Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • Great sound quality (it's a bit crisper than the Boom 2), sleek looks, and is supports streaming via Alexa and Spotify.
  • I know the UE products are more expensive and have great quality sound
  • The battery lasts a long time, the sound quality is awesome and if youbturn it way up, it still sounds perfectly clear
  • The speaker is great with fabulous sound quality up to the high end of the volume range
  • It has the same awesome sound quality and lifeproofness I've come to expect, with the added bonus of Alexa

Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • With that being said, it’s important to know what features are most important to you before purchasing a portable speaker vs Alexa stationary products
  • A cool feature is that the equalizer can even be personally adjusted in the UE app
  • If you don’t plan on using it as a portable speaker, and Alexa is the more important feature to you, I’d recommend the regular Echo
  • (Lame!)- WiFi connectivity is spotty at best so playback will randomly cut out or completely stop- Alexa mic sensitivity not nearly as good as Echo (frequently repeating & shouting commands)- No 3.5mm aux input
  • That way you would get all the nifty features and updates direct from Amazon

Reviews around ue boom (5.00 of 5)

  • As a portable bluetooth speaker for $99 - this is a no brainer vs the UE Boom 2.
  • Because it was on sale and about the same price as a UE Boom 2 - and I needed a portable rugged speaker - it made sense to pick this up instead of the boom 2.
  • I have other UE speakers and love them, so I figured this would be the best Alexa device out there, much better than the Echo and more convenient than what I was using: an Echo Dot with a UE Boom 2
  • I used to use the UE Boom all the time and got this one as a gift

  • It has good sound, with just enough bass, and decent mids.

Reviews around addition (5.00 of 5)

  • Great speaker, I’ve had booms and mega booms and this is a wonderful addition to the family
  • The Alexa function is a nice addition, but would recommend the UE Boom if this was not on sale and the Alexa function is not important to you
  • (Lame!)- WiFi connectivity is spotty at best so playback will randomly cut out or completely stop- Alexa mic sensitivity not nearly as good as Echo (frequently repeating & shouting commands)- No 3.5mm aux input

Reviews around customer support (5.00 of 5)

  • I have sent the unit info to customer support , and if something is worth commending is the communication interactions with customer support who are actually sending feedback and responding to my emails
  • I called customer support, and they were able to restart the unit doing a three point press key, however, it only worked temporarily and when back to the previous none working condition.

Reviews around bluetooth speaker (5.00 of 5)

  • (Lame!)- WiFi connectivity is spotty at best so playback will randomly cut out or completely stop- Alexa mic sensitivity not nearly as good as Echo (frequently repeating & shouting commands)- No 3.5mm aux input
  • It works fine as a bluetooth speaker, but the wi-fi weakness is a deal breaker at full price
  • It looks cool, and sounded okay, but my 5 year old Bluetooth speaker I was looking to replace never had any issues like this

Reviews around device (3.86 of 5)

  • Will update when I see what Logitech will do with my defective Blast device.
  • It is good and the speaker is good and loud, but it isn't as good an Alexa device as an Echo or Echo Dot
  • MUCH more often the right Alexa device takes the command.
  • I have other UE speakers and love them, so I figured this would be the best Alexa device out there, much better than the Echo and more convenient than what I was using: an Echo Dot with a UE Boom 2

  • spent way to much time trying to get alexa to work with it
  • (Lame!)- WiFi connectivity is spotty at best so playback will randomly cut out or completely stop- Alexa mic sensitivity not nearly as good as Echo (frequently repeating & shouting commands)- No 3.5mm aux input
  • When it did work, Alexa seemed to be much slower than Amazon branded speakers, however I could have dealt with that
  • The Alexa is not good either my Echo Dot can hear me better than this giant brick.
