Sometimes if you live in an apartment, or even a house, you’ve got no sound system, or only one good one that’s in one room. And what if you want to go out in the garden and have some music to accompany you? What if you could have a speaker that was waterproof, could withstand falling up to 15 feet and that you could take with you virtually anywhere? It’s sounds like a scam, like the kind of joke where you’re promised it’s waterproof, but ends up breaking after just a couple of splashes.
This is not one of those times. The UE Boom 2 is all this and more. This speaker can connect to any device that uses Bluetooth, so not just your phones and computers, but also gadgets like Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home, which is totally awesome. There are a few things that make this speaker so great, but the true highlights are its durability, sound, and battery life.
While you can buy the speaker on it’s on website, it’s actually cheaper on Amazon, at $180, which for such an amazing speaker is an incredibly good price. It comes in black, white, blue, plum, red and also multi colors, such as blue and green, or plum and orange.
It is 67 mm wide and 180 mm tall and is surprisingly sleek for just a little speaker. It’s waterproof up to 30 minutes at a depth of one meter—which is pretty amazing for something that’s actually technology. The audio sound is incredible for one singular speaker, with the maximum sound level 90dBA.
The battery is also nothing to scoff at, lasting up to 15 hours and only taking two and a half hours to complete charging. When not in use, the speaker will automatically disconnect after 15 minutes, only helping you save battery.
Regardless of what you use to listen to music, you’ll be able to play it via Bluetooth on the speaker, but if you use Apple Music you get even more benefits. The speaker has a built in Siri connector, so by pressing a button on the top of the speaker you can tell Siri to play whatever song or album you like, totally eliminating the need to go back to the device it’s streaming from to change the song. The Bluetooth is good for up to 100 feet, which is more than you’d probably ever need.
With all that this little speaker could do, you would assume it would be quite heavy, but in fact it’s only just over one pound, which is incredible.
When you want it with you to sing in the shower, go whitewater rafting, camping, or just outside in the garden chatting with friends, this speaker is sleek, incredible quality and all at a really affordable price. Plus, you can get it in pretty much any color or color combination that suits you, how many speakers do you know where you can do that?
