"Today's fans have their music with them wherever they go — they carry
it with them on their tablet or smartphone," said Rory Dooley, Logitech
senior vice president of music. "But no matter how or where you choose
to store or access your favorite music, this lineup is the best way for
you to experience it. Whether you want to be completely immersed in your
favorite song, to share music with friends, or to discover new
favorites, Logitech UE is the clear choice."
As people shift away from traditional methods of music consumption
toward services that are easily accessed through mobile devices, they
are increasingly able to surround themselves with their favorite music
no matter where they go or who they're with.
Combining Logitech's expertise in seamless connectivity with UE's
heritage of providing great sound in the tiniest of packages, the new
lineup blends form and function to deliver the right sound for any
situation.
Highlights of the new lineup include:
Logitech UE Boombox
The Logitech
UE™ Boombox is an on-the-go speaker that lets you use your
smartphone or tablet to play and control your music from up to 50 feet
away. Up to eight Bluetooth®-enabled devices can be paired with the
speaker — with up to three connected at the same time — so you and your
friends can take turns playing music. With eight custom-tuned drivers,
the Logitech UE Boombox delivers sound that is rich, balanced and clear,
with enough bass to make every song feel as real and as raw as it
should. An integrated, sculptured aluminum handle makes it easy to roam
— from the kitchen, to the bedroom, to a party at a friend's house or
anywhere in between — with uninterrupted music at your side. With a
six-hour rechargeable battery, you won't have a power outlet holding you
down. The Logitech UE Boombox will be available for a suggested retail
price of U.S. $249.99.
Logitech UE Mobile Boombox
The Logitech
UE™ Mobile Boombox is an ultraportable speaker that connects to your
smartphone or tablet to play and control your music from up to 50 feet
away. Because two mobile devices can be connected at the same time, you
can keep your two most-frequently used devices connected. Designed to
give you surprisingly big sound in a portable package, the Logitech UE
Mobile Boombox includes a rechargeable battery that delivers up to 10
hours of music, depending on use, settings and conditions, and can even
double as a speakerphone for voice or video calls. With metal finishes,
vibrant accents and a grip-action rubber casing, it is built to look
good, feel great in your hand, and withstand a little rough and tumble.
The Logitech UE Mobile Boombox will be available for a suggested
retail price of U.S. $99.99.
Logitech UE Smart Radio
The Logitech
UE™ Smart Radio is a dedicated music device that can play Internet
radio, online music services and the music on your PC or Mac® — all
through one simple, unified interface. The color screen displays album
art, track and station information. And you can save your favorite
stations and playlists for one-touch access to the music you listen to
most. What's more, the Logitech UE Smart Radio Controller app for iPhone®,
iPad® and Android
devices transforms your smartphone or tablet into a master music
controller, giving you seamless navigation of your music services, radio
stations and personal music collection. The rechargeable battery lets
you take your music with you around the home, with up to six hours of
continuous playback depending on use, settings and conditions. The
Logitech UE Smart Radio will be available for a suggested retail price
of U.S. $179.99.
Logitech UE 900 Noise-Isolating Earphones
Logitech
UE™ 900 Noise-Isolating Earphones deliver sound that is surpassed
only by Logitech UE's professional custom in-ear monitors. Thanks to
four-armature speakers and a three-way crossover in a universal fit,
you'll hear a wide soundstage with soul-satisfying bass, heavenly highs
and a crisp, piano-like timbre. The unique UE sound signature faithfully
recreates the original recording — and adds a low-end kick. Five silicon
and three Comply® Foam tips, each designed with a large-bore opening,
ensure audio is delivered cleanly. Two detachable, braided cables — one
with a mic and controls, and one without — let you swap out the standard
cable for a cable with mic and controls. And ear loops offer a secure,
comfortable fit no matter what you're doing. The Logitech UE 900
Noise-Isolating Earphones will be available for a suggested retail price
of U.S. $399.99.
Logitech UE 9000 Headphones
With the Logitech
UE™ 9000 Headphones, there are no wires and no distractions. They
connect wirelessly to your favorite Bluetooth devices, but also include
an optional cable should you want to go wired or run out of power —
plus, they fold flat when you're on the go. The high-resolution drivers
of the Logitech UE 9000 Headphones deliver pure, undiluted audio that's
distinctly UE — rich, clear and perfectly tuned — for a spacious
soundstage and a remarkable level of power, punch and clarity. Powered
by a long-life battery, our proprietary Bluetooth implementation
provides freedom from cords without sound-quality compromises. Listen
wired or wirelessly — so the music never has to stop. Active noise
canceling technology filters out ambient noise for a more immersive
experience. With asymmetrical memory foam cushions, articulating joints
and an around-the-ear design, the Logitech UE 9000 Headphones conform to
the contours of your head, so you'll be comfortable for those extended
listening sessions. Logitech UE 9000 Headphones also feature intuitively
and discreetly placed controls that respond to the touch of your
fingertips, so you can select songs, turn up the volume, or answer a
call — naturally and easily. The Logitech UE 9000 Headphones will be
available for a suggested retail price of U.S. $399.99.
Logitech UE 6000 Headphones
Tune in to the music and tune out everything else with your Logitech
UE™ 6000 Headphones. They connect to your favorite devices, fold up
like sunglasses when you're on the go and come with a splitter to make
sharing simple. The distinct UE sound signature provides pure, undiluted
audio with a wide-open soundstage and a remarkable level of detail in
all your music. Active noise canceling technology filters out ambient
noise for an immersive listening experience. The Logitech UE 6000
Headphones feature plush memory foam cushions; breathable,
soft-as-leather surfaces; and an around-the-ear design. The Logitech UE
6000 Headphones will be available for a suggested retail price of
$199.99.
Logitech UE 4000 Headphones
The powerful, high-sensitivity drivers in the Logitech
UE™ 4000 Headphones make your music come alive with depth,
authenticity and emotion. You can immerse yourself in your music with
these compact on-ear headphones that come with a zippered,
microfiber-lined travel pouch. On-cord mic and controls let you answer
calls, change tracks and adjust volume — all without taking your phone
or device out of your pocket. The Logitech UE 4000 Headphones also
feature plush memory foam cushions; breathable, soft-as-leather
surfaces; and an on-the-ear design. The Logitech UE 4000 Headphones will
be available for a suggested retail price of $99.99.
