Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker - Phantom Black

Loud sound from small speaker. Crackles at higher volumes. Good bass. Love the fact it is water proof. My biggest complaint is the battery life. On the beach with sun hitting it you will be lucky to get 4 hours.

Love the sound the battery did last a long time but for whatever reason it didn’t come with a charger cord....I don’t understand why the hell not...so now I have to purchase one separately. One would think that if your going to pay $60 something dollars for something they could at least include the cord to you could change it.

Great sound and portability. I would recommend it for indoor parties and outdoor too.

I rarely write reviews, so the fact that Im taking the time to write how awesome this product is, says it all. Sound is amazing and the bluetooth connects everytime without always having to pair it. 5 stars.

One happy benefit of working at home is that I can listen to music anytime I want to. The writing muse often appears accompanied by a soundtrack. And I can be mobile: I spend most of my time in my home office, but I can also take the laptop into the living room or bring my iPad onto the back patio. ...Dont hate me. Most of the time, however, I rely on the audio built into the computer, tablet, or phone. While I have a brag-worthy audio/video setup in the living room, I cant really hear it from my office and certainly not from outside. So I was quite pleased when Amazon Vine offered me this Wonderboom Super Portable Waterproof and Shockproof Bluetooth Speaker. Im even happier with it, now that Ive used the speaker for a few weeks. Despite a product name that sounds like it was invented after the marketing team had a few too many beers, this Bluetooth speaker really is portable and it sounds good. And by portable I mean it has a little loop on the top, which you can grab with a finger along with the armload of other stuff youre carrying to the back patio. While I didnt intentionally drop it to test how truthful it is about being shockproof, it seems sturdy enough. The volume is managed from your device, not from the speaker; it certainly went as loud as I wanted, but truthfully that isnt very much. (Im sitting right next to the speaker, after all.) It promises 86 decibels of 360-degree sound, in case that helps you. I know its one of the speakers distinctive features, but I didnt test the Wonderbooms waterproof promises. Sorry. While I suppose I could give it a dunk in my pool, Id be doing so for your benefit, not mine. (Swimming isnt an audio sport, in my opinion.) I do have a few quibbles. The all-black finish is kind of cool, and looks like a Death Star egg (I mean that in a good way). But the black-on-black makes it a bit hard to find the on/off switch in low light (such as my office, when the only illumination is the computer screen). Theres a little bump your finger can recognize, but Id prefer a red dot or some other visual marking. Bluetooth setup was as easy as its supposed to be; you really dont even need instructions. That said, once connected to my iPad it didnt offer itself as an option to other devices; it may be a one at a time connection, which is slightly irritating. The speaker turns itself off automatically, if it hasnt been used in a while (15 minutes? 30? I didnt time it). Thats okay and surely addresses battery issues (I have not yet investigated what it takes to replace them). But I would not mind an optional app that gives me control over such things. Still: I like the speaker. Its definitely worth your consideration.

Sounds great - just as good as the full size, full priced UEBoom. Love that it’s waterproof and feels durable. Would definitely recommend.

Good sound quality but battery doesn’t last longer than 4-5 hours; advertised as 10. Missed return window otherwise would have returned as it’s not worth keeping.

Love this little speaker, it seems to be everything it was promised to be. I havent tried tossing it in a pool, but dont plan to.

ClicknGrab is the 3rd party seller of the Wonderboom LE Ultimate Ears I purchased. The following is the email I sent to them: This item has been opened prior to my receiving it. What the heck? NOWHERE in its description was it stated that this is an open box or used item. This was a gift but, not anymore... I am disappointed in your business, quality of your business practices, deceptive item description and will make certain that I never again order from your company. Am trying to charge this speaker and dont know how well it will work. As this was a gift, its extremely disappointing that the packaging had already been opened and likely a used (and returned).
