The UE Roll 2 arrived and in about 3 minutes I was listening to crystal clear music. Now, it takes a while to fully charge so I had to plug it into my computer to help get it charged (it will take probably 5 hours to fully charge the speaker), but right now as I type this review? I have enjoyed listening all afternoon now.
The speaker comes with no instructions. You might want to use a YouTube video to learn a bit more about the device. The "plus" and "minus" on the speaker are the volume up/down buttons and the power button is on the back.
This is a very lightweight speaker that fits in your hand. It is water resistant (it also comes with a small inflatable floatie to place it in while you are in the pool). Still, I'm not fond of the idea of dropping it into a tub of water and waiting to see if it still works after a few minutes of being soaked. LOL.
Seriously, it is easy to use with great sound and appears to be very very well made. I took a couple of pictures of this UE Roll 2 as it is currently plugged into my computer (to charge it) while it plays music from my iphone. The box indicates music can be played from up to 100 feet away from the device. Right now, my iphone is across the room from where I am so I cannot attest to the 100 feet assertion on the box right now.
Would I buy another of these? Absolutely. Just the fact it is compact, good price and apparently great quality makes this one of those MUST have blue tooth speakers for your home, near the pool and it would be easy to pack and take on trips.
Five big stars for this top notch device.
