Straight from Campus: a UE MINI BOOM Speaker Review

Mom Central received a sample of the UE Mini Boom to facilitate this review. All opinions are Brooks’ own.

College proves the perfect hot bed for music fanatics like myself. On college campuses across the country, listening to music on the go has emerged a huge trend. It’s not just being able to listen to your own favorite tunes en route to class or while working out, but being able to share great music when hanging out with friends from on the lawn to someone else’s dorm room. Like many of my peers, I have my iPhone loaded it up with all my favorite music, including some lesser-known bands I’ve discovered.

Having a great music collection happens to only be half the battle. You struggle with being able to hear my music over the busy community life on campus. I’ve listened to countless stories from my parents about the huge speakers they would lug to campus and then blast music at ear-deafening levels out from their stereo systems through open dorm room windows. But thanks to the latest innovations in both speaker technology as well as wireless, you can now hold an exceptional high quality speaker in the palm of your hand, connect via Bluetooth to your phone, and play music for your friends while hanging out wherever you may find yourselves.

Within the recent innovations of the mobile speaker market, I’ve discovered an elegant solution in the new UE MINI BOOM. This compact speaker packs a punch that could even be heard over the commotion of frats and sororities during rush. The UE MINI BOOM features a battery that lasts up to 10 hours, and simple controls and Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to stream your music from up to 50 feet away. The UE MINI BOOM comes in a variety of vibrant colors such as orange, purple, red, yellow, and black. I’ve been particularly impressed with both the sound quality as well as the speaker’s durability. Its metal frame and rubber casing withstand the wear and tear of being thrown into my gym bag or accidentally being stepped on in the grass.

Now, whenever I’m hanging in my frat’s common room or the lawn in front of our house, I make sure I have my UE MINI BOOM on hand. If I don’t, my friends always remind to run back to my room and grab it, as we take turns listening to everyone’s music.
