Review on 🔊 Ultimate Ears BLAST: Portable Waterproof Speaker with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Alexa Voice Control - Blue Steel by Joseph Neal

Although there might be a way to set up Alexa with the old Boom and Mega Boom apps you have on your phone or tablet; do not try. GET STARTED by finding the Ultimate Ears BLUE SQUARE app in your app store. If you're having trouble "freshening up" your speaker, try Sleepy Hour. Then it works fine. Apparently the UE server was overloaded. So far I've found 2 issues that doesn't make it like "Fancy ECHO": 1) To wake Alexa up, you have to press to wake up Alexa after a wait, e.g. B. after a night's sleep. You just can't say "Alexa, what time is it?" 2) Sirius XM doesn't seem to be supported. I even unlinked my Echo and reconnected it and it won't pick up. HOWEVER, I can still pair it with BLAST via Bluetooth and my phone. There is simply no such thing as "Alexa, play Sirius XM". After connecting Bluetooth, you need to remember to end Bluetooth connection to get Alexa back.
