What customers say about "Key Specs"

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

The power of the speaker with 15W with a clear sound separating the highs and mids.
Excellent battery life lasting 20 hours, respected battery life with a volume up to 80% of the overall volume of the speaker.
Pairing Fast and stable bluetooth connection.
It's a very powerful speaker giving clear sound for movies and music.
Battery life is excellent and the time to full recharge is quite quick.

Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

I use it on my computer, when I camp, when I go literally anywhere. Even with constant use I’ve got about two to three days use.
The audio quality is great, it gets nice and loud, never have any issues with a seamless bluetooth connection, and I really like the graphic design of the speaker grille.
The best feature about this speaker is the endless battery life. It seems like I almost never charge it and it has 100 ft Bluetooth connectivity.
The product itself is great, but there are some firmware bugs. For example, it cannot connect to two devices simultaneously as advertised.
It will disconnect one device to connect to another one. Also, the tap control to pause and skip songs is not the best.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

Small footprint - given the unique design of this, it takes up such little space on your desk.
Small and yet powerful. Great bass, quite cool apps.
Good sound for a relatively small unit.
It charged up and worked fine, sounded great for a small portable speaker.
The sound is awesome for a speaker this size and weight. Clear bass, and clean treble and mid-range that carry nicely around.

Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

It's not too big and not too heavy making it very portable.
It’s amazing to carry into different rooms at home and it’s perfect for anytime. It's size fits any design and home interior.
A very convenient speaker, you can easily take with you on trips.
It’s too heavy for me to throw into a bag for daily use.
As for me it is big and uncomfortable and it requires a lot of space in the bag.

What customers say about "Features"

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

The seriousness and robustness of the manufacture.
Quality of the bass with an exceptional sound spectrum that prints, marks and buffers, giving an unparalleled dimension to the tracks listened to.
Almost perfect compatibility with all musical genres and especially those with well-marked rounds.
IPX7 waterproofing and the presence of a trap covering the ports.
All good. A powerful speaker to bring with you to any party.

Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

However, the 360 sound is great, and it is really loud. Even at low volume the sound is clear and the bass is strong.
Very impressed with the amount of sound that comes from this speaker.
It also is Alexa compatible. Apparently, it is supposed to work with Siri and Google Assistant but I haven't figured out how to make either of those work yet. Very happy with this speaker.
I've had it plugged into the wall, playing music and the UE Boom app on my phone shows the battery is charging. I really like that I can turn the speaker on and off remotely with the app.
I just hope they update the firmware soon and maybe add actual buttons instead of unreliable tap controls.

Brilliant speaker, great sound and volume. Amazing ports.

Excellent location of ports and their number.
I love that it has an AUX jack.

Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

Third one and I love it this is an amazing product that can handle any situation. Highly recommending these.
Overall very impressed by how easy the functions are, the quality of the sound, the size of the speaker, and the design.
Great interface is very simple and beautiful. There is nothing superfluous.
It's a shame that it can not be used as powerbank. This function would be needed.
Usb connector broke after a month of use. Charging may fall from the connector.
