PURE SCRAP. SAVE YOUR MONEY

SAVE YOUR MONEY. Sounds good as a Bluetooth speaker, but as an Alexa speaker it keeps turning off Wi-Fi, leaving you with a deaf, dumb, and dumb Alexa cheater. Oh, and it doesn't support Spotify and doesn't know about other Alexa devices on your account. This is a real POS and is in dire need of a firmware update to at least fix the unreliable Wi-Fi issues, but I suspect this is no longer supported by Logitech as it hasn't been resolved yet despite the many negative reviews. GARBAGE

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Exchange availability

UE does it again with an amazing speaker. Not very suitable for Alexa

If you need an amazing waterproof Bluetooth speaker, then this is for you! That's just a disappointment for an Alexa product. I'm sorry I didn't like this one. I wanted to, but it wasn't as pristine as the Echo dot. After about 2 or 3 songs the wifi started dropping out. I've updated it and tried other networks but nothing but switched to bluetooth. Alexa support is great but I had to shout a lot to be heard other than the point. I have a UE bar that I've been using since it was released and…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • For seniors

If you're an Ultimate Ears fan like me, you need to read this.

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…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Infinitely Sluggish

Perfect EVERYTHING Speaker

I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker that can be used in the shower, at the beach, in the office and anywhere. It's the perfect speaker for almost any occasion. It doesn't have the performance of Bose or other expensive brands, but for the price it has incredible performance. You literally can't go wrong with built-in Alexa. The Alexa functionality is kind of a bonus for this device. This is a great all round Bluetooth speaker but with Alexa built in you don't have to use it with your device…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • No color required

Good sound - if he decides to work!

Ordered in April 2018 and I've waited a few months before writing this to be as accurate as possible. PROS: I was happy with the sound and volume it delivers as is. Loud enough that I can hear my entire one bedroom apartment and portable enough that I can take it to the gym (which I use myself a lot), the beach, the basketball court, the race track, etc. Battery life lasts for a while too, and it's easy to play music or podcasts while charging. I haven't used too many of the Alexa features, but

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'm concerned

I do not recommend

When everything works fine, but there were a lot of minuses. If you don't have Spotify Premium, you can use Spotify on this device not only via Wi-Fi via Bluetooth. Alexa can't tell you what the battery level is, and you need to have both the Alexa app and the pesky UE app to keep switching between the two. But for me the biggest problem I had was not even spending a full day owning this device was in an endless cycle of unresponsive resets. After searching for a troubleshooting solution the…

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great idea, poor design execution

I had high hopes for this speaker. I have a UE Boom and thought the Alexa integration would be great. First, this is a great portable speaker. It has a rich sound and wonderful tones. Any music sounds great on it. I have a couple of issues: First, the Alexa integration doesn't work. I set up my house with a great WiFi signal. I have used this in my bedroom where I also have an echo dot. The point works perfectly every time. It looks like UE Blast has a very weak antenna. Songs fade in and out…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Keep calm
