They say old is gold, that may not always be the case, especially with music systems! Remember the old days when music systems used to be huge and take up huge spaces, not to mention the bulky wiring that was scary and cumbersome! These music systems also came in various components: turntable, cassette player, CD/DVD/Blu-Ray player, radio tuner, antenna, amplifier, speakers, etc. Of course, not all components were required simultaneously and depended on the times you’re remembering them from. But you get the idea: music systems were big and not miniaturized. Although there were smaller systems, they usually compromised sound quality. The interesting part is that not everyone needed sophisticated, high-quality music systems. Many of us prefer to take our music with us easily. Many of us are casual music listeners and like music solutions with good sound quality. Previously, this was not a challenge, to say the least.
Fortunately, we live in good times and rapidly advancing technology has made miniaturization a reality without compromising quality. We now have solutions for casual music listeners that come in a small form factor but with good sound quality. In addition, there is a high level of flexibility as these devices do not need to contain everything themselves and can be paired with other devices such as your laptop or iPod to provide good quality music. Furthermore, storage systems have become extremely portable with the advent of USB sticks and Micro SD cards.
For those who not only love music but live for it and also want to easily take it with them, the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox Bluetooth Speaker & Speakerphone is the perfect solution! While the Boombox is small, the exciting part is that its sound output is big and of good quality. Provides incredible sound plus Bluetooth wireless freedom.

We bought this product some time ago and have not had the slightest reason to regret it. In fact, for its price, size, features, and sound quality, it’s an excellent speaker choice. It’s also much better and more popular than most other small form factor music solutions – that goes even with its later Logitech variants!
