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

With innovative features, a warm and detailed sound signature, and reams of power, UE's Mini Boom makes a strong pitch as the new leader in the entry-level portable speaker category.

Warm; full midrange; Impressive bass response; Powerful max volume; Innovative features; Affordable

Won't charge your device; Tends to "dance around" with heavy bass

At this size and price point, you'll have a very difficult time finding a speaker that can outperform the UE Mini Boom. (8.5 out of 10) Pros Warm, full midrange Impressive bass response Innovative features Affordable Cons Won't charge your device Tends to "dance around" with heavy bass Until...

As with the UE Roll, the Boom2 and Megaboom have a solid build, minimalistic design, along with variations of vibrant colours. There is very little difference between the two units, with the Megaboom, almost simply, just a larger Boom2.

5.1 speaker systems? Who needs them. The only speakers being expeditiously released lately are portable Bluetooth speakers you can take along with you everywhere you go. Ultimate Ears, now a Logitech brand, are one of the many names fighting to sell you their own take on these self-powered speaker...

Ultimate Ears is joining the portable speaker revolution with the Boom, a cylindrical speaker that does more than just play back your tunes. It can also survive in more places than your average soundmaker.

Very loud; Loud; Works while being charged; Highly water resistant; Tripod mountable; Can be paired with a second Boom speaker for more sound or stereo separation

Bass isn't as strong as you might like; Tripod mount is very; very hard to remove the first time

The UE Boom is one of those tech products that a lot of audio geeks have been talking about. For those unfamiliar with Ultimate Ears, the niche headphone manufacturer put themselves on the map by producing high-end and excellent sounding in-ear monitors and earbud style headphones.

Great Packaging; Unique Design; Fun To Use; Hi-Fi Caliber Sound On the Go

Lack of Bass

The UE MINI BOOM is a great upgrade to one of the best Bluetooth speakers. Adding speaker mirror and right/left support is a great way to double the sound.

At first glance, the Logitech UE Boombox looks a bit like something Judy Jetson would carry to a beach party on an asteroid. It's all smooth curves and brushed aluminum, evoking the Mac Pro's cheese-grater aesthetic, as well as mid-20th-century design.

Portable and rechargeable; Surprisingly deep bass; Six-hour battery life.

Kinda heavy; Battery is not replaceable, once it eventually dies
