  • Audio quality surprisingly good for its size, minimal distortion even at relatively high volumes good
  • Design and form factor distinctive looking, though the models with primary colors wouldn't be my first choice good
  • Durability pretty sturdy good
  • Portability definitely easy to toss in a backpack or messenger bag good
Detailed review
The UE Mobile Boombox sounds very good for its size and price. I've used both cheaper Bluetooth speakers (the HMDX Jam) and more expensive ones (including UE's full-size Boombox), and the Mobile Boombox strikes a very good balance of value and quality. It gets reasonably loud for a small speaker, has very little distortion at most typical listening volumes, and pairs easily with most tablets and smartphones. Battery life is good, and it uses a standard micro-USB port for charging. If you're looking for a good Bluetooth speaker for under $100, it's definitely worth considering.

Is it powerful enough to use to entertain a dinner party or a backyard gathering?

Probably not loud enough for a big backyard shindig, though it's fine for a picnic. For a dinner party, I'd say it all depends on how loud your guests are and how widely dispersed they are. If they're conversing at a reasonable volume, and are confined to a dining room, it's probably fine, especially since you don't want the music to drown out the conversation. I wouldn't recommend it for a party where the music needs to take center stage, though the full-size UE Boombox would work for that.
