Why Do We Recommend The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom?

Long 100ft Bluetooth Range: You can take this speaker anywhere in your house and still get a clear connection. While testing the range in our lab, it kept a strong connection even with extra obstacles like walls between the speaker and the phone.

Great Battery Life: This speaker can play for up to 10 hours on a single charge. That’s not the best duration we’ve seen, but you’ll still be able to take it to picnics, beach days, and camping trips without worrying about recharging.

Doesn’t Distort At All At High Volumes: You’ll be able to enjoy your music without any distortion, no matter how high you crank up the volume. Even if you listen to rock or metal music, you won’t lose the vocals with the instrumentals getting louder.

Easy To Maintain: You’ll never have to deal with any problems with this portable speaker. It’s fully waterproof, meaning you can even wash it directly with water whenever it gets dirty. Sounds handy, right?

Can Offer Double The Sound: The UE Wonderboom can pair seamlessly with another Wonderboom speaker. It doesn’t support as many extra connections as the regular Boom series UE speakers do, but that won’t be an issue at all. With one speaker alone having such loud audio, you’ll definitely get immersive enough audio production from connecting with another Wonderboom speaker.

Comments About The Issues

Bass Could Be Better: Don’t get us wrong; this speaker has good bass, and it can peak without drowning out any of the track’s vocals. However, the other premium Bluetooth speakers we tested still had far superior bass to this one. It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s something to think about if you’re looking for a speaker that can truly thump.

Needs A Battery Level Indicator: There’s an indicator that glows when the speaker’s charging and when it’s fully charged, but there’s no way to tell how much battery it has left while in use. That’s not a huge inconvenience, but many other high-end speakers offer this, so the lack of such a thing is a little disappointing.

Bottom line

If you enjoy throwing parties, you’re in for a real treat. This speaker includes everything you’ll need. In fact, you won’t even notice the drawbacks throughout the parties. The overall sound quality is excellent, and the bass is good enough, so you won’t need anything more.

We believe it could have benefited from a few more features. Nonetheless, it performs admirably with what it has, and the 9k+ ratings on its purchase page indicate that it is unlikely to disappoint anyone.

But there is one thing we must caution you about: according to our research, getting proper servicing for speakers from this specific manufacturer might be a bit of a chore. As a result, take good care of the speaker. As long as you do that, you’ll be fine.
