"First time I used my UE Boom was at the beach. My idiot self put it on a little side table next to the ocean while we played in the shore break and wouldn't you know a wave came and gave it a bath. Sound stopped and I ran to grab the thing thinking it was toast only for the music to continue once it wasn't submerged anymore. Tstill have it almost a decade later and it still works great. I guess they really are water resistant"
"they double down on putting resources into the simple features I care about most (sync, app, weatherproofing etc)"

"Given that the battery on any of them will die at some point, and cannot be replaced, are any of these really BIFL?"
Ultimate ears Boom 4. 360° sound, fits in a cup holder, waterproof, has a flap over charge port, fantastic sound and you can pair multiple together.
r/Construction • Best Bluetooth speaker ->So basically marketing has done their job well, rooks know 3-4 brands that’s it. Not even UltimateEars made it to the list :/
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I analyzed Reddit for the 25 most recommended portable bluetooth speakers in the past year (Mar 2025) ->Overpriced? It’s 150€ for a boom 4. Jbl is 120€. That is an insignificant price diff. I have mine for well over 5 years and I bought it used. Hardly an argument
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I analyzed Reddit for the 25 most recommended portable bluetooth speakers in the past year (Mar 2025) ->Bought a Ultimate Ears boom 4 yesterday and I absolutely love it.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best BT Speaker Under $150 or Less? ->The Bose Flex is nice. Good tuning. 2 is ideal. I like some of the smaller UE models. I like my Wonderboom 2. The 4 has improved bass. The Boom 4 is a nice model too. The Marshall Emberton is nice too. I have been told it is not boosted either.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth TV Speaker(s) For Apartment Living Room ->UE Boom is my favorite speaker. I’ve owned version 2 and now 4. It gets much louder than JBL flip, battery lasts forever and it’s very resistant, not to mention the fact that it stands vertically is perfect when taking it to the beach. I’m not picky with bass or other stuff, I just want good and loud sound for outdoors.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What are your opinions on Ultimate Ears? ->Listen if you want premium build quality and good quality sound then go for Beats Pill 2024 or Bose Flex 2nd gen. If you want loudness and rugged speaker that you can rough use a lot, go for Ultimate Ears Boom4 or Sony Ult1 or JBL Flip6. Please don’t go for Chinese brands because they don’t last long.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which speaker should i get ->i second the bose soundlink max for your use case. BUT you'll want to check out its weight and dimensions to be sure it's the right size. "fit in my backpack" can mean a few different things depending on the size of the backpack and how much space you're happy for the speaker to take up haha. if the max is too big, consider the bose soundlink flex (2nd gen), or one of the ultimate ears boom/megaboom 4 speakers, or maybe the JBL charge 6. but yeah size is very important here when it comes to narrowing down your options.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Recommendations for best quality wireless speaker on the market today ->I 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?
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->Everything 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.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->Haha, well, I’m sure plenty of people enjoy the UE Boom series. Personally, though, I’m not a fan of the driver layout. I find that directional speakers offer a more enjoyable listening experience, instead of having the left and right channels fired in opposite directions away from my ears for "360 degree sound".
