Are you ready to get this party started? If you own a little something from Ultimate Ears, you may first need to update your app.
Ultimate Ears just announced an update that will add a new feature to the UE Boom 2, the UE Roll, and the UE Megaboom. That new perk is called Block Party, and it promises a new way to share and experience music.
Block Party makes music more of a social experience, by allowing up to three friends to connect to a single UE speaker -- as long as it's one of the UE speakers mentioned above. From there, users can tap into favorite music services and share songs, all through the same speaker. It's the perfect opportunity to channel your inner DJ or even kick back and let someone else pick the music for a change.
The app update will also add the UE Boom 2's Tap Controls feature to the UE Megaboom. With this feature enabled, you can tap the top of the speaker to play, pause, and skip through songs, all without ever having to remove your phone from your pocket.
Other app features include an alarm clock, a five-band equalizer, the ability to pair UE speakers through Double Up, and remote control options.
"We live in a world with multiple music services and devices," said Rory Dooley, general manager of Ultimate Ears. "With Block Party, we've made it as simple and as easy as possible for you to share your music. Through the app, we make our already awesome speakers better over time as we continue to unlock more ways for you to get the most from your speaker, from Double Up to Tap Controls and now, Block Party."
All of the above app enhancements are out now -- as are each of the speakers. Both the UE Boom 2 and UE Roll are available in six different colors, priced at $199.99 and $99.99, respectively. The UE Megaboom comes in charcoal black, plum, lava red, and electric blue, with an MSRP of $299.99 each.
