Epicboom portable wireless Bluetooth speaker from Ultimate Ears

Introducing the Epicboom, Ultimate Ears presents a formidable and highly portable wireless Bluetooth speaker renowned for its waterproof capabilities. This speaker is touted to deliver immersive 360-degree sound that can fill a room with volumes reaching up to 95 dB.

The Ultimate Ears Epicboom, while not particularly compact, stands out with dimensions of 16.2 x 11.9 x 24.1 centimeters and a weight just shy of two kilograms. However, its size is a trade-off for more powerful audio output.

Under the hood, the manufacturer has outfitted the speaker with a 120-millimeter woofer and two 45-millimeter mid-tweeters, capable of achieving a remarkable 95 dB volume. The design of this portable wireless speaker is intended to project sound uniformly in all directions, facilitating versatile placement. Additionally, an adaptive equalizer adjusts the audio output to suit its surroundings.

As for durability, the housing boasts an IP67 certification, ensuring protection against dust and even accidental plunges into the pool. Ultimate Ears claims that the speaker can withstand falls from heights of up to one meter.

With an integrated NFC chip, the Epicboom can be effortlessly paired with Android smartphones via a simple tap. Bluetooth Multipoint support allows the speaker to maintain connections with two devices simultaneously. Moreover, users have the option to configure the Play button to automatically start playing playlists on Spotify, Amazon Music, or Apple Music with a long press.

According to the manufacturer, the built-in battery offers an impressive 17 hours of music playback. For added convenience, the associated smartphone app enables the synchronization of multiple Ultimate Ears speakers through the “Party Up” feature, allowing them to play the same music simultaneously.
