Product features

EPICBOOM is available in two sleek colorways: Cotton White + Lipstick Red and Charcoal Black + Lime. The speaker allows for up to 17 hours of playtime and has a Bluetooth range of 55 meters. Instead of a fussy manual set-up, the speaker has a one-touch NFC feature available for NFC-compatible smartphones with Android 8.0 or later. The sensor establishes a Bluetooth shortcut that allows users to simply power on, pair, connect, and play, also making it easy to switch between multiple people’s playlists within seconds.

All-new BOOM app

Through the BOOM app, which is updated as of today, you can choose between different pre-set EQs including Signature, Bass Boost, Game/Cinema, Podcast/Vocal, and the all-new Deep Relaxation mode. You can also customize the mids, highs, and lows of the sound based on your personal preferences. These modes optimize sound for solo and group activities including yoga, meditation, parties, beach days, and more. The fan-favorite feature on the BOOM app, PartyUp, lets you pair multiple Ultimate Ears speakers together so you can kick your parties up a notch. Wirelessly connect EPICBOOM, BOOM, BOOM 2, BOOM 3, MEGABOOM, MEGABOOM 3 and HYPERBOOM speakers for the ultimate sound experience. And to get the party going in larger spaces, Outdoor Boost cranks up the bass even further.
