The weekend before I put fingers to keyboard and penned this UE Miniroll review, I went away with some friends. We wanted to rekindle teenage memories of sunny afternoons spent in the sun, of hanging out around fires, and a god-forsaken mixture of different music that only makes sense to 16-year-olds.
I had two jobs on the trip — being one of the designated drivers, and because of my extensive Bluetooth speaker collection, I had to provide the audio hardware for the tip. I decided to bring the recently released Ultimate Ears Miniroll. Apart from being named after a delicious confection on my side of the pond, the Miniroll takes the place of the defunct Roll and Roll 2 Bluetooth speakers. With solid sound for the size, surprising battery life, and a slick new design, the Miniroll makes a compelling case for $80.
