Clarity and sound was above and beyond my expectation love this thing

Speakers is excellent! Have a great balance and fits well qith my UE Boom lineup.

Ultimate Ears (UE) lives up to it`s namesake with the epicboom as it is most certainly a top notch portable speaker for listening. I go back and forth between my Sonos and UE products and for portability I always find myself reaching for my various boom products due to their ruggedness to which the epicboom fits that perfect niche for a larger outdoor speaker that is also portable at the same time. First, right out of the box the epicboom is similar in build quality and material to any other ultimate ears portable speaker you have previously used from the fabric mesh to the rubber base that provides both drop projection, but also grip when being placed on various surfaces. I do like the carrying strap they have added as it has come in handy from a portability standpoint and the fact that it has a magnet on the end to prevent it from flapping around is a subtle touch. Onto the actual performance of the speaker though. This thing really puts out!! I had high hopes coming from the Sonos Move and the epicboom fits its name and really puts out the sound. The bass seems to be much punchier with the epicboom than traditional UE speakers without sacrificing clarity and the 360 sound is such a great facet of these speakers. Additionally, the outdoor boost button is a great feature as I`m not sure exactly how UE did it, but the sound seems to radiate further out when this feature is toggled on. Then the ability to "PartyUp" and connect with my other UE speakers was such a great addition to the UE lineup that this speaker only helps expand on it as having three UE speakers setup around the house outside all playing the same thing in sync is such a great feature. Two other things I have to touch on are the battery life as the advertised 17 hours actually does appear to hold true and the addition of the usb-c charging versus the old micro-usb charging standard is a huge plus! Also, the ruggedness and water proof elements really set this apart from the Sonos Move in my opinion as I have taken this out on the lake multiple times and have zero worries about accidently dropping it in the water or dropping it on the boat and breaking it as you can tell UE has taken these facets into great detail, as with their entire lineup of speakers. Overall, I really don`t know what else you could ask for in a bluetooth speaker that hasn`t been included here. From the aesthetics and build quality to the performance and features everything is top notch and eloquently merged together with this speaker. I would definitely recommend this portable bluetooth speaker for nearly every use case.

Purchased for a vacation to use poolside. Awesome sound and had no concerns using it around water.

Very good portable speaker. I got two of them to pair.

It does have a good sound BUT it has a seriuous app issue. It turns up the volume by itself and you hace you hace to keep lowering it down until you have to turn it off. It happens on my iphone 12 and my husband’s iphone 14 too. We can’t control it once it starts raising the volume to the max and you end up turning the speaker off.

Great sound worth every penny sounds like to mega booms and thats exactly what I needed

Good and as expected with all new updates and type c charging

Ive had 5or 6 different UE speakers they all rock including this on

UE is known for producing good-sounding speakers and the Epicboom continues this tradition. The Epicboom sits right behind their Hyberboom speaker. The Epicboom is an excellent choice for those looking for a speaker that is still portable enough to be carried to most places but can also bring some life into the party with some nice-sounding beats. With a strong battery life and IP67 rating, it’s ready for most environments whether it’s a sunny day or getting caught in a sudden downpour. If you drop it no worries it’s also built tough enough to survive a drop from 3 feet. As far as sound quality goes it’s very good. UE has always been known for their clear sharp sharp-sounding speakers and what the Epicboom brings to the tables it’s not only louder but the bass is much more robust compared to their Megaboom 3, Boom 3, and Wonder-Boom 3 speakers. The Hyperboom it’s the loudest out of their lineup but it’s also the least portable one too. There’s also an outdoor mode that will make it sound louder but you will sacrifice some bass. The UE app allows you to choose from 4 sound profiles and create your own sound profile by adjusting the bass, mid, and treble. Out of the box, it comes enabled with adaptive EQ. It uses built-in mics to analyze the sound and make adjustments based on the environment. For the most part, I left it like this since it sounded good with different genres of music like EDM, Hip-Hop, Rock, and Spanish music too. For the UE app besides allowing you to adjust the EQ settings, you can also perform updates, and enable the outdoor mode. You also have the ability to turn off the speaker and view current battery life. The Epicboom can be pricey but you know what you get with an UE product. You get amazing build quality, and sound quality, that is backed by a 2-year warranty. It’s a solid product that in my opinion it’s well worth it.

Freaken amazing!! Totally worth! Must buy! I totally recommend.

Amazing amazing amazing perfect wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

The Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is a a great speaker. Following are my observations after testing it out: - The speaker comes with a simple, intuitive set of instructions. Getting started was very easy. The speaker easily paired with my iPhone to allow me to start using it immediately. All necessary controls to operate it without an App are provided on the top of the unit. - You can also download the Ultimate Ears App to provide some advance features, such as one-touch access to your playlists, an Equalizer, access to Party Up mode, Outdoor Boost button, volume control, power on/off, an alarm, turning on/off the speaker tones, etc. While some of these controls are also on the speaker, the App gives you access to these controls also, to eliminate the need to touch the speaker. - The Outdoor Boost optimizes the speaker settings for outdoor use. I tried it out in my yard, and this did provide better sound that just turning up the volume. - I love the 5-band adaptive equalizer. It lets you pick from 5 preprogrammed options - Signature Sound, Bass Boost, Game/Cinema, Deep Relaxation, and Podcast/Vocal, but it also lets you set your own custom options and name/save them for future use. This is a great feature to allow you to customize the sound to your preference and optimize the sound for whatever you are listening to. - There is a feature called the Magic Button, which after easily adding playlists from your phone or services like Amazon Music or Apple Music, allows you to play, pause and skip tracks with that button. - It has an IP67 rating for protection against dust, dirt, sand and water. It can be under water for up to 30 minutes without damage. This is a nice feature when using outdoors to prevent damage from the elements. - The speaker operates for up to 17 hours on a full charge. - There is a Party Up mode that allows you to sync to multiple speakers at the same time. - It comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable for charging. You'll need to make sure you have a USB-C charging block to use with the cable. New iPhones have the USB-C block and most laptops have a USB-C option. - The Bluetooth range is up to 180 feet, which is a long distance for a portable speaker and comes in very handy outside. - The speaker has 360 degree spatial awareness, which allows it to read the room you have it set up in and adjusts the sound based on the room or whether it is indoors or outdoors. I like the 360 degree feature of this speaker. Instead of only having speakers that fire forward, it literally provides the same quality of sound at any point around the entire speaker, so it is easy to hear for everyone, no matter where you are sitting around it. - It comes with a handy carrying strap that is attached but out of the way when not using it. The speaker itself is a nice looking speaker and it feels like it is a quality piece of technology. - As you can tell, this speaker has a lot of features, but the most important thing of all is that it has great sound! I tested it out with a variety of music genres, loud, soft, male & female voices, acoustic and hard rock, spoken word, etc. It performed great with everything I tested on it. It provides a surprising amount of bass punch for this size of speaker. Everything I played was clear and non-distorted. The Outdoor Boost feature enhanced the sound while testing it outdoors. As mentioned, the equalizer allows you to customize the sound to your preference for anything you listen to. Even with the default signature sound, it sounds great with anything I've played on it. I am really enjoying my new EPICBOOM speaker and highly recommend it!

The Logitech Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM is a fantastic portable speaker that produces great sound quality whether I used it indoors or outdoors. It was very quick to get it out of the box and into use. The box contained the speaker, the USB-C charging cable, and the quick start guide. It has a recognizable look, with the yellow large volume up and volume down buttons on the front of the dark gray speaker body. The speaker is about 6.25 inches by 4.5 inches by 9.5 inches, and weighs close to 4.5 pounds. It feels very durable, and claims to be drop-tested from falls of 3 ft. I can verify that it does float, and has a IP67 rating which means it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes and still work. It charges via the USB-C cable connecting to a charging port on the back of the speaker, and a full charge lasted me 15 hours. The speaker contains two 45mm drivers and one 120mm woofer that deliver sound in 360 degrees. I was able to connect via NFC on my Android phone but I would think most users will connect with Bluetooth. It has the capability to connect to 2 devices at the same time. I could connect with it at least 100 feet away with no sound loss, and the box states it will connect as far away as 180 ft. I mainly used it outside and there is a unique feature where I could push the outdoor boost button on top and it raises the volume slightly. I thought the sound quality out of the box was perfect for a portable speaker. The bass is usually underwhelming with portable speakers because the woofers are small and weak, but the EPICBOOM had bass that I could feel from some distance, even outside which was a pleasant surprise. The clarity is remarkable, and it will adjust the EQ automatically for the best output based on internal mics. There is the BOOM app which can be downloaded onto your phone, and from there the EQ can be customized as you desire. I don't have another Ultimate Ears speaker, but if you do they will all connect to each other for a multi-speaker setup. I used it in a pool environment and it worked wonderfully. It is unobtrusive but produces powerful sound that can be clearly heard over common noises. Indoor use was even better. Streaming music from YouTube produced crisp, clear audio that can adjusted suitably for a small room or to be heard at the other end of the house while doing some cleaning. I was impressed with the Logitech Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM, and I recommend it for any portable speaker use, whether outdoors or indoors.

I already have and I’m very happy with Sonos Roam speakers. I use them regularly, paired with my phone via Wi-Fi, primarily on my outdoor patio. However, I’m not a fan of switching them to Bluetooth function and pairing them when I travel beyond my home. So, when I got the Logitech Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM I was primarily interested in using it as a travel/outdoors speaker for easy Bluetooth pairing to my phone, and my family members’ and friends’ phones. I’m happy to report that it took me only a few minutes to unpack and pair the EPICBOOM. When I cranked up the volume I was surprised how loud it was… dramatically more than my Sonos Roams! Even though the bass is dramatic, there’s very little distortion. Overall, the sound quality is fantastic. Also, I really love the huge physical volume up/plus and down/minus buttons on the front of the EPICBOOM… they make it easy to control the speaker. I’ve tested the Bluetooth range in 2 ways. First, with the EPICBOOM on my patio I went inside the house and the connection was fine until about 50-60 feet, but that is through brick walls and on a different floor. Outside without obstructions the range I achieved is approximately 100 feet before the signal becomes choppy (it continues beyond this range in choppy form until it entirely stops). This range is much better than my other Bluetooth devices, but not quite as long as the theoretical limit. A feature new for me is the EPICBOOM’s Bluetooth standby feature enabled from the phone app. This allows you to turn on the speaker from the phone, a very nice convenience. The battery life is outstanding. My experience is that there’s less than a 5% (you can monitor battery level via the phone app) reduction in battery level for each hour I’ve used the EPICBOOM. The only major feature I haven’t tried is the speaker’s water resistance. Apparently, the EPICBOOM is not only water resistant, it also floats! The EPICBOOM is a great wireless speaker that I strongly recommend.

Pretty nice speaker crispy loud, but i feel like the battery life should be longer

If you're looking for great sound quality in a portable speaker, the Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM wireless bluetooth speaker is a great choice. Just don't think that you're going to be carrying it around in a backpack all day. The speaker comes attractively packaged in a sturdy box with a USB-C cable for charging (charger not included). My first impression is that the speaker is rather heavy for a portable device. And it's large enough that I don't feel comfortable carrying it with one hand. There is a hanging strap on the back which is convenient, but I wouldn't want to have to tote this speaker around very far. Having said that, perhaps the reason for the weight is to deliver deep, rich bass and very good sound quality. I was very impressed with the sound quality at high volume as the bass did not distort and the highs were crisp but not painfully sharp. Out of the box the speaker connected easily and quickly to several devices. Also, the Ultimate ears app works well, if a little simplistic. The app allows you to adjust the equalizer and several other speaker settings and I found it all works seamlessly. Battery life is respectable and comes close to what the manufacturer claims.

A well-rounded speaker! Battery life could be a touch better and it is still a bit on the pricey side but I don't regret it at all!

I'm familiar with the "Ultimate Ears" brand as I owned the UE 9000 headphones in the past. They were amazing until I managed to break the headband. To this day, I miss the sound signature of those headphones. The EPICBOOM, while obviously not headphones, is a worth entrant that reminds me of the UE 9000's. Sound quality is the foundation of the Ultimate Ears brand, which is why Logitech bought them long ago, but I digress. This speaker is big and packs a bigger punch! I'm not certain of how many individual speakers it has, but suffice to say it brings a full sound stage to a comparatively small package. I have been using this in my garage and on the back deck. The sound doesn't have any trouble filling the garage or deck as it has an authoritative presence when cranked up. The "outdoor" button adds even more body and fullness to the sound, making it an ideal speaker for a small gathering or BBQ. It's water-resistance, while not tested by me, promises to continue the rugged outdoor use reputation built by the line of Boom speakers.I would have no concerns if it fell into the pool or got stuck in the rain. It's water resistance is class-leading and confidence-inspiring. In summary, the EPICBOOM is, well, pretty epic. I docked one star because at the MSRP of $349, it's competing in a tough premium portable speaker market, which includes the top-tier Sonos Move. The Sonos has an even more authoritative sound profile, but in all fairness is more intended for indoors and non-rugged outdoor use. If I had to do it all over again, I would still purchase this, given the overall feature-set, but wish the sound was on the same level as the Sonos. But for a rugged speaker that can be used in any environment, the EPICBOOM lives up to it's name.

I've been a UE fan for a very long time, starting with their incredible corded earbuds and then their Boom series of portable speakers. I have several of them around the house and was looking for something a little more powerful that I could use outside or at the lake, but not as big and the HyperBoom. Thats where the EPIC Boom fits in. This speaker nicely slots in the UE Boom series between the MegaBoom and the HyperBoom. It was bigger than I had imagined but not too big as to be cumbersome. It's about 6.5"w x 9.5"h x 4.5"d so it's still quite portable, especially with the built-in carrying strap that cleverly stays out of the way via a magnet. It's always the little details like this that make the difference. The build materials are very similar to all their previous Boom speakers....rubberized soft-touch plastic and fabric mesh. This time, those materials are primarily made from recycled products which is a huge plus. Speaking of, the same oversized "+" and "-" buttons on the front control the volume, and the top panel consists of the power button, the bluetooth connect button, the Outdoor Boost button along with the play/pause button. There is also a NFC emblem where Android users can hover and connect their phones to the Epic Boom. I'm an iOS guys so sadly, I don't get to use this function. The USB C connection port is hidden under a rubberized flab on the lower back, to keep it safe and dry. The EpicBoom is IP67 rated so it can be used around and IN water....the unit actually floats! Feature wise, this speaker doesn't disappoint. • immersive 360 degree sound in typical UE fashion • It offers extended bluetooth range of 155 feet! ....whaaaaa? • 17 hour battery life • Direct Playlist play from the top panel play button (set up in the Boom app) • Adaptive EQ - a microphone detects the surroundings and optimizes the speaker output • Outdoor Boost - adjusts to an outdoor setting so that sound carries further • Built in handle strap that lays flat to the speaker via a magnet • did I mention it FLOATS? The EpicBoom has more customized features via the UE Boom app. In the app, you can select pre-set EQ settings ( Bass Boost, Game/Cinema, Deep Relaxation, Podcast/Vocal) or create your own. There, you can turn on/off the Adaptive EQ, use the PartyUp speaker feature to connect multiple Boom speakers, as well as select a playlist(s) from either Apple Music or Amazon Music that can be played directly via the top panel play button. One thing to note is that creating a custom EQ is surprisingly good, as it changes the sound in real time while Im sliding the EQ sliders. It really allowed me to fine tune the sound to my liking with great ease. Sound wise, I couldn't believe how clear it sounded. It has excellent high, mid and bass separation and nothing became muddy like I've experienced with other portable speakers. The bass was fantastic for a speaker of this size and because of that, it will be a great speaker that I can take to the lake or use by the pool...or any outdoor get-together for that matter. In the end, Im very happy with it so far and looking forward to using it as often as I can. Highly recommended!
