Ue boom speaker reviews11/19/2022 ![]() ![]() As much as I will (mercilessly) mock the advertising and pitch, I come up short with reasons why not to buy this speaker if you need a portable one. And when your branding is this much heavier than any of your published technical specs, I start to wonder what kind of lead is being sold as gold.Īll gimmick aside, I’m going to put this right in the introduction so that you bother to get to the conclusion: If you push all the Marketing 201 drivel to the side (you may need heavy equipment for that), you’re left with a speaker that is worth its price, and worth tolerating the schlock for. ![]() And thus, my interest was piqued – a brand for professional musicians, making a product so clearly aimed towards “social” youth… can it be pulled off with finesse, or is it just an overpriced cash-out of a premier branding?

We’re talking a brand name with some serious pedigree in wireless in-ear monitors for professional musicians since 1995, not some off-the-cuff noisemaker. UE stands for Ultimate Ears, a subsidiary brand of Logitech (since 2008)… but, for those uninitiated, don’t let that scare you off – think more Logitech Harmony and less Logitech $20 keyboard. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not a true audiophile… which might make you wonder about why I’m the one that jumped at the opportunity to review Logitech’s latest consumer electronics gem, the UE Boom (I’m sorry, Logitech, I’m not typing BOOM in all caps – it’s annoying and I know way too much marketing to buy into it). ![]()
