UE BOOM is designed to let you share your music with your friends no matter where life takes you. UE BOOM is the first-ever social music player, a wireless speaker that's packed with features that raise the standards of listening to music. It's the first wireless speaker to offer 360-degree sound powered by a rechargeable battery with up to 15 hours of play time. Its versatile go-anywhere shape is wrapped in a plasma-coated acoustic skin that is both water and stain resistant, allowing you to share your music no matter where life takes you. You can also wirelessly connect two UE BOOMS together through the free UE BOOM app (available for iOS™ and Android™) to play in either stereo-to-stereo mode or traditional left/right stereo mode.
