"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."

"the dragon 12s are closer to REL 8/12 subs. ... No soundbar has anything close to this sub available. ... The 12s alone make this system untouchable by any other home theater in a box. No comparison!! ... Couple the 12”subs into the experience, you’re not getting that experience short of Svs sub territory. ... It’s a house shaking, chest thumping experience that is not able to be reproduced by any other soundbar or home theater in a box. ... Adding the two 12s to the 8s really has taken the system to the next level. ... The house literally shakes now with honest chest thumping levels. ... BTW, the 12s are RELs! ... The 90 lbs behemoths in the room! ... The chuffing from the 8s many reviewers have noted is gone when used with the 12s."
"nothing trust me nothing will literally hit u that hard not even Canelo Alvarez"
"IER not having absolutely incredible bass is objectively BS. ... The bass reading on the IER is so off what you'll actually hear if you have them inserted properly, it's absolutely ridiculous. ... I have Fatfreq Maestro SE CIEM'D which are their heaviest hitting premium model - CIEM-ing it only make the bass hit much harder, and it's still not quite as heavy as the IER."

"If you want portable that you can take outdoors and get wet, check out the Bose Soundlink Max and Soundlink Flex. I have the flex and take it paddleboarding and camping and love it! Bonus: it floats!"
"they are by far the loudest small size speakers"
"The 4 sounds phenomenal given it's size - if I put it next to my hifi speakers you wouldn't realise that the sound was coming from that little cylinder rather than the hifi"

"I lost 300$ on a50 gen 5,has worked maybe 10 hours totally ... and dock station froze and stayed in xbox mode after a regular software update... ... tried everything i could,believe me..."
"if you also regularly use Bluetooth on the go, then Astro isn for you as the Bluetooth is on the dock and not on the headset ... Astro is definitely not worth the price when the Bluetooth is on the dock. That was a stupid thing to do, because anyone who buys a headset with Bluetooth would want to use the headset away from their set up and Bluetooth on the go"
"The prices for wireless speakers/subwoofer that sync with a soundbar are outragious. ... 2000€ or more for a sonos arc ultra + sub + 2 rear speakers."

"No it doesnt. it rolls of massively starting 65hz. ... at 60hz, you're already -10 db, which makes itvery muted compared to the rest. ... Anything under will be almost inexistant to human ears"
"Horrible bass. ... Could not hear myself until I upgraded to some nicer mackies."
"I started with the Shure 215 and it had NO bottom end (atleast not to my taste)."

"the Boom 2 is great, but oversized for your use case in my opinion."
"a little awkwardly shaped which is my only gripe."
"It’s just kinda big"
i love the wonderboom for its light compact just no nonsense design its my everyday carry. i have a tribit stormbox pro and a soundcore motion boom plus that just blows my old jbl charge 5 and the xtreme 3 out of the water. im sure the x sound plus 2 sounds better i just love the wonderboom form factor it works for me.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • i thought the wonderboom 4 would be good upgrade to the wonderboom 2 but all it got was a usb port and a different tune. save your money and get the wonderboom 2 over the 3 and 4. ->i have the wonderboom 2 i love that thing
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • i thought the wonderboom 4 would be good upgrade to the wonderboom 2 but all it got was a usb port and a different tune. save your money and get the wonderboom 2 over the 3 and 4. ->Ive had 2 wonderboom 2s since 2019 i cant be without it its so light and portable also its stereo which is a rarity nowadays. ive tried so many speakers but none satisfy me like this one.

Had one for years and its been great. Waterproof and has a loop for hanging off a rucksack. Surprisingly loud and bass-y.
r/onebag • Looking for recommendations for a travel fan and small Bluetooth speaker ->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.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What is the best mini bluetooth speaker as of now? Budget is not a problem ->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
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What is the best mini bluetooth speaker as of now? Budget is not a problem ->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.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What is the best mini bluetooth speaker as of now? Budget is not a problem ->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.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • So far, the best speaker I’ve owned ->i've had a wonderboom and i prefer the JBL or the Anker
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth speaker of all time ->Yup 2 boom 2s on special is great bang for buck
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which one would be best buy? ->I have a UE wonderboom 2 an honestly that thing is incredible for its size. A friend has 2 megabooms and they sound incredible also. I think personal preference plays a big part. I have not had the chance to play with JBL.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as JBL ->I've had my Wonderboom for nearly a decade. Battery is starting to go though
r/Construction • Best Bluetooth speaker ->I dangle my Wonderboom 2 with a carabiner from my backpack while riding on my onewheel, and it ALWAYS sounds amazing. Granted I’m not in audiophile mode while floating around, but it sounds great all around and the 360º sounds makes it nice to alert other people I may be coming since I don’t have handlebars for a bell…Also the external controls make it easy to turn on/off, Volume up or down which is essential, and reach the “outdoors” Button without ever looking at it. The JBL Flips are nice but i worry about how they would hold up if I wipe out. Also the buttons might be confusing reaching back behind me. I did see something by JBL with a little “Unbreakable Loop” on it but from my reviews, didn’t seem to sound as good as the wonderboom. Just my 2 cents…
