Description of UE ROLL 2 Volcano Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Waterproof)

Big, bold, beautiful sound: Sound so loud you will have to shout to be heard; 15 percent louder than the original UE ROLL. Stretchy, attachable marine-grade bungee: Strap the speaker to your bike, backpack, kayak or wherever else you want to take your music. Waterproof: You can submerge UE ROLL 2 in water and it’ll be totally cool (Waterproof for up to 30 minutes and a depth of 1 meter). Lighter than a can of soda: Ultra-portable and so light you will forget you are even carrying it. Go farther: 100 ft. Bluetooth wireless range and 9 hr. rechargeable battery life go as long as you can (Actual wireless range and battery life will vary with use).

Great, but short-lived.

Stylish speaker. It stopped loading until a month ago. No matter what outlet or plug you use, it only says "Critical Power" on it. Already bought a second one before it started - the second one is still alive. But beware.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Great speaker but does not stand upright as shown in photos

Be careful with photos. This speaker is not vertical. I bought this speaker because Wirecutter ranked it as the best portable wireless bluetooth speaker, but I found to my great surprise that the speaker could not be placed vertically as shown in all the photos. The loop shown in the photos that looks like the right stand is actually a rope used to hang the speaker. The sound quality of the speaker and controls are indeed, as Wirecutter says, excellent. However, I need a speaker that directs…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • No instructions

Advantages Easy to pack; durable

Advantages Easy to pack; durable, decent sound quality (true, mono); holds a charge for a long time, receives a signal at a distance of 20-30 feet, remains waterproof after an accidental drop (yes) to a depth of 15 feet (total immersion < 3 minutes); The built-in bungee cord works great. The disadvantages can sound a bit tinny in the highs and washed out in the bass. The stereo system in iOS 10 requires two speakers connected via app. Connecting the USB charging cable to the socket is a…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Negative impression

Excellent speaker overall

Overall a very good product. I'm a kite surfer and strap it to my harness on the water and it allows me to listen to music at a decent volume and quality. The only reason I give it three stars is because the product doesn't have a feature that allows you to skip or pause a song. The only controls on the speaker are power on/off and volume up and down. Any song selection or voice assistant activation must be done on your phone or smartwatch. As this is a product intended to be used in the water…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • No performance

Great product for the price.

We had never heard of the Ultimate Ears Roll until a friend told me about it about six months ago. I was really impressed with the sound quality, portability, build and overall functionality of the UE Roll. I took a closer look at some of them and found that they appear to have been discontinued. However, I found a good one on Revain.com. I ordered that. When it arrived we immediately plugged it in, charged it, plugged it in and started playing our favorite tunes. Our opinion? Very good, it is…

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results
Cons
  • Secret

Good for music, not so good for spoken language.

I was surprised that the UE ROLL2 bluetooth speaker (at least in my box) didn't come with an instruction manual or list of specs. While all of these devices work the same way, each manufacturer has their own quirks; Some speakers require you to press the button briefly to start pairing, while others require you to press and hold it for a few seconds. Anyway, I ended up hooking it up to a small external Bluetooth transmitter that I use with the Grace digital radio. When playing music, this…

  • Electronics

The best speaker I've ever had!

This is by far one of the best purchases I've ever made. First, the fact that this speaker is waterproof is a game changer. I love listening to music when I'm in the shower and prior to buying this I was never able to as I had to leave the speaker out of the shower and the sound of the shower head drowned out most of the music. Thanks to the elastic cord, it can be easily hung on the hook in the shower and your music is right at ear level. The sound quality is excellent. You can download the UE

Pros
  • Portable audio and video device
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Couldn't be happier!

This speaker is awesome! I bought it about 8 months ago and it still has the same amazing sound quality and battery life as when I bought it. At first the shape seemed a bit strange, but now I like it. Now I can have fun cooking, biking, kayaking, hiking and more! The cord on the back is incredibly elastic and durable. Charging times are quite reasonable and the speaker is made from fairly durable materials. I've fallen a few times and had no problems with it. Bluetooth strength is pretty good…

Pros
  • Portable bluetooth speakers
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Really grinds my gears! (Reasonable Guy)

First time reviewer, I never bothered to write a product review before UE Roll 2, the experience really appealed to me. Pros: Before moving on to the expected plentiful negatives, it is worth noting that the product (as long as it works) is quite reliable. Value for money: high-quality sound, comfortable volume range (loud enough for any reasonable use of a device of this size), relatively easy and lag-free connection to an iOS device (via app), elegant design, easy to carry. In terms of "cost"

Pros
  • Portable Speakers & Docking Stations
Cons
  • Update Availability
