Ultimate Ears puts the speaker’s battery life at a conservative 10 hours. And in that regard, the Wonderboom didn’t disappoint, either. Most impressively, the Wonderboom was put to the test by being tossed directly into the hot tub-and survived! The speaker even used its floatation capabilities to come back to the surface and continue playing music.īeing the life of the party also means having the energy to rally for a long time. After dropping it on the cement patio a few times, the speaker didn’t even get scratched. I tested the Wonderboom’s resilience during a boozy backyard barbecue and hot tub session.
UE BOOM SPEAKER 360 MUSIC SKIN
The Wonderboom wasn’t tested to be dust-proof, but Ultimate Ears claims its skin is “nearly indestructible.” If it gets dusty or muddy, you can simply rise it off. Most importantly, you can do all this without having to worry about the Wonderboom falling on the dirt or your buddy missing your poolside throw. Durability is also an important feature for Ultimate Ears. The Wonderboom is “drop-proof” from up to five feet, and rated IPX7 waterproof, so it should survive being submerged one meter underwater for up to 30 minutes.
And you can grip it using just one hand so you can toss it to your friend swimming in the pool. You can tie the Wonderboom to your backpack during a hike without its weight throwing you off balance, or hang it from the twinkle lights in your backyard.
It weighs only 15 ounces, compared to the UE Boom’s 19.2 ounces. The Ultimate Ears speakers have always been designed to be “on-the-go” products, and the Wonderboom’s smaller size really doubles down on this portability.
