UE Speakers Get Voice Activation With Siri And Google Now

Ultimate Ears speakers are already super portable, waterproof, sound great and and boast an impressive 15 hours battery life. Now with new Siri and Google Now voice integration on the Boom 2 and Megaboom models, you won’t have to pick up your phone to play DJ.

Gone are the days of hunting down your favourite song on your phone as this new voice integration provides access to tunes in just a couple of seconds with a quick push of the Bluetooth button and a simple voice request.

Up to three people can DJ at once, and when we reviewed the Boom 2 we found that while you’re not going to be shaking any floors, it actually has plenty of lower frequency power for a speaker of its size.

Siri and Google Now voice integration is now available on UE Boom 2 ($249.95) and UE Megaboom ($379.95) via the free UE Boom and UE Megaboom apps on iOS and Adroid.
