Get the UE Wonderboom 2 if you're looking for a small Bluetooth speaker that doesn't sacrifice much sound quality. If you're looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that's small enough to easily tote around, and you want very good sound, the Wonderboom will meet most of your needs.

Full bass for a small speaker, Waterproof and dustproof

No app, No visual battery life indicator

Update, June 4, 2019: Ultimate Ears has announced a sequel to this product. The UE Wonderboom 2 is slightly larger, adds longer battery life and offers stereo pairing.

For its size, the affordable and durable UE Wonderboom is one of the fullest sounding mini Bluetooth speakers you can buy.

The Wonderboom is compact, fully waterproof, plays very loud for its size with a good amount of bass for its small size; It also floats in water, is shock resistant and has decent battery life; You can pair two Wonderbooms together to augment the sound.

No speakerphone capabilities; It's slightly too bulky for travel use.

Over the last few years, Logitech-owned Ultimate Ears has firmly cemented itself as one of the top portable Bluetooth speaker companies. As expected, the UE WonderBoom 2 carries that legacy forward.

Compact size; Good battery life; Cute design

No companion app; Lacks fast charging; box doesn't include charging brick

As long as the price isn't too high for you, there's almost nothing to dislike about the Wonderboom 2.

The new Wonderboom 2 ($100) from Ultimate Ears is a killer little Bluetooth speaker that packs a lot of punch for its tiny size. It sounds great, lasts forever, and is probably bombproof. It’s a winner all around.

Excellent size; Waterproof and robust; Battery lasts forever; Great sound for its size

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 is an amazing Bluetooth speaker that is portable, packs in impressive sound and it floats so it's your perfect pool companion.

Great sound; now with outdoor boost; Stylish design with multiple color options; Waterproof; dustproof and rated for drops up to five feet; 13 hour battery life; Great value for the price

No USB C; No speakerphone option

It's a repeat performance for the Wonderboom, with this second iteration being every inch as good as the first model. It's an easy speaker to recommend if you're after a compact Bluetooth speaker that will do it all, offer all-round protection and a bassy 360-degree sound.

Great sound quality; Plenty of bass; Stereo pairing; Good battery life; Compact design

Uses older Micro-USB connection; The older model is almost just as good for less cash

Huge sound; Easy to use; 13-hour battery life; Outdoor Boost is useful

Not much of note
