Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Bluetooth review

Good sound for its size ; Super durable design ; It floats

Unorthodox controls and interface

The Wonderboom’s features and design seem tooled for outdoor use, and with summer approaching, this is important. It’s durable, sounds good, and it floats. At $100, there’s a strong case to be made for Wonderboom as one of the best mini Bluetooth...

UE Wonderboom review

Meet the Wonderboom, the newest family member in Ultimate Ears' line of popular portable Bluetooth speakers. Available in six colors, the Wonderboom looks like the UE Boom 2 's shorter, fatter sibling -- and like that model, it's also water-resistant....

The Wonderboom is compact, fully waterproof, plays very loud for its size with a good amount of bass for its small size. It also floats in water, is shock resistant and has decent battery life. You can pair two Wonderbooms together to augment the sound.

No speakerphone capabilities. It's slightly too bulky for travel use.

For its size, the affordable and durable UE Wonderboom is one of the fullest sounding mini Bluetooth speakers you can buy.

Ultimate Ears UE Wonderboom

The Ultimate Ears UE Wonderboom is a small, rugged Bluetooth speaker that produces a surprising punch of sound for its size.

Powerful for its size. Waterproof.

Can distort on very deep lows at maximum volume. Lacks high frequency crispness.

The UE Wonderboom is an appealing, rugged little Bluetooth speaker with a relatively pocket-friendly price. It gets impressively loud and its performance is solid, even if it suffers from the same weaknesses in the extreme lows and highs as many small...

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom review: A great speaker for its price range

Finding a good Bluetooth speaker at an affordable price is a hassle, and it becomes an even more difficult endeavor when you need that in a portable package. Ultimate Ears thinks it may have a solution to this conundrum with its new Wonderboom speaker,...

Nice sound quality despite its small size ; Affordable, waterproof speaker at $99 ; Easy to use with a simple interface

Can be a little loud aesthetically depending on your color choice ; Battery indicator is a little too general

I have to say that Ultimate Ears has delivered a quality device with the Wonderboom. Though there are some aesthetic choices I find questionable, that doesn’t detract from the fact that the Wonderboom is a good choice for its price range. As with...

Review: Ultimate Ears UE Wonderboom | A Musical Hand Grenade Ultimate Ears UE Wonderboom

Wonderboom takes care of the party at the beach, in the shower and at the pool party.

Can be paired for greater sound. Long range. Good volume and sound quality.

No app for party mode. Two speakers do not imply stereo sound. No microphone.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Review: A Submersible Grenade With Explosive Sound - MySmartPrice

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom is the latest addition to the Logitech-owned company's line of portable waterproof speakers. This seemingly unassuming device is the size of a coffee mug, but don't let its small demeanour fool you. It's surprisingly...

Poor battery-level indication interface.

UE WonderBoom Review

A great $99 speaker to recommend was of course the UE Roll 2 . It hit the sweet spot in terms of pricing and gave you a nice sound experience mixed with its ability to be waterproof. Its discus style and wild array of color patterns helped it stand out...

UE Wonderboom Review

The Wonderboom is the latest entry-level rugged Bluetooth speaker from Ultimate Ears. It's designed for first-time buyers looking for a flexible speaker that can be used for everything from casual days in the park to extreme sports situations. ...

Pretty much unbreakable Solid battery life Ridiculously loud

Doesn't handle mid-range well

The Wonderboom is one the best speakers you can get for less than £100.
