Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 bermuda blue

Bluetooth-Laut­sprecher im Test: Starke Boxen und fipsige Kisten

Bereits der erste Wonderboom hat sich als verlässlicher Outdoor-Begleiter bewiesen. Mit einem verfeinerten Design und mit zahlreichen Verbesserungen soll der neue Wonderboom 2 noch nachlegen. Wir haben das neue Modell getestet und zeigen dir, was du erwarten kannst.

I am entirely unimpressed with the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2. It sounds thin and closed in, and its bass is anemic. Linking two into a stereo pair provides good stereo separation, but that does nothing to improve the overall sound quality. Plus, at $100 each, it’s pretty expensive. I would definitely choose the Tronsmart Element Force over the Wonderboom 2—it sounds better, it’s not much larger, it’s also waterproof, and it’s half the price. If you’re willing to spend $200—the cost of two Wonderboom 2s—the Ultimate Ears Rålis sounds far better, though it is much larger and heavier, it’s not waterproof, and it doesn’t have any stereo separation. If you want something that sounds much better and is still waterproof, the JBL Xtreme 2 is the ticket, though that will set you back $250.

As long as the price isn't too high for you, there's almost nothing to dislike about the Wonderboom 2. Ultimate Ears has taken its pocket rocket and made it even better with a more useful design, longer battery life and an Outdoor Boost mode. You might only be annoyed at the lack of an aux input.

UE has taken a great, affordable Bluetooth speaker and made it even better, delivering a weightier sound and some useful new features
