It has a really nice sound and the range is perfect for it.

I was originally looking at another more expensive speaker but after reading some reviews I settled on this one and was pleasantly surprised. It has a really nice sound and the range is perfect for what I'm using it for. The only downside to this is that you can't tell when the charge is getting low. It would be nice to have some sort of indicator so you know when the battery is low. Other than that I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Good performance
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Doesn't hold a charge

The sound of this speaker is good. My problem is the battery. I ordered this column in August 2017. I took it for a river rafting trip and it stopped turning on. When I tried to charge it and turn it on it kept repeating the startup chime for hours so I just stopped charging it. About a week later I received a replacement delivery. This speaker worked fine for a couple of swim trips, but stopped charging after the last one a few weeks ago. I have connected multiple chargers to the port and the…

  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Very expensive

$100 for a 100% great speaker

The sound from this little device is amazing. I was expecting good sound quality as UE (owned by Logitech) makes great products. However, I was surprised at how much you notice the low tones and bass on this thing. It's full-bodied and multi-directional, giving you good coverage wherever you stand in relation to the speaker. It also gets quite loud, so if you like it, you won't miss anything here. It seems strong and durable. The included charging cable is flat, so it folds up easily and won't…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • No power

Disappointing: Portable speakers and docking stations

I've never written a review but I think people should know what they're buying. I bought 2 of these for about $65 each. Not cheap, but not expensive either. Both worked great. I had one for work and one for home. I thought it was good value for money. Life became very messy and I didn't use them. Both are free of charge. When I went to use them again. I charged one and after a few hours I wanted to use it. He was dead. The same thing happened to the other one. Googled it, apparently this is a…

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Zero Customer Support

The day after the product arrived I set it up and got an incredibly quiet sound. I've tried disconnecting, reconnecting, charging, reading their FAQ page from top to bottom several times, and finally creating a support ticket on their FAQ page. I'm glad Google helped me find the FAQ page as the only site they provide with very limited documentation is one that says the domain may be for sale and is clearly not their site . I received confirmation that it was received after submitting my support

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Modern

Excellent portability. Questionable quality at maximum volume.

I compared 3 similar portable speakers (same price around $100 each): JBL Flip 4 - best sound quality of 3 (amazing quality - very similar to Bose Soundlink Mini) - no noticeable crackling at max volume with high treble in music - Strongest/deepest bass (my desk wobbled at max volume) - Very loud max volumeUltimate Ears WONDERBOOM - Less than JBL 4 but more than Bose Micro - Crackling at max volume on some songs at high volume Treble (not expected) - Bass not that strong (very weak bass) - Very

  • Hands-free

I won't buy any other Bluetooth speakers for the time being.

This is my third product from the Ultimate Ears team and one of my first favorites. I've had the UE Mini Boom for years now and it still serves as my everyday speaker when I get up in the morning and travel. I also bought the UE Boom which I like but it's a little big for everyday use and travel but great if you need a louder speaker (picnic, party etc). However, this thing is the perfect size (about the size of a softball, I'd say) and actually seems to get some lower frequencies than any of…

Pros
  • Feel good
Cons
  • Volume

Good sound from a small package

For a speaker of this size I am very impressed with the sound. Good clean crisp sound with good bass. My main reason for choosing this speaker over others is that I wanted to use it next to a pool and bathtub. He has already taken a dip in the pool and I am happy to report that he survived with no problems. I've gotten pretty good use from charging, but I should note that there's no audio jack to plug into your computer. music source. *Updated November 8, 2017* While I will keep my four star…

Great speakers for 60€!

I bought this after buying another branded speaker at a lower price that didn't work properly. It cost about $20 more than the other brand but with a huge improvement in sound. I am very impressed with the quality and sound of this little speaker. It's about the size of a softball, seems very durable, it bounced when I dropped it off the couch onto the floor. wet environment without worrying about it. In addition, it is backed by a 2-year limited warranty. It gets really loud, I doubt I'll ever

Pros
  • Portable Audio Video
Cons
  • Some Cons

Very impressed with the sound-to-size ratio of this speaker. I was actually hesitating between 4 and 5 stars, but the sound is so good for this size that despite some small flaws (lack of sound and battery level not so easy) I decided on five. I accidentally dropped it from countertop height onto a tile floor and it was fine. The big plus and the vertical line are the volume control buttons. The water resistance claim does NOT mean you can swim on it in a pool (you can submerge it one meter…

  • Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Cons
