. This is extremely annoying and frustrating for me, especially coming from using the Altec Lansing Mini Life Jacket 3, which can do all of these things with ease. Having used that speaker, I know that it's very possible to just put skip forward, skip backward, play, pause, and on/off functionality and still only have 3 buttons on the speaker. That speaker has all of these features and only has 3 buttons (the same amount of buttons that the UE Boom 2 has), so I am baffled as to why UE didn't put the same functionality in their buttons. Overall, it is a good speaker as far as sound quality and aesthetics go, but it does not measure up to other speakers as far as controls go. Unfortunately, that area impacts the listening experience a lot and is a deal breaker for me. Overall, I cannot recommend this speaker.

The sound from this device is amazing. I bought it to stuff in my pants and make a buldge that would impress women. But when the music came on I came off.

This review is the complete truth. Full device volume combined with full speaker volume makes this speaker one of the loudest in its category and price range. You will not be disappointed. The UE Boom 2 does definitely boom. After testing with a bass heavy hip hop song, I was very impressed. This speaker is well worth the expense if you need a loud and bass-oriented speaker.

Looks good and importantly very sound good. Reasonable volume with natural sound. Straightforward to pair and battery life is good. My coworkers are amazed with it too!

Used this Bluetooth speaker at a summer daycamp in a large pick nick area. Excellent volume & clarity for the whole group. Played this speaker using Spotify from my Smartphone. Battery life = 15 hours. USB recharges to 100 % in about 1.5 hours. One day the speaker was hit while kids were kicking a soccer all. It cleaned up easily & continued working without any issues.

Was very easy to set up (download the app). Once set up, the connection to devices was quick. Love the sound quality and the waterproofing. Great speaker

I bought one for my wife we liked it so much I bought one for myself. i just bought two more ( deal of the day) can’t beat it We use them all the time

bad: no bass sound at all. only gets connect thru app. sound clear inside only. goods: can connect up to 150 UE speakers 3 BT memory 2 bt devices at the same time picking music. battery life 15 hrs.

This speaker is very room filling, true 360 degrees of sound. It also has the ability to pair multiple speakers to it to create a party type atmosphere.

Easy setup, great sound quality, and long battery life.

The sound is great and the design is perfect. Battery is better than the first version.

Perfect speaker for just chilling out at the house or better yet a party! I have 3 of them and pair them all up and it sounds awesome around the house!

I've had mine for about a year and the quality of sound is still perfect, I've taken it into the shower, to parties, and to work where it gets covered in dust, everything still works great, tge bluetooth has good range on it also . and you can pair them with other UE Boom speakers for a surround system type feel, it's amazing. Best speaker I've ever owned

Purchased as a second speaker to go with my original Boom 1. Both work together in different parts of the house to create sound throughout the house.

Amazing sound, great portability & sleek design. A bit pricey but worth the value!

Bestbuy has an exclusive indigo color and it's great in a Prince kind of way. The speaker is loud and the clarity and treble is first rate. The bass is ok but not great get the mega boom if that is your priority but the light portable form factor of the boom is great if you just want to drop this in a cup holder while golfing and other activities like camping add a caribeneer and your set.

Easy to set up and it's pretty loud. For the price and quality, it's a good deal.

Amazing Bluetooth speaker on the go! I was looking for one for a while and I didn’t know which one to get but I ended up getting this one because it I like how great the sound quality is and the bass is also great. Plus you get to connect multiple speaker of the same brand if you decide to buy another one. Fast, simple to connect and the app is also easy to use.
