When it comes to Bluetooth pairing, it's very simple: turn Bluetooth on using your chosen device, press-and-hold the UE Boom 2's sync button, and you're done. Other speakers at this size perform no better - so if it's bass you really want then look to the larger UE Megaboom (or elsewhere), which in some ways does cast a shadow on the standard Boom models. Still, it's not all about bass, with the Boom 2 delivering enough crispness from mids and highs too. At this size and scale bass isn't massive, certainly not to sub-bass levels, but the UE Boom 2 pushes out enough pep for rock tracks, pop and a mix of genres to give ample richness. The other thing to consider is your expectation of bass output. It's louder and sharper than the original model, not that you'd really notice. Perhaps the jump between each volume level could be more subtle, but otherwise we've no complaints in terms of output level. The volume controls work independently from the connected Bluetooth device's output, so you may need to balance output between the two. When it comes to sound quality the UE Boom 2 is really loud, but not to the point of distortion. There's an on button to the top, sat next to a Bluetooth sync button those plus/minus volume buttons to the side on a rubberised panel section while a metal loop for hanging sits to the bottom, with Micro-USB charger and 3.5mm headphones jack hidden behind their own dust- and waterproof flaps. ![]() ![]() What's perhaps best about the UE Boom 2's design, though, is just how simple it is. Our review model is the more sombre charcoal, but there are red, blue and other bright colours with complementary accents available too. That cylindrical shape lends well to pushing audio out in all directions, which is perfect for picnics, parties and casual placement wherever you happen to be.Īnd let's face it, the Boom 2 looks brilliant it's subtle yet edgy thanks to modern visuals - take the giant plus/minus symbols that act as volume buttons - and the variety of punchy colour options. Like we say, the UE Boom 2 doesn't look particularly different to the original, bar the new mesh-patterned material covering, which is now made of an improved material.īut that's not to say there's no innovation: the original model was one of the first Bluetooth speakers to hit the 360-degree sound output concept of the head, something the UE Boom 2 tackles with equal aplomb - no surprise, really, given its footprint is the same. Is it a case of love at second sight? UE Boom 2 review: Design that booms Given how smitten we were with the first model, is the UE Boom 2 our new favourite portable Bluetooth speaker? We've been listening in the office, in hotel rooms while travelling, and when out and about on the go. But in fact there an abundance of changes: Ultimate Ears has redesigned the UE Boom 2 from the ground up, delivering bigger sound from the same external design footprint, there's full-on waterproofing (even with the connectors' flaps left opened), and some more colour options to boot.
