There's only really one thing that might put you off the Wonderboom 2 and that's the lack of an aux input. This uses an equalizer to give you a sound profile more suited to outdoor spaces, where otherwise these speakers can struggle to cope and end up sounding muddy. You can pair two speakers together for a proper stereo pair if you like but the new Outdoor Boost mode is more interesting. Being small, it's not got the most bass around but that's the nature of this kind of speaker and it's still better than most rivals and its predecessor.

Namely, a playback button on the top which means you don't need to fumble around for your phone when you want to pause or skip a track.ĭespite being tiny, the Wonderboom 2 has a lot of power and the battery life is even longer than before at 13 hours - that's a 30% improvement. This is still very much pint-sized and now comes with two-tone fabric and new buttons. The second edition of the Wonderboom might look similar to the original but it has various design and feature upgrades that make it even better. Ultimate Ears is one of the Bluetooth speaker brands that keeps smashing it out of the park.
