You're paying a bit extra for the sturdy, portable design, but the Logitech UE Boombox is still a good option if you're looking for a lightweight speaker system that you can use outdoors on a regular basis.
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.

The Logitech Ultimate Ears Boom is a handy, super portable wireless speaker. If portability is your top priority, you can't do much better for belching sound out of a small frame. But for the price, you can get a wireless speaker that connects to a multi-room audio system too - if most of your music...
The Logitech Ultimate Ears Boom is a lot smaller than some other wireless speakers we've tested recently: you can easily grip it one hand (it's less than seven centimetres wide); but it still packs enough space inside for a 15 hour battery.
The Logitech UE Boom is impressive, but it's also pricey; We've tested portable Bluetooth speakers with respectable sound for a tenth of the price before; For the same sum, you can also pick up a wireless speaker that's much more versatile, if more bulky and less portable: the Pure Jongo S3, which...
Logitech's Bluetooth speakers have proven to offer solid performance in small, affordable packages, and the UE Boom (named for the Ultimate Ears brand Logitech acquired) is no different. At $199.99 (direct) this cylindrical speaker is eye-catching, gets pleasantly loud, and can even be paired up with another speaker for a wireless stereo experience. While pricier, it offers better sound and significantly more power than the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox($280.00 at Amazon). As expected for a small portable Bluetooth speaker, though, it doesn't exactly impress on the low end and doesn't beat the more expensive Bose SoundLink II($529.97 at Amazon) as our current Editors' Choice for Bluetooth speakers, despite coming close. DesignThe UE Boom is about the size of a large beer can, like Foster's or (if you have slightly better taste) Bitberger. It's a 7.2-inch cylinder measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and weighing 1.2 pounds, small enough to tuck into a bag and just wide enough to stand ...
The UE Boom is a surprisingly powerful Bluetooth speaker the size of a beer can, but you need two if you want to take advantage of its coolest feature.
Solid soundscape; Powerful, clear midrange and treble; Supports two speakers for true stereo
Slightly weak bass
Measuring 4.3" wide by 2.3" tall by 2.6" deep, UE Mini Boom uses a combination of colored metallic and rubberized surfaces to form a rounded-off box of thick rubber, matching or contrasting in color with painted metal front and rear grilles.
The Logitech UE Boom has a lot to offer, but great sound isn't part of the deal.
360 degree sound; Good battery life
Sound isn't all it's cracked up to be
One of the few areas in audio tech to have grown over the last few years is the Bluetooth speaker. Tykes who used to annoy people by playing tunes on their mobile phones on the bus have apparently grown up into adults who like the idea of a wireless portable speaker to crank tunes out of.
Seriously loud; Attractive design; Solid battery life
Expensive; Socket placement ruins waterproofing
Yes the product works as designed. However it (the driver) ended up causing a problem with other devices on Windows 10. After uninstalling the driver and power cycling you will notice UE boom driver still shows up. Looking at the registry (post removal) you will find UE boom all over.
Works as speaker; but can corrupt your OS
Once you install the UE Boom driver; good luck getting rid of it
