![]() Think travel like car camping, road trips, tour groups (the kind with rolling luggage, tour busses), etc. The speaker is small and portable, so makes a great travel speaker if weight isn’t your primary concern. The cool thing about the Boom2 is it’s broad appeal to a bunch of audiences. “UE BOOM 2 is the 360-degree wireless Bluetooth speaker that blasts loud, insanely great sound with deep, powerful bass. It’s roughly the volume of a pint of beer, fits in cup holders, comes in bold colors, is minimally waterproof, ruggedized, and has premium, eq’d sound. The UE Boom2 is the latest generation of Ultimate Ears’ popular portable, rugged bluetooth speaker. It’s mid-sized in the lineup, and straddles the line between portability and sound quality. First, the flagship of the line is the original Boom – called the Boom2 in its current generation. ![]() That’s to say, I have a lot of experience with the Boom, and know how it sounds. This comes after owning the original UE Boom for about two years, and listening to is almost daily in my car, at home, in my office, and in parking lots while putting on ski gear. But I hope that someone like me who goes to Harstyle/Hardcore, EDM, Hip-hop, Pop, you name it (because what genre of music doesn't have bass in their songs anymore), makes me think about the buy this speaker because honestly, compared to that charge from 2013 I would have said, Yes (sturdier, more beautiful, etc) but compared to speakers that are on the market now, in 2018, a big NO, save your money or spend just a little more for something much better.Over the past few weeks, I’ve been listening to the current-generation of Ultimate Ears’ Bluetooth Speaker lineup the UE Megaboom, UE Boom2, and UE Roll. "Hehe, he's finally done with his whining." Sorry for the super long review. It is also not that if you sit at the back of the speaker that you do not hear anything at all, because then the UE also hears nothing at the front and back since he has the speakers on the "sides". Owja and that 360 Degree sound is just a marketing stunt, everyone puts the Just put the speaker on a table, desk, cabinet on the side of the room, or in a corner, and not in the middle of the room, and even then, place the speaker with the speakers facing you. Also, all the aforementioned speakers are just waterproof, as perhaps everyone uses them, if they fall out of hands in the pool or in the shower or bath, etc. Slightly more expensive, better sound quality in every way and of course more bass (again). And if you just want an all-round better speaker go for the Charge 4 which is slightly newer than the Boom 3. Of course the same “sound” as the XB-31 (so a lot of bass). In terms of price, the Sony XB-31 is cheaper, less high and middle tones, but a bass that is 4 to 5 times better (and then the Extra bass button can still be added) and the XB-41 is just a size larger slightly more expensive but much harder. In terms of size, buy the JBL Flip 4, cheaper, slightly smaller even, equally waterproof and floating, and better sound quality (more bass, more neutral sound, also good mids and highs). No idea why you would want to buy this speaker unless you are someone who goes camping every weekend and is so careless with expensive electronics that it has to be water and dust proof. But it is waterproof, and floating is more than enough for 90% of people, I think. Waterproof, dustproof, floats, resistant to a spray of water (garden hose, shower, etc.). By the way, the app is is easy and convenient, if it is within bluetooth range it can be turned on via the app, surely the best feature after the build quality. I don't understand why the UE went for this "sound signature" as it is not even really a neutral sound is because then there should be more bass. ![]() The mids (mainly voices) are very good, as are the highs which are also fine. Now that I have it for a few days given a chance I must say I'm very disappointed Let's start: Sound, when I compare this with the old (now elderly Charge 1) the bass is not found on the UE, not even with the Bass EQ you have on the UE App can turn on. Checked reviews online, also here at coolblue, All fine, satisfied, all in all good reviews. Then I bought a speaker from UE online, the Boom 3. (not waterproof, the hard plastic design, sound quality (etc). Only yes, the Charge is of course getting a bit old. ![]() I have been using this for years with pleasure, super satisfied with it (especially if you compare it, in terms of price and accessories, with now. To start with, I have (since 2013) the JBL Charge (1). First sorry for everyone who thinks this speaker is great, but this is my opinion. ![]()
