Boozy picnic season is nearly upon us, and the UE BOOM social music player has just launched in Australia with the aim of making music listening less of a solitary experience and more of a social activity.

The wireless speakers have planted their flag in the ground as the first speakers to offer 360-degree sound in a battery-powered device. This, coupled with a 15-hour rechargeable battery, makes the UE BOOM a welcome contribution to any social settings. (More so than some of your dirtbag friends.) For extra juice, you can wirelessly connect two UE BOOMs through the free UE BOOM app to play them in stereo mode.

We’ve got one of these badboys (retailing at $199) to give away. For your chance to win*, drop an email to comp(at)acclaimmag.com with your name, postal address, phone number, and ‘UE BOOM’ in the subject line.
