UE Boom 2 Full Review

Design of UE Boom 2

The UE Boom 2 looks and feels almost identical to the original Boom, with only a few altered details. It’s still a rubber-and-cloth-covered cylinder. It still has a prominent rubber strip down the side holding large + and – symbols representing the volume controls. And it still has Power and Bluetooth pairing buttons and lights on one end of the cylinder, and a D-ring sitting over a micro USB power port and a 3.5mm audio input on the other end. However, the ports are now covered by thick rubber doors built directly into the speaker.

Ultimate Ears made the Boom 2 even more rugged than the first one. It can take handle complete submersion in water without damage. The original Boom was capable of taking the occasional splash, but it wasn’t guaranteed to handle an outright drop into a pool. Like the first Boom, the UE Boom 2 can function as a speakerphone even without the telltale pinhole indicating a microphone anywhere on its rugged body.
