Ultimate Ears - ROLL 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Volcano

i was surprised at the quality of the speakers. great sound for the money

Picked the "reef" model. Like the funky artwork on the speaker's "top". Great in the shower. Wonderful sound. Bungee cord handy for hanging the Roll. LONG battery life. Love the feature that let's you know power remaining (press + and - at same time). Only con is that you cannot change music station while away from phone - have to know what you want before getting in the shower!! Have it sitting on my bathroom vanity - a most welcome addition to daily routine.

The UE Roll 2 is a great little Bluetooth speaker that connects easily to my iPhone. Had an issue when first got it, unit wouldn't charge or turn on. Called UE tech support and they talked me through updating the firmware for the speaker, and all worked well after that. Speaker has fairly loud, clear sound when played at upper volumes. Haven't tried the water proof side of it, so can't say anything about that. I also have a Bose Soundlink Color and the sound is pretty comparable for half the price. I would recommend this speaker for anyone looking for a portable speaker to take to the beach or pool, without having to worry about it getting wet.

I’ve had a lot of Bluetooth speakers and I have to say this one is one of the best - especially for its size. The sound is very good. Clear with no distortion. The UE app makes using it much more convenient too. The strap is handy for carrying it around. If you want booming bass you will have to get something much larger and a lot less portable. I personally think the bass is perfect for out by the pool or beach. If I want more - than that’s what the home stereo is for. I don’t expect rock concert sound from this and anyone reasonable would not expect that either...that’s why there are larger models which can go louder and lower. So buy the right model and you won’t be disappointed.

My comments are based on a $55 sale price. For what this speaker is, my opinion is it is a best in class performer. I have tried a number of similar speakers and this one stands out for sound, features, and durability (water rated IPX7). The sound is fairly even and this can play pretty loud for its size. Adding UEs software to a compatible device enables two of these to be configured in a stereo pair. The bungee cord built-into the device is very handy as this can easily be attached to bicycle handle bars, a fence or similar. UE states it floats but I have not tried this. This is a very good product for the price.

I originally wanted to buy a UE Boom. However, it was little too expensive so I went with this one instead. I can tell you I am not disappointed in the slightest. Despite being a relatively small speaker, this has great sound. Also, it's shape allows for easy packing if you want to take it with you. Finally, the strap allows you to attach it to something or hang it in a number of areas, which a lot of speakers can't do. If you're looking for a good quality speaker with great sound and long battery life, this is a fantastic option.

I have tried many times, with multiple brands, all different shapes and sizes... but I still can't beat the sound quality and volume level that this speaker puts out. The battery is great and after 2 years it is still holding full capacity (which is about 10 hours depending how loud it's playing) and it gets used on a regular basis. (Which may help the battery). My only complaint is that sometimes when two of them are paired together they can go in and out intermittently. Not sure if it's the speaker or the Bluetooth device. But it seems to happen with any Bluetooth device. And doesn't matter if your 10 inches or 10 yards away. It's not a big deal and it doesn't happen all the time. Still the best speaker I've found in this price point and a little bit Beyond. I Definitely recommended this speaker and I have already done that many of times.

I used to own the UE Boom but lost it so I needed a cheaper replacement. This was perfect. The sound is pretty good. It is much better than any phone out there and almost all Bluetooth speakers at this price point. It is a tank. I take it in the shower, leave it outside, and more and it withstands it all. The battery life is great. Overall very happy with the speaker.
