Great little bluetooth speaker
Posted .This is my first Bluetooth speaker, so I did not know 100 % what I was getting into sound wise. I have not been disappointed at all, especially that it was only $100.00 at the time I received it. The speaker arrived with some juice in it's batteries, but I decided to plug it in, and let it fully charge up which took about 4 1/2 hours. On a full charge it's supposed to last about 10 hours. The box that the speaker comes in was just barely big enough to enclose the speaker and it's included 2' long USB charging cable. My USB cable was yellow to match the speakers all grey color with yellow + and - buttons for the audio controls and yellow cord to hang it from various items. I liked that the USB was yellow as it make's it very easy to see which cable you need without looking closely at the connectors. Overall the sound is 4 out of 5 stars. While the highs, and mids are there, it does lack some in the bass department. It paired very quickly to my 4th generation iPod and to my Moto G3 phone. I streamed an FM station from my phone to the Wonderboom for roughly 4 hours as I waxed my F150 and girlfriends Honda CRV. The phone was in the shade of the garage while the Wonderboom was on a small ice chest to act as a platform while I moved it all over while waxing the vehicles. The furthest the Wonderboom got from my phone was 80 to 85 feet and never once did it loose the connection. And while most of the time it was in plain site of my phone, there were many times it was out of site and behind my truck for quite some time, but the signal came through loud and clear. Speaking of loud, I did have the Wonderdooms loudness up to maybe 65 % and did not notice any distortion. The volume for the Wonderboom can be controlled directly on the speaker using the + and - buttons or from your device like an Ipod, phone, etc. The box that the Wonderboom comes in has a picture of the speaker on the box and it's the same size as the speaker itself. So if you're in the store wondering how big or small the speaker is, just look the the picture on the box. I have also included a photo of the speaker next to a 12 ounce can of soda to also give you and idea on the speakers size. The Wonderboom claims that it's waterproof and shockproof, but I'll hopefully not have to find out if that's true. Overall, I've given the Wonderboom 4 out of 5 stars. Taking off 1 star for it's less than robust bass. But I'd still highly recommend the Wonderboom for it's price and relative good audio.

Not what I expected!
Posted .I have to say when opened the box I was puzzled when I saw the cute little "toy" inside. I had to wrestle with my dog who was trying to steal it. She thought it was a ball to play with. It is about the size of a softball, but also pretty heavy and actually cute. I had to rotate it several times to see anything to make it function. There is a small opening on the side near the bottom to attach the included USB. I finally found a small "bump" on top with a small "hash mark" that turns it on/off. How in the world can I pair this thing, I wondered. I turned it on and went to my iPad and looked in "settings" Bluetooth. There it was. I touched "wonderboom" and almost dropped the iPad because the wonderboom made a loud noise. That was it. I went to my music and thought the Wonder boom was so small that I would need to crank up the volume. That was another mistake. This tiny little ball makes a HUGE sound. I absolutely love it. I can carry it easily to any room in my house and outside, leaving my iPad safely inside on a table. The sound is amazing! This is way better than the Sony surround sound Bluetooth on my home theatre, because not only does it sound great, it is soooo portable. This is going to be great for working outside listening to my music and can't wait to try it at the pool parties. If you like to protect those expensive devices that hold your music, this is a great little gadget!

Great sound emanating from all around

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5These are great speakers. They were submersed in water at the lake and work great. We have two of these. They can pair together from the same source or have separate sources. Sounds comes from all around the speaker instead of just from the front or front and back with comparable speakers. Highly recommend.

Impressive sound
Posted .Packing- Not much inside the box. Just the speaker, the USB cord, and a safety compliance small brochure. I think this should include instructions of the features and a plug for the wall because a USB port is not always available. Appearance- I don't mind the look because there is great sound coming out the compact speaker. The + sign over the - sign looks like a cross. It's something that I noticed but I hope it don't bother most people. I really like the rubber feel and the stretchy cord to hang it. Performance- Like I mentioned it sounds great to me and loud if you want. If you sync 2 wonderboom together I think this will sound even better. I played a great amount of music but I cannot tell where my battery level is. Having a battery indicator will be helpful so I can know to charge before it runs out. The waterproofing so far is working great. Now I can have the speaker in the shower instead of having it outside. Cons- I cannot answer calls on this and the music do not resume playing after missing a phone call. I tried several times and I can't get it to work like my other speaker. No wall plug come with it for wall outlets. I do like this Bluetooth speaker but I think it's priced a little high but if people give it a try they will most likely enjoy it. This is just a waterproof speaker with no added features that I can use.

Love it, love it, love it!
|Posted .I got my Mom a UE WONDERBOOM and I personally loved how it sounded. I finally decided to get one for myself and picked the Concrete color because it looks pretty rad. With any portable Bluetooth speaker, I don't recommend pushing the volume above 50%. And with the WONDERBOOM, I don't even go near that volume level. It's loud enough to fill most rooms. The sound is bass-boosted at lower volumes and that helps give your music a bit of punch. But as you turn it up, the sound signature balances itself out to protect the speaker from itself. An issue that I've discovered with the UE WONDERBOOM is that with some phones, the Bluetooth connection won't be perfect and the music will sound distorted. The speaker itself is fine with my iPhone and iPad. But distortion is apparent with my Android device (Essential Phone). So I'm not sure what to suggest here. Try it out with your Android phone and if it distorts, don't think twice and just exchange it for another model, something like the Bose SoundLink Micro or the cheaper Sony SRS-XB10. But if you've got an iDevice, I can safely say you're good to go and enjoy crisp, funky audio from this little thing.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Got this on sale at a great price. Sounds great for a speaker a size of a softball. Use it at work all day long. I work a 10hr shift and this battery keeps going. I keep it under half volume. Dropped it a few times at counter hight and no marks. Took it with me on vacation in hawaii and was flawless at the beach with the hot sun, plus the sand just brushed off. Happy with my purchase. Oddly, I use it more often then my Bose revolve plus even though my Bose sounds better. For the price of the UE I wont worry if anything bad happens to it since my Bose cost me 6x more.

Terrific Small Portable Speaker
Posted .Very big sound from a very nice and compact speaker. The 360 degree sound field is also very cool, meaning you can set the speaker in the middle of where you are and sound simply envelopes the area. That’s something that in a speaker this small is worth it. The sound is big, but depending on your source, can also sound flat and slightly high mid to treble heavy. If you’re using a flat source with no EQ, the sound is good, but can have that high mid to treble heavy sound, depending on type of music. Any music that is Bass heavy, if you have a source that can EQ, you can get the most out of the speaker, and the lows for a speaker this size are very good, just keep your expectations in check. It also gets pretty loud, so very good for average size rooms, and you can also connect two of them together to create a stereo setup, and really fill up large areas. The controls on top and front are super easy, and the speaker feels solid and well built. It’s also waterproof, which is a huge plus if you’ll be around water environments. No worries about taking to the pool or the beach. Heck, even using as a shower speaker is sort of nice. Charging is with a micro USB connection, and it seems to take a charge very quickly. I’ve been using it pretty regularly as a desktop speaker while I work, and it’s amazing, and haven’t needed a recharge yet. If you have a need for a speaker of this type and this size, definitely give it a go!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I was looking for an easy way to get music around the house without paying thousands of dollars. I thought I'd end up with sonas or Bose but this is doing great. I am not a music critic and I don't throw house parties. I use mine to listen to music as I clean or stream audiobooks or podcasts. While in store I tried these out and was impressed with the richness of sound and the way it handled music with some bass to it. I thought it sounded as good as the Bose. In my home it has functioned just as well. I like it much better than the Alexa and it's miles above that echo. I charged it in the car on the way to work and it is still on that first charge. I have not tried to use it in series with another megaboom but I might. The Bluetooth worked well with my iPhone. You don't even have to choose it on your settings after the first time. Just turn on the speaker and they connect. I can't get it to work w my iPad though. The only negative (and that's nitpicking) is the loud noise when you turn it on and off

This question was asked about the related product: Ultimate Ears - WONDERBOOM Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Lilac- A:Answer I would say a SOLID 7-8 hours. That is a fairly conservative number I believe. Use it almost everyday at work and once in a while it will die, then I remember that I forgot to charge it the night before and that is why. Hope that helps you and if you do get the speaker, you also receive the same duration of music to which I just responded.
