Listen With Your Life

The most attractive part about the Ultimate Ears BOOM is that you don’t need to treat it like some precious treasure that is good to see, nice to hold but breakable. Covered in a soft, wear and water resistant acoustic skin that feels warm and comfortable in your hands, the speakers are the center of all action.

The simple plus and minus interface is refreshingly easy to use. The fluorescent flat cable avoids tangles and twists, and rolls up cleanly for easy storage.
