UE Continues to Push Boundaries in Design with
its Safe Haven Edition UE BOOM
Today Ultimate Ears announced its sixth artist-designed UE BOOM
mobile speaker, designed by contemporary graffiti artist Greg
‘Craola’ Simkins. The Safe Haven Edition UE BOOM celebrates the
depth and detail in the world of art by combining the powerful
sound from the multi-award-winning UE BOOM with Craola’s vivid –
and imaginative – designs.

Craola draws inspiration from his favorite childhood books and
cartoons, and weaves together pop culture, nature and carnival
kitsch with his warped imagination to capture the extraordinary in
his pieces. His work can be found in a variety of places, from
galleries to clothing and video games, to spray-painted murals.
Now, he is bringing his visions to new life on the acoustic skin of
UE BOOM, encouraging fans to bring a fresh perspective to their
imaginations and express themselves.
“Just like my art inspires people to leave behind the ordinary,
the power of UE BOOM allows its listeners to enhance their ordinary
by bringing music deeper into whatever they’re doing, no matter
where they go,” said Craola. “I love that the Ultimate Ears brand
and I both stand for self expression, and I’m honored to share in
this adventure of bringing music and imagination to life.”
Introduced in 2013, UE BOOM has won four prestigious design
awards, and has redefined what a mobile speaker is with
industry-defining features and customization. Designed to be the
center of your life, UE BOOM has a cylindrical shape that plays
360-degree sound, and it features a customizable acoustic skin.
Since 2013, UE has been one of the only brands to bring art onto
its products by collaborating with notable artists, giving them an
opportunity to use the acoustic skin of UE BOOM as their
canvas.
“When we conceived of UE BOOM, we set out to challenge people’s
concepts for what a mobile speaker looked like and how it
performed,” said Rory Dooley, general manager of Ultimate Ears. “To
this day, every detail that goes into this product ties back to
innovation and customization; in fact, pushing boundaries is our
central focus for the UE experience. To this end, the artist
edition speakers deliver on both the creativity and innovation
fronts, and we have even more up our sleeves.”

Ultimate Ears is producing only 200 Safe Haven Edition UE BOOM
