Ultimate Ears ROLL 2 Reef Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Waterproof) (2016)

Full rich sound in a surprisingly light package. The shock cord clip allows this to attach to a belt, backpack, door handle, or just about anywhere you are. Quick to charge and easy to use. I use it while walking, fishing, or working around the house. I've gotten it wet twice with no issues. Once on the outside of a daypack during a heavy rain and the other fully submerged when I knocked a pack into the stream. I spent eight hours yesterday cleaning out the basement storage room. I hung this on the wall and started the music. Great sound all day long helped a dreary task go more quickly. You can pair multiple phones with it and switch off songs or playlists. Another feature I like is that if you press the up volume and down volume at the same time a pleasant voice will tell you your remaining battery power (e.g. "sixty percent charge"). There is no guessing if it is charged or how much charge is left. Yes the app also has a visual display on your phone but I don't always use with my phone. There is a mini-RCA (3.5 mm) jack which lets me plug in a portable turntable or an old iPod. I looked at reviews and the UE Roll 2 was in the top three for each of the lists I saw. I went to a couple of stores and got a feel for what I liked and for sound. This won hands down for the combination of sound, portability, and the ease of attachment. I highly recommend.

We need nice quality sound everywhere we go - especially on long vacations. We recently took two of these devices on a 12 day Hawaiian vacation and they performed brilliantly. I highly recommend getting two; you can either have them in separate rooms in mono such that you have the music playing in the bathroom and then in the main section of the hotel room (like we did), or you can position them like satellite speakers and turn on stereo mode when your sitting or lying in bed. The low frequency response is minimal, and with the size and weight of the device I wasn't expect more, but you're traveling with it, hanging it from review mirror in your rental car, and it's light and compact. The midrange is perfect and the high frequencies are crisp and clear without being abrasive. We took it into the pool with us as we swam and played and it rests perfectly on it's flotation device that comes with it (like a mini inter tube). My wife accidentally knocked it off and it sank to the bottom of the pool. No problem - still works perfectly!!

Absolutely splendid product… Highly recommended! Cheers!

Pros Packs easily; durable, decent sound quality (albeit mono); holds charge a long time, receives signal from 20-30 feet away, stayed water tight after accidentally dropping it (yikes) into 15 feet of water (total immersion < 3 minutes); integrated bungy cord works great Cons Can sound a little tinny on the trebles and washed out on the bass. Stereo requires two speakers connected via app in IOS 10. Getting the USB charging cable into the slot is a tad wonky. The waterproof flap can easily become compromised with sand - ensure the groove is dirt/sand free and really check that the flap is seated properly to ensure water resistance as my friend discovered the hard way ... Bottom line Appropriately priced for its quality and intended use: rugged, multiple mounting options, good sound reproduction considering its small and flat form factor. Happy with purchase.

This is by far one of the best purchases I've ever made. First off, the fact that this speaker is waterproof is a game changer. I love to listen to music while I'm in the shower and before buying this I could never really do that since I had to leave my speaker outside the shower and the noise from the shower head canceled out most of the music. The bungee cord makes it super easy to hang it on a hook in the shower and then your music is right there at ear level. The sound quality is great. You can download the UE app and within that you can tinker around with the EQ, it's set at the normal balance right out of the box, but you can select the premade "standard" or "bass jump" modes, or make your own using the EQ modifier. I keep mine on standard since I listen to a variety of music, but everything from bassy EDM to classic rock sounds amazing. The other nice thing about the speaker is that they include a floaty for you to strap the speaker to. I've already made all of my friends jealous by bringing it to pool parties and my lake house, it's great to listen to while you're swimming. Be warned it DOES NOT FLOAT so do not take it off in deep water or else it will sink. Also, I can leave it playing on the first floor of my house and walk up to my room on the second floor and not lose connection, the wireless range is phenomenal​. Overall this is the best speaker I've ever owned. If you're considering buying this or another one of the UE speakers, I highly encourage you to, you definitely won't regret it.

I have an echo, echo dot, and one other “portable” speaker system. But I wanted something I could trust to take to the beach without being ruined! This this packs a punch! The bass isn’t as deep as my echo, BUT for the price and for the size it’s amazing!! The picture I am posting shows the size differential. It’s slightly bigger than I expected but I also am planning to use this at work in the OR. The downside to Alexa is it has to be connected to WiFi. This does not!! I can still use my amazon music, pandora, and YouTube red. I can also use it as a speaker for my phone. I’m in love with this after only 2hrs!! ***update: 2yrs later and I’m still in love with this speaker. So much that i bought a second one. We have recently started paddle boarding and i was so proud to bring out my “Tiny” waterproof speaker. You could hear my music even out on the ocean! Haha. Love it! Only complaint is i can’t get my two rolls to link. Because then me and my husband can basically make our music play in stereo on our boards out on the Gulf of Mexico!

I've had this speaker for two and a half years (purchased for around 5k) and it's still absolutely fantastic. The sound quality and the battery life are still stunning. The speaker occasionally glitches when connecting, but that's the only issue. Super sturdy, been using it in the shower almost every day and no water / steam damage. I've checked out other budget speakers including JBL Go and nothing matches the quality of this one.

Nice looking speaker , come with charging cable , ue floatie Sound quality is very good .Easily to pair with my phone .Very loud sound it can fill up a whole room and even people outside your room can also hear sound bass is good at mid volume .Volume button on speaker are easy to press . This speaker take around 3 hour to charge and battery life is near about 9 hour at about 50 to 60 % volume Overall it is very loud and good bass speaker and it is a waterproof speaker .I tested it and it is working properly after I put it in water for about 15 min. 1) sound quality - 5/5 2)built in quality -5/5 3)battery life - 4.8/5 4)portability -5/5 These are better than jbl speaker and it is very easy to carry

I am in love with this product. This has a amazing sound clarity. It gives superb sound effects when you hook it up to a laptop to watch movies. I must say thanks to all previous reviews which helped me in just opting for the right product for me. Few Pros - 1. Volume is loud enough, so that said half a volume can fill in an Indian Bed Room (11 by 17 Ft) 2. Turn on and off from the UE Roll App on iPhone, so no need to turn it manually. 3. Volume equalizer in the app itself. Cons- 1. Does not connect with my CSR external bluetooth dongle for some reasons. But that does not impact me as my laptop also has aux cables. 2. No Built in Microphone Overall great product and for buyers go for it with close eyes, it is better than JBL.

It's awesome. Very easy to carry it. I love it. But in terms of sound quality it's good but still JBL is better. But still I love it because it more handy. You can travel anywhere with it. In terms of shape and size yes I can say that it's a best portable speaker.

Excellent build quality. The sound is crisp, clear and loud. Have been tested in rains and are waterproof. Battery life is good. Charge time is approx 2 hours using a 2.1 amperes quick charger. Pairing is easy and fast. The Bluetooth range is amazing. Tip: Press volume up and down buttons together to know the battery percentage. Note: This speaker doesn't have inbuilt microphone and call handling capabilities. If a call comes you have to use your phone. This is clearly mentioned in the product page.
