Design
UE BOOM is designed in a great 360-degree shape that carries the sound in all directions. You can bring it everywhere and clip almost to anything because of the D-ring. UE BOOM has the dimensions of 2.72 inches X 2.72 inches X 7.09 inches (6.9 cm x 6.9 cm x 18 cm) which means it is medium sized speaker in the market and perfect for carrying around. The weight of this device is 1.22 pounds (553.38 g). That means it is light and does not add any big weight for any carriage.
UE BOOM is available in many different colors. Speaker has very modern look and may be attractive to young people. The body of this speaker is covered with advanced water and stain resistant acoustic skin so you can use it without worrying that the speaker might get dirty or wet. Removable rubber cover protects USB/AUX cords. At the top of the speaker you can find power and Bluetooth pairing buttons. On the side of the speaker there is a durable rubber spine with volume controls. At the bottom of speaker there is Micro-USB charging port, 3.5 mm AUX and the removable D-ring with ΒΌ – 20 tripod mount.
Sound
Maximum sound level of this device is 88 dBA and it has a frequency range from 90 Hz to 20 kHz. BOOM is much louder than any other wireless speakers in this category and the sound is very clear. Everything of that is possible because of the two 1.5″, 4 Ohm Drivers and two 2″ Passive Radiators. Sound quality when it is plugged in to power outlet makes no difference when it runs on a battery. If you pair up these speakers with the help of UE BOOM app, it can make a great stereo for household or parties.
