I agree with #StandUrGroundNFight
Bose soundlink mini = Indoor use. Hotel rooms, bathrooms, living rooms, condominiums, bedrooms etc... Perfect choice. I have this speaker and it struggles outdoors especially when you try to compensate it with higher volume.
UE Boom = Outdoor use. Pool area, beaches, garden, parking lots, streets etc... Perfect choice. I've tried this indoor and the boxy sound is quite apparent due to its design of higher mid and high freqs.
So if you're unable to get both, decide which environment will you use the speaker more.
Thanks for this, this actually helped me decide to go with the UE. You should review things!
Thanks Gameboyboy17. Glad to be of help. Enjoy!
yup
The UE boom 3 also haves a boxsy sound and I don’t like that
I bought the UE boom, and some of my friends have the Bose SL mini. They both sound great but Bose has a better bass. Still, I chose UE boom because I don't feel like I can bring Bose to the beach or to a garden party or to any outdoor activity, it just doesn't look and feel like that. It looks great but it feels like it's for indoor use, like at home, or at a nice office. But the thing is, I don't need a bluetooth speaker at home, the main reason for me to buy this is to use it outdoors, especially at the places that I mentioned above like sandy beaches, or when camping in a forest, or at a garden barbecue party etc. It handles those conditions great.
StandUrGroundNFight Good point!
StandUrGroundNFight can anyone with bluetooth change the song?
Withano Lo Only if you're connected to the speaker
Paul Mori Thanks. Is there any way to connect a laptop to it or would I need the app on an iphone/android?
Withano Lo
You can connect anything to it that has bluetooth on it
Auditioned both in a noisy crowded city store. I started playing a track listened and just walked away as far as I could till the music was no longer audible for each unit.
I only got about 5 meters from the Bose before I could no longer hear it, however with the UE Boom, I had to walk out the store across the way into another and I could still hear it (one). Up close the both sound great and I'll give the Bose +points for a slightly richer fuller sound but if your going to use this outdoors or in your home while the guy across the street is mowing his lawn (or any other background noise), get the UE.... I bought two of them and when positioned in the right position ( I found corners best) and paired via the app they sound amazing.
I turned them up at home wandered up the street, I could hear them from two houses away. I also purchased the Blaupunkt Monaco and it's loud and clear, has more bass than both the UE and Bose but it's just a little too large to carry around and is in a different class.
The Bose Soundlink Mini comes with a charging dock inclided in the box and it also has a micro USB port on the downside of it.
Nice review
I would say both of these portables are strides ahead of the competition, but I personally prefer the Bose. Although it doesn't hit as high a range as the UE Boom it has a fuller range. I own both, and I have decided to re-gift the UE. Just my opinion if it helps anyone.
Thanks for your input!
I was listening to this at my sister's house the other day. She had it playing in the kitchen and I was in their movie room, (2nd floor, other end of their house) and could still clearly hear the Bose Soundlink Mini. I was really impressed by the clarity and qulity I could still hear from so far away.
As someone who works for a company that sells both, the Bose Soundlink Mini is by farrrrr better!
I have been using the UE Boom for a few weeks and have been very impressed. The best packaging of any similar product by far.
The UE Boom sounds clearer but the Bose has more bass. I just can't decide!
beastfighter1 Bose
The UE Boom has great sound with a battery life that can last over 15 hours. About 7 hours at full volume. I have two and take them everywhere, from work (mainly outdoors) to biking . If your looking for a speaker to sit on a desk get the bose everything else get the boom.
I have the Bose and love it!
Mae Braswell great . The bose are ok if you don't need/want it loud. At lower volumes they are top notch get it over half way and the sound tends to distort. Plus it can't be twinned and you can't have a long time away from an outlet. Other then that the bose would of been my pick.
I have both and the bose is better the other one was a waist of money
My wife bought me the UE Boom after going to Best Buy and listening to the young people that work there. We as older folks don't have the sound talents. I did hook it up for Christmas and it was really awesome out on the pool patio area. I kind of like the shape as it stands anywhere and sounds everywhere. I think it seems it would have much more portability used outside the house. I LIKE IT. I liked the video post too. Great job.
Don't know what kind of accent that is, but I find it very nice and enjoyable. You are very well spoken. Great review.
I went with UE Boom. Depending on the size of the space you are using it in, you can use the mobile app to do some simple EQ. I got it for $180 CDN on sale. Now, I am a music guy so I wanted good sound on the road...so I actually bought two. I love the feature to be able to pair them through Bluetooth in the app and you can run them stereo. The sound is amazing as I travel and am in hotel rooms and they easily fit into the front pocket of my travel bag. I listened to the Bose and though it does sound amazing, it was missing some of the higher frequencies that really make the UE Boom shimmer.
UE Boom also takes phone calls and is NFC compliant!
Oh...and 1 more thing... UE Boom app has an alarm clock function that will wake you at the specified time. :)
Who had it on sale for $180 in Canada? Both FS and BB have it at $220 regular now.

The UE Boom's battery cannot be replaced. Once the battery cannot keep a charge in a bout a year or two, it's a brick.
Trilce it can be replaced
Professional reviewer ! thx dude
I've gone through about 7 different portable speakers (Thanks yo PC Worlds instant replacement) I've had the UE Boom, Soundlink colour and now have the Soundlink Mini. In my opinion, they're two totally different speakers and are both amazing. The UE's good if you just want volume, but at high volume (which it does with ease) it just doesn't sound great, i was forever trying to get more bass out of it, portable amps (which meant I had to use the aux cable), separate EQ and the UE's EQ. It just doesn't produce a full sound. However, i was stunned with the amount of bass the bose produces, it's truly astonishing, it may not be as loud, but the sound is so much more pleasing and although it doesn't go as loud as the UE, i was never seeking for more volume. The bose is also surprisingly strong, (maybe not as strong as the UE) but it's had quite a few falls, off my desk, off my outside wall, fell out of my bag and actually it still looks new and is fully functional. In my opinion, go with the Bose, it's got more than enough volume to fill an average size living room and it fills it with great sound, and in my opinion, it looks more premium and stay looking premium, unlike the UE that picks up scuffs too easily!
hmm. I enjoy Bose's more "intense" sound. Very nice warm feelings/good bass. But Logitech offers clear sound. In this case, I would choose Bose since it seems to offer a more permanent satisfaction of sound. But both seem great from this awesome review!
I've got both. The are both awesome. main differences for me: the UE edges for outdoor toughness (parks, picnics, beach, etc). The more fragile Bose definitely has better sound quality.
thanks for this very detail review !
guess i made up my mine ! UE Boom!!!!
+yoyo yeah cool! thanks!
+nvghhll516 piss off bose sucksss
My friend introduced me to the UE Boom, we were dancing down Rue Oberkampf collecting strangers on the way to the club! So many tears I wish I had the money to buy a UE Boom!
trippy as hell -.^
If you can't afford one of these I think you have bigger problems then portable speakers.
Thank you it is a very detailed, clear, and helpful review
Thanks!
Gamamori Best video i found on TH-cam !! Exellent comparison, i bought the soundlink mini ♥
Mr360III I'm glad it helped! Thanks!
If you want good sound, get the BOSE soundlink mini. I purchased the UE boom, tried it out and returned it back for a BOSE. The UE boom sounds muffled. Yes, the Bose has a shorter battery, but I'd rather have a shorter time with good sound rather than listening to poor sound longer. The UE boom might have an app and other stuff but if a speaker cannot produce good quality sound, then I think its failed its purpose. The UE boom sounds ok until you hear the BOSE. (In case you are wondering.....I bought the UE boom just because the demo UE booms at the store were not working, I heard the Bose and wanted to give the UE boom a try)
There is no debate on this that UE is much better in sound quality and is user friendly.
😅
you habe never lostened to the soundlink, have you? it sounds waaaaay better because the lows are so good. the UE boom however sounds like shit outdoors.
Would never by something from Logitech 😆
+Nick Dreikausen lol ok bud
The Soundlink mini is the boss of bass when it comes to portable stereos
Watched this video, purchased the EU Boom and I'm loving it. Nice review
Coming from someone who has 2 UE booms and a Bose mini the Bose is better for sound quality and build is stunning. The booms are better outdoors in stereo and are more rugged ... Hope this helps someone choose!
David Sheehan Thanks for your input!
Does the boom still have decent bass or is it pretty rubish?
Danny Edwards It's just ok
UE Boom sounds "muffled" compared to Bose Soundlink mini. Basically because underneath the speaker grills in UE Boom there is a layer of material there to insulate the speakers from dirt of water wich greatly supresses sound. You really have to hear them in person, sound quality through videos greatly depresiates clarity . Another thing to remember is you sacrifice sound for "splash resistance" with UE Boom which is no where near wate resistant. Just letting you guys know because I did the test and Bose takes it in sound.
Can't decide? Just buy both like he did in the video.
On the Bose sound link mini you can hold down the power button for a few seconds and it will show the battery status as well
Biggest failing of Bose is calling it SoundLink and not allowing the speakers to link to each other... #awkward
They know their speaker and that's about it.
I'm pretty sure that you could fix the higher frequencies with settings, if it had any. It sounds a lot more roomy and I like that a lot. It is why I use my old pc speakers and a subwoofer in my garden. It allows for a much better stereo effect.
They should really hire someone under the age of 60 to investigate what people would like to buy. I would pay double for the bose if it didn't look like a 1980's alarm clock, was at least water resistant and had an app and a decent equalizer, digital limiter and maximiser, digitally tweakable to my liking of course.
On top of that I would design it with detachable wireless left and right speakers and a woofer with a dock. I would even go so far as to put in a center speaker in the dock and a quick button to toggle a setting that slightly boosts the ~4kHz range and lower the rest, to enhance speech without having to tweak the equaliser or remember what profile I used before that, just so it's easy to switch from music to a news item and back and have optimal sound for both with just a toggle button.
That's not their market though unfortunately, they would risk alienating their current customers and undermining their utilitarian/professional image, the closest you can get with bose is a more "modern" sleek looking model like with Sony's products. Bose is and always will be whites, silvers and greys because that is what we come to expect from a majority of their products.
What about the UE "Boom" not having much bass? ;p
I bought the UE Boom a few months ago and I've not been disappointed. The battery lasts amazingly long (I used it on houseparty for like 6-7 hours of straight listening with 30-80% volume and after that time it got 70-80% charge left). Also firmware update came some time ago to boost up bass and it really helped. Tweaking EQ also helps a bit to bring more bass. I also needed speaker that had to be rugged so I can carry it with me wherever I go.
If you want the best sound and bass (and maybe that replaceable battery) choose Bose, otherwise I would not hesitate to buy UE Boom.
Good solid, no-bullshit review dude. Keep it up :D
DanLiveOnUTube Thanks!
I prefer the Bose. It's very easy to use and a lot more powerful than it looks, even with what was shown in this video. The only thing I don't like about it is that it didn't come with a Auxiliary cord and a carrying case. It's a very delicate device, and it costs almost $30 extra for a color skin that only protects it from "scratches or abrasions", and almost $50 for a travel bag. A lot of the comments that I have seen on this video has really missed a very important factor in the UE Boom. Gamamori says that the UE Boom claims to provide up to 15 hours of talk time, but at the HIGHEST volume, it only lasts up to THREE TO FOUR HOURS. That's AROUND the same amount of time that the Soundlink Mini gets, and it only lasts up to 7 hours. I have the Soundlink Mini, and the longest that it has gone on the highest volume is 3.5 hours. I wish it had some of the features of the UE Boom, such as the app, being able to know exactly how much battery is left, etc., but the Bose is very powerful, and I won't have to worry about having to replace it just because the battery is irreplaceable. THAT'S RIGHT, the UE Boom's battery is not replaceable. This means that you'll have to buy a whole new set of speakers if something happened to that battery. That's a deal breaker for me, so I'm sticking to the Bose.
WHAT ABOUT THE UE BOOM'S BATTERY???
I found out that the UE Booms battery is not replaceable and that the company has no real plan of action for replacing the battery once it burns out. So after 2 to 3 years the battery is going to die out and i'll be left with a really expensive brick??? Thats bullshit !!! I dont want to keep buying a new Boom every two years because of the battery! If im going to pay $200 for a luxury speaker (and i did....starting to regret it) i want it to last!!
Great comparison review, thanks. I am going with the UE Boom due to the ability to use two together as Right and Left channel for true stereo, plus I wan't to be able to control the volume remotely. Thanks heaps for the comparison, was really helpful
Thanks! I'm glad it helped!
basically the UE Boom gives out 360 degree sound
waterproof and shockproof
compatible and modern as well as easy to use
charge lasts up to 15 -17 hours
not too heavy so is mobile and outdoor loving
The Bose is none of the above but is great for listening and chilling at home or cafe or music directing only towards you with a spliff maybe as it sounds so damn good.
both cater for two different occasions
why not buy both
one for spliffing and the other for active outdoors (jobs a gooden !)
I'm curious as to why nothing was mentioned about the Bose docking station that comes with the unit. You get a charger for on the go and one for your nightstand/ desk.
cause both cost a lot in my opinion
+sabbel babbel something costing a lot is relative to a person's overall income and still doesn't answer my question
***** i was referring to "why not buy both". And yes ofc its relative to income, but eg in germany the bose and the ue boom cost about 340€. And that is, relative to just buying one box for 170€ twice as much.
Also, relative to other bluetooth speaker these 2 are pretty expensive
You didn't mention at all that the BOSE comes with a docking station which can be used to charge the device by just putting it on there and the cable will only go into the dock. I think that is an awesome feature.
Rob Ztar I didn't mention it in this video but I did in the previous video that was dedicated for the Bose
I was gearing more towards the UE Boom, but I will be getting the Bose instead. I'm primarily getting one as a desktop speaker. Taking it for travel is only secondary. UE Boom's charging port is at the bottom. Meaning I have to lay it down when it's plugged in to a wall, and that is not its ideal position when turned on. While the Bose can be plugged in as is.
why don't you just turn it upside down when you're charging? I'm sure you don't need to use the power cable on a regular basis...
This test clarifies my choice. I got the UE Boom about a month ago and it's great. The Bose sounds somewhat flat (muffled might be a better word, because I heard a lack of clarity). Depending on the position, you get a reasonably enjoyable amount of bass from the boom (also depending on the song). Love it. Good review.
my cousin has UE and yeah sure it's a bit louder but the louder u put it the uglier it gets. Bose just balance everything plus base is muuuch better than the EU
I must say that this was a great video. I heard both speakers in BestBuy and the UE Boom sounds great, clearer and louder due to the highs but there is NO lows. The features alone would have me buy it. However, I went with the Bose mini. Great all around sound and good bass for its size. The bass is so good that the housing couldn't even handle it as it jumped off the ledge of my upstairs loaf and fell all the way down the stairs of my house.
Thanks! I also liked both speakers but favor the Bose for the same reason as you.
I would go for the UE
+Elias RodriguezZz Bought mine on Amazon has the best price www.amazon.com/Bose-sdSoundLink-Bluetooth-Speaker-Carbon/dp/B00WK47VEW/?tag=ref10-20
Stefan F Good looks
***** I kinda wanted a UE Boom but ight
+Elias RodriguezZz Bought mine on Amazon has the best price www.amazon.com/Bose-ssdSoundLink-Bluetooth-Speaker-Carbon/dp/B00WK47VEW/?tag=ref10-20
+Stefan F fuck you
i had the opportunity to test both, i purchased my sound link mini almost a year ago and my buddy got the UE as a gift recently, they both good speakers, i have to admit that the ue boom is def louder but not "clearer", mids are also more pronounced on the ue however i think it lacks the bass and crisp highs as the bose, the ue also does a better job playing out in the open, while bose recommends to place the speaker close to a wall for optimum bass response, i can honestly say you can't go wrong with either just choose whatever fits your needs, i personally value sound quality over "loudness" so i'm keeping the sound link mini for it's bulletproof design and sound quality
Bose Headphones and Bluetooth speakers are like their only products that aren't overpriced. They are high quality, sound great, and not too too expensive for what you're getting.
+infamousian123 idk what you're smoking man, Bose headphones are pretty damn overpriced. I love my Bose QC20s a lot but god damn were they expensive.
I went for the bose. Love it.
i have seen the CNET review and they say that BOSE has it Waterproof too
I have not seen or heard that yet
Oh!! Sorry, they selling the case, and the case its making the BOSE Waterproofed
Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker Now only $199 On : amzn.to/1h9F2dY . Advanced audio performance delivers a full-range listening experience
The most compact speaker from Bose easily goes where you go
Wirelessly connects to your Bluetooth device
Rechargeable battery plays up to 7 hours
I thought the battery life would get better on the UE boom but I was only getting 5-6 hours or so at 50% volume and barely over 3 near max volume. Nowhere near the claimed 15. Then I got to thinking that I really only listen to music in my work vehicle, so I don't really need all the nice features of the UE Boom. I also wanted to have some Stereo seperation. That made me go all-out and trade up for the BOSE Sound Link III. I decided not to get the more affordable Mini because I need long battery life since I spend many hours a day in my work vehicle.
It was hella expensive for a portable speaker and made even more expensive when I had to buy the $35 dollar case to protect my purchase. But let me tell you Mr. Gamamori, I have NEVER heard such brilliant, clear, and perfect blend of Base coming out of a small speaker. People have no idea how great the sound of BOSE is until they get it into there home and hear it after some equilizer adjustments. What you hear from the display in a store does not do it any justice. I'll update later if the battery life is close to what's advertised.
Thanks for your input! The Bose does sound great and I am a big Bose fan but I was hoping for even better sound out of the 3 than what it delivered.
My experience is very different. The battery life on this thing has blown my mind. I'm as happy as can be with my purchase.
ue boom sounds nice but its flat and boring, soundlink mini is more expensive but i bought it because its fun to listen and it made me happy :) buy what makes you happy. in my opinion bose is a better choice :)
You sir, provide one of the best reviews. You clearly explain how you're going to compare the products and what you'll be doing which helps us understand easily. Thanks!
the bass of the bose took over everything so you can't hear higher frequencies so that means that ue boom is better
+Dimitar Genco For music I listen to (mainly pop) it does help to have some good base. I also never found the bas too overwhelming when listing to other music. The base on the bose is a positive people!
I've tried them both and a combination of these two would be the ideal for me!
The bose bottom and mid range with the open and airy trebles of the UE. The ruggedness of the UE and a Bose like charging dock. The form factor of the UE (to put it in the cup holder when using it in a car without bluetooth) and the build quality of the Bose.
The sound quality of the UE is amazing on all accounts except bass (wich is a dealbreaker for me), it's really 360 degrees.
The Bose can be a bit muffled unless you're listening to it from straight ahead. And the sound changes quite a bit if it's standing next to a wall. On the other hand, it's really amazing to hear such a powerful sound from such a small speaker.
Another speaker to consider is the Cambridge Audio Minx Go, which sounds really good and is very reasonably priced. But it doesn't look as cool as these two!
The Bose as verry better to the UE Boom , im recomended for you to buy the Bose
The bose can produce all low sounds (which the UE totally failed to emit)
but the quality is like someone having a sore throat or blocked nose. I think the UE Boom is superior.
Why cant all reviews be like this. Excellent with no babble.
After watched this video I decide to buy Bose
Thank u
好吃六塊雞 I'm really happy it helped making your decision!

i don't know if this was mentioned in the comments, but the Bose Soundlink Mini will NOT perform as a speaker phone if you get an incoming call while listening to music. The UE Boom however, CAN be used as a speaker phone. If its just going to be in your house get the Bose. Bose is extremely high quality audio and everyone knows that. Bose has great bass as well. If you want to bring the speaker with you everywhere, get the UE Boom.
bose!!! always bose!!!
What I wanted is the features and everything for the ue boom..I don't like much bass because it kills the quality and clear sound..I'd rather choose a clear sound and a fair bass..I liked Bose it is really great but not for bluetooth speakers..thanks mr. Gamamori
Or instead of combining the two, use a quarter of the money and make your own that is louder, clearer, and whatever design you fancy.
what do u mean
I mean to build your own speaker that is better than these two for like $50 at most
how do you do that
By buying speakers and an amp and connecting them.
Marcus Coster Portability?
From the review I feel that UE Boom got the better sound (i.e. similar to surround function). I decided to go for the Boom. But when I arrived at the store, I tried both speakers and Bose got something quite different. So I'm with a Bose now. I guess it's maybe because of the distance from the speakers to your camera and/or the height of the camera while UE Boom was basically "standing" and the Bose was "lying". Either way, thanks for the indepth review, it's a pro one!
At the time of the video I used my cameras microphone which didn't really reproduce the sound quite good. The Bose does sound better, has richer sound but a little less highs.
I like ue boom
You forgot to mention the Docking Station and the fact that you can also press and hold the on/off-button to see the battery level. I also have to say, that I really love my Soundlink Mini, because it really (as you said) produces amazing bass and I'm just into music with a lot of bass.
couldn't use better music to test these speakers
Great comparison!
I think the mini sounds better but I think the boom is much better for portable use. so i think it really depends on how you're planning on using these
Bose looks like my alarm clack
Brandon S never hear the word alarm clack
Brandon S heard*
Kings Swashstar You also made a mistake
Clack
EU looks like a teenage girls speaker
considering i have a nice surround sound at home and am looking for something better outdoors i would easily go with the ue boom the bose doesnt look like its even meant to be portable it would get super hot in the sun with that metal
TH-cam needs a poll option
Now it does 😁
let me add that every review tells you that Bose lacks in treble, but will almost always tell you that the bass is incomparable. These are two very different technologies. Bose uses space to produce sound in great depth despite the size of the actual product. So it sounds like a larger system than it actually is. Other companies use drivers that have a single but loud frequency. Depth is not a factor. I compare this to listening to your music with a loud speaker.
you mean that the bass on the megaboom is awful ??
I have the megaboom and it sounds alright to me
Mohamed Elmasry this video is about the ue boom not the ue megaboom. two different speakers
I went bose.
I dont usually comment but the review in this case was very simple, well laid out and informative.
Thank you!
!!! UE Boom !!!!!Thank for Heavy Metal
Ue boom sucks and Broncos suck
+Blur Icy piss off
+Jettish1463 u too
+Blur Icy who shit in your cereal
Great review. I was deciding between the two and you gave good points and an unbiased analysis on both. Thanks
The Bose is awesome
ZOZO FERRET crap talking.
I have the ue mega boom and so does my friend and we doubled them up and they are so loud you can't hear the people next to you I would buy the ue boom or mega boom for sure
Fantastic Video!
well the reason for the UEBOOM not to blast so much perfect sound is because it's waterproof so it has not so much place for the sound to escape, more by vibration
Logitech is much louder and sounds better
No I think bose is better
Except for the bass (seems like they're selling cheaper speakers, but better engineered, meh)
max ops only bass and treble, no mids !!
The UE Boom's instruction manual gives the details on battery replacement. So disregard star lord's ignorance :) Everyone has an opinion. Get whatever you think sounds better.
max ops logitech are you serious 😹
This is the best tech review I've ever seen on TH-cam. It's thorough and professional. Keep up the good work and thanks. :)
UE boom wins for sure . I'm sorry Bose lol
honestly, the set up in the video was not a good one to be able to properly make a judgment call. I've listened to the Bose speakers in stores and they sounded way better then this microphone's recording.
+Doge Decoco I've listened to both in stores jackass , ue boom does sound better to Me
+Doge Decoco your just salty you know you boom is better you're just trying to make yourself feel better that you bought the soundlink
Well, both products are pretty tied. The boom has crisper higher frequencies that make it ideal outdoors while the bose has richer basses that make sense in a home.
+Mike Kunz
Roasted
aux input on the bose makes it real good, balanced and bright highs. the bose bluetooth dac overemphasize the bass
ue boom is best bose all midrange sound
+john thomson and base.
Picked up a ue boom today. Absolutely love it
dont buy the ue boom it's suck's the battery dosen't even last an hour, trust me i hade to of these
Hogwash, I have 2 of these and the batteries easily last 12 hours
you should check out the jambox and the big jambox... ya they are a little pricey if you get them at a store or at their website (but its totally customizable that way) but on amazon the regualr size is $100 bucks and the big is 200... it has all the same features as the ue boom as well as live audio 3d sound algorithm that works great which was developed at princeton
bose is not the best
StoneSideDeathGrip yup i owned bose acoustimass 10. bose soundlink mini i dont, but i hear the sound its fair though. why dont you try the JBL bluetooth speaker great sound less xpensive
get yourself a Nad Viso one if you wana hear a real bluetooth speaker
Renesh Rambalie might as well just carry around a 5.1 home theater with you...
StoneSideDeathGrip How many bluetooth speakers have you owned though.
www.whathifi.com/nad/viso-1/review
I had a bose soundlink mini. It sounds the best! I highly recommend this bose SL MINI
I am going to get the bose i think, but as far as not having a replaceable battery in the UE boom, i'm sure there will be some videos out there showing you how to replace it if it does wear out in a couple of years, and by then it will be out of warranty so why not tear it apart and change it out? You can probably even upgrade it to a better lithium ion battery for $10 or so.
Testing them with rock music was what I needed. I can cross bose out of my list. Thanks.
I've just bought the UE Boom and im very impressed, I was after a speaker I can take in the garden for bbq's and outUE about with me, my mate has the Bose mini and it is a excellent speaker no doubt, but I get the feel it's better for indoors but the UE Boom suits my needs better.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
I just bought a UE boom and after not being able to find the device on my laptop, was told by tech support that it was incompatible with my laptop, and I'm only left with the option of returning it. Wtf? I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world but this seems ridiculous.
I love my UE Boom that I've had for several months now! I also really enjoyed your audio test here. Just to give my opinion: Audio is by its nature very subjective and many factors can effect the sound quality. I have never tried the Bose product, but I love how the UE Boom bluetooth works. The way it makes that bongo sound doesn't just tell you it's on, it tells you it has successfully connected. It also is I think designed to be held (just look at the ads for it!) and to me that's useful.
Note to reviewer, you really shouldn't assume that a manufacturer's statement is false without even attempting to test it. I just bought this 3 days ago and I can assure you the battery lasts much longer than 3 to 4 hours, as your wild guess suggests. I started with a full charge, jammed out at 50-80% (very loud for this speaker!) for about 2 hours before going to bed. I left it playing at around 20% all night while I slept for around 7 hours. In the morning I checked the batter and it was still at 80%. I've been jamming this thing off and all day without charging it and it's still at 30%. This thing is amazing, don't sell a major selling point short by pulling made up data from your bung hole. Just sayin.
THANK YOU for comparing the speakers with classical music.
+Lisa Brown lol my pleasure
UE sounds more of a treble type of speaker if you like songs with high pitches and bose mini sounds like a bass type of speaker for people who like rap and hip hop music...
On the Bose Mini you can hold the power button and it will display the battery light in accordance to the approx. battery life whether the unit is on or not.
The bass actually ports out of the back of the Soundlink. For this reason I usually have mine placed about 6 inches from a wall as it reflects and amplifies the sound. If you put the mic behind the Bose unit, you'd hear even more bass.
Ultimately, neither of these speakers are designed to be used for a house party. At night, when everything is quieter and I'm winding down for bed I need only turn the Bose up a couple bumps for rich full sound, even at low volume.
Just ordered that Bose Soundlink Mini. Thanks
went away with 8 friends to Queensland. took my UE and another mate had his bose. everyone on the trip was really impressed with the UE, even the bose owner. It's a much better PORTABLE speaker. dropped it several times, got it wet, got sand on it at the beach, no issues. it louder, has the perfect amount of battery life, and it gets better with every firmware update (although it still isn't free of glitches).
Bose=great base,good sound,perfect for parties and loud music
UE= Loud sound, Sound adjustments,app,waterproof
I have both and I can say it's a hard decision between the two. I'm deciding which one I should return now. I'm leaning more towards Bose but UE has me with the app n waterproof thing other than that Bose sounds better.
Personal opinion
Thanks for your excellent review, the best and by far the most comprehensive I've seen. You answered all my questions - the main one being I was worried from reading various reviews that the UE Boom is useless after the battery finally dies. However, I gathered from your comments that I can still use it if it is plugged in to a power source. The UE Boom is on sale and priced A$135 (US$114) at the moment whereas the Bose SL mini is still around A$200. So I'm guessing at this price the UE Boom is a no brainer (?). Planning to get this today. Cheers
So you got it? Are you happy with it?
Should have done a long distance test. I work retail for both these systems and can tell you that the Mini is the only small bluetooth who's surround sound can fill an entire warehouse clearly with very little distortion.
Really nice review! Thanks to this video I decided to UE Boom due to its characteristics and I´m really happy with my decision!
Good review on both speakers. I just received the UE Boom as a bday gift and it sounds great. You mentioned the lacking of bass...well they now have an update that has an EQ mode to increase BASS.
Thanks and Happy B'Day! It did have some eq settings on the app before too but maybe they improved it since.
