An integrated D-ring on the bottom makes it easy to hang the speaker out of the way if there’s nowhere to set it. Hands-free operation is possible thanks to Siri and Google Now voice support. While it lacks some features other portable speakers offer -such as the ability to top up a smartphone battery- the Megaboom does have a few other tricks up its sleeve. That makes for some pretty worry-free music. If it gets dirty, you can wash it off with soap and water. It can take exposure to rain, splashes from the pool or a spilled drink. What this means from a practical perspective is that the Megaboom is a great choice for music at outdoor events. That’s the worst case scenario, like being accidentally knocked into a pool. The UE Megaboom is described as being waterproof, although what this equates to technically is the ability to stay dunked under 3.3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. I’ve been listening to the review unit a few hours daily and only need to recharge it every two weeks or so. It is available in five different color schemes including Volcano, Sugarplum, Sriracha, Pinata, and Atmosphere.If you have two Megabooms, you can take that audio to the next level by wirelessly paring them for stereo sound.īattery life is about 20 hours (depending on volume), which gives a solid two days of music at the beach between charges. ![]() The UE ROLL came out in mid-June and is available at $99.99 on, Best Buy, and other retailers. The UE ROLL can be remember up to 8 Bluetooth devices for easy pairing. It allows you to view the battery status, set an alarm, update the UE ROLL with over-the-air updates, rename your speaker, or even pair a second UE ROLL for dual streaming. The UE ROLL also has its own app for iOS and Android. I tested NPR One and Amazon Music, both worked flawlessly as you would expect with any Bluetooth-paired device. As long as your device supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) on its Bluetooth connection, it’s compatible with the UE ROLL. This did result in greater battery usage from my phone, the same as when I pair a wireless headset, but this should also be improved on newer devices with more recent Bluetooth connections. ![]() The Bluetooth connection gives it a 65 foot range. Using the Bluetooth pairing between my phone and the UE ROLL, I was able to listen comfortably to room-filling audio that still had room to increase (right up to 11). With a Samsung Galaxy S 3 as my daily-use device, it provides rear-facing audio that maxes out its speaker and sounds tinny before even getting to full volume. In my experience with the UE ROLL, it provided a significant improvement to the audio experience of a smartphone. The speaker is rechargeable with a 9 hour battery life through a micro USB port under a rubber flap on the back where a 3.5 mm auxiliary input is also located. ![]() Given the waterproof build of the UE ROLL, the buttons are rubberized and work well enough to provide power and Bluetooth pairing on the back with volume increase and decrease on the front under the plus and minus signs. To promote this feature, some retailers are including a small “floatie” for the UE ROLL that is just a small inner tube with a gap in the center to secure with the bungee cord. The UE ROLL is IPX7 waterproof rated meaning it can be in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The speaker includes an attached marine-grade bungee cord which allows for very flexible usage. ![]() It also comes with a 2-year limited hardware warranty. The flying saucer-shaped speaker feels durable and solid. The first thing you notice about the UE ROLL is the build quality. The company is again finding success with their latest release, the UE ROLL. Ultimate Ears, a Logitech subsidiary, reached well-reviewed success previously with the UE BOOM – a speaker column offering 360-degree sound. ![]()
