The Best Portable Bluetooth Speaker

UE ROLL 2 Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker

We picked the UE Roll 2 as the best portable Bluetooth speaker because of its sound, size, and sleek design. It’s louder than most portable Bluetooth speakers we’ve tested and it does it in a body that is unique, beautiful, rugged and even waterproof. It also happens to be the most portable speaker we’ve used. Altogether, these features make this our pick for the best portable Bluetooth speaker you can buy.

Why the UE ROLL 2 is the best?

Sound quality is by far the most important feature of any Bluetooth speaker, whether it be portable or not, and the UE Roll 2 has amazing sound, especially for its size. It also happens to have good battery life, easy pairing and is durable and water resistant, which is great for pool time in the summer.

Our experience with the UE ROLL 2

One cool feature is that you can link multiple UE Roll’s together and play them in sync, making it a fun on-the-go stereo system if you so choose. Finally, it’s well-designed and has a fun look, something that seems harder and harder to find these days.

The speaker keeps the same basic hockey puck design as its predecessor but adds a number improvements. Thanks to the outdoor-friendly design, improved battery life, and integrated AUX cable, it’s a perfect choice for listening to music anywhere.

If you’re looking for a speaker with longer battery life and better sound, and are willing to sacrifice some portability, take a look at the UE Boom 2. It’s waterproof just like the Roll 2 and can go for up to 15 hours of music playback. The PartyUp feature allows you to wirelessly connect to up to 50 Ultimate Ears speakers and takes your party where no other sound system can go.

Great Sound at an Amazing Price

If you’re not looking for something that’s as unique looking as the UE Roll 2, and you don’t care for multiple speaker pairing or water resistance, then the DKnight MagicBox II is a great option.
