Ultimate Ears UE Mini Boom Portable Speaker Unboxing & Review

[@utubebdb]

I think what they should do is make an option for the doubling up that lets you configure one to handle something like 120Hz and below, and the other one takes 120Hz-20kHz. that way you won't lose the mids and highs when the bass fights it to come through the speaker.

[@LinusTechTips]

I think I've averaged over 1 video per day for about 2 years now... I VERY rarely miss a day... KZbin is HARD WORK. Anyone who thinks it's easy money has never done it...

[@LinusTechTips]

Often companies send review samples to us. There's no way I could afford all this stuff.

[@DrizzyFPS]

oh how things have changed, Linus has come a long way.

[@LinusTechTips]

People seem to think Pewdiepie is either an idiot or a genius. I can't sit through his content so I don't know which, but I suspect it's the latter. Understand this: There's SO MUCH MORE to it than "he plays games and makes a million dollars". It's like saying a pro hockey player "just waves a stick around" or an elite chef "just puts stuff in a pot and applies heat". There is a lot of hard work and a bit of magic that goes into success on KZbin. The ones who succeed know what they're doing...

[@patrickwagner8564]

try using a song that not muddy sounding itself.great review,horriable song to use.

[@ThyTrueMaverick]

I bought my parents a Squeezebox kitchen radio, which is what Logitech now sells as Smart-Radio under the Ultimate Ears label. I was pretty impressed by the sound quality, and I'm definitely not easy to impress (HiFi Audiophile with over 15 years experience). Looks like those Mini Boom might be a really good choice, considering their size!

[@deadthem]

My Mini boom is working flawlessly to this day. I wonder how it compares to the new mini speakers like JBL and the Sony xb13.

[@flanflanjp_]

Got my dad one of these earlier this year. He's a construction worker and loves it. Thing has taken a beating and is still in great condition, and the sound is great, especially after you've fixed the bass a bit with the eq,

[@LinusTechTips]

yeah I shoulda talked about range. It's actually pretty good. Much better than my Rukus Solar, which has abysmal range.

[@Staffasen]

It's great seeing that you do actually read the comments. Gold star for you Linus!

[@HonoredPotential]

Your'e extremely consistent with your video uploads. Where do you get the time to do these videos is it all day once a week, or is it every day every week. Like the reviews and benchmarks though.

[@Un1234l]

Yes. Ultimate Ears is one of the premier audio brands. Most well-known for supplying many musicians and performers with custom in-ear monitors. They're pretty much on the same standing as Sennheiser and Audio Technica.

[@JClappers]

When that music came on, i didnt stop laughing for 10 min :P haha only on linus tech tips

[@FalsePretense27]

I want to see these "Amatuers" do an unboxing, see how hard it is. Roll over, try not to cry, cry a lot. Point being that Linus, is awesome.

[@rjalmeda]

You have the previous version. This is the updated one that looks exactly the same but has a different speaker setup. This is truly the little brother of the UE Boom instead of the Mobile Boombox. To tell if you have the new version you can check if yours has NFC pairing. BTW... Go Hawks!

[@TEDdeMedici]

Ever thought about asking a company for a review sample of some solar panels? That would be quite nice.

[@GoingtoHecq]

I would make jokes about you and Slick being secret lovers, but pink is most definitely a manly color. I love it.

[@Rottypops]

I got lucky and got two "Like New" speakers for $110. They were cosmetically perfect without any signs of wear and tear. To buy the same thing "New" would have cost $70 more. So I consider the UE Mini Boom to be best deal in portable speakers. What I really like about doubling up the mini boom vs one big boom box speaker is that you can place each speaker at separate points of the room.

[@inuyashaspet]

The Ultimate Ears Triple Fi's were the best earbuds I'd ever had... back in the day. Were they bought up by logitech or something since then?

[@Rockabbages]

I used these a while ago, really really good for battery life and portability as well as allround sound and especially bass.

[@CriticalPixel]

You totally should start giving out Linus Choice awards!

[@xKhronusx]

Proof Linus will smack talk bad products. Maybe you should give awards to products you enjoy, that way it's not a scale of 1 to 10 rather a "it was good for its time" type of deal

[@cheezytacos]

I own this mini boom, I bought mine on amazon and it was listed as the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox, the battery life is great (10 hours on single charge), it has a nice range of bass (for it's small size), you can crank the volume all the way up on this boombox and it doesn't distort.

[@umeshwarnathsurendranathan]

I love my pink t-shirt and pink bed-sheets and pink pillow covers and pink everything! Vegeta wore pink and that day pink became the most manliest color ever!

[@dcshoeman2k4]

I had my choice narrowed down between the UE Boom and the Bose Soundlink Mini. There was no doubt about it that the Bose sounded better. The UE Boom is very lacking in the lower end frequencies. The UE Boom does have quite a few advantages over the Soundlink Mini. The companion app, better battery life and it does have a lot more features. It's also half the price (The Soundlink is 200) Ultimately the superior sound and build quality (aluminum case, not plastic) made me get the Bose.

[@chronofusion]

3:08 ( recent pancreatitis survivor and recently released from hospital for surgeries here).....laughing ass off falling backwards in chair...re-injures himself dailing 9 1 1 Well at least it's not goo goo gaa gaa or beiber. Spice girls? xD lol.

[@Remmes]

That may be so, but he unboxed the case a while back and has used it since then. So if it is breast cancer awareness month then it's just a nice coincidence.

[@hunterloli]

UE is awesome!!! LINUS shoud try convincing them to make you a pair of those high-end IEM

[@cheezytacos]

Ahhh I see, I was wondering why the iphone app wasn't working with my boom! So are you saying the audio quality is better with this newer one compared to the UE? I respect the Hawks tho, I'm going to be at Candlestick for the 49er's vs Hawks on Dec 8th

[@stalpinho]

Yes, put keep it exclusive. Not like most sites where everything gets at least a bronze award. Only give it to the stuff which Linus Media Group considers the best of their category.

[@Decco6306]

This was the first thing I ever bought with money I earned by mowing lawns when I was in High School...I still have it :D

[@WeBuild4Life]

Hey Linus! I am looking for a good mechanical keyboard for gaming. I do not need macros and it would be preferred if it was cherry mx switched and back-lit. I don't want to spend more then $80. What do you recommend?

[@LeNico]

Almost 1/2 million subs!!!! Congrats!

[@rodrigomaero]

I want that Aperture Science on the back!!

[@LinusTechTips]

like a boss.

[@markjakobsen1334]

So did the app include an equalizer, or do they expect you to have one natively on your device?

[@TheWargod56]

At that point you would have spent $400 and bluetooth band width would become limited, a better option would be to get A larger more premium portable stereo/boombox for the money that would probably work better.

[@lukasvjohansson]

Does the little "ding ding ding" sound before the outro song remind anyone else of The Sims?

[@BlindFury]

So wait is it like battery powered? Or does it just run off of the Jack's power? Not sure if you mentioned it.

[@protzmafia]

bought a bose soundlink mini about 3 weeks ago. do not regret.

[@Steve30x]

I've heard the XMini Bluetooth speakers are good. I have Xmini wired speakers and they are brilliant but I want wireless speakers for my tablet

[@HardwareJunkie446]

if any of you guys are looking for excellent quality stereo speakers, I just bought some Creative GigaWorks T20's and they sound glorious. some are going for around £60 but if you look hard enough you can find some going for less (mine were £30). they are ridiculously loud and a little big but totally worth the asking price.

[@Joseph-C]

Well, they did chat with him for a while in a live stream once.

[@talrerian2780]

It's perfect here for me. 6:02 in Sydney :)

[@tuna-gunk]

You know what would be interesting? If Logan (Tek Syndicate) and Linus both sat down and did a video together.

[@TheAngelicLion]

Linus you just said the most intelligent thing i think ive ever seen on the internet.

[@LinusTechTips]

Not at all. This is one of my all time favourite songs.

[@wax333]

using the application you download via Google play store or itunes app store on apple

[@cheo2511]

I have a question, my Ue boombox S-10020 constantly reapeat a quickly blue light. It doesn't appear on my device to connect and when i try to charge it the blue light begin flesh again, pls someone help me!

[@PapaSmurf6768]

I thought the Jambox was one of the better bluetooth speakers, what's wrong with it? What's the better alternative?

[@nicobruin8618]

Linus, in your reviews of the amd R9 series you didn't mention what cards they can crossfire with. i was wondering if i could crossfire a R9 270x with my 7850 2GB. i heard that a 270x will be able to be crossfired with a 7870. since the 7850 has the same architechture, does that mean it should work with a 7850 as well?

[@TechLabsPC]

what is that white case on your One in the close-ups? are you finally ditching the pink case?

[@EricTanGH0ST]

That's good to hear then. But what's up with Logitech websites directing us to UE ? They are working together or something ?

[@DeadLaine]

linus, did you turn off the beats equalizer on the htc one? because that messes with other devices bass levels.

[@0927145]

I have this Unit and love it so much I bought a Second one in Red and Black! To match the all Black Unit I Got First.

[@EricTanGH0ST]

Ultimate Ears = Logitech right ? For audio, I usually prefer going straight to professionals like Sennheiser / Audio Technica etc. Portable Speakers , maybe like JVC , Edifier or something ? But Im quite a Logitech fanboy lol , so is Ultimate Ears actually a good brand ? ?

[@GWM-E]

can you do a revieuw of the UE Megaboom? or the new ones?

[@jakemundorf4779]

why didnt they send the orange one

[@TeemoForLife]

Does it really matter? R and black and black looks beast

[@jakemundorf4779]

+Teemo4Life no just it's linus

[@ManuelWendel]

Been watching so many mobile boombox reviews and this is the first to finally show the double up mode! Big thank you!

[@TheAloneActivist]

Can you do more than two over a Bluetooth connection?

[@pappo666]

some one did not pay attention to the video -.- he explained all that and showed how it worked

[@ondramaciarz1330]

Please compare with Beats Pill. Nice video btw.

[@TROLLMCTROLLEDFACE]

He's covering it up. We all know he and Slick are going at it on the down low.

[@DonMoritzio]

Linus, please review the UE Boom!

[@leoslml]

How of the stuff can you keep? Or do you have to send it all back?

[@Tomshwom]

Not really sure why i see a recent influx of people asking about Linus's sexual preferences when he has been pretty much the same forever in his remarks and love for pink, but he seems very comfortable with his sexuality and not "afraid" to express his liking for things that some other men would be cautious about because of the assumption that liking certain colors determines sexuality.

[@blackfireoffire]

i believe he was in the wan show some time back. soo yeah they've done a video together

[@TrapMoneyHenny]

I wonder how many times that small knife has unboxed things in Linus' videos.

[@louiscarrion7725]

2:50 HAHA Linus turn up!!! xD

[@RICKJAMESB4LL3R]

How does this compare with the Anker MP141 in terms of sound quality?

[@CodyS98]

You should test a G-Project speaker

[@AsherTech]

hotspot shield...the days before tunnelbear

[@DerbyMods]

tunnelbear? I don't know her.

[@MomotarosSWORD]

Hey can you do a review on a good portable speaker for Android?

[@TheAlienPvP]

Linus is awesome where do you get all this money to buy stuff fro,?

[@MangosaursRex]

Hey linus i've seen that asus Gpu on that shelf for a couple months now. Since i have no money i was wondering if i could have it ;D

[@JohnnySkg]

i no this is not related but linus can you make avideo about macatz products?

[@marklopez4096]

I have this speakers the bass is the best and 2 me its worth buying .

[@Politica1unify]

Linus always bringing musics we forgot!

[@tylerfields8095]

he's said before he's a top 40 kind of guy and isn't ashamed of it ha

[@therealr0bert]

Actually sounded pretty good being that it just got randomly shot through a voice mic.

[@brucegates9929]

You should implement an editors choice

[@pwnn00bzorz1]

Looking for a good portable speaker to use to play audiobooks aloud in a middle school classroom setting. Thinking about going with this UE Mini Boom. Would you recommend it?

[@-MrRichBiker1967]

JBL FLIP 2

[@SKITTLELA]

You probably want something a lot bigger and more powerful. Dayton B652 with small T amp would work pretty well at ~ $60.

[@PhantomXism]

Yea he has people who edit it but he does a video everyday which is still work and he has a life and a job and a forum and has like a million things to do everyday because of those things so i wouldn't be talking

[@theboostaut98]

Hello, I want to know if one mini boom has two speakers (stereo) or only one. Can you help me please ?

[@Chris23399]

i also wonder that too. i will try to find it out but i leave a comment here so when someone reacts I also know the answer

[@WarChortle]

This is why we need a side ways thumb... some of us don't want to comment AND are more complicated than thumb ^ and thumb v

[@icebreakertech]

Looks exactly like the Logitech mobile boombox, also the same spice...price. Pretty good for a small speaker.

[@icebreakertech]

Why do you endorse hotspod shield? Your internet connection goes through their servers, the can scan all you data and they change the adds on website to whatever they want. Very unsafe to use.

[@tjarsun]

I would kill to have some custommade UE10's: They are too expensive..

[@znder]

Ahh has Linus finally got over trying to put unfunny captions in the KZbin thumbnails? Thank god.

[@roiamichay2780]

Is the difference between the Boombox and the Mini Boom really that big? because the boombox is about 55 $ right now.. And is it compatible with pc/laptops ?

[@patpan8675]

Almost 500,000 Subscribers! Brace yourselves, incoming giveaway...

[@VSGBSTUFF]

Is it true stereo? The website put "stereo" in quotes. P.S. what is your watch? I like it!

[@papermakingpro1]

Pebble smart watch

[@Apple12032]

In norway we have something called: Music Angel, they are verry good :D

[@SuperBo135]

How does this stack up to the X-mini?

[@LinusTechTips]

the rest of the day I'm too busy.

[@dunnoyolo2238]

are they water resistant ?

[@OscarSantos-xp1jo]

dunno yolo no

[@onlyTrollypop]

linus whats up with the pink case

[@n8tivet3ch96]

Are you telling me what I want Linus? What I really really want?

[@Renegade322]

no it actually isnt, he does a lot of stuff with his other channel, he does a small bit of editing himself, he does the live stream, he benchmarks it with the help of slick, and also works to get business deals and requisition no products to do videos on, maintains his server for his site, also work on updates of it, and finally also most likely does payroll himself for his company

[@TheDoodoomilk]

Nice pink case Linus
