Ultimate Ears makes portable Bluetooth speakers, from the ultra-portable MINIROLL to the Hyperboom party speaker. Some models, such as the EPICBOOM and Wonderboom Play, are sold as waterproof. This page lists 7 Ultimate Ears speakers so you can match one to where and how you play music.
For picnics, patios and pool decks, the Ultimate Ears BOOM 4 is worth buying on sale. Its 360-degree sound reaches everyone around a table, and its IP67 body handles water and drops. Bass is limited, and WIRED and RTINGS got about 12 hours against UE's claimed 15 hours.
Yes, if you want loud sound outdoors at the beach, a campsite or the backyard. The Ultimate Ears EpicBoom reaches 94 decibels with 360-degree sound and an IP67 rating. It lasts up to 17 hours, but it has no WiFi or voice assistant.
Yes, if you want one loud speaker for house parties, outdoor gatherings and home listening. The Ultimate Ears Hyperboom adjusts its sound to the room with adaptive EQ. It runs about 18 to 20 hours at moderate volume, but weighs 13 pounds.
Yes, for travel, bike rides and close-range outdoor listening, if you want a tiny speaker that hangs from gear. It weighs 279 grams, has a built-in strap, IP67 protection and up to 12 hours of rated battery. Skip it for deep bass, calls, wired audio or app EQ.
The WONDERBOOM 2 suits pool days, showers and campsites, with an IP67 rating, a floating body and 360-degree sound. It is a legacy model with micro-USB charging and limited deep bass. Buy it only when a complete unit costs clearly less than newer WONDERBOOM models.
Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 review: IP67, floats, 13 hours in RTINGS testing and 360-degree sound, but no app, no mic and limited volume. Who should buy it.
For pool days, beach trips and camping, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Play is worth it. Its IP67 rating lets it survive submersion, and it floats. You get up to 10 hours of playtime and 131 feet of Bluetooth range.
