Ultimate Ears, which was acquired by Logitech in 2008, has clearly produced a very popular Boom product series.
The UE Boom is a 360-degree portable speaker, which launched in the winter of 2013 and has been well-received in the New Zealand market. It's easy tounderstand why Kiwis like it due to it's clever design, great sound and portable nature.
The UE Boom doesn't appear very large when one experiences it for the first time: it's essentially a cylinder-shaped tube 60 mm in diametre and in 190 mm height that weighs 0.55 kg. Its centre of gravity is located near the the base, which makes it quite stable and it isn't likely to fall over in case someone accidentally bounces into it. There's a hook at the top so that it can be hung up.
The speaker is wireless and Bluetooth enabled, and can easily be controlled by Android and iOS mobile apps. This means that you can play and share all your songs on your phone during the barbeque or birthday party. The 15 hour battery life and high sound ensure a pleasant audio experience.
The price around $200 is relatively high compared to other portable speakers sold in New Zealand, but Kiwis perceive it as offering high value.
The successor to UE Boom is the Logitech UE Boom 2. Kiwi audiophiles should also consider the UE MegaBoom. The UE Mini Boom and the UE Roll come at a cheaper price tag and retails at around $130.

Could do with a touch more subtlety and refinement
Was initially really impressed with this speaker but within the year, it developed a really annoying vibration on the bass which rendered it unusable. Not sure if I just got a duff one, but I wouldn't recommend this, sadly, as have had several Logitech products previously & I rate the brand.
We chose the ultimate ears boom over several other offers, our first requirement was for clear speech from the TV, we did not want a cinema high volume system, but clarity of speech.
Bought these on sale. Excellent sound and loud! Volume does vary with the source, but it's more than loud enough for casual listening around the home or portable music on trips away. Also, download the dedicated app to manage settings and view battery status.
Very bad , both speakers dead . It's been just 6 months since I bought it. Should've just gone for the flip 3
The UE Boom is simply the best wireless speaker I've ever used. It's attractive, has some seriously awesome features, and sounds spectacular. At $200, you'd be hard-pressed to find an equally good speaker for cheaper.
Great sound; attractive design; tons of actually useful features
None
Sometimes the lights would show it was charged but it did not charge or hold a charge. It has great sound and great battery life just be very cautious to make sure it is charging.
Durable; Easy Controls; Good Sound Quality; Lightweight; Long Battery Life; Powerful
I look for a long time to find a Bluetooth speaker that would be perfect for my needs. This one fits the bill. It has great sound, travels with me everywhere, and even fits in my cupholder of my car
