About the UE Mini BOOM
"All that sound from this little bad boy?"
"All that sound from this little bad boy?"
Small size, big sound (pictured in red, next to golf ball for scale)
Rarely does a product live up to its name quite as well as the UE Mini BOOM. You'll get plenty of comments and double-takes from people passing by, who won't believe the massive sound pumping out of this mighty mite. The Mini BOOM measures less than 4-1/2 inches wide by about 2-1/2 inches tall, and weighs in at less than a pound. A pair of drivers and a passive radiator belt out your music, and you control it all with three big buttons.
There's always room for BOOM
Sure, it's small, but the Mini BOOM is pretty durable, too. With a tough rubber shell and hard metal grille, you can confidently carry it in your luggage, gym bag, or purse. Play some tunes when you're decompressing in a hotel room, hanging by the pool, or even working at the office. You can pretty much go anywhere — 10 hours of playback time with a fully charged battery means you won't be tethered to an outlet.
Extended Bluetooth playback with 50-foot range
You don't have to hover around the Mini BOOM to keep the music going. Most Bluetooth speakers can reliably sync up to compatible smart devices within about 30 feet, but the Mini BOOM boasts up to 50 feet of Bluetooth range. Simply push the large center "multifunction" button, and you'll hear the familiar Bluetooth tone. Once the Mini BOOM appears on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, tablet, or laptop, you're connected and ready to play music. Listen to your favorite downloaded music or one of your streaming music services. Whatever audio sources you can get through your phone will play on the Mini BOOM.
Using an assist from the free downloadable UE Mini BOOM app for iOS® or Android™ devices, you can also wirelessly connect two Mini BOOMs together for stereo sound.
Doubles as a speakerphone
While it's cool that your smartphone has so many apps and music options, let's not forget its primary function — making and taking calls. The UE Mini BOOM can help here, too. Rather than having to toggle back to your phone's inferior speaker, simply hit the center button on the Mini BOOM and use it as a speakerphone. You'll be able to hear the person on the other end clearly, and the Mini BOOM's built-in microphone lets you talk back to them with ease.
