I recently got UE Boom Bluetooth Speakers by Ultimate Ears for review. They are mine to keep. The speakers are cylindrical in shape and they come in a box of the same shape. To open it, we discovered that we need to slide the doors. The product is from the Ultimate Ears, which is a brand of Logitech. It is priced at 14,995 rupees.
For me the appeal of the speaker is due to its Bluetooth capabilities. I could use it on my travels too. Its Diameter x Height is 5 cm x 18 cm. It weighs only 538g. The product is water and stain resistant, a useful quality in a home which has children!
I am not good at anything tech. I usually run to my nephews for such things. But I could easily pair the speaker with my phone. I tapped the Bluetooth on, both on the phone and the speaker, and lo and behold they simply connected without any problem at the first try.
The sound quality on the speaker is amazing. Tu meri zindagi hai sounds lovely on it. I live in a duplex, so I left the phone in the living room and started to take the speaker to the various parts of the house. It works outside. It works in both the bedrooms upstairs. When I try to take it to the balcony with the phone still in the living room, the connection becomes erratic.
At my home my husband is the sound and music person. He plays the violin, he records his songs, he sometimes goes out and plays at events too. He practices violin almost everyday for a few hours, all this with a full time job and a wife who travels frequently! Speakers and sound are his forte. He has quite a collection of speakers but he immediately started using UE Boom with his laptop. It can be used with a wire too.
I can also imagine how much my trekking guides would like the speaker. They like to play music while camping, I am much more of the book reading type. Even though the speaker has a maximum charge of 15 hours, our treks are of 4-5 days at least with no electricity on the route. That is one problem to be solved.
Overall, I quite enjoy the UE Boom speaker in my daily routine. It is fun to leave it in one corner of the home and control it with my cell phone. I am yet to take it on a trip though.
It looks super cool ????????
It is fun to use too 😀
Looks good, specially the colour.
Month back I purchased same but of JBL. Bluetooth speakers are very convenient.
This is my first bluetooth speaker. And I agree they are great fun!
Seeing its cost, would like to know about Paisa Vasool factor?
I think it is still paisa vasul but if I were buying I might wait for the prices to come down maybe?
All the Logitech products as computer peripherals I have used have been good. This speaker too looks good but seems a little steep.
Yes Bushra I agree about the price.
I like the color and it looks portable, perfect for travel
I have listened to some of the songs Sheshadriji has played those were shared in Youtube 🙂 It is inspiring to know more about him…
About the speakers, may be it is expensive because of the waterproof feature? Chic gadget to own, anyhow!
Possible Sindhu, I also feel prices come down after a while for electronics!
That is such a sweet and honest review, loved reading it 🙂
Thank you Shweta.
A great review. The speaker looks too cool 🙂
Thank you Purba.
Thanks for the review Mridula. I am getting this soon!
Though I might wait for sometime for the prices to come down a little bit or for some offer.
I agree Arun, it makes sense to buy when prices come down!
