Ultimate Ears BLAST

The Ultimate Ears BLAST is a portable Bluetooth speaker with Amazon Alexa built-in for voice control on the go. This rugged, waterproof speaker (IP67) delivers 360-degree sound while providing hands-free Alexa access for music, smart home control, and information queries. The 12-hour battery life enables all-day portable use.

WiFi connectivity enables Alexa functionality when connected to your network, while Bluetooth provides music streaming when WiFi isn't available. The speaker floats in water and survives drops, making it suitable for pools, beaches, and outdoor adventures. The compact cylindrical design produces impressive sound with punchy bass from UE's signature tuning.

Multi-room capability groups with other UE speakers through the UE app. Note that UE has shifted focus away from smart speakers, so the BLAST represents their previous Alexa-enabled lineup. For users wanting rugged portable audio with built-in voice assistant, the BLAST provides durable smart speaker functionality for active lifestyles.
