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.

This is gotta be my best buy in a very long time, compares to the same feeling as getting a new laptop!. Simply this little box is probably the best sound I have heard from such a small device. I can use it to boom sound into a large room and the quality is 100%.
sexy and stylish; makes people's heads turn; this is gonna be the next big fad for teens; amazing sound and loudness
none...this is amazing
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
A word about the seller, Omnikeys. I purchased this unit because it was the lowest priced version. I didn't realize at the time that I was ordering from South Korea. When I realized what I had done, I began to fret, worrying about gray market goods and so forth. My fears were unfounded.
Having listened to (and purchased) several brands of high end bluetooth speakers, I can confidently say that the UE Boom is the best of the genre; Construction and attention to detail are rock-solid; The units are aesthetically pleasing and the sound quality is quite satisfactory.
With all its pros; it still feels pretty ridiculous to drop $200 on a bluetooth speaker; let alone $400 to have a stereo pair
As portable device speakers go, the UE Boom, really is quite spectacular. If anyone is familiar with the Henry Kloss Tivoli Audio radios and think they are good, well these are just as good.
Love it it for the following reasons: 1.Really loud. 2.Don't feel cheap on your hand, the rubber material makes it feel safe in your hands. 3.Long Battery life. I used it for 2 hours and it only used 15% of battery!
The Ultimate Ears UE Boom wants to be the ultimate portable Bluetooth Speaker. With 15 hours of battery life, great 360º sound, a water and stain resistant acoustic skin, NFC connectivity, and the ability to link two UE BOOM speakers to create a stereo pair, at $199.99 it is definitely in the...
: Great sound from any direction; Rugged without looking like it is; Great Bluetooth range; Ability to use two as a stereo pair; Good battery life; Fits in a cup holder, hands from a clip; Many colors available
: Does not ship with a protective bag; More expensive than other Bluetooth speakers; Stereo pair is a pricey option
Ultimate Ears brings its third Bluetooth speaker offering to market in the Boom, a device that features "360-degree sound" and the ability to "Double Up," or pair two speakers together, for stereo output.
Giant; clear sound; Good battery life; Double Up stereo capability
Expensive; Some bass distortion at high volumes
. It really lives up to its name, delivering top-notch sound quality that's nearly impossible to find in most speakers twice its size. Of course, that kind of quality comes at a price – a $200 price, to be exact.
With the vast (and ever-growing) sea of audio products available, it becomes harder and harder to get noticed. It takes the right combination of elements to get that attention and then deliver with quality that people will love and keep.
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 .
