UE BOOM 2 APP UPDATE UPDATE

In PartyUp mode, all speakers play the same audio there's no option to set up multiple stereo pairs. There was the occasional dropout, but they get harder to notice when you've got so many speakers blaring music all at once. But the company did send over around 8 of them - a mix of regular Booms and Megabooms - and the feature seemed to work as advertised. I don't have 50 UE speakers handy to test out the extreme limits of PartyUp. Just drag a speaker up into the main area to add it to your 'party' and drag it back down to remove it. Their icons match the exterior color of the speakers, which makes it easier to tell which device you're controlling. Now you just drag and drop nearby speakers the app detects them even when they're powered down using Bluetooth LE. Pairing just two speakers together has gotten much faster than before, according to the company. All speakers must be updated with the latest firmware that enables support for PartyUp. These can be a mix of the original UE Boom, UE Boom 2, and UE Megaboom the excellent UE Roll and Roll 2 are sadly excluded from the party. PartyUp allows you to corral dozens of nearby UE speakers (the company says 'more than 50') and get all of them playing the same music in sync.

UE BOOM 2 APP UPDATE UPDATE

An update to the UE Boom and UE Megaboom apps being rolled out today introduces a new feature called PartyUp. But now Ultimate Ears is going far beyond a two-speaker setup - if you've got enough speakers, that is.

You can set them to play the same exact audio out of both speakers, or they can be configured as a stereo pair where one speaker is the left channel, the other right. The UE Boom, our favorite portable Bluetooth speaker, already lets you 'double up' two devices for better sound.
