The problem for the Boom is that, when compared with speakers of a similar size and price, it lacks warmth. There’s audible distortion at top volume, and very little bass at the bottom end.
#UE BOOM SPEAKER BLUETOOTH DRIVERS#
Its two 1.75in active drivers and twin 3in passive bass radiators drive sound at a surprisingly high level of volume, and it doesn’t suffer too badly from boom.Īs with many Bluetooth speakers of its type, the UE Boom 2 has its weaknesses, though. In the mid-range and at the top end of the sound spectrum it delivers music with great clarity and detail. However, I’d advise against choosing the white version: the one we were sent got grubby pretty quickly.įor a speaker this small and compact, the UE Boom 2 really does sound good. This is a speaker you can chuck in a bag with all your gear and not have to worry about damaging. Its cylindrical form is available in six different colours, it’s clad in tough-feeling rubber, has tightly-woven cloth wrapped around the speaker grilles, and its compact frame feels sturdy and well-made. In design terms, the Boom 2 is almost identical to its predecessor, which is no bad thing, either. In fact, it’ll survive being fully immersed in up to a metre of water for 30 minutes, so heck, you can kick it into the bath by accident and it’ll live to tell the tale. You can even use it in the shower, if that’s your thing. If you leave it in the garden in a rainstorm, it’ll survive no problem. It’s designed to play louder than the original Boom, comes with touch-sensitive gesture controls in addition to its physical buttons, and is now completely waterproof – rated to the IPX7 standard – rather than simply splashproof.
