![]() The top buttons and volume controls are entirely intuitive, augmented by nice drum-like power and pairing sounds, plus a beautiful spoken voice battery remaining system you can press the volume buttons together to make UE Boom vocalize how much power remains. Beyond the iconic look, which is different from most competitors and yet consistent with both prior UE Boombox designs, UE Boom also feels great in the hand, and offers a cool interface, besides. Having seen dozens of speakers in UE Boom’s “ultra-portable” size category, we feel strongly that UE Boom has one of the nicest overall designs in its class. (* Updated: See the bottom of this review for new details.) Instructions suggest that a rubber port cover is also supposed to be included, but we didn’t find one in either of our review units’ packages. Ultimate Ears bundles each UE Boom with a flat USB charging cable and boxy wall charger, both coated in soft touch rubber. This ring is the speaker’s only odd feature, as nothing specific is provided for this purpose. The rubber edge is designed to face forwards, with huge + and – volume controls in contrasting colors, while the bottom has micro-USB power and aux-in ports alongside a flip-out, detachable D-ring for attachment to a camera tripod or lanyard. Up top are small power and Bluetooth buttons, each with their own tiny white indicator lights. Offered in six different color choices, it’s shaped like a tube, standing 7” tall with a 2.5” diameter, just slightly bulging thanks to a rubber grip that runs on one edge from the speaker’s top to the bottom. Unlike Logitech’s earlier UE models, which were all based substantially on Logitech’s earlier, non-UE speaker designs, UE Boom is a completely new product.
