Customer Ratings & Reviews

Didn't like the fact that you couldn't try out at store on own device using Bluetooth to the kind of music I listen to. Great if you like a lot of bass! Don't care where the plug attaches to unless you hang it up in the air otherwise you have to turn it upside down or lay it on it's side. Very easy to setup and you can connect another one up to it.

This is a great little speaker doesn't take up much space at all but puts out a great sound SN: when u first turn on your speaker you have to do a software update that is found at http://www.ultimateears.com/en-us/boom/support

Recommend this with my see close love it it's boom

I love this product it very good .. it have a great suonds..

I boight it on the 16th of April and it was on sale cause the boom 2 is out and I got mine for $70 and was a great Deal instead of paying $200

I had been looking for a good wireless Bluetooth speaker for years! After reading multiple reviews and best ranking lists I finally decided on this one and I was in luck it was on sale, $30 off! It was one of the best tech decisions I've ever made. The sound is great, the speakers are easily portable but can really pack a punch. They transition easily from a small room to filling the beach with music, over the sound of crashing waves, I was both surprised and highly impressed. They are very easy to use, even for those who aren't tech savvy. They pair quickly the first time and every time. I bought two and doubling up (as UE calls it) is simple, just pair them once then turn them on over and over for flawless operation. I think the best selling point, and you won't know this till you buy it, is the battery life. Mine are WAY exceeding the 15 hours stated. I assume the 15 hours is at max volume, but at a reasonable volume I was able to use the speakers for 16 hours and they only discharged 20%! My only complaint about these speakers is the price, even on sale for $170/each they are a bit pricey, let alone the regular price tag of $200. I still think they are highly worth it, if you can afford them. Otherwise you may want to look at the mini boom for $100/each. I heard the mini boom for the first time last night, someone brought one out on the beach and it was packing the same punch as it's big brother. I can't speak to the rest of its features but the sound quality and the volume were pretty impressive. Overall, I highly recommend the UE boom, I really don't think you'll regret buying it. In fact I recommend buying two and doubling them up for double the sound or just as everyday speakers for around the house. If you can get them on sale, even better!

I'm feeling the beats with my new UE-Boom Wireless Bluetooth Speaker! Sounds just like I thought it would with that heavy bass when needed that I like to hear and feel when zoned out listening to my assorted music picks! So colorful and small enough to carry around in it's case along with a long battery life! It's awesome! Easy to use with the downloaded App feature too! I love my new boom tube!

This speaker is AWESOME! Its loud enough for my room, and I blast it anywhere in the house and can easily and clearly hear the bass and lyrics. There's no problem with the Bluetooth connectivity either. It's small and fits in my purse as well! I took it canoeing and it got soaked, but the sound quality has not changed! I definitely don't regret purchasing this speaker!

We've purchased beats & JBL speaker, the UE speakers are far superior in sound quality, volume, bass, & durability. It's waterproof! We have the boom and megaboom and LOVE them! Easily synced together with their free app, and can also alter other music features within the app. Has great customer service, will definitely purchase again!

Well since its a Xmas Present for my wife I havent heard it for myself yet but EVERY review I read and believe me I research the heck out of everything I buy, was absoluley amazing. Ive been looking for a upgrade to BT apeaker and this is the one for me. 360• surround sound, 15hrs battery life, water proof, 50ft range , cant go wrong ..... BUY IT and try to find it for the sale price of 99$ if you can! May the force be with you !!

Pros: excellent sounding speaker, loud, long lasting battery, great designs, easy to use Cons: no controls for music for example pause, play, skip, previous, can only control volume, off and on. Overall I like the speaker, it serves it's purpose, great style, weather proof, you can connect two at the same time but the fact that you cannot control your music from it prevents me from rating it higher.

I sampled a number of wireless speakers, and the Boom had the best sound plus the best uninterrupted connectivity to my devices (laptop, smartphone). I'm able to tote the speaker around to most of the rooms in my home that are on the same floor as device, and it stays connected - even through most of the walls. I can also put the speaker in my bathroom and not worry about steam affecting it. Compared to other speakers in its price range, the sound is very good - and it gets nice and loud without terrible distortion (though you do lose some bass when you crank it). Finally, I feel like I can carry this speaker around without worrying about breaking it.

Bought the UE Boom on sale during Black Friday. At its original price it is a great product but it has stiff competition. For less than 100 USD it is a no-brainer. The speaker feels and looks premium in quality. It is beautiful and draws attention to itself. Pros 1. The audio is great when listening to music as it produces Mono sound. When watching a movie it is good but not great. 2. The Bluetooth range is excellent and audio tracks sounds good over Bluetooth as though the speaker is connected with wires to my Samsung tablet and Nexus 5 smartphone. 3. The battery in speaker charges in quick time and easily lasts several days without recharge. 4. The Boom is very loud. It can easily fill a room with pleasant audio. No matter how high the volume it is able to handle the audio with minimal distortion at Max volume. 5. The UE App allows major customization in how the speaker operates. My friends like Bass so when I am playing music for them I select Bass mode. When I am home I set it to standard. I can disable the speaker setting for notification sounds among other things. The Boom has some minor quirks. 1. When your phone is linked via Bluetooth, the Boom is not good as a hands free device when making and receiving calls as it doesn't have a microphone. 2. The speaker is not stable on its side and is prone to rolling. I like my speaker upright so this is not an issue for me. 3. You have to be careful where you place the speaker because the rubber at top and bottom over time may end up rubbing down if consistently placed on Hard Rough surfaces. If you need stereo sound this speaker is not for you unless you plan to buy a pair of them and sync/link them using the UE app. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. Best Buy processed and ensured my product was delivered in quick time. I would buy another UE Boom.

Small, loud and great sound. The app is also great, turn on/off wireless, battery last all party, splash water prof, make it for outdoors a good choice.

I'm a huge fan of listening to music and this device makes it easy to take my tunes everywhere! The sound quality is amazing and its has a great range of volume. I work in a very noisy kitchen and have never had to max the volume on it to hear it over the din. It connects easily which is great for the technologically challenged like me and I love that you only have to stop what you are playing in order to let someone else play from their phone to the devise. A friend has a Bose bluetooth speaker and she has to physically disconnect her phone from the bluetooth before the devise will allow another user to connect to it, so glad that the UE Boom doesn't operate with that same annoyance. It's size, weight, and shape makes it easy to just throw into my purse to take with me anywhere and my friends have all come to expect that I'll have it with me. I've taken it on vacation and listened to it at the beach, at pool parties, riding in a golf cart, on a boat, doing yard work, and the list goes on. Great companion for any music lover who wants great sound where ever they are. Oh, and one last thing, the battery life on it great too! I've used it for entire 8 hour shifts and haven't needed to charge it at all durning those shifts if it was at 100% battery life when I started using it.

Excellent Bluetooth range, 12 hr battery, 360 degree sound, easy to switch Bluetooth to another device, great portability, solid design.

I have had many different Bluetooth speakers. The UE is my favorite so far. I love the size. The battery life is really good. The app is nice. I don't get any distortion. The Bluetooth hook up was really quick and easy. I'm not trying to fill an auditorium and this has plenty of sound for a room in the house a a room when we are traveling. I use it in our camper also. The bass response is good for this size speaker. Generally speaking the sound is nice and balanced I don't expect it to sound like my living room.

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.

I absolutely love these speakers. I was thinking about buying them for a couple of months prior to when I actually bought them. I read many reviews and after my co-worker bought 2 of them and had them playing from his backpack while we were out surveying for our job; I knew I had to buy some too. I was so impressed with the sound. They have amazing sound quality and can get surprisingly loud! I bought two of them so they can pair to each other. Sometimes I use them together or sometimes I use them individually. The sound system went out in my boyfriends car so we put one of them on the dash and blue toothed our phone to it as a temporary fix. It sounded so good he kept going to turn down the sound on his deck and would start spinning the dial and realized that it wasn't coming from his car speakers. We have also used them outside for parties. We use them in the shower and just set them on the sink. We use them in the shop when my boyfriend is working on his truck. We take them with us when we stay at a hotel making our stay that much more enjoyable! We also have take them hiking with us and put them in the water bottle pouch of our backpacks and it works amazingly! The battery life is good. Make sure you charge them after every use because you never know how full they are and you hate when they die and you aren't in a situation that you can charge them in. SO happy I made this purchase.
