The link to my Mac or my Samsung smart phone is extremely simple via Bluetooth and works flawlessly at greater distances (in open spaces better).
There is for the UE and Boom Boom Mini own app make (only for smartphones, both Android and Apple), which is more user friendly and with which one can set an alarm clock 1 for Speaker 2. minor adjustments to Bass / Vocals etc 3. can a second UE boom can be connected (also combined via Bluetooth, are not yet in UE and UE Mini Boom Boom)
Personally, I am fully satisfied with the sound settings that can be make with the app. However, this would be for true connoisseurs probably insufficient. Furthermore, I still have not found any app for the computer, which is a shame and einschränkent. I play music on the laptop off and wants access to the EQ, so I must only connect my phone with the boom, make settings and then re-connect with the laptop. Therefore, a half-star deduction.
The boom can be made very loud without Einbußungen the sound quality to bring about (as loud as a lawnmower, I've been told). The description "360 °" I find extremely suitable, because the sound is from every angle inspiring despite wind and other confounding factors.
Two buttons are located on the boom to adjust the volume, which are a good size and must be pressed with a little more forcefully. If you go namely it can not come to accidental volume changes by.
Furthermore, there is a button for Bluetooth and an on / off, which also require emphasis and are accompanied with a sound while operating, which is like a short drums. I suspect that you can this issue on the app.
When operating the actual box I see no defects!
On the subject of protection can say some positive things:
To protect the cable openings on the boom a suitable, small rubber cover is supplied with that does not dissolve by itself and dust, sand and water splashes in front prevents ingress. The speaker is also coated with a material that repels just skillfully this speaker enemy and allows the user to enjoy the carefree everyday life.
One shortcoming I see with the white plastic that's been designed and that the boom can not slip einwach, but one must be careful here that the white rubber does not discolor. Here I see a problem in sand etc. that could easily color the material. Scratches are more easily seen at these points. But this should not put you off, because of which his loving Boom treated on the beach and put them on a clean surface, should hereby tend to have fewer problems. (For this a half star deduction).
I am vollstens for the price-performance ratio. For his money to really get good quality that lasts a long time! In enriches the Bluetooth speaker, there are clearly more expensive, afford the same or less.
All in all, this Lausprecher for indoor and outdoor use a sound sensation that accompanies a in all sorts of activities and it does not take a quick foul. Friends and family are thrilled that so everything is in the little thing. Moreover, it's a damn cool design!
