Ultimate Ears UE Boom 2

The new UE Boom 2 Bluetooth speaker from Ultimate Ears packs powerful sound in a colorful, rugged, waterproof build.

Full-sounding bass. Get impressively loud for its size. Waterproof.

Tap-based gesture controls aren't very reliable. No playback controls besides tapping.

Performance and Conclusions Like the name implies, the Boom 2 is a powerful little speaker. It's capable of putting out an impressive amount of sound, and while it's not exactly wall-shaking, it'll certainly command attention at your next gathering or...

UE Boom 2 review: Top Bluetooth speaker gets improved sound, full waterproofing

The Boom 2 looks almost identical to its predecessor but has some key changes on the inside that make it an even better speaker.

The UE Boom 2 is a compact, durable wireless Bluetooth speaker that plays louder than the original Boom and sounds a little better. It's stain-resistant, shock-resistant and now fully waterproof. Battery life is a strong 15 hours, and it can be paired...

Somewhat pricey.

UE has improved upon one our favorite portable Bluetooth speakers with some small but key design upgrades, including full waterproofing and enhanced sound.

Ultimate Ears Boom 2 review: Gesture-friendly, waterproof, and still awesome

Wireless Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen, so manufacturers resort to gimmicks like unique colors and different form factors to keep customers coming back for more. One of the more creative brands is Logitech's Ultimate Ears, who has found a way...

Control playback by tapping on the top ; IPX7 waterproof rating ; Block Party for playback from two devices at same time

Gestures require speaker to be picked up ; No native iPhone 6 display or iPad support for iOS app

Boom 2 is an excellent follow-up that adds a waterproof housing, gesture control, and playback from two source devices at the same time—not to mention you can pair it with your original model to double up the sound.

UE Boom 2 Review: Louder and Tougher

The Boom 2 represents an incremental upgrade over the original. The best additions are the gesture control that allows you to play and pause music without needing your mobile device, and the improved toughness.

Waterproof and drop-proof ; App extends functionality ; Vocals sound full and clear.

Muffled speakerphone.

With more ruggedness and a few new features, the UE Boom 2 makes for a good all-around portable Bluetooth speaker.

UE Boom 2

The UE Boom 2 is the follow-up Bluetooth speaker to Ultimate Ears' 2013 UE Boom – a waterproof speaker that made a splash with its insane maximum volume and stellar battery life. It fell slightly flat on audio quality, however.

Super loud maximum volume ; Colourful design ; Good sound quality ; Great Android and iOS app

Distorts at high volumes ; Expensive

Although it isn't perfect, the UE Boom 2 is one of the best rugged portable speakers around.

UE Boom 2 review

Chances are, if you're shopping for a Bluetooth speaker, you've probably heard of the original UE Boom , or at least you should have. It's unmatched in style, offers powerful audio and battery performance – plus includes a ton of features thanks...

Brilliant design Slightly improved sound More robust feature set Waterproof

Battery life isn't improved Same price

This sequel to the UE Boom nailed everything it aimed to accomplish. Despite the launch of its successor, the UE Boom 3, the second-gen waterproof speaker is still great.

Ultimate Ears UE Boom 2 review: Booming back for the sequel

Ultimate Ears has become more of a household name since its inception by then-Logitech (now just Logi), since releasing a variety of Bluetooth speakers to the market. The first UE Boom, released back in 2013, was one of the best small-scale portable...

Great 360-degree sound for this size, decent battery life, full-on waterproofing (now including ports), colourful design, stereo pairing possible, great app with preset equaliser settings

Bass has its limits, not dramatically different from first model, it’s pricey, would like more equaliser controls

The UE Boom 2 takes one of our favourite portable Bluetooth speakers, the original UE Boom, and makes it even better for round two. Full-on waterproofing and sharper sound match with a great looking cylindrical design - but it's more remake than...
