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.

Hands down one of the best portable speakers I have ever owned. These sound better than most of the competition and gets much louder too with no distortion at all. I take this almost everywhere I go and all my friends are so impressed with how good it sounds.
Loud; Clean sound; Highly portable; Bluetooth; Decent range
Sometimes cuts out
I purchaesd this for use on construction jobs. The need for verbal communication eliminated the possibility of head phones. Need to be able to recieve phone calls with hands free.
Great sound Easy to connect to Bluetooth
Hard to hear on both sides of speaker phone (caller and receiver) Battery life is terrible have to keep plugged in for moderate volume rock and roll music
Excellent product.very gud out put with power amp. Cons: very bulky . when used oudoors specially on beach be present in the 5 meter range of the speaker or else u wount hear the beats
Attractive Design; Easy to Mount; Easy To Set Up; Good Power Output; Great Sound Quality
Heavy / Bulky
Forget Jambox . It's officially been replaced, at least to my ears, by the Ultimate Ears Boom: A portable wireless speaker that sounds almost as good as a much larger home system. It also has a brilliant stereo mode that lets you set up two Booms to act as a stereo pair.
Portable Bluetooth wireless speakers shouldn't be delicate flowers - they're meant to be handled a bit roughly as you tote them around with you. They also need long-lasting batteries to last through the day (and into the night).
Spreads sound widely; Vocals sound clear; Strong battery life; Rugged build; Great speakerphone quality
Weak bass output
The Ultimate Ears Boom is a cool product. It has the looks, the build and the extra features to be an extremely attractive speaker.
Cool and funky design; Compact and portable;Easy to connect and use; Big; open sound; Plenty of detail; Good dynamics and rhythm; Great app and extra features
Could do with a touch more subtlety and refinement
For the past eight months I've listened to music in my digital workspace/home office through a review unit of the Logitech UE Boom Speaker , connected via Bluetooth to my Mac Mini .
Overall I'm very happy with this product. Also very happy with MemEx's price!
-Clean; crisp; full sound -Good battery life -Looks good -Excellent speakerphone functionality -NFC tag for bluetooth pairing is a nice touch
-Volume buttons hard to find in the dark
