![]() At 3 o'clock hour, on the side of the square, there is the round Play button to the right and the left of play button, we can find two Arrow-shaped buttons which are next track, previous track, or, volume up and down if these buttons are held down.Īt 6 o'clock, just over the band, you can find the standard micro USB charger and the round power on, power off, and pairing button. This speaker is square-shaped, made of plastic while the band is rubber made, it must be worn as a standard watch. It is a really useful gadget for blind people, as it does not force anyone to wear headphones while walking on the road, with the White cane in hand or holding dog's guide you finally can have hands and ears free! Still, ignoring that, if you’re looking for one of the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers on the market today, it’s hard to do better than the UE Wonderboom – unless you count the Wonderboom 2, that is.Bem Wireless Speaker Band was presented at CES 2014 in Las Vegas, this accessory is a wearable Bluetooth speaker. In our eyes, the UE Wonderboom bests the Roll 2 in just about every way –except for the Roll 2’s handy bungee cord – and the existence of two like speakers will probably cause confusion. Problematically, however, Logitech is offering both the UE Roll 2 and UE Wonderboom at the same price without much of a difference between them. Adding all of these features up and it’s easy to see that the UE Wonderboom is an excellent waterproof speaker. The speaker sounds great, is fully waterproof, can pair to two devices simultaneously, can be paired to a second speaker, works with Siri or Google Assistant, and has a 100 feet wireless range. At $99 (£79.99, AU$129), the Wonderboom offers a ton of features and performance for its price. Where the UE Wonderboom really shines is in its value. Want the best balance of sound, battery life and waterproofing? The Fugoo Go costs the same but doesn’t sound nearly as balanced as the Wonderboom, lacking in bass depth and punch. The Color II sounds slightly better with vocals but isn’t fully waterproof, requires directional sound and last two hours less than the Wonderboom. The JBL Charge 3 sounds better, but it’s also twice the size of the Wonderboom. For casual listening by (or in) the pool, the UE Wonderboom sounds excellent. That’s not to say the bass isn’t good on the UE Wonderboom, though. Bass-heads looking for a waterproof Bluetooth speaker should look no further than the JBL Charge 3. Highs sounded good as well, but were slightly uncontrolled at higher volumes, resulting in some sibilance.īass is also good, but not class-leading. Sound is warm, favoring mids and mid-bass. The UE Wonderboom sounds excellent and fixes the muddy bass from the UE Roll 2. The Roll 2 was easy to hang from things like a shower head, but you’ll need to bring your own carabiners and cords to mount the UE Wonderboom. This makes mounting the speaker on things more of a challenge, and in some small way, helps to separate the two speakers however slightly. Where the UE Roll 2 featured a hand bungee cord that wrapped around the speaker, the UE Wonderboom has a very short elastic loop. ![]() It would have been nice to see UE offer USB Type-C charging as most phones and laptops today now feature the new connection – but this isn’t what we’d consider a deal-breaker. ![]() The only port on the speaker is the microUSB charging port which is covered by a waterproof flap.
