Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, 360° Surround Sound, Waterproof, 2 Speaker Connection for Powerful Sound, 10 Hours Battery, Black

Only getting round to reviewing 5 years later. Got this for my father to take to work so he can listen to his favourite music, very robust, can take a fall no problem and the sound is second to none.Just last night he said "Best christmas present I ever got"

First of all I'm not an audiophile just a music lover and as a music lover I can assure you this thing is great. I actually bought this for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. I previous owned a UE Boom 2 which I upgraded to the UE Megaboom 3. The Wonderboom doesn't sound as good as the Megaboom 3 but when you take into consideration the size and price difference it's easy to understand why.For such a small speaker the sound is very loud, it's rich and it packs some bass. The bass is not room shaking however it is clean and not muddy. The mids are also for it's size relatively crisp and clear. It's good enough to use it outside when having a barbecue. For a music lover like me who likes to listen to music whilst cooking, drawing, in the shower, this thing is great you can take it around with you. It's not too big and not too heavy making it very portable.Overall the Wonderboom 3 is great, the battery life is very good, lasting around 8-10 hours depending on how loud you use it. Excellent connectivity with a bluetooth range of around 100 feet. I love it's simple design and I think it looks quite nice and stylish. It's got excellent build quality, quite robust, strong and durable.Whilst the Wonderboom is great, there are a few things that would've made this bluetooth speaker absolutely perfect for me. For one I wish it had a mic/speaker phone function like was on the UE boom 2, it was quite handy being able to take a call and talk on the bluetooth speaker. I wish it had an audio jack for wired connectivity, the only way to connect to the speaker is via bluetooth. Finally it would've been great if the charging cable was usb type c. However in spite of all this, it's still 5 stars from me, it's an excellent product for what it is and it is extremely good value for money (especially on sale). I highly recommend it. Hope this was helpful.

I bought this to replace our CD player which had packed in. As we're limited to the amount of sockets around the house I wanted a wireless speaker which was battery operated and which I could pair with our computer and my phone. I admit to being a technological numpty so it was a voyage of discovery but once I'd managed to get all our CDs into our music library on the computer using i Tunes and then syncing my phone we were up and running.The speaker is very easy to pair. I've got it paired with the computer and the phone and I believe there's capacity for pairing several more devices. It means I can now listen to not only music but also to radio programmes.I can't make any knowledgeable comments about the sound but everything sounds a whole lot better than when using my CD player. The bass is certainly deep.Although I'm delighted with the machine, the lack of instructions is not good. They supply health and safety warnings in a multitude of languages but no actual instructions apart from a very simplistic illustration in the box. I needed to Google 'Wonderboom user manual' which was more helpful but even then it still leaves a lot to be desired. I wanted to find out more about charging the battery but there was no information as to how I could tell when - a:- it was actually charging and b:- how I'd know when it had been completely charged. I had to guess that when the light for the on switch started to flash slowly it meant that it was charging and presumably it will stop flashing when it's fully charged. I couldn't wait that long to see.All in all however I'm more than happy.

The item arrived and I was so excited as it comes in a lovely sleek black box with general use and maintenance warnings and a link to visit the website for user setup instructions. It also comes with a USB charger note: will need a plug to connect the USB to the power. My iPhone plug was used for this. It required one press of a button to turn it on and one press to make it discoverable to my phone via Bluetooth and that's it. You can control the music coming out of the speaker using your iPhone or there is a button at the top to skip songs. I also didn't realise that the plus and minus design (I thought it was a pretty picture) - are actually volume controls.The volume and bass are amazing and this is very loud for such a small speaker. I've not even tried maximum volume for fear my neighbours will hear my music. This is better than some very expensive 3D speakers. As it's waterproof I had no issues taking it into my hot tub spa as it's difficult to hear any music when the bubbles are on- so this is perfect.It arrived quickly and at first it may seem pricey for a speaker- but it is well worth the money. I just wish I'd got one earlier!

Beautiful speaker

After 2 years of great performance it sounds like a cracked record and I have taken care of it very wellFrankly I thought it would last me longer , disappointed because I really liked its size and play

I bought this a few years ago and I still love it. The sound is great

Great gadget. Easy to use, link etc. Great sound quality and lasts well from one charge.
