UE BOOM SPEAKER FOR SALE SOFTWARE
And while there's currently no aptX support, company reps said that could be added at some point through a software upgrade. The speaker will remember up to eight devices it's been paired with, which makes it easier to make a connection once you've set up the initial pairing. I also tested it with a Samsung Galaxy S4 and achieved similar range.

But outside 50 feet isn't as far as you think the connection with my iPhone 4S started to break up when I walked off into the yard with my phone (I looked back at the speaker on the patio and calculated that yes, indeed, I was at right around the 50-foot mark give or take a few feet). UE says the speaker has a range of about 50 feet, which is better than the usual 33 feet that your typical Bluetooth speaker is rated for. The Boom charges via USB and comes with a lime-green AC adapter. Over the course of the day, I stuck it on a table out on the patio, left it sitting on a bench near the edge of a basketball court, and perched it in a small tree, wedged between two branches while doing a little pond fishing (the fish didn't seem to mind and I took some perverse satisfaction in equipping a tree to have speakerphone capabilities). However, my appreciation for it grew when I took it outside.

Yeah, it delivers good sound for a speaker its size, but at $200, it's pricier than competitors such as the JBL's cylindrical Flip and Charge, so I was expecting a little more, particularly in the bass department.

What's interesting about the speaker is that using it indoors I was initially a tad underwhelmed. At 1.2 pounds, it's not heavy, but it's also not light and has a little bit of heft to it. That means you can wash it should it get dirty, and UE is marketing it as a speaker you take with you everywhere you go - indoors and outdoors.
