Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I Compared a dozen or so Bluetooth speakers side by side playing music from my phone including the main competitor to the UE Boombox, the Bose Soundlink II. It's important to hear the same sound source when comparing units which is what I did. BTW, the music I like is mostly classic rock, country, and pop. What I like about the Logitech UE Boombox: o Sounds great in a big room o Beautifully constructed o Portable o Plenty loud enough to use outdoors or in a large space (only a few Bluetooth speakers are in this league for overall volume) o Clear highs that don't "beam" as much as many competitors (Try this... step to the side and compare the volume of symbols as you move in front of the unit from say 20 feet away... they are not as directional (more uniform)than they are in the Bose) o Easily links to my phone (although most speakers I tried were equally easy) Things I like less about the Logitech UE Boombox: o There is no battery charge level indicator when it is playing. It's Not a huge deal, but I'd like to know it needs a charge before it goes dead. I leave it on the charger when I'm not using it. Why did I buy this instead of the Bose Soundlink II? o Side by side, the Logitech UE Boombox has much clearer high end than the Bose. o The Bose has a less emphasized mid-bass, (which I prefer) but I found that overall for classic rock tracks (Springsteen, BTO, Boston, etc) the Logitech sounded the best. Eventually I'll forget what I paid for something, but I'll always remember if it worked as I expected. The Logitech UE will make me forget the $250 price... it is great.
