UE Roll: Saucer-shaped waterproof Bluetooth speaker

2015-06-16
hi I'm David Carr leg from cnet.com and this is the Yui roll a hundred dollar waterproof Bluetooth speaker it comes in multiple color options after the UE boom and mega boom this is the third wireless Bluetooth speaker in uese line and instead of sticking to the cylindrical design of those earlier models it's gone with a discus shape for this less-expensive speaker what's nice about it is that you can lay it down flat or pull out its integrated bungee cord and hang it from whatever you want including a showerhead overall the speaker has a nice sturdy feel to it and it's got some heft to it as well weighing in it eleven point eight ounces or 336 grams a built in rechargeable battery is rated for nine hours of music playback which is pretty decent and the speaker has a 65-foot wireless range which is double what your typical Bluetooth speaker offers there are volume controls on the top of the speaker but no pause play button or speakerphone capabilities as I said this model is completely waterproof ipx7 certified with a set of ports that are sealed off and it can be fully submerged however it doesn't float but if you buy the role from you e's website you do get a little life preserver with your purchase so you can have this speaker hang out in your pool or another body of water the sound is very good for speaker this size and price and the speaker manages not to distort at higher volumes however you're not going to get as much bass or volume as you would with the UE boom or mega boom but that's why it costs a good deal less than those speakers you can't make left and right speakers and create a stereo pair like you can with you ease boom speakers but joining the speakers together allows you to project sound over a wider space I'm David Carr noise that's the UE roll thanks for watching you
