New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today Ultimate Ears announced the newest addition to its limited edition lineup of award-winning UE BOOM speakers with the custom designed
Skrillex Edition UE BOOM. With this collaboration, UE provides a new avenue for the six-time GRAMMY Award® winning electronic dance music producer
Skrillex to express yet another aspect of his creative talent with his own hand-drawn images covering UE BOOM.
Just as UE has disrupted how people listen to the music they love, out loud and on the go,
Skrillex has transformed their music experience through the creative use of technology, tapping a variety of computer programs to write, record and mix his tracks. Now, his captivating visual style is reflected through his hand-drawn work in this custom designed UE BOOM.
"UE BOOM is awesome because it's small, portable and powerful,"
Skrillex said. "They get so loud! I listen to them all the time on tour - from the bus to backstage. They're the best little speakers you can get, which is why I'm pumped to have my own artwork covering a custom edition."
Introduced in 2013, UE BOOM has won four prestigious design awards. Built to withstand anything life throws at it, and to survive wherever you want to take it, UE BOOM has a cylindrical shape that blasts bold 360-degree sound, and it features a water- and stain-resistant acoustic skin and up to 15 hours of battery life. And now, through this collaboration, UE BOOM is the absolute symbol of how people experience and interact with music today.
"Skrillex has been a disruptive force in the EDM evolution, changing people's expectations of and experiences with music," said Rory Dooley, general manager of Ultimate Ears. "UE is thrilled to work with an artist as notable as
Skrillex to bring people their music in an exciting - and expressive - package.
Skrillex finds inspiration in the combination of music, people and technology, and this collaboration is a natural fit for our brand."

Skrillex Edition UE BOOM is expected to be available in the U.S. and in select countries in
Europe starting in November 2014 for a suggested retail price of $199.99. For more information, please visit www.ultimateears.com or www.skrillex.com.
