Pro Comes with a floatie!
Every Roll 2 speaker comes with a little floatie that the speaker can be attached to using the bungee strap. Awesome for pool parties or just chilling.

Cons
Con Poor musical range
Like most devices with small speakers the range is not that great for bass heavy music. The device is best used for acoustic music, but is serviceable for others.
Con Trouble with bass
Like most small speakers the UE Roll has trouble with bass, so anything with heavy bass in the song will come out sounding not optimal, but still better than speakers inside a tablet or phone.
