Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like these speakers for outside but not as impressive when indoors. Great sound and excellent range but it’s missing the bass you will get from Sony or Bose. Don’t get me wrong, these little speakers rock in the right setting but I prefer more meaty sound when I’m home.

I had smaller speakers always coming short on sound. This one is def. better on sound and I like how it feels in my hand. It’s still not loud enough for that price. But it’s def better than the shorter ones, I can hear it well from other rooms which was a problem before.

Bought this speaker at Best Buy, had the young man at the Geek Squad desk pair it to my iPhone which took him only a few minutes. Used this outside for a patio party. Good sound and volume. My friends were impressed. We're all older and they thought it was cool that i was playing music wirelessly through my iPhone to these speakers.

It’s waterproof, sandproof, cute, loud, and battery lasts forever. It’s a must have.

Awesome sound especially when you pair 2 speakers.

amazing product, very portable, the sound is great, waterproof, excellent for the beach.

This speaker is crisp clear and loud. Very good speaker for outdoor cookouts and events. Wouldn't trade it for any other speaker.

I'm pretty much a sucker for any Bluetooth speakers and had to try these. What makes them one of my favorites is the ability to sync multiple speakers together. Works great in the backyard covering opposite ends w/out having to blare them. Also- really cool when I recently took 2 golfing in carts. Both carts had the same tunes rather than rivaling eachother.

Great sound. Sounds amazing, worth it !!! Has many many Features no other speaker has, best part is connecting multiple speakers together & enjoying one sound

Very loud and durable. Does not have the great full range sound, but it does sound good. Battery last a long time. Like being able to connect more than one speaker at a time.

Almost 2 years with this little bluetooth speaker and still very happy with its quality. I use it at work, when I'm outside on the porch, at the beach, etc. There's not many places I go where I don't take this speaker. It is loud, clear and has some nice pairing features (although I haven't tried out the multiple speakers feature yet). I have really enjoyed this speaker and would buy it again.

The quality of the speaker for the price that I paid is awesome. Well worth the money. The portable speaker sounds great! Fast shipping to Hawai‘i & FREE!

For a speaker this size you can’t ask for better sound quality. The bass is deep but not overwhelming with clear high notes. It has the ability to link to other UE speakers to give you true stereo sound so buy them for each room and use separate or bring them together for a party they sound excellent either way.

This is one of the hardest working little speakers I have ever owned. I just bought another for my 13 year old son. They pair up easily to our phones and generate reasonable impressive sound for their size. My son just put his to the test this weekend while pressure washing a muddy 4 wheeler. Although the speaker was a little too close to the line of action, it still works great despite being covered in mud.

Clear music, loud, great bass, far range! Will buy another 1 to pair up in my yard!

I bought this after spending much more on a Bose SoundLink Mini since it was on sale at a really great price. It was a tough comparison, but in the end, I wound up returning it simply because I liked the Bose sound slightly better. I'd still recommend this to anyone that wants to save a bit of money vs the Bose, or really wants something that is a bit more rugged and/or water resistant.

I did quite a bit of research into different bluetooth speakers that had great battery life, were decently water-resistant and had good audio quality. After hours of looking into Bose, and Sony, I finally looked into the UE Boom 2 and could not be happier. Fantastic 15 hour battery life, easy pairing for phones and great audio quality and clarity for under $200 makes this a fantastic purchase.

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.

This speaker is amazing! I've heard every UE boom extensively. I have the original UE boom as well. Great Battery life! Much louder than original boom. A recent update came out where you can link 50+ speakers. This great as many of my friends have UE booms. The app makes it much easier to link, then on its own. Only downside is there is a specific app for each speaker, megaboom, ue boom 2, and ue boom.

Sounds great and is very portable. I use it mostly indoors but had it in the backyard and cranked up pretty loud. Still sounded great and was able to hear it for a good distance.
