One on One, the MEGABOOM is definitely a lot better, but when you pair two EarFun UBOOMs together, it sounds better than the MEGABOOM by itself. I also have the 1st gen Logitech MEGABOOM. It's also useful to use the app to see how much battery life is remaining (we've been getting around 12-hours of life, with use in different locations and clever standby time that doesn't seem to cost the speaker too dearly), or eye-over the built-in virtual manual.Giving this a 4 star because this is definitely not "Deep Bass".

You don't have to use the app to deliver music to the Boom 2, but there's a lot of sense in downloading it for its preset equaliser controls (still no full manual control here). In the future the app will allow more Ultimate Ears products to be daisy-chained together for even bigger output, something we saw at Logi's headquarters with 10 Boom speakers running in tandem. It's a nice solution, but obviously buying two products significantly pushes the cost up - and in this market Ultimate Ears isn't exactly budget anyway. And it needn't be two UE Boom 2s you might also own a UE Roll or UE Megaboom, which can be paired in any combination for proper stereo output via Bluetooth. If you have more than one Ultimate Ears speaker then they can be paired in stereo via the app. Saying that, when connecting at Tokyo airport we could have done with the loud bongos to be a little more discreet. We really like the clear meaning of these patterns, as pre-recorded voice - such as a robotic "connected" - tends to sound cheesy.

If you have NFC (near field communication) then that's also supported for touch-based connectivity.Īll this is accompanied by confirmatory bongo rhythms - one when the Boom is switched on, another to confirm Bluetooth is active, and another when switching the device off. You can even rename the Boom something witty (whatever you like within 15 characters - so keep it snappy). When it comes to Bluetooth pairing, it's very simple: turn Bluetooth on using your chosen device, press-and-hold the UE Boom 2's sync button, and you're done. Other speakers at this size perform no better - so if it's bass you really want then look to the larger UE Megaboom (or elsewhere), which in some ways does cast a shadow on the standard Boom models. Still, it's not all about bass, with the Boom 2 delivering enough crispness from mids and highs too. At this size and scale bass isn't massive, certainly not to sub-bass levels, but the UE Boom 2 pushes out enough pep for rock tracks, pop and a mix of genres to give ample richness. The other thing to consider is your expectation of bass output. It's louder and sharper than the original model, not that you'd really notice.
Perhaps the jump between each volume level could be more subtle, but otherwise we've no complaints in terms of output level. The volume controls work independently from the connected Bluetooth device's output, so you may need to balance output between the two. When it comes to sound quality the UE Boom 2 is really loud, but not to the point of distortion.

Or, as we've found in our case, as a portable speaker to beef-up audio above and beyond the tinny output of our laptop. Come rain or shine, it's suitable for festivals or beyond. It'll even fit into a bicycle bottle holder.ĭespite it rolling into winter and outside opportunities not representing themselves all too often, as we experienced with the first UE Boom, the sequal is an ideal outdoor companion. At 180mm tall, with a 67mm diameter and 548g weight it can be popped into a bag without being a major drag.
We've been travelling a lot lately and the UE Boom 2 has become our perfect travel companion. We've dunked the Boom 2 in the bath, had it fall from desk and an open bag without needing to worry thanks to its tough construction, which is reassuring. The flaps are merely there to keep out gunk and grime, should you be chucking the Boom 2 around a field, at a festival, or wherever.
That's one of the bigger points to take away from the UE Boom 2: it's now fully waterproof, including those lower ports, so even if the USB/3.5mm ports are exposed it doesn't matter. There's an on button to the top, sat next to a Bluetooth sync button those plus/minus volume buttons to the side on a rubberised panel section while a metal loop for hanging sits to the bottom, with Micro-USB charger and 3.5mm headphones jack hidden behind their own dust- and waterproof flaps. What's perhaps best about the UE Boom 2's design, though, is just how simple it is.
