Ultimate Ears - Wonderboom PLAY

# 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.

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 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).

pretty happy with my Wonderboom

I have a Wonderboom and it's great.

For the small portable my affections are always with Bose. Some of my favorite speakers for sound stage, portability, and loud reaching well made BT speakers in super portable, easy to handle packages. I have three of their BT speakers and they really perform. As I get less portable, I stumbled into one not on your list — Logitech’s Ultimate Ears brand — which has some smaller BT speakers as well. They’re really well made and they double down on putting resources into the simple features I care about most (sync, app, weatherproofing etc).
