Ultimate Ears - WONDERBOOM

# Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM Ultimate Ears Wonderboom. Had one for years and its been great. Waterproof and has a loop for hanging off a rucksack. Surprisingly loud and bass-y.

Wonderboom is a classic. Get battery and great surround sound for it's size. For a picnic table outside it does a satisfying job. It's the #1 rated BT speaker by the NY Times. Of course there's bigger and better, but one has to remember that BT portable speakers are supposed to be portable and scratch that itch adequately. A heavy JBL BB3 really really stretched the red line of what's portable. Full stop, BT speakers will NEVER replace a good home sound system. Plus the batteries will brick the device in a few years when it loses its charge....So really, spending large amounts is futile for something that should be considered a disposable razor. And if you're really willing to spend more than $150, you better really use it more than twice a week otherwise you're losing money on that ticking time bomb of a battery which is permanently draining its strength month by month...unless it's a portabke plug in, which is the ultimate recommendation.

I use the wonderboom daily and in my opinion it doesn’t sound that great. But it is extremely durable, ip68 and gets pretty loud with decent battery life

I use it on a construction site clipped on to my tool belt so it’s pretty much perfect if not a little awkwardly shaped which is my only gripe. If I need something that I can leave stationary to cover a larger area I bought a Stormbox blast, and that lasts me an 8hr work day easily and is just loud enough for most jobs.

Nice collection of BT speaker! I see the two Wonderbooms. Did you connect them in Stereo and how did you find the sound experience in comparison to other (single) speakers? I think, connection of 2 speakers to stereo mode is quite nice an can replace a much higher rated and more expensive speaker. Maybe not in volume and power, but much more to a better sound stage.

i've had a wonderboom and i prefer the JBL or the Anker

I've had my Wonderboom for nearly a decade. Battery is starting to go though 

I’m a big fan of UE, my wonderboom has been through hell, lost in the snow till spring, floated a good chunk of a river without me, fell off a truck onto concrete, and daily showers for several years. The only thing is that the bungee strap is kinda broken but it still holds up

I had the wonderboom also that one sounds great (even bass) and the battery lasts alllll day at half volume. Which is still plenty loud unless you want people coming out the door wondering wtf that racket outside is. It’s just kinda big

I have both the Bose Bluetooth speaker and the smaller Ultimate Ears Wonderboom. The Bose sound is the best but the Wonderboom is excellent for the price.

I agree that the Wonderboom is a great small speaker. I use one mostly indoors, and it is great for the kitchen, home office ect. Its softball size is great so it does not take up much room at all. I never have connection issues with WB2. It does seem the Bose Flex 2 is still the best sounding personal speaker. The Soundcore Motion 300 or Soundcore Glow are both really nice values. I saw that the JBL flip 6 is still on sale at Best Buy usa and a few more places.

I like the Wonderboom as a good sounding speaker the size of a softball. Tribit micro or Soundcore Glow Mini are good too.

I just like the size. It makes it easy to pack and move around. It was better than smallest Sony when I got mine, but there are more choices now.

I have enjoyed the Wonderboom. I like the small footprint and 360 sound actually works well. JBL Flip 6 is good. It likely has a little bit better sound quality than Wonderboom (wonderboom sounds quite good, but I think JBL adds a bit more bass). Soundcore Motion 300 is good too. It is modeled after the Bose Flex. It does sound really good.

I have liked the Wonderboom that I bought during Covid. I like its softball size. It is super easy carry or put on a small desk while working The Bose Flex is a great sounding small speaker. I did get a chance to hear recently both the JBL Flip 6 and Sony Ult 1 they both sounded really good . The Soundcore Motion 300 and Glow both sound quite good. The Glow has a 360 sound design similar to the the ue Wonderboom or boom 4. (edited to fix grammar).

I like the Wonderboom by UE. The JBL Go looked solid from seeing it displayed.

Most are waterproof. If you wanted a smaller size for a home office or kitchen, I would look at Bose Flex, JBL Flip 6, Soundcore Glow/Soundcore Motion 300, Sony Ult 1. I have liked the Wonderboom by UE. I like its size that is similar to a softball. It has nice sound for its size.

The Bose Flex is quite nice. The audio editor for Cnet.com rated it as the best sounding personal speaker. The Marshall Emberton III is good too. I have the Wonderboom that I have enjoyed because of small footprint. I use it often for podcasts. New 1 has a specific podcast mode. It does a great job on midrange, and the new W4 has improved bass. Bass is not as good as a bigger speaker. My family likes it for classical music and xmas music . I use earbuds for classic rock that my family doesn't love.

The cylinder are a safer bet with kayaking. The JBL Flip or Charge or UE Wonderboom or Boom. The Soundcore Glow should be good too.

I do admit that showering and shaving goes by more quickly with playing podcasts. I have a wonderboom speaker that I use in multiple rooms.

I have enjoyed the UE Wonderboom. Good midrange sound and decent bass for its small size. If I were buying today, I would look at today at the JBL Flip, Bose SoundLink Flex,Bose SoundLink Max, Sony Ult 1, Sony Ult 5, Tribit Stormbox Box 2 or Stormbox Blast.

The Soundcore Glow or Sony Ult 1 seemed solid when I tried those. I have a Wonderboom great item.
