I've waiting for this to go on sale again! Logitech UE Boom Bluetooth speakers for $139 from eBay's Australia day sales. Black/Red, White/Blue or White/Red on sale.
LogitechShop is selling this through their eBay storefront and their www.logitechshop.com.au . Runs until 18/1/2015 unless sold out prior, which I assume will happen with these speakers.
I already own one, but am thinking of getting another for my classroom!

To see the three varieties on sale, click here

If they run out of stock, perhaps go for the 2x UE Boom's for $275 here(49/84 left) and here(15/18 left).

… perhaps 2% cashback too?? (Applies to eBay store, not logitech store.com.au)

    Are there any Ozbargainers who already owns one to review its sound quality?

    • yojabbajabba on 13/01/2015 - 09:05
      +13

      I own one @ronnknee and they are loud! They barely distort at the highest level, the Bluetooth connectivity to my iPhone picks up within 3 seconds of turning on the speaker, and really fills the room up with warm noise. Bass notes are distinguishable and warm; just don't expect earth shattering sub-bass. 9/10, especially at this price point.

      There are some good reviews and comparisons of this device against other portable Bluetooth speakers - this one really does shine.

      • ronnknee on 13/01/2015 - 09:08

        Thanks, I may think of getting one!

          Just seconding that I also have one. A mate who works at JB bought one and recommended it out of all their stock. Couldn't be happier with it. Just beware that the white does tend to pick up dirt so go for the black if you're adverse to cleaning.

      I have one of these and a bose sound link mini - I honestly can not tell the difference between the two.

      The bose haters will comment bose is overpriced and overrated - the soundlink mini is an excellent bit of kit - but this is just as good for a lot less. Don't think about it - buy this baby!!!!!

      • yojabbajabba on 14/01/2015 - 09:33

        this is just as good for a lot less

        Care to share where you'd find a Bose Soundlink Mini for ~$139? I agree with you; the Soundlink mini eats the UE Boom for breakfast when it comes to sound quality. If anything you should've noticed that the Bose has a much better bass response (try cranking Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars at full bore using the Bose & the UE at Myer… Bose wins for clarity of bass and treble at high volumes!).

        However, the UE and the Soundlink price points are completely different - and unfair to say one is better value than the other because of this fact. $140 device vs $200 device.

        • flashi007 on 14/01/2015 - 11:24

          I think you've misunderstood me

          I meant that the sound is comparable between the two (sound link slightly better possibly) and that the anyone thinking about the two should jump on the UE BOOM (as it has comparable sound for a much cheaper price)!!!

          Nowhere is the sound link mini for less then $200 - which is why I think the boom is the better buy

        • yojabbajabba on 14/01/2015 - 11:28

          @flashi007:

          Thanks for clarifying!… so why did you NEG the deal?

  • ozone141 on 13/01/2015 - 09:00

    A dumb question: Can we try to price match with JB or OW for Ebay prices?

    • yojabbajabba on 13/01/2015 - 09:08
      +3

      http://www.officeworks.com.au/information/policies/lowest-pr… - for OW you can price match (5% off) providing the item is IN STOCK (in both OW and eBay) and IDENTICAL. I'd recommend you show them the deal on their computers LIVE so that they can cross-check and price-match.

      JB HiFi are a PITA; they probably won't price match.

    • adamonline on 13/01/2015 - 09:56
      +1

      Logitech Shop has the same price on their own website too and you can definitely price match OW from there without too much effort. Best to do to price match over the phone with free delivery if you can. Then if you don't have success with the first person you can call back.

    • inittobinit on 13/01/2015 - 11:39

      No, I can tell you now you will be told it has to be a brick and mortar retail store.

      It simply isn't fair to ask someone who pays money to build a location to show case product and put staff out to provide customer service to then cut their prices to that of a ultra-low overhead purely transactional no service business.

    • lemc6125 on 13/01/2015 - 12:08

      Went into office works and they refused to pm. Said they didn't match ebay stores as they're too competitive.

      • yojabbajabba on 13/01/2015 - 13:44

        that is disappointing that you got someone at OW who knocked you back.

        …try again, or go with the 2% cash back instead!

      • ronnknee on 13/01/2015 - 14:14

        That's not a valid reason for them to reject you. You may want to complain to the store manager or head office.

        • lemc6125 on 13/01/2015 - 14:36

      Yeah I would agree with that. Compared the Soundlink Mini, UE Boom and SRS-X5 and ended up going with the latter. The sound quality on the Sony is amazing followed by the Soundlink and the UE Boom. The bass on the Sony is also fantastic compared to the other too. The X5 was about $170 on special from JB recently which was a great buy!

    Can confirm these are a great little speaker with some very loud output without distortion.

    House-mate has one and finds it hilarious to hide it in my room late at night and hit play at the appropriate time! Very loud..

  • Thiefsie on 13/01/2015 - 12:23

    Fantastic little speaker - just bought a second to have stereo tunage.

    Bass isn't the best but im overly impressed by everything else this thing does.

    At full blast playing music over BT mine lasts about 2 hours.

    • jdr on 13/01/2015 - 13:26

      Is it stereo? I thought it was just the same output from both to get more volume.

      • flashi007 on 13/01/2015 - 13:33

        You can link two for stereo sound

      • Thiefsie on 13/01/2015 - 14:58

        I can't confirm it's stereo with a single unit (can't test right now) although my guess is that it is. With them linked (wirelessly) it will clearly split stereo across two units to give a broader soundstage and better broadcast ability.

        • yojabbajabba on 14/01/2015 - 09:39

          It has 2x drivers in each UE Boom but I'm sure they run in a coaxial mono setup (one for mid-high's and one for mid-lows)
          Photos of the drivers/speakers in the UE

          Pairing 2x UEs using the App allows you to either run LR stereo or double-mono.

  • porsche26c on 13/01/2015 - 12:25

    excellent speakers well worth it at this price

  • Dream-cast on 13/01/2015 - 12:51
    +2

    I bought one based on reviews and i was very disappointed. No bass at all….none. An update introduced bass boost at the expense of sound clarity.

    I actually bought a second one just to test out the pair mode and see if it was any better. While the room filling sound was nice, pairing is cumbersome and the bass just isnt there.

    It also has no Aptx support and cannot act as an external power bank. These are great features all modern BT speakers should have and many do at a similar price.

    If you absolutely need a mobile speaker i guess this will do because battery life is good, its water resistant and relatively small. Other than that there are far better options available.

    The ones i recommend TDK A34 trek, Creative roar or the new Denon Envaya Mini.

    • Dream-cast on 13/01/2015 - 12:56

      Here's a good video showing relative sound comparison of the UE Boom and a newer BT speaker.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXlkfpHZYzQ

    • yojabbajabba on 13/01/2015 - 13:25

      The best Bluetooth speaker I've seen is the Fugoo (www.fugoo.com) but it's in a different price point. Horses for courses - the UE is reliable, durable and covered by warranty which makes it great for most people.

      • Dream-cast on 13/01/2015 - 14:33
        +2

        The UE boom is approaching 150 here and at that price point there are many choices. It's no where near worth $200.

        Creative Roar was on sale for $150 a few weeks ago and although its less portable its features and sound quality blow it away.

        I think the UE boom would be a good buy at $100 if you plan to use it at the park or beach.

        • yojabbajabba on 13/01/2015 - 15:09

          Yep, you're preaching to the choir here!

          Personally, I bought the ue because I knew it was going to be hassle free - I didn't have to trawl the specs to find the cutting edge, but I figure that in years time I'll be happy I bought an item that hasn't fallen apart or broken because I dropped it once. I think the convenience/peace of mind factor is what makes this a deal, not so much the specs.

    Have one, they get loud with minimal distortion for such a small unit, not audiophile quality but still very good.
    I got another for christmas to pair up in stereo mode. Unfortunately the audio drops out intermittently and it appears to be an ongoing issue for many owners on the logitech forums. Logitech themselves have been quiet on the issue.
    Otherwise I'd recommend it as a single unit

    There is an update for the software in the speaker if anyone is interested here> http://www.ultimateears.com/en-au/boom
    Also the app for smartphone's has a few nice options.

    Ordered a black one yesterday and was delivered today ( from SYD to MEL). On a side note the USB cable that comes with the black UE BOOM is luminous YELLOW. Since its only used for charging I didn't mind it too much. But a simple BLack or White cable is not too much to ask now is it?
