With the volume set to high volumes, the speaker would begin to distort.
#UE BOOM SPEAKER TARGET DRIVERS#
Cranking the 2013 UE Boom’s volume past 75% would result in the speaker’s two 1.5in drivers and twin 2in passive radiators struggling. While the speaker had great maximum volume, its loudness was a double-edged sword. Sound quality was a key issue with the original Boom. The UE Boom 2 aims to offer an improved version of the “360 degree” audio that debuted on the original Boom. Following 15 minutes of trying to drown the UE Boom 2 in my kitchen sink, I can confirm that it can indeed survive submersions in water. I’m not really the bubble bath type, so I took a more direct approach to testing. On paper, this means the UE Boom 2 can survive submersions in puddles, lakes, ponds, pints and bath tubs to a depth of 1m for up to half an hour. The speaker has been built to IPX7-certification standards. I, however, found the green, blue and yellow model on review a welcome change to the horde of monotone Bluetooth units currently on the market. The speaker is available in a number of vibrant colour options – which may put off some buyers.
The band houses the speaker’s physical volume and power controls. The 67 x 180 mm, 548g tube features a 360 speaker grille that’s divided by a rubber strip running up it’s long side and along the top and bottom faces. The UE Boom 2 is similar in design to its predecessor.
The new Boom box aims to fix the flaws of the original Boom and comes with improved software and hardware.īy and large it achieves this goal and earns itself a place on the list of 2015’s best Bluetooth speakers. It fell slightly flat on audio quality, however. The UE Boom 2 is the follow-up Bluetooth speaker to Ultimate Ears’ 2013 UE Boom – a waterproof speaker that made a splash with its insane maximum volume and stellar battery life.
