This speaker gets 25 percent louder than the original UE Boom, according to Ultimate Ears, and wireless range has been extended to 100 feet - up from 50. The other big improvements come thanks to what's inside. The UE Boom 2 has also been designed to withstand and survive drops from up to 5 feet, so all in all it's substantially more "lifeproof" than the outgoing version. This time it's no longer just water resistant, though the new model is now full-on IPX 7 waterproof, a huge plus if you're planning to listen to it poolside or at the beach. Like the original Boom and its also-excellent, smaller sibling, the Roll, UE Boom 2 is covered in Ultimate Ears' acoustic fabric material. There are some exterior changes you just can't see them.
#BOOM 2 APP REVIEW PORTABLE#
The whole thing remains super portable and easy to throw into your bag or carry in your bike's water bottle holder. On bottom is a flap that covers up the microUSB charging port and a 3.5-millimeter AUX jack. On top is a power button and another button that you'll hold to sync with your phone or some other Bluetooth playback device. It's still a cylinder that puts out 360-degree sound, and you still control volume by hitting two oversized buttons running down the speaker's frontside. The UE Boom's design has returned practically unchanged (aside from new color options). It's been three whole years since the original Boom made the case for everything a Bluetooth speaker should be does its successor make for a compelling upgrade?īased on outward appearance, you'd have an incredibly difficult time telling these products apart. Priced at $199 just like its predecessor, UE Boom 2 will hit retail shelves this month. Add those refinements together and you get the UE Boom 2, the sequel to our favorite portable speaker. How do you improve on a "flawless" Bluetooth speaker? For Logitech's Ultimate Ears, the answer is make it louder, improve its wireless range, and give it a more durable design.
