Loud, bassy beast; needs EQ, no aux.

Big_Goose_730As someone who owns the Wonderboom 2, I can personally attest that UE products have excellent durability.
bjgisI have had the Wonderboom 2 and 4 and really like them. Balanced, nice sound.
doddydaddy69Wonderboom 2/3 or Marshall Middleton if you have a little more to spend
LeviastinI 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.
marciltheshellI mean, you don't need an Xtreme or BoomBox. I have the Charge 6 and very happy with it. I upgraded from a Wonderboom 2.
Redditer052Nice I just got mine for 65 and happy with it
