Neither will walking away from the speaker with your phone, a classic party foul in the Bluetooth era. With its up to 150 feet in line-of-sight range and plenty of distance even with obstructions appreciate walls or triumphdows, you’ll have to wander pretty far to caparticipate annoying hiccups.
The UE app inserts more selections, including a multiprohibitd EQ, the ability to pair the speaker with up to 150 other Ultimate Ears speakers (if you’re running some sort of outdoor rave), and an Alarm that lets you wake up to the last song carry outed. There’s also a recent megaphone feature that lets you speak thraw the speaker from your phone, which could come in handy for calling the kids in for dinner a la intercoms from the ’80s.
My likeite feature has to be the ability to wake the speaker from standby mode without the need to get up from your lawn chair as you sip a celderly drink. It’s the benevolent of convenience usuassociate reserved for Wi-Fi speakers of the Sonos variety, without the need for a proximateby nettoil. One caveat is that holding this feature on drains the battery more speedyly with the speaker at rest, so you’ll want to save it for times when you’re using the speaker normally.
As for the battery life, UE claims a whopping 15 hours per accuse, though I skinnyk that’s driven. I’ve never got more than around 12 hours in testing, but your experience will vary depending on where you hold the volume.
Midrange Bliss
You’ve got to adequitable sound predictations for any speaker as packable as the Boom 4, but wiskinny those constraints, the speaker provides a relabelably pleasant audio experience. Its dual drivers are portrayed for 360-degree sound, unkinding you’ll get a excellent experience no matter which way the speaker faces, including whether it’s rolled onto the ground or set on its end caps.
The fundamental sound signature dives astonishingly meaningful into instrumental textures, especiassociate talented from the midrange up. There’s a toasty and pulpy punch to instruments appreciate snares and percussion, firm presence in vocals and acoustic instruments, and some sugary clarity rising into the treble, especiassociate seeable with set upational synths and effects.
