Towards the top (or bottom, depending on which way up you like to sit it) there is an open mini-USB port that's the only danger zone when it comes to liquid.Īs well as being positioned flat or stood up on either end, the UE Boom is also designed to sit on a tripod mount, or hang by a tied cord via the included metal loop. As the hours passed so did the beverages until the combination of wonky surface and stumbling feet caused inevitable spills - the Boom took more than a good swig of beer and survived unscathed. And we should know - the UE Boom lived with us for five days in a 12-man tent at Glastonbury festival 2013 where at the beginning of a four-hour downpour a slightly soggy Boom sat in the centre of our tent and delivered the tunes to appreciative ears. The mesh material has been plasma-coated for waterproofing, which means the whole unit can survive a soaking. The near-cylindrical shape has been designed to project sound at near-360-degrees for a uniform delivery of audio in open spaces, and it genuinely works except for an ever so slight shift in top-end if the main rubberised panel is at a specific angle to the ears. But the UE Boom is not just striking to look at, it's a well thought-out product in its design too. It's available in six colourways - pink and red, blue and white, black and grey, blue and yellow, white and red, or plain white each with a rubberised main panel and mesh-like material finish.
