One of the most popular Bluetooth speakers just hooked up with Siri
Ultimate Ears's UE Boom 2 and UE Megaboom, two of the most popular portable Bluetooth speakers around, are getting an upgrade to make them more like Amazon's Alexa-equipped Tap. A new software update for the speakers' apps (free on iOS and Android) adds Siri and Google Now, allowing push-to-talk voice commands just like on Amazon's new portable bluetooth speaker. SEE ALSO: Ultimate Ears' Boom 2 speaker cranks the volume up to eleven After downloading the new app update, users will be able to press the Bluetooth button and ask either Siri or Google Now to play a song according to Ultimate Ears. In addition to songs, users will also be able to ask Siri and Google Now (with the "OK, Google" command) for anything they can do on their iOS or Android devices, such as getting restaurant suggestions and directions. We haven't tried the new voice assistant integration ourselves yet, but early reports indicate there are some quirks.
