Great sound - excellent

Fantastic piece of equipment and the fact that it is truly waterproof is amazing. Can use in shower, in bath and even in the sea when onholiday

Improved sound and a price cut make this ultra-portable, colourful speaker even more desirable than before

Enthusiastic; full-bodied performance; Clear and detailed; Fluid dynamics and open sound; Great design and easy to use; Price

Pricier rivals offer greater bass weight

Strap; portability

Doesn't let you know when battery is low

The UE Roll was one of my favorite compact Bluetooth speakers of 2015 and now there's a sequel: the UE Roll 2, which offers a couple of modest improvements over the original. For starters, it plays louder. About 15 percent louder according to UE.

The UE Roll 2 is a compact, waterproof Bluetooth speaker with a unique design, very good sound for its size, and decent battery life; It has an integrated bungee cord and an included inflatable life preserver that allows it to float in water.

It has no speakerphone capabilities

Not a major improvement, but an improvement nonetheless.

IPX7 Waterproof; Good sound; Extremely portable

Limited playback controls; Questionable battery life

The UE Roll 2 is one of the best Bluetooth speakers in the present market. At Rs. 8,495, you get great balance of mids and highs, and would have been nearly perfect with better low frequency performance. It still delivers good audio clarity, and now flaunts class-leading Bluetooth range.

Good audio clarity; Richly detailed mid frequencies; Class-leading wireless connectivity range; Completely waterproof

Attenuated bass delivery; Still no speakerphone capabilities

Similar to the BOOM 2 , the Roll 2 has only a few iterative changes, but we like the net result. Among the changes are improved bluetooth range (we were getting around 80-90 feet without interference), and the sound has definitely improved year-over-year.

Affordable price; Strong battery life (~9 hours; Waterproof (1m for 30 minutes; Great Bluetooth stability; Pretty decent sound quality

No speakerphone option; No track management option

The perfect Bluetooth speaker would have great sound and a ton of features at a cheap price. The Ultimate Ears Roll comes as close as any to meeting all three criteria. It delivers full sound in a very portable, waterproof form, all for $100.

Full treble and midrange; Waterproof; Loud for an inexpensive speaker

No speakerphone; Can't control music from speaker

Overall I love my EU Roll Bluetooth Speaker. I should mention that I received the product for free to use for this review! Definitely a win for someone like me who listens to music whenever and wherever possible.
