Logitech rolled out some gorgeous boomboxes and headphones this week, and my favorite is this Logitech|UE Boombox. It's so lusciously rounded and tastefully designed that I was tempted to prop it up on my shoulder and carry it around all day, old-school.
The $249 Boombox will rock you for eight hours on a single battery charge, and you and seven of your closest friends can wirelessly pair up your Bluetooth devices with it at the same time.
You expect a lot of sound for $250, and the Boombox delivers. It's not super-loud, but you can tell Ultimate Ears (UE) -- the precision audio company bought by Logitech and whose legacy is demonstrated in this product -- had a lot to do with its stellar sound quality. Pairing it up with a variety of devices, I was impressed with its rich and well-balanced sound, with plenty of bass punching out the front and the back, complemented by pleasant-sounding midrange and tightly focused high frequencies.
On one side of the Boombox is the on-off switch with a small battery indicator light underneath, a Bluetooth pairing button, an auxiliary input and a 3.5mm auxiliary audio jack.
Taking up the entire other side is a huge volume control, which I wished could crank the sound up a bit louder, at least to 11.
At the same time, Logitech introduced its Mobile Boombox, available in a variety of colors for $99. Its tough, rubberized construction makes it feel like a high-quality device in the hand.
I got a Mobile
Boombox from Logitech, and it has similarly clean audio quality in the
midrange and highs. Of course, because of its small size, it loses an
octave or two on the low end. Still, it cranks out a surprising amount
of sound for its diminutive size, and sounds better than any other
speaker of its size I've heard.
