UE - MINI BOOM Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

It is small, compact and oh boy! the sound it can output is amazing. It is so loud that people disguised it for some home theatre speakers. It has been almost 4 weeks and it is still running strong from the first full battery charge. It is very easy to carry and best suited for outdoors. The only thing i wish it had some kind of display which could show the battery life or volume levels. This one does not have any kind of display (not even LEDs). Only way is to bluetooth the mini boom with your android or iPhone and then download the UE MINI BOOM app from playstore/appstore and change whatever settings you want. Overall, this is a best compact bluetooth speaker for the price.

Just what I needed !!!! I m not a big stereo person---this fits for me.

Design is great but the sound is not. Price is ok.

I have more iOS devices than I can count that can play my music, but I only rarely used earbuds to listen. I do take advantage of Apple's Airplay on my home WiFi network, but I only have devices in a few places in the house to play the music this way. Portable bluetooth (BT) speakers are a great way to unlock your music almost anywhere. You can use this speaker anywhere around the house and it can also be used in your car, if your car's built-in BT is wimpy. It easily pairs with BT music sources and reliably keeps the connection. The Mini Boom is a small speaker and you have to adjust your expectations for sound quality accordingly. But for a small speaker, it has relatively robust sound and plenty of volume. I have done some unscientific tests of the BT range and it seems to meet or exceed the claimed spec of 50 feet. The 10 hour battery life distinguishes this unit from many other small speakers. This is plenty of battery life for general usage so you don't have to always worry about running down the battery. Many other speakers in this size class only have 4 o 6 hours of battery life, which in my view is pretty limited. The speaker does not come with any lanyard or other attachment device, but it does have a nice finish that resists slipping off the surface you place it on. It isn't heavy, but it has enough heft to stay put. There are big embossed symbols for the volume and BT pairing that are easy to use. It comes with a standard USB charging cable, but no ac adapter. This was no problem for me, since I have plenty of these around that came with my iOS devices. Of course, the speaker can also be plugged into a computer to charge. You can also connect the speaker to an iOS device using a mini-stereo plug (not included). If you have two of the devices, there is an app you can download to get true stereo sound with better separation. All in all, this speaker meets my needs for an easy to use portable speaker with good sound.

Was looking for a long time for the smallest yet fullest sound speaker. I feel Beats is way overpriced & average sound at best. Bose was great but didn't want to take out a loan. Jabra Mini Jawbone was the closest. But it was a little bigger & a little more money than the UE. Bluetooth connection can be a little finicky to connect, but I got use to the procedure (I use 4 different devices). Also even if volume is turned all the way down, it uses a moderately load sound to let you know a connection or disconnection happened (I get up for work early in the morning). But if you use the 3.5 inline cord, no sound.

I read many reviews on many competing products. I wanted something small, but with good and loud audio as well as a long-lasting battery. This was the right choice. Great convenience. Terrific sound for its category (this is NOT a $4000 audio system after all!). Very portable. Good purchase and I'd do it again.

If you are wondering if whether this speaker will do "it" for you, wonder (and wander) no further!!! I am a massage therapist with 2 offices and in-home clients so I am constantly on-the-go! I was looking for a quality sound for my healing environment and found it in this perfect sounding speaker! I was also considering the Bose sound link but was not comfortable with the Bose price...when one of my patients told me about this speaker I had to check it out! I walked into the BB store and found there was only one left on the shelf! Not only that but after looking at the price on Amazon at $99, BB pric was marked at $69!!! Yay BB!! I have been so happy with this purchase! The sound is as good as quality as the Bose, the portability is easy as it fits perfectly in my work bag, purse and I even use it in my car as well!!! You will not be disappointed if you so choose this little speaker packed with HUGE QUALITY sound!!!

For being as small as this speaker is, it produces great sound. It has good volume and good clarity. The mids and highs are good, the lows are limited, but clear. I own four of these and they are very portable and the battery lasts a good while. If you buy one you will not be disappointed.
