Update 6/12/18:
Won't turn on and won't charge all of a sudden.
2nd update 6/12/18:
Had to do a hard reset
WARNING This procedure can permanently damage your speaker and should ONLY be used if the speaker won’t turn ON. Frequent use of the reset procedure is NOT recommended.
1. Briefly press the “-“ (volume down), “+” (volume up) and small action/Bluetooth buttons at the same time (See picture below).
2. Next, press the large power button on the speaker and it will turn back ON.
Note: it may take a few moments for the speaker to reconnect to Alexa or repair to your mobile device.
3. After resetting the speaker, it’s highly RECOMMENDED that you use the Ultimate Ears app (available from the app stores for iOS and Android) to check for available firmware updates for your speaker. To do this, launch the app > tap on the settings icon > scroll to the bottom of the screen and press “Check for Updates.” (Depending on the version of the app you may need to disable Automatic Updates before you can manually check for updates. If prompted, follow the instructions to update your speaker’s firmware.
I did purchase this speaker during the $99 sale. I know the UE products are more expensive and have great quality sound. So $99 with the Alexa feature was a steal. With that being said, it’s important to know what features are most important to you before purchasing a portable speaker vs Alexa stationary products...
To begin, it should be noted that first and foremost, this is intended as a portable, high quality speaker. It is waterproof, allowing for functionality virtually anywhere. It comes with a charging cable, like almost all speakers, and holds a charge for longer than I personally need.
With that being said, the Alexa feature is more of a secondary function or perk. Unless you have a prime account, the prime music will be pointless. However, you can use other music apps, or just synce it vis Bluetooth to your phone. I have not had any problems connecting it to my wifi, and the Alexa works fine for me. However, I would not purchase this for the sole intention of using Alexa. I own both the Alexa Echo and Echo Dot. All 3 have their own benefits.
All together, this is a great speaker. It sounds amazing and fulfills my needs for a portable speaker. The Alexa function is a nice addition, but would recommend the UE Boom if this was not on sale and the Alexa function is not important to you.
If you don’t plan on using it as a portable speaker, and Alexa is the more important feature to you, I’d recommend the regular Echo.
Otherwise, I love this speaker!!
This item is somewhat unique in that the only other item is reasonably compares to is the Amazon Tap. As a bluetooth speaker...it is average at best. The sound is slightly better than the Anker soundcore...but significantly worse than the Anker Soundcore boost, the JBL Charge 2+ and the bose mini - all of which happen to be in my house. I was severely disappointed in the sound quality overall. It generally lacks definition and has very little low end response. Generally any $50 BT speaker will sound better, much less any other BT at this price point. Very disappointing. The sound is better than an Echo dot by itself...but that is really not saying anything positive.
As an Alexa device - again general disappointment. First - the WiFi appears to be very weak. It has connection problems in areas that no other WiFi devices I own have problems. The greatest development for Alexa devices is their microphone array that can pick up and distinguish voices several feet away. The BLAST CANNOT do this. At best you need to both over the top of the BLAST and within about 24 inches for Alexa to reliably pick up what is said. But be prepared...the response is VERY slow. This is nothing like the prior generation or current generation Echo devices. The overall experience feels like a BETA test device...not something that was released for public consumption.
The charging pad is necessary...and should simply be factored into the price. at 140+ this is a huge disappointment.
