"I'll think I'll buy 2 boom or megaboom later as they can party-up with the hyperboom, that will make a nice outdoor party set-up for sure !"

"Given that the battery on any of them will die at some point, and cannot be replaced, are any of these really BIFL?"

"I had UE boom in the past (the 1 and then the 3), I was satisfied with their battery life but they ended up having a lot of sound distortion on high volume after a while"
"I also have the UE Boom, which doesn't get nearly as loud but it provides 360 sound, which is ideal for outdoors and golf."

Lunaily 1.0Hello, I'm searching for an outdoor speaker for my winter job. I work in a ski resort, so it needs to be waterproof because of the regular snow, has to have something around 6\~7 hours-ish battery life at a rather loud volume (the machines being rather loud, the speaker needs to be like 70%+ volume). I can't have anything too big since it has to fit into a backpack already filled with my other necessities for my job (boombox are too big for example). I don't have any specific price range in mind, but I guess I can put up to 250$ for it, maybe a little more. I had UE boom in the past (the 1 and then the 3), I was satisfied with their battery life but they ended up having a lot of sound distortion on high volume after a while, that's why I'm asking for recommandations before getting anything.
Planetary_Residers 1.0This exact one. Everyone just avoid the Walmart SE one. I was there and saw this one and thought it was the updated one. I got the first Boom many many years ago and loved it. It's clearer and sounds a bit better. My friend has the actual Boom 2 and is even better. Not that the SE is terrible. I still really like it. Just wish I would've known it wasn't the actual Boom 2.
thepricko 1.0Second hand ue ultraboom, great option. But if you want something portable try jbl , those guys are easy repairable.
karmais4suckers 0.3I have had a UE boom for 10 years now and I still use it all the time. Love it
missingperfume 0.3UE BOOM is the best for me

supervegito827 0.1Ultimate Ears makes rugged speakers. I've had mine fall around a bit though never from a bike. I am not sure if any other company makes speakers that rugged. Tribit Stormbox Lava floats on water but it's huge for a bike. A UE Wonderboom or Wonderboom 2 might be better I think? Check them and the other speakers out. They're also mud resistant, have some shock resistance and float. The Wonderboom also has this lovely ring so you can hang it. Maybe they're just what you're looking for.
19VWGTI 0.1I have a tiny UE Boom I got for free when I bought a Samsung s8. I got the phone after it had been out for two years. Speaker still works flawlessly. Can’t even remember when I got it, maybe 2015?
BulletprfVest 0.1Everything in the UE Boom/Blast lineup has been great for me. I've got 2 Booms and a Megablast currently. The oldest Boom is at least 10 years old and still performs flawlessly.
CaptainHaddockRedux 0.1Can’t help on the fan, but highly recommend UE Boom bluetooth speaker
