Ultimate Ears just took the title of the smallest speaker in its lineup, and it's not what you'd expect. The new Miniroll is an engineering marvel that packs a big punch despite its diminutive size. Weighing in at less than a pound, this portable speaker is perfect for those who want to take their music on-the-go without the bulk.
The Miniroll is essentially a smaller version of Ultimate Ears' flat, circular Roll design. But don't let its small stature fool you – this speaker has a lot to offer. It features a built-in, flexible strap that allows you to attach it to just about anything, from your backpack to your bike. And with IP67 rating dust and waterproofing, you can take it with you wherever you go without worrying about the elements.
As for controls, the Miniroll retains the prominent volume buttons that Ultimate Ears is known for. You'll also find power and play/pause buttons on the left side, which double as track skipping and PartyUp mode controls. For those who are unfamiliar, PartyUp mode allows you to sync the speaker with other UE devices for an epic audio experience.
But what really sets the Miniroll apart is its impressive sound quality. With up to 85.5dB of volume, this little speaker can get loud. And with one 45.6mm active driver and one 37.75mm x 65mm passive radiator, you can expect deep bass and clear highs. Whether you're hosting a party or just want to listen to some tunes in the park, the Miniroll is up to the task.
As for battery life, Ultimate Ears promises up to 12 hours on a single charge. That's more than enough for an all-day party on the go. And when you need to recharge, the Miniroll features a convenient USB-C port along the bottom edge. It's fully exposed, but the speaker's IP67 rating means you don't have to worry about it getting damaged.
But what really sets the Miniroll apart is its focus on sustainability. The speaker is made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled polyester fabric, and at least 40 percent of its plastic components are made from post-consumer recycled materials. That's a big deal for eco-conscious consumers who want to reduce their environmental impact.
So, how much will this tiny speaker set you back? The Miniroll is available now for $80 (€80/£70) in a range of colors, including black, blue, grey, and pink. That makes it the most affordable speaker in Ultimate Ears' current lineup – and the smallest. Whether you're a music lover on a budget or just want a portable speaker that can keep up with your active lifestyle, the Miniroll is definitely worth considering.
