Surprisingly punchy bass and balanced mids give this compact portable a bigger-than-expected sound, aided by passive radiators and a single active driver, while smooth treble keeps listening fatigue low. Durable construction (40% post-consumer plastic), USB-C charging, Bluetooth multi-device pairing and a quoted 12-hour battery life make it a feature-rich value proposition noted by ecoustics.
Pros
- Passive-radiator design delivers surprisingly strong low-frequency performance for the speaker's compact size.
- Modern connectivity with USB-C charging, Bluetooth pairing for two source devices and a long quoted wireless range enhances portable convenience.
- Solid, well-finished construction and a minimum 40% post-consumer recycled-plastic content point to durable, eco-conscious build quality.

Cons
- Modest maximum SPL (~83 dB) limits overall loudness and headroom in noisy or outdoor environments.
- Single active driver and compact form factor constrain stereo soundstage and imaging compared with true stereo speakers.
Sound Quality
83/100
Bass
87/100
Passive radiator design (37.75 x 65 mm PR) plus a 45.6 mm active driver suggests stronger low-frequency extension than a similarly sized sealed unit. Max SPL is modest (83 dB), so bass is good for a compact portable product but not thunderous. Scored as 'excellent for size' given PR implementation and product positioning.
Mid
84/100
Single active 45.6 mm driver should provide clear, present mids for vocals and instruments in a compact package. No reviewer text provided; score based on driver size and UE's tuning history favoring balanced midrange in similar models.
Treble
82/100
Small-driver portable likely emphasizes smooth, non-fatiguing treble over extreme extension. Expect adequate detail and air for the form factor without harshness, but not the sparkle of larger dedicated speakers.
Soundstage Imaging
80/100
Compact cylindrical footprint and single active driver limit stereo imaging and depth compared with stereo bookshelf speakers. Passive radiators help fullness, but true stereo soundstage is constrained by form factor.
Dynamics
78/100
Modest maximum SPL (83 dB) and small driver size limit macro dynamics and headroom; however the passive radiators and efficient design should deliver punchy microdynamics for near-field/listening.

Build Quality
88/100
Ultimate Ears lists a minimum 40% post-consumer recycled plastic content and compact, well-finished construction; portable design and known UE durability point toward high build quality for the price.
Features Connectivity
90/100
Active Bluetooth speaker: USB-C charging, up to two source devices concurrently, long 131 ft quoted range, and 12-hour battery life. Score reflects strong modern connectivity and portable convenience (not a passive-speaker baseline).
Value for Money
90/100
At $79.99 the combination of PR-assisted bass, durable build, Bluetooth multi-device, USB-C and 12-hour battery represents strong value versus typical portable speakers in this price bracket.
