So, yes, it's definitely love at second sight - and we'll definitely be taking our UE Boom 2 all over the place for plenty of time to come.īut that's not to say there's no innovation: the original model was one of the first Bluetooth speakers to hit the 360-degree sound output concept of the head, something the UE Boom 2 tackles with equal aplomb - no surprise, really, given its footprint is the same. Sure, it's not cheap and you could save a little by buying the original, but as the world moves forward so too has Ultimate Ears. Have reasonable expectations for bass delivery and it's one seriously hot Bluetooth speaker. That's one of the few things that works against the UE Boom 2: it's not a galactic leap over the original model (which now costs a lot less), while the rest of the market is in the process of reinventing to play catch-up.īut if you're looking for portable, premium sound wherever you are, then the UE Boom 2 hits the nail on the head. However, since the first Boom was launched we've seen droves of competitors launching capable speakers at competitive prices, often with 360-degree sound output too. Perhaps that's a good thing, given how bad those can be sometimes. Full-on waterproofing and sharper sound match with a great looking cylindrical design - but it's more remake than sequel.
SETTING UP UE BOOM 2 APP PORTABLE
The UE Boom 2 takes one of our favourite portable Bluetooth speakers, the original UE Boom, and makes it even better for round two.
Given how smitten we were with the first model, is the UE Boom 2 our new favourite portable Bluetooth speaker? We've been listening in the office, in hotel rooms while travelling, and when out and about on the go. But in fact there an abundance of changes: Ultimate Ears has redesigned the UE Boom 2 from the ground up, delivering bigger sound from the same external design footprint, there's full-on waterproofing (even with the connectors' flaps left opened), and some more colour options to boot. The first UE Boom, released back in 2013, was one of the best small-scale portable speakers we'd ever heard, all things considered, so when the follow-up UE Boom 2 was announced for 2015 we were rather excited.īut on first inspection the sequel is seemingly identical to the cylindrical-shaped original put the two side-by-side and only eagle-eyed obsessives would likely spot any differences. (Pocket-lint) - Ultimate Ears has become more of a household name since its inception by then-Logitech (now just Logi), since releasing a variety of Bluetooth speakers to the market.
