UE Megaboom and Boom 2 speakers now have the ability to control over Siri and Google Now voice integration. Now that UE Boom 2 and Megaboom have been updated, now its very easy and convenient for all users to control UE speakers via simple Voice command.

Charlotte Johs, general manager of Ultimate Ears, said: “Music lovers can now truly stay in the moment, playing their favorite song from the middle of the pool or even while diving off a cliff with their UE speaker in hand. No matter how wet, muddy or wild the situation, with Siri and Google Now voice integration on UE BOOM 2, fans no longer need to pick up their phone to play DJ. Now, they can just say it to play it.”

How to activate voice integration on UE speakers

For iOS, all users need to press the Bluetooth button on your UE speaker once. You should hear a tone and the Bluetooth button will blink on and off, indicating that Siri is listening. Just say is “Play Miley Cyrus music” or “Play Justin Bieber music”. No need to run the UE speaker app in the background.

For Android, firstly make sure the UE app is running in the background, press the Bluetooth button once. You should hear a tone and the Bluetooth button will blink on and off, indicating that Google Now is listening. Now give a Voice command like “Play Jazz music” or “Play Rock music”.
