This process is incredibly easy to perform, and requires hooking up the device to a Mac or PC using the supplied USB cable. In order to use the UE Boom as a wake up device, you must first install new firmware on it. I also absolutely adored the new features that come with the app update, which I'll discuss now. Additionally, my device lived up to Logitech’s promise of 15 hours of battery life between micro USB charges. I found the UE Boom does a great job at balancing sound, and offers plenty of bass to rock a room. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that I fell in love with my review device, for a number of reasons. This isn’t a full review of the UE Boom, which launched earlier this year, but rather a look at the new features that come with the app update.

Like the recently introduced UE Mini Boom, users can connect up to two source devices at the same time, and listen to audio in stereo. With the free UE Boom app, users can pair up to eight Bluetooth enabled source devices, such as an iPhone or iPad. The UE Boom is a Bluetooth speaker that competes with Jawbone’s Jambox, among other systems. Among other new tools, it includes the ability to use the UE Boom speaker as a wake up alarm. That update, version 2.0, officially launched today in the App Store. For the past few weeks, I’ve been testing a prerelease update for the UE Boom app by Logitech.
