"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)."

"Its bass seemed totally neutered."
"My jbl charge 4 and jbl flip 6 suffered driver blown out despite no drop, no play high volume, and bass boosted song. ... My flip 6 sounded the same as the OP blown flip 6 driver here: https://www.reddit.com/r/JBL/comments/1047fcc/brand_new_flip_6_has_distorted_bass/ ... The sound is similar to this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15XT0ZtmimMEntpvqaPB0B63x4K5UVdek/view ... My charge 4 and flip 6 started doing this after the warranty is over. I didn't use the lfm mode and I played these two speakers at <50% volume. Musics are from Spotify streaming. Flip 6 used default EQ."
"it has pitiful bass."

"But if you're looking to add more over time then you probably want something like Bose or Sonos ... But that's as many as you can use with this product. If you wanted to add more over time to use within the same app or control system, you'd probably want Sono's IMO."

# 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.
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 ->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
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->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
r/USPS • Headphone are out. Are speakers in? ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->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.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Recommendation for a portable bluetooth speaker ->I like the Wonderboom as a good sounding speaker the size of a softball. Tribit micro or Soundcore Glow Mini are good too.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What is the best mini bluetooth speaker as of now? Budget is not a problem ->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.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What is the best mini bluetooth speaker as of now? Budget is not a problem ->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).
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Budget indoor speakers with great sound quality ->The Soundcore Glow or Sony Ult 1 seemed solid when I tried those. I have a Wonderboom great item.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Need help with party mode Bluetooth speakers under 200 each. ->pretty happy with my Wonderboom
r/Metalcore • Best Bluetooth speakers for the heavy stuff ->We have six in our family 2 x Mega 2 x Boom 2 1 x Boom 3 1 x Wonderboom
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->I love my wonderboom idk why nobody seems to reccomend it
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I analyzed 1 year of portable bluetooth speaker recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024–2025) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
