It's capable of putting out an impressive amount of sound, and while it's not exactly wall-shaking, it'll certainly command attention at your next gathering or small party. Like the name implies, the Boom 2 is a powerful little speaker. You'll find more consistent results if you simply use your smartphone for playback control, and you can disable the gesture controls from the app. This worked about half the time when I tried it. With the Boom 2 upright, you can tap the top with your hand to play or pause tracks, or tap twice to skip. The speaker also adds tap-based gesture control, but it was inconsistent in our tests.

You can adjust the speaker's EQ settings, set an alarm, and even pair it with a second Boom 2 for stereo sound with the free UE Boom app for iOS and Android. According to Ultimate Ears, the Boom 2 can last up to 15 hours on a charge, though that of course depends on how loud you play your music. We didn't have a problem with any of our cables, however. The charging port is buried in a recess behind a rubber door on the speaker, and while the cable it comes with can connect easily, you might have trouble using a different micro USB cable with a particularly thick connector. Like the first Boom, the Boom 2 can function as a speakerphone even without the telltale pinhole indicating a microphone anywhere on its rugged body.Ī micro USB cable and wall adapter are included in the box.
The original Boom was capable of taking the occasional splash, but it wasn't guaranteed to handle an outright drop into a pool. It's now IPX7-rated, which means the speaker can take handle complete submersion in water without damage.
Ultimate Ears made the Boom 2 even more rugged than the first one. Read Our Amazon Echo (1st Gen, 2015) Review The UE tag on the rubber strip is now also rubber rather than cloth, and the cloth surrounding most of the speaker is much more finely woven. However, the ports are now covered by thick rubber doors built directly into the speaker, instead of the awkward rubber protector that stretched around the D-ring on the original.

And it still has Power and Bluetooth pairing buttons and lights on one end of the cylinder, and a D-ring sitting over a micro USB power port and a 3.5mm audio input on the other end. It still has a prominent rubber strip down the side holding large + and - symbols representing the volume controls (with a hidden NFC zone for pairing with compatible phones with a tap locatd lower on the strip). It's still a rubber-and-cloth-covered cylinder (available in a variety of bright color combinations) that measures 6.9 inches high and 2.6 inches wide and weighs just 1.2 pounds. The Boom 2 ($79.50 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) looks and feels almost identical to the original Boom, with only a few altered details.

Ultimately, your own musical tastes will determine which speaker is the better choice for you, but the Boom 2's rugged build pushes it over the top in the functionality department, making it our new Editors' Choice for portable Bluetooth speakers. The same-price Editors' Choice Bose SoundLink Mini II ($248.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) is still an excellent-sounding speaker with more crisp high-end, but the Boom 2 produces a fuller sound and more satisfying bass. More important, it sounds better than the first Boom. The $199.99 UE Boom 2 is almost visually indistinguishable from the original, but it's now completely waterproof, and has a few tiny, welcome design changes. Now the original Boom is getting a refresh, and it's the company's best speaker yet. Ultimate Ears proved it can put out capable Bluetooth speakers with the UE Boom a couple of years ago, and its output has gotten steadily better with the larger UE Megaboom and the tiny UE Roll ($199.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window).
