UE's Tiny Clip-On Speaker Hits a New Price Low for Prime Day

Amazon's October Prime Day knocks the Ultimate Ears Miniroll down to its lowest price yet, though you lose an app and get thinner bass in return.

The Ultimate Ears Miniroll, a palm-sized clip-on Bluetooth speaker, is down to $47.49 on Amazon for October Prime Day.

Amazon cut the Miniroll's price from its $79.99 list down to $47.49, which price trackers say is the lowest it has ever sold for. The puck-shaped speaker weighs just over half a pound and comes with a removable rubber strap for clipping onto a backpack, bike handlebar, or shower caddy. It runs about 12 hours per charge over USB-C, carries an IP67 rating against dust and brief dunks, and has a 40-meter Bluetooth range, so you can leave your phone inside while it plays on the patio. PCMag's review found it gets louder than its size suggests, though bass-heavy genres like hip-hop and electronic music sound thinner, and pushing past roughly 80% volume blurs the sound and makes the speaker vibrate.

This is a budget speaker, and Ultimate Ears isn't pretending otherwise. There's no companion app, which means no equalizer, no codec switching, and no find-my-speaker feature - what ships in the box is permanent. The appeal here is portability and price, not audio fidelity, and that's a fair trade for a speaker meant to live on a bike or in a shower caddy rather than a living room.

Do the math: $79.99 minus $47.49 is a $32.50 discount, not the flat $30 some sale banners round to - still the cheapest this speaker has ever been, in a category of clip-on speakers that live and die on how many corners they cut for the price.
