After purchasing a UE Boom speaker, I will never get another brand. For a speaker that runs off a battery, it is extremely impressive. Despite being on the more expensive side, it is well worth the price for several key reasons. It is extremely durable, has great sound quality, and is very portable. If you are an outdoor adventurer and love music, the UE Boom is definitely something you will want to take with you. But even if you aren’t as adventure-prone, I would still recommend it. It has not only replaced my old and bulky home speaker system, but it also comes in handy when playing music in my car (which has a really old stereo system).
Durability
Durability is one of the essential factors in a portable speaker, because, without it, you may feel less free to bring it along with you for various outdoor activities. Because the UE Boom is not only drop-proof, but also waterproof (I have tested both, multiple times), you don’t need to even think about protecting your speaker as you would other electronics. Bringing it on your adventures will become as automatic as bringing a water bottle.
Sound Quality
Not only is the speaker durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of an outdoor lifestyle, it also has excellent sound quality and volume. Because of this, it is also very convenient to use to boost movie audio at home or to play music in your car (assuming you have an older car). For those of us who have older TVs and/or cars, and who don’t want to spend money on a home speaker system or car stereo, a UE Boom is a great solution for all of these problems at once. Additionally, with regards to the max volume, when using it at a park, I often don’t even have the volume maxed out for fear of being rude to those around me. That’s how loud it can get.
Portability
The portability of the UE Boom is my another of my favorite aspects. As mentioned earlier, bringing it with you will likely become as habitual as bringing a water bottle. Its size is actually slightly smaller than a water bottle, and despite that, its battery lasts 2-6 hours depending on how loudly you like to play your music. If you want to extend the battery life, one thing you can do is use a good power bank with it (only about $20-$30), and that can keep it playing your music for 5-7 hours.
I definitely would recommend purchasing a UE Boom and hope that you have as good an experience as I have had so far!
Just to be clear, I do not take it into the shower. It sits outside on a shelf.
In the last year my wife has discovered the joy of having music while taking a shower. Now it is getting much more use but working like a champ.
Despite daily use the battery is keeping a charge, only needing a recharge once a month.
The app shows the battery percentage so I know when to give it a charge.
If you want a shower speaker that stands up to steam for years, and has the power to hear over the water, you could do worse. The price has increased and there are newer ones on the market, so do your research, however, this is a proven product that will give you years of use in a damp environment.
The app is a great feature and comes in very handy. You can change the volume and equalizer, set alarms, and see the battery level. I wish you could fully open the app without being connected to the speaker though, but there is not much reason to do this anyways. The bluetooth range is excellent, maybe not quite 100 ft, but still longer than most by far. I can take my phone to another room, or even floor, and it still sounds crystal clear. The waterproofing is very good too. I take it in the shower with me everyday and it works great. The battery life is really about 15 hours as well. I can get a charge to last more than a week with daily use at low/medium volume. The shape makes it unique, and it is nice to have sound come from all directions, but if placed on its side or a non flat surface the sound is distinctly off or muted.
The only big issues I've experienced are that it can be difficult to connect. It connected to my phone immediately the first time and ever since, but it can be hard to connect with new devices. You have to hold down the bluetooth button until it makes a noise, but it takes two or three tries to show up. Also, you should be able to pause and skip songs by tapping the top, but it barely works. It might be that it’s not sensitive enough as it usually just pauses, so it is recognizing the taps but not all of them. I wish it just came with buttons to pause/skip songs, it would be much more useful. Overall a great speaker, and I would say 9/10.
Top reviews from other countries
This speaker is great that it offers VERY good sound and is VERY loud with minimal distortion even when cranked up loud. I have used it outdoors, in the garage, camping, and it's been phenomenal. Secondly, it's IP7 rated waterproof! I have dunked this speaker in a bucket and have got it sandy. You can wash it with soap and water without a worry (and it's recommended in the insert as well). It's also fall resistant for drops up to a meter. This means that you can use it carefree around the house.
The shape allows me to fit it into the water bottle pocket of my backpack while travelling. I swim and scuba dive and don't worry when handling this device with wet hands. If you tie one of those bobby things to the speaker (so that it doesn't sink if dropped in water) you can even take it in a canoe and listen to tunes. If you capsize, it'll continue playing on the surface. I have taken it in a boat but haven't capsized yet!
Lastly, the audio quality is better than the Sony, the battery life lasts me a week with daily use at low-moderate volume (3 hours per day). The Bose however, does offer crisper highs. The base on this UE Boom is great and for casual listening its amazing. But if you're an "audiophile," you'll be able to tell the difference between this and the Bose.
I wanted the speaker for it's great sound, durability and ease of travel. If this is you, I'd definitely recommend!
Short review after 4+years.
This speaker has been my go-to buddy for every where I've been. Every gathering, every field trip, every travelling. My dad loves it my mom loves it my friend loves it. I'm not saying it is the best one out there. But I've never regret i made a decision to buy this. It's been more then 4yrs noy and it still sound great not 100% but better then most. The battery also still running very strong, at medium it still can run upto around 3hrs. That is if you are playing non stop. I love it and will buy again as soon it stops working, but still i don't think that will happen anytime soon. But I don't know anyone else will be fortunate as i am. I'm just mentioning my experience for the last 4+year. I hope you all having a great time with this wonderful Ultimate speaker.
Looks great
Very loud speaker. The sound quality is extremely sharp and clear , the bass is very good but have to admit not as deep as a Bose. It can fill a large room with high quality sound with very little distortion at the very top of it's limit.
The body of this speaker is very rugged and is made of high quality rubber (I accidentally dropped it from the top of a 5ft shelf to the cement floor and the is no damage what so ever...really) I really doubt any Bose speaker can take that or any speaker in this category for that matter.
If you want a good quality speaker and can take a beating then this is the one you should get. Highly recommend (this is my third bluetooth speaker..the others are from Bose and Sony)
Lastly....the battery is also surprisingly undrainable (I meant it lasts a long time)
Bottom line. Very portable combine with great sound and ruggedness are qualities that cannot be ignored when shopping for a blue tooth speaker.
My review is never biased.
