Too expensive; Sound a little sub par

It appears then that there is some give and take when it comes to the UE Boom 2. Its R3 500 price tag is a tad too much, but it feels well constructed, can last a full day and works from a fair distance away. As such, the actual speaker performance is a little sub par when compared to the likes of the Beats Pill XL. That said, the Pill XL is nearly R1000 more expensive and cannot go the same places the UE Boom 2 can.
