There's also NFC support - sometimes referred to as 'tap-to-pair' - which works with certain smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4.

#UV BOOM SPEAKER BLUETOOTH#

(Certain smartphones, such as the Samsung's Galaxy S3 and S4, support aptX streaming, which allegedly offers better sound quality for Bluetooth transmission, though it matters less with smaller speakers such as the Boom.)

#UV BOOM SPEAKER SOFTWARE#

And while there's currently no aptX support, company reps said that could be added at some point through a software upgrade. The speaker will remember up to eight devices it's been paired with, which makes it easier to make a connection once you've set up the initial pairing. I also tested it with a Samsung Galaxy S4 and achieved similar range. But outside 50 feet isn't as far as you think the connection with my iPhone 4S started to break up when I walked off into the yard with my phone (I looked back at the speaker on the patio and calculated that yes, indeed, I was at right around the 50-foot mark give or take a few feet).

UE says the speaker has a range of about 50 feet, which is better than the usual 33 feet that your typical Bluetooth speaker is rated for. The Boom charges via USB and comes with a lime-green AC adapter. Over the course of the day, I stuck it on a table out on the patio, left it sitting on a bench near the edge of a basketball court, and perched it in a small tree, wedged between two branches while doing a little pond fishing (the fish didn't seem to mind and I took some perverse satisfaction in equipping a tree to have speakerphone capabilities). However, my appreciation for it grew when I took it outside. Yeah, it delivers good sound for a speaker its size, but at $200, it's pricier than competitors such as the JBL's cylindrical Flip and Charge, so I was expecting a little more, particularly in the bass department. What's interesting about the speaker is that using it indoors I was initially a tad underwhelmed. At 1.2 pounds, it's not heavy, but it's also not light and has a little bit of heft to it. That means you can wash it should it get dirty, and UE is marketing it as a speaker you take with you everywhere you go - indoors and outdoors.
