The company has released Block Party, an app feature that works with UE’s lineup of portable-speakers-—-Roll, Boom 2,-and Megaboom-— to share songs through the same speaker. The updated apps are-now available through the iOS and Android app stores. Through the-UE app, Block Party allows up to three friends to connect to a single UE speaker and share songs from-their favorite music services. Since each-has the power to control the playlist, there’s-no need to argue over who gets to play DJ.-It’s an innovative way to get more listeners engaged. We’ve seen other speakers with similar features before, such as-the-Sol Republic Deck, but it’s nice to see this addition to a speaker family as versatile as UE’s lineup, which also bring 360-degree sound and water-proofing into the fold.

The popular feature allows users to play, pause, and skip songs by just tapping the top of their-Boom 2 or Megaboom. The updates add to the-UE speakers’-already long list of practical capabilities, including the ability to set a speaker as-an alarm clock, pairing with an additional UE speaker-using Double Up, custom tuning via the five-band equalizer, and turning speakers on or off remotely. By updating its apps, UE has continued its push to allow users to continue to enhance-the listening experience, long after they’ve already brought their speakers home.
