This portable speaker has a recycled design and materials

Ultimate Ears is rounding out its roster of Bluetooth speakers with the new Miniroll.

Priced at $99, the portable speaker pairs the design language of the old UE Roll and UE Roll 2 with more sustainable material choices. The speaker is mostly made of recycled materials, but it doesn't compromise on weight or quality. All told, the hardware here weighs just 279g and comes with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.

Spec-wise, the Ultimate Ears Miniroll comes armed with a custom driver, a set of bass radiators and a tuned EQ. The portable speaker also features a built-in strap, USB-C port and is said to offer 12 hours of playback per charge. 

According to Ultimate Ears general manager Jonah Staw, the driving force behind the new speaker was a desire to meet the needs of more active consumers.

In terms of colors, those who mean to pick up the UE Miniroll will have black, blue and grey variants to choose from. There’s also going to be a pink model that’ll be available through Ultimate Ears directly. While you can pair multiple Miniroll speakers up using Ultimate Ears’ PartyUp feature, you can’t do the same using other speakers available from the brand. 

In Australia, the Ultimate Ears Miniroll is available for pre-order now through both Ultimate Ears and JB Hi-Fi ahead of a local launch on 4 October 2024.
