Last November 30, Ultimate Ears was able to beat no less than a Guinness Record by pairing the largest number of wireless speakers ever seen in one device. No less than 208 BOOM 2 devices from Ultimate Ears, ringing at the same time. For this reason, the guys from Ultimate Eears invited us to their events in Madrid where we could see live and direct how this "unbreakable" loudspeaker is spent. We were able to put its sound to the test in the most extreme conditions, that's why We want to tell you about our impressions of the BOOM 2, the wireless speaker with which you can throw a party in no time.
To begin with, the key lies in Partyup, an application that is available to all iOS and Android users and that allows us to synchronize an endless number of devices BOOM, BOOM 2 and MEGABOOM. In this way, we can organize a party in the simplest way possible, each user and friend can bring their BOOM and automatically, through a link, they will all connect to each other to play the same musical content. This is how we got to a total of 50 BOOM 2 in Madrid and we were able to enjoy their audio quality while we "mistreated" them.
Meeting Ultimate Ears
The Ultimate Ears company became extremely famous in 1995 for making custom headphones for musical artists. In this way, 80% of top-level artists have this type of element in their concerts, giving them the possibility to listen to themselves better and offer the best possible content to their customers. Eleven years later, Ultimate Ears continues to expand its business, and today offers us a range of wireless speakers that leave absolutely no one indifferent, especially now that they are owned by the well-known Logitech brand, a hallmark of hardware and software that we can hardly deny. So if you didn't know about Ultimate Ears, you should bear in mind that Logitech endorses its technologies and materials, thus eliminating any doubt about this remarkable brand of wireless technology for headphones and speakers.
What makes BOOM 2 so special?
The fact that you can transport it wherever and however you want without fear of staying with it. Audio equipment is generally flimsy, and especially when faced with water, its public enemy number one. Nevertheless, the Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 is absolutely fearless, these wireless speakers, with Bluetooth technology, feature water resistance (IPX7) and a rubber coating that invites you to drop it without fear. It is for this reason that it becomes the perfect companion for our parties. The price will not be something that matters to you when you know that you are having a device that is unlikely to break down.
So, as you can see in the photo above, I got ready to put it under the water while playing a song, and far from flinching, the water splashed, the sound waves and the power of the Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 were doing their job.
Design and availability
Colorful and fun, it is their hallmark and they will help us not to miss an intense summer afternoon in the pool. However, three special and limited editions will be added to the already existing catalog, following the aesthetic and differentiating lines of the rest of the devices in the same range. In this way we find the Vynil with a more sober design, the NInja, with a somewhat bizarre color combination and finally the Downton, which evokes the most popular urban sensations. These exclusive models will be found in El Corte Inglés, Amazon and Media Markt, And it is that these speakers are so striking, that these companies have wanted to have a unique and special model, which you can purchase for the price of 199€ in their respective physical and online stores.
