Well this could get loud! At CES Ultimate Ears is demoing an upcoming feature for their UE Boom and Megaboom speakers where you’ll be able to pair more than ten of them at one time. The update will be available via iOS or Android apps this summer. Why you would want to pair more than ten speakers is beyond me, but why not right?
“Our mission is to transform the way people experience their music, together, out in the world,” said Rory Dooley, general manager of Ultimate Ears. “That’s why, on top of a design that looks and sounds great, and can go anywhere, we designed these speakers to frequently update with new features. We are committed to helping you fit your music into your lifestyle, and all the features we’ve introduced – and plan to introduce – are available to anyone, no matter when you purchased your speaker, and come together to give you a mobile music experience like no other.”
Since 2013, UE has been pushing the mobile speaker category forward with industry-first features delivered as software updates available to every speaker purchased since the launch of UE BOOM, including Double Up, alarm functionality and remote On/Off. UE is also the first to introduce over-the-air updates for Bluetooth® speakers, making updating your speaker easier than ever before. Now, UE is giving you an easy way to create an even bigger ad hoc speaker system anywhere you want, whether camping with friends, throwing an impromptu party on campus or hitting the ski slopes.
“As an industry pioneer for Bluetooth streaming audio, CSR has been continuously pushing every boundary to deliver high quality wireless audio along with innovative features that can transform the consumer experience,” said Anthony Murray, SVP Business Group for CSR. “The multi-share speaker technology that we have developed enables consumers to truly unleash their audio in ways never before possible, and we’re delighted to collaborate with Ultimate Ears to unveil the demo experience of our technology.”
To take advantage of the new feature once it’s available, simply download the free app for iOS® or Android™ for your respective speaker, open it and upgrade your speaker’s software in the settings menu.
