Ultimate Ears launches Epicboom Bluetooth speakers

Ultimate Ears - a division of Logitech - has announced the addition of Epicboom to its lineup of portable Bluetooth speakers. Made of 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fabric and a minimum of 59% post-consumer recycled plastic, the Epicboom line-up has been designed to showcase an all-new, innovative, oval design that makes 360° sound more portable, unleashing an unexpectedly big sound for its size.

With an IP67 rating, Epicboom Bluetooth speakers are waterproof, dustproof, and floatable, making them the perfect companion for home and outdoors. When the party heads from indoors to outdoors, Ultimate Ears says the Epicboom’s internal microphone dynamically adjusts EQ and balances the sound accordingly, never missing a beat.

The Epicboom’s oval design creates an impressive internal acoustic volume, and is coupled with a 4.6” woofer for bass clarity and immersive sound.

The new speaker 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 metres. Instead of a fussy manual set-up, the speaker also 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. Additional Epicboom features include an LED battery indicator and a USB-C connector.

Through the all-new Boom app, the listener 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 customise the mids, highs, and lows of the sound based on your personal preferences. These modes optimise sound for solo and group activities including yoga, meditation, parties, beach days, and more.

The fan-favorite feature on the Boom app, PartyUp, lets the listener pair multiple Ultimate Ears speakers together for the ultimate sound experience. And to get the party going in larger spaces, Outdoor Boost cranks up the bass even further.

Logitech says it considers environmental and social impacts as part of every design decision it makes, from the moment raw materials are sourced right through to the end-of-life of a product.

Reflecting this stance, the Epicboom speaker is made of 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fabric and a minimum of 59% post-consumer recycled plastic to give a second life to end-of-use plastic from consumer electronics. The paper packaging of the Epicboom comes from FSC-certified forests and other controlled sources. By choosing this product, Ultimate Ears says the consumer is supporting responsible management of the world’s forests.
