This particular type of music is hard to reproduce properly on most Bluetooth speakers I have tried. Lately, I have been getting heavily into the dubstep genre with artists such as Skrillex and Flux Pavilion. The heavy guitar and opening solo were both wonderful and Rivers Cuomo's voice was not lost among them. When listening to Weezer's self-titled debut album, the opening of "My Name is Jonas" was as bone-chilling as I remembered. It has been my experience with other Bluetooth speakers, that bass would either be non-existent or too pronounced with muffled lyrics - not here. When listening to Jeru The Damaja, the bass was appropriate while vocals were clear. In other words, regardless of the genre, music sounds great. While Hip-Hop (Rap) is my preference, I also enjoy music from Weezer, Talking Heads, Lorde and Skrillex - all of which sounded great on the Logitech UE MINI-BOOM.Īmazingly, the sound is very balanced and without compromise -highs, mids and lows are all well represented. For my testing, I played an eclectic selection of music. I was able to test pairing with all of the OSes with great success. This computer is a tri-boot, meaning it runs three operating systems - Fedora 19, Windows 8.1 and OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The first machine I paired it with is my desktop. There is no flexing in the body, and it is wrapped in a durable rubber. The Logitech UE MINI-BOOM is built like a tank but is extremely light. However, I was more impressed by the solid feel. It is so startlingly small, that you can just rest it in your palm. Holding it in my hand, I just had to smile. After peeling off some tape and removing the base, I was granted access to the speaker. It really gives the consumer the ability to see it from all angles while in a store. The speaker comes encased in a block of clear plastic.
The first thing that I was impressed with was the packaging.
