Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Wireless Speaker, Deep Bass, 360 ° Surround Sound, Waterproof, 2 Speaker Connection for Powerful Sound, 13h Battery, Black

Amazing little speaker! I did a bit of research into the best bluetooth speakers and this definitely cropped up multiple times near the top spot. I managed to get a good deal on a used like new Wonderboom 2 and I have to say it was a great purchase.I really don’t think you can be disappointed with it. Sound quality is really good and is definitely loud enough for a small or medium room. It’s never been too quiet for me anyway. Bass is also not lacking, and seems pretty punchy for its size.Battery life seems to be great too although I’ve not owned it long enough to comment further. Charging is as simple as it gets.Never dropped a connection but I would say it can be a pain when you have two devices connected at the same time as the connection can get confused as to which device you are playing sound from. Just remember to disconnect seems to fix but that doesn’t really bother me.Overall though build quality is excellent and I love the size and design. Haven’t tested the water resistance. But I say if you can find it in a sale or used like new for a reasonable price and you want a good solid speaker I really don’t think you can go wrong with this one!Hope the review helped you! Stay safe! Thanks for reading!

I took advantage of a great deal to buy this speaker and I am very pleased with it. The set up and blue-tooth connectivity is great, straight out of the box. I have owned a UE Boom2 speaker for 5 years and love it, but it has always been a bit tricky connecting to different devices via blue-tooth. But the Wonderboom2 works like a dream. This new speaker is more squat in shape, compared with its predecessor, and much lighter. However, the battery life is far better. I don't tend to have the volume very high and I have found that, even from first charge, the battery has lasted significantly longer than the advertised 13 hours between charges. The sound quality is very good when I compare this speaker to others of a similar size, that I have heard, and it is noticeable that the bass response is better than my older Boom2. It also works very well for audiobook narration, but you will hear any background noise that was recorded - noticeable on older audiobooks. I haven't had a go at linking 2 speakers for a stereo effect when listening to music. The controls on the speaker are easy to use, particularly pause and skip and, this may seem trivial but the noise it makes when you switch the speaker on and off is much more acceptable than the tom-tom sound that my Boom 2 makes. So, overall I'm well-pleased.

I like to call this thing the holy hand grenade because the front looks like a crucifix and holy hell does it pack a punch. Straight out of the box I was surprised just how small this is (I can just about fit it neatly into the pockets of my jogging bottoms), yet it packs a meaty and clear sound and feels built like a brick. My parents have the Sony competitors (the XB22 and its discontinued predecessor) and we all agreed this one has the superior sound quality.The shape makes it easy to pop onto most surfaces and the tag makes it easy to carry around. The sound isn't equal in volume from all sides but this is only apparent if you hold it right up to your ear. I also noticed some reviewers mentioning an issue with latency (annoying for watching videos) which I haven't experienced. Out in the open it has a pretty strong range. Inside the house, it can be put off by walls and doors even from next door, which leads to stuttering. Sometimes this occurs also when it's connected to two devices at the same time but it's easy to disconnect one to resolve the issue. Battery life is good too. So far it will last me a few days with moderate to high daily usage. I will not test its water-breathing or shock-absorbing capabilities but it definitely has the feel of something that could survive a chunky drop (I think 1.5m is advertised) or splashes of water no issue. Also it looks really cool and elegant.

The media could not be loaded. i brought this speaker around a year ago now and it's been amazing. ive used it in the bath and shower many times with no problem.i think the battery life is incredible. i would be able to charge the speaker once until it is fully charged and it would last me days, even if i'm using it for hours everyday, i find that i do not need to charge it much. i also love the compact design, very easy to pop into a bag or a suitcase when travelling, it is also very durable.sound quality is really good for how small it is as well. ive used it outdoors many times, and although it has an outdoor mode available, i found that i didnt have to use it much as it was loud enough already. one thing to note, the louder you put the volume (usually volumes that are too loud for indoors so like towards 85% up roughly) ive noticed the sound from the speaker becomes more distorted. less bass but not a problem for me as i don't need to put the volume that high.

The IP67 rating means I can put this on my back pack and go biking in the craziest conditions and i'm not scared about damaging this speaker. Its dust and water resistant to a high quality.A carabiner fits very nicely into the top loop and can attack the speaker to pretty much anything.I wouldn't feel comfortable submerging it in water for more than a second but its still awesome.not sure about the outdoor boost. it doesn't make it louder much changes the EQ to a more treble orientated mix.i guess this works but its not what i was expecting (from adverts etc.)Pairing is seamless and you only have to tap the button once, not hold it down for a painful amount of time like other brands and models. Play/pause/skip feature integrates with old and new software which is encouraging as i don't think id want to go mountain biking/extreme sports with an $800 iPhone in my pocket, it works well with older models too and even on apps like spotify/soundcloud etc.overall well designed, has a good amount of weight to it and very durable.Only negative is i wish it was shock proof also!! would be perfect if so!
