Logitech's UE Boom Blue-tooth Speaker
I just wanted to pass this along,,, DO NOT BUY THIS P.O.S. SPEAKER!!! I went out to bestbuy looking for a blue-tooth speaker now just like Alton Brown I'm a big fan of multi-taskers especially when I comes to RV'ing, so after looking at the myriad of blue-tooth speakers available I see this "tall-boy beer can" sized speaker and thought "hey,, this'll fit in the cup holders in the golf cart, the center console of the boat, i'ts water-proof so we can bring it to the pool, the beach, it's wireless so I can sit it next to me by the fire-pit or the bar,,, this thig is EXACTICALLY WHAT I NEED!!! So next the kid at bestbuy tells me it's got the best sound and the battery lasts (according to the manufacturer) up to 15 hours so "I'll take it" say's I and $180 sheckles later i'm off to enjoy my new speaker. now mind you this thig does sound great and was easy to connect with my I-phone/I-pad and such BUT,,, the friggin' battery only lasted 2 to 2 1/2 hours so thinking I had a defective speaker I bring it back to bestbuy for a replacement and it too only lasted 2 to 2 1/2 hours so then I start the process of dealing with Logitech and that's when the fun really started. First off I want to put out that being a PC gamer iv'e bought almost everything computer related from Logitech and been very pleased with their products but iv'e never had to deal with their customer service so after 31+ e-mails and countless hours being placed on hold either waiting for their staff (off-shore of course and my Latin sucks) I was told even at full volume the speaker should last at least 8 hours and to give them time and they'll look into it which I did,, 6 months later I was offered a refund after arguing my case right up to their corporate people!
This speaker does not perform as promised, do not waste your money, I instead bought the JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker which is water-proof, ect,,and has a far superior sound quality and I've yet to kill the battery!
