Ultimate Ears EpicBoom Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Ultimate Ears said the new EpicBoom Portable Bluetooth Speaker takes an oval shape that helps make its “loud, 360° bassy sound more portable, unleashing an unexpectedly big sound for its size.”
The new design projects immersive sound, coupled with a 4.6-inch woofer for clear bass, the company said. An internal microphone adjusts EQ and balances sound dynamically.
And an “Outdoor Boost” button adds 1 decibel of sound anywhere. With the “magic button” on top of the speaker, the company said, you can set up one-touch playlists from Apple Music or other streaming platforms.
With an IP67 rating, EpicBoom is waterproof and dustproof. And it floats, too.
EpicBoom features:
- Allows for up to 17 hours of playtime and has a Bluetooth range of 180 feet.
- Two color choices: Cotton White + Lipstick Red and Charcoal Black + Lime
- One-touch NFC enables easy power on, pair, connect and play. It also makes switching to another playlist/phone easy.
- Carrying strap on the back of the speaker
