UE Boom consists of two 38-millimetre (1.5 in) drivers at 4 Ω, and has two passive radiators measuring 51 millimetres (2 in). The design and cylindrical shape was described by iLounge as "different from most competitors and yet consistent with both prior UE Boombox designs". The speaker comes in several colorways, including a limited edition designed by painter Kenny Scharf. It is coated in a water- and stain-resistant material and partly covered with rubber. The speaker is an elongated cylinder measuring 18 cm × 6.5 cm (7.1 in × 2.6 in), similar in shape to a canned beverage, and weighing 538 g (19.0 oz). The third revision, UE Boom 3, was announced on Aug with a personalized version of the speaker announced on March 4, 2019. The new model featured IPX7 waterproofing, a 25% increase in volume, and superior wireless range over the original model. On September 15, 2015, Ultimate Ears introduced the UE Boom 2, a revised model of the UE Boom. The speaker was first on May 21, 2013, and went on sale in the United States and Europe later that month. UE Boom has been praised for its industrial design, loudness, battery life, speakerphone capability, and its suitability for outdoor use, but criticized for its comparatively high price. Forget adding extra features and focus on the core product and main reason people buy your speakers, to listen to some dang music.UE Boom is a portable speaker manufactured by Ultimate Ears, supporting Bluetooth and wired connections. you have some solid underlying physical engineering that the app doesn't do justice and even detracts from. Ignore the completion from the likes of Bose, beats, JBL etc. Requiring the app to parry up may look cool with the dots and all, but functions 10x better and consistently on the cheaper wonderboom models (which sadly are limited to 2 max otherwise I'd just buy 8 of them). EQ, nice to have but I'll trade it any day for rock solid audio with no cutouts. If I need to physically get up and walk over to turn one on/off or adjust the volume so be it. The app looks nice and all but at the end of the day all I'm looking for is a high quality stable connection between multiple speakers. It shouldn't be an iterative process to successfully get 3 speakers partied up and by no means should any have audio cutting out while sitting next to one another fully charged playing music (5G WiFi, downloaded tracks, whatever, there's a codec issue here). Audio quality and connection should be paramount over all of the other convenience features. Spotty Audio Connections on Party Up, App is Style Over SubstanceĬart before the horse here on execution. Otherwise, if it is in the budget, get a pair of PSB, ELAC or Klipsch active speakers if you do not necessarily need portability. Spend you money JBL if you want to connect via cable. This should be considered an absolute embarrassment for a company such as this. AND burn the draft boards it was written on. RECOMMENDATION: Burn this disaster of an attempt at a bluetooth app. Yes, my bluetooth function works because I writing this message with my Logitech K760 Solar Keyboard via bluetooth. This is worse than the KEF LSX attempt at a bluetooth app. The software, once downloaded onto my iPhone, never shows the MegaBoom in the bluetooth window. I tried to return the speaker but it was beyond the return date. ![]() Also, it will no longer connect via bluetooth to my MacBook Pro. It is bad enough that there is no way to extinguish that obnoxious sound that it makes when turning on or off and no AUX jack/port on the UE Megaboom to connect directly but this is putting rock salt into a gunshot wound £ stitching it closed. It is unfathomable that Logitech is associated with this nonsense. It’s too bad one cannot give negative stars! Everyone involved in developing this worthless drivel need to be given Pink Slips £ escorted to the exit immediately.
