Furthermore, if you buy two you can listen in stereo or double-up the sound. But it can also be leaned against a wall or hung on a hook vertically to get more directional sound. The UE Roll is designed to lay flat to spread music in all directions. The downside is any track controls have to be handled from the connected smartphone. Hidden beneath a pull-tab on the back are two ports - micro USB for charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack for an almost pointless wired listening option. The plus/minus integrated buttons on the top facade handle volume up or down. A pleasant audible drumbeat chime plays when powered on and successfully paired. Initial and subsequent pairing was immediate when re-connecting to the same device. There are two buttons on the bottom - one for power, the other for Bluetooth pairing. The UE Roll claims 9 hours of music listening, which is impressive for a speaker this small. However, it’s extremely portable and just plain fun to use.
It’s small enough that you’ll want to take it with you or attach it to something, but just big enough not to fit in your pocket. Plus there is a bungee strap on the back to hook it on anything. It doesn’t float, although an included baby “floatie” can keep it from sinking should you find the need to take it in the pool or bathtub with you. The UE Roll is drop-proof and waterproof (IPX7 certified) to 3 feet under water, and ideal for use at the pool or beach. But you can actually do both at the same time! The speaker is unmistakably small, and you’ll be tossing it around like a frisbee (or discus) almost as fast as you’ll be listening to it. Ultimate Ears today announced the UE Roll, a discus-shaped, ultra-rugged, waterproof Bluetooth speaker for $100, and we have an exclusive review.
