Ultimate Ears, a brand under Logitech, has expanded its lineup of portable Bluetooth® speakers with the introduction of the MINIROLL. Compact yet powerful, the MINIROLL is designed with a convenient silicone strap, making it easy to attach to bikes, boats, bags, or even belt loops, ensuring it’s always ready for action. Its lightweight build and sleek, river rock-inspired design make it the ideal audio companion, seamlessly transitioning from one activity to the next.

“MINIROLL started with a consumer ask. We listened to our fans: they wanted a speaker that could go anywhere and keep pace with their active lifestyles,” said Jonah Staw, General Manager of Ultimate Ears. “Our design and engineering teams responded by creating our most portable speaker yet, showing how consumer passion fuels innovation.”

Ultimate Ears has always catered to consumers’ love of high-quality sound, outdoor adventure, and portability. The original UE ROLL, launched in 2015, became a fan favourite for its unique flat design and integrated strap. The MINIROLL, though smaller, continues this legacy. It retains the updated strap feature from its predecessor, designed to fit comfortably in your hand while maintaining the rugged spirit of the original ROLL.

Weighing just 279g, the MINIROLL is engineered for effortless portability. With an IP67 rating, it’s waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof, making it the ultimate companion for outdoor escapades and poolside relaxation.

Despite its size, the MINIROLL packs a punch. Advanced audio technology, including a custom driver, bass radiators, and finely tuned EQ settings, delivers rich, immersive sound, even in outdoor settings. Plus, with Auracast™ technology, users can easily pair an unlimited number of MINIROLL speakers for a dynamic, amplified sound experience—perfect for group gatherings. The speaker boasts a BluetoothⓇ range of 40 metres and offers up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. When it’s time to recharge, the USB-C port ensures fast charging, so the music never stops.

Sustainability is also a key feature of the MINIROLL. The speaker is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fabric and incorporates a minimum of 40% recycled plastic, giving new life to waste from consumer electronics. Additionally, its packaging is sourced from FSC™-certified forests, supporting responsible forestry.

The Ultimate Ears MINIROLL (AUD $99.95) is now available for pre-order on ultimateears.com and jbhifi.com.au in black, blue, grey, and pink. Pre-orders are open until 4 October 2024, after which the MINIROLL will be available for direct purchase.
