Bose Lifestyle Ultra: strong compact sound begs for a stereo pair

CNET’s review finds the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker to be a stylish, compact smart speaker with punchy bass and a wider soundstage thanks to a height driver. It supports Google Cast, Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth (not portable) and can be used solo or as part of a stereo pair or as rear speakers with the Lifestyle Soundbar. Setup via the Bose app is straightforward, but software updates can take about 10 minutes per speaker. It isn’t backward-compatible with older Bose Wi‑Fi speakers and it doesn’t natively support hi-res 24-bit/192 kHz audio. Compared with Sonos Era models, the Ultra sounds better than Era 100 but not as expansive as Era 300; two units are recommended for true stereo. Price is $299 each, with a $70 discount when buying as a stereo pair.

"UE Epicboom: Overpriced Mediocrity or Epic Sound?"

The Ultimate Ears Epicboom wireless speaker, priced at $349.99, lacks the advanced features that consumers have come to expect at this premium price point, such as voice assistants, multi-room audio synchronization, and Wi-Fi connectivity. While it offers a ruggedized build, powerful 360-degree sound, and up to 17 hours of battery life, the audio quality falls short compared to more expensive speakers like the Sonos Move 2. The Epicboom's condensed feature list and high price make it a less appealing option in the competitive Bluetooth speaker market.
