So, it does leave us asking who might choose it over the stellar competition…
So, one of thebest Bluetooth speakerson the market then?
The Epicboom is smaller than the talented (but rather somber-looking) 2020-issueUE Hyperboomand much bigger than theMegaboom 3.
Yes, we like matching our nail polish and scatter cushions to our speakers.
Because PartyUp is not compatible with any Wonderboom, Blast or Megablast UE speaker.
Anyone familiar with theLogitechbrand knows that UE rarely wades into premium territory with it’s funky-fresh speakers.
What does the pricier Ultimate Ears proposition offer?
Finally! The Epicboom is a big UE speaker with a USB-C charging port.
It is one of thebest party speakersfor sound I’ve heard in some time.
Two words: tough competition.
I set the radio station Apple Music 1 as a preset and it works beautifully.
Unlike smaller UE speakers, the Epicboom’s buttons are easy to navigate and understand.
It’s both classyandcute.
That is not the case here.
My one issue with the design?
The Epicboom is a hefty beast and despite looking smart, this strap doesn’t really help.
But that’s a small thing in an otherwise delightfully classic Ultimate Ears design.
Should I buy the UE Epicboom?
Look to Sonos, friend.
Epicboom’s nifty ‘BOOM’ companion app offers all the control options you need from your paired device.

To test the omnidirectional sound quality, I danced around the Epicboom in ever-decreasing circles.
Ive been testing audio products for five years now.
