The Mini Boombox is the first portable Bluetooth speaker from Logitech. It may not be as good as other high-end models like Jawbone and Bose, but it only cost half as much.

What Features Can I Expect from Logitech UE Mobile Boombox?
If you’re familiar with the first Boombox, then you will notice that the UE Mobile Boombox is basically the same speaker, but with a more advanced design and the engineers at Logitech even upgraded its drivers to improve its overall sound performance. This speaker is portable and can accompany you in your travels. You can simply put it in your bag or backpack and use it whenever you want.
Its rubberized casing makes it durable and more rugged that its earlier version. Also, the rubber casing is designed to eliminate vibration, especially if you’re playing bass-heavy music at full volume. You will also find the standard buttons on the top part of the device as well as an auxiliary input at the back for connecting non-Bluetooth audio devices.
However, you need to supply a generic audio cable for this particular task, which you can buy in most electronic stores. The power button is also located at its back and a Micro-USB port for charging the speaker. It also features a speakerphone which is common among portable Bluetooth speakers these days. With its built-in microphone, you can seamlessly transfer from listening to your favorite music to taking hands-free phone calls.

Logitech UE Mobile Boombox Detailed Review
Today, a much improved Boombox is already available on the market. The Logitech UE Mobile Boombox is a step above its predecessor both in design and sound performance. But even with its enhancements, the price remained the same at $78 on Amazon.com. In my opinion, it’s a good bargain for anyone who is looking for a decent Bluetooth wireless speaker under $100.
Is It Compatible With Other Mobile Devices?
Pairing it with other devices is relatively easy, you just need to press the Bluetooth icon which is located on top of the unit and it will automatically appear on your smartphone, tablet and laptop computer. Once you connect it with your device, it’s now possible to stream music to the speaker. You can pair the UE Boombox at the maximum range of 50 feet, but expect some drop-offs if you operate beyond that range.
Can It Produce Quality Audio?
The UE Mobile Boombox speaker can belt out a considerable amount of audio for its size, but it’s not designed to produce booming sound, so don’t compare it with a wired stereo speaker. Although you can expect that it can fill a small space with decent and clear audio. However, to get the best performance from this speaker, you can set the volume in the middle or at least 6 to 8 on the scale.
Also, since its internal drivers are built so close to each other, there is virtually no stereo separation. But it can play decent audio which is good enough for its size. I tried several tracks ranging from disco to heavy metal music and I find it sufficient but mediocre at best. The quality may have been better, but for its price – it’s quite acceptable. I also noticed that it can play smooth sounds (love songs and ballads) better than fast and more bass-intensive music.
Gluten Free Alternative to Rice Krispies Recipe
This recipe calls for using Gluten-Free Rice Chex cereal, instead of Rice Krispies cereal. The cereal bars end up tasting very similar to the original rice krispies recipe, and are a very delicious gluten-free alternative.
Ingredients:
1. 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
2. 3 tablespoons of butter
3. 4 cups mini marshmallows
Directions:
1. Crush the cereal. You can beat it down while it’s still in the bag, or you can put it in a bowl and beat it until it’s crushed. The cereal shouldn’t end up being a powder, but just small pieces resembling the size of Rice Krispies cereal.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
3. Mix the marshmallows in with the butter until they are all completely melted. Remove from heat.
4. Add the cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until all the cereal is coated.
5. Pour into a waxed or buttered pan, and let cool.
6. Cut into pieces, and enjoy.
