I was looking for an easy way to get music around the house without paying thousands of dollars. I thought I'd end up with sonas or Bose but this is doing great. I am not a music critic and I don't throw house parties. I use mine to listen to music as I clean or stream audiobooks or podcasts. While in store I tried these out and was impressed with the richness of sound and the way it handled music with some bass to it. I thought it sounded as good as the Bose. In my home it has functioned just as well. I like it much better than the Alexa and it's miles above that echo. I charged it in the car on the way to work and it is still on that first charge. I have not tried to use it in series with another megaboom but I might. The Bluetooth worked well with my iPhone. You don't even have to choose it on your settings after the first time. Just turn on the speaker and they connect. I can't get it to work w my iPad though. The only negative (and that's nitpicking) is the loud noise when you turn it on and off

I got my Mom a UE WONDERBOOM and I personally loved how it sounded. I finally decided to get one for myself and picked the Concrete color because it looks pretty rad. With any portable Bluetooth speaker, I don't recommend pushing the volume above 50%. And with the WONDERBOOM, I don't even go near that volume level. It's loud enough to fill most rooms. The sound is bass-boosted at lower volumes and that helps give your music a bit of punch. But as you turn it up, the sound signature balances itself out to protect the speaker from itself. An issue that I've discovered with the UE WONDERBOOM is that with some phones, the Bluetooth connection won't be perfect and the music will sound distorted. The speaker itself is fine with my iPhone and iPad. But distortion is apparent with my Android device (Essential Phone). So I'm not sure what to suggest here. Try it out with your Android phone and if it distorts, don't think twice and just exchange it for another model, something like the Bose SoundLink Micro or the cheaper Sony SRS-XB10. But if you've got an iDevice, I can safely say you're good to go and enjoy crisp, funky audio from this little thing.

Got this on sale at a great price. Sounds great for a speaker a size of a softball. Use it at work all day long. I work a 10hr shift and this battery keeps going. I keep it under half volume. Dropped it a few times at counter hight and no marks. Took it with me on vacation in hawaii and was flawless at the beach with the hot sun, plus the sand just brushed off. Happy with my purchase. Oddly, I use it more often then my Bose revolve plus even though my Bose sounds better. For the price of the UE I wont worry if anything bad happens to it since my Bose cost me 6x more.
