And despite its older microUSB charger, they help it keep its place here as one of the best IP67-rated Bluetooth speakers you can buy, period. We also found this successor to have a better bass response, which should please bassheads and party folks.Ĭombined, these seemingly minor upgrades not only keep the UE Wonderboom 2 on our list of the best outdoor speakers for another year. The original UE Wonderboom has been at the top of our best waterproof speaker list since its 2019 debut and for good reason: It’s rugged, plays louder than its diminutive sound suggests, and could be paired with other UE Wonderboom speakers to amplify sound.Īlthough the UE Wonderboom 2 looks nearly identical to the original, Ultimate Ears packed in a slew of upgrades that make the Wonderboom 2 even better, like the increased battery life (up 30% compared to the original) and an Outdoor Boost feature that helps the speaker get even louder than before. Seen an IP67 speaker? Good, that means that in addition to waterproofing, the speaker has also been tested against sand and dust ingress – the 'X' in IPX7 just means the model hasn't been tested for this. Planning to hang out at the beach a lot? Look for IP67.

And that includes the portable speaker you're bringing, especially if you're in the splash zone – nobody wants your beloved wireless speaker malfunctioning because somebody accidentally sloshed water on it.Ĭamping? Even more reason to invest in a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, because (spoiler alert) at some point, you're going to be faced with a healthy dose of mother nature.
