Packed in a sleek casing that comes together when purchased at retail outlets, the UE Boom weighs at 538g. While travelling, the speakers can be placed in a bag or can be hung from your as it comes with an easy to hang hook for those who prefer that. The speakers come with a 15-hour rechargeable battery.
With cool colours of Blue, Red, White and Black, the UE speakers are water and stain resistant. This is a good function to have, in view of Singapore’s sometimes weird weather patterns. This has been tested by Darren (http://www.darrensim.com), but please DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
(Doesnt it look delicious? Hehe!)
UE speakers are easy to operate and have been created with simplicity in mind, doing away with the typical manuals. One swift press of the button turns on the speakers and another to set it to Bluetooth pairing mode. The huge buttons for the volume make it easy on the fingers when partying! A shortcut, when the volume buttons are pressed at the same time, it will reveal the battery percentage, so that you know when to charge your rechargeable battery. With a 15-hour rechargeable battery, you’d probably not do this too often.

As an added advantage, a mic is also included for the UE Speakers to be used as a speakerphone.
For Android smartphones (with NFC capabilities) connecting to the UE speakers could not have been made any easier. A simple tap on the UE Boom with your smartphone is all you need to get connected. For those with smartphones without the NFC capabilities, not to worry you are not left out, connect with Bluetooth, and you’re all set.
With two drivers, the bass that the UE Speakers give out is apt for its nifty size. Upon connecting with my smartphone, it does take a while for it to hook up with both speakers for the first time through the UE Boom app. Subsequent re-connections yielded better response time. However, you have to connect one speaker first through the smartphone OS and the other through the app. This is also the reason why I got two review sets instead of one.
Another shot taken at the UE Boom launch party. On the left, that is the same speaker that was tested with the tomato sauce and it washed off cleanly with water and... still works!
The other two colours available in Singapore are Blue and Red.
Each UE Boom is priced at S$299 (SRP).
