About Ultimate Ears

Ultimate ears is globally redefining the way people experience and share the music they love. Ultimate ears began revolutionizing the way artists interacted with their concert audiences with the creation of custom headphones in 1995. Today, Ultimate ears, a Logitech International brand, goes louder than ever with its award-winning family of wireless speakers that are designed for people, your friends, and wherever life takes them.

Ultimately, With Ultimate Ears we are going to have the guarantee seal of a specialist brand in all kinds of technological accessories such as Logitech, we have checked and analyzed numerous products from your family and the reality is that the vast majority of them have left us more than satisfied.

Packaging and design

As a Logitech product, we couldn't expect less from the packaging. This Wonderboom is presented in a totally square box that will reveal what it houses inside thanks to a cover, In it we can see not only the characteristics of the product, but also the color we have chosen. Once we access the box, we see that it opens as a ring box would, we will open it in the middle and in the center we will find the cylindrical speaker that enters our eyes from the first time we open it . It also has six colors, blue, black, purple, silver, pink and red.

The speaker is 102 millimeters high by 93,5 millimeters in diameter, As we have said, it has a completely cylindrical shape, something that could be scary in the case of a speaker, but then we will explain why it is precisely one of its added values. As soon as by weight we find 425 gramsIt is true that it may seem quite heavy for a speaker of this size, but as soon as we know its technical characteristics and resistance we begin to understand the reason for this relatively high weight, however, we cannot say that we are facing a speaker precisely light.

The device is covered in a quite resistant rubber for its upper and lower parts, while the center is completely wrapped in a textile of the color we have chosen. Also, at the top we will find both the UE logo that acts as a Play / Pause button, as well as the power button that has LED lighting in various colors, such as the Bluetooth connection button. All the buttons are perfectly designed, since we press them by pressing on the thin layer of rubber that covers them, and they are not buttons that protrude when used or can be damaged by dirt. Finally, at the top we will also have a small handle made of textile and quite resistant elastic.

On the front we will have two huge symbols of «+» and «-« that will allow us to press in that area of ​​the speaker to increase and decrease the volume as you could have imagined. It is also a determining part of this wireless speaker if we take into account its resistance characteristics. In the lower base we will have the microUSB connection duly plugged by means of an easily removable rubber, it will be the charging conduit.

Technical characteristics

We are facing a totally wireless speaker, it provides high-quality Bluetooth connectivity that will allow us to obtain high-definition audio. The fact of being cylindrical poses a problem for us when it comes to emitting the sound that Ultimate Ears has managed to solve fantastically, we will have 360º audioNo matter which direction you place the speaker, it will listen fantastic whatever the position, a defining characteristic. In turn we will have a maximum 86 dBC sound level with a frequency range between 80Hz and 20kHz. In terms of transducers we will find two active 40mm and two passive 46x65mm radiators, it hides a lot of power inside, and we have been able to verify it with its use.

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom features a rechargeable battery that gives us up to 10 hours of autonomy, with a total charging time of approximately two and a half hours. The battery is great, without a doubt, and it reaches the times more than enough.

We have connectivity Bluetooth that will allow us to transmit the same music to two Wonderbooms from the same device, or pair an almost unlimited number of Wonderbooms if we use their application, that is, we can have a swarm of these devices thanks to their technical characteristics. For this he uses Bluetooth Smart Audio A2DP that give us a radius of action of Up to 30 meters.

It goes where you go, resistance to water, impacts and dust

We were in the presentation that you can see in THIS LINK and they took us out of doubts, the device can receive all kinds of blows and even be wet, it will continue to work as the first day. For the tests we put them in swimming pools and beat them with baseball bats, mine at least still works like the first day. Its resistance level IPX7: allows you to immerse it in liquid up to one meter, for a maximum of 30 minutes. Without a doubt, it is a product whose resistance is certified, tested and even guaranteed.

Our experience with the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom

Just as we expected. We have to start from the basis that the little brother of the BOOM range is quite expensive, you can find it around € 89,00, which makes you consider buying it. A feeling that disappears immediately from the moment you take it out of the box, pTo make it work you just have to press the power button and then the Bluetooth conductivity button, it will appear on your mobile device and play music.

The Wonderboom not only sounds strong, it also sounds great. I am quite a lover of sound and in my house you can find Sony sound bars that cost more than double that of this device which do not sound much better than two of these in the living room. Although it is clear from its colors and resistance that the Wonderboom is designed for other things, it is the perfect product to take to the pool or to brighten the children's birthday. The Wonderboom sounds great and has flawless bass, which makes it ideal for indoors but spectacularly good for outdoors, 360-degree sound doesn't mean anything until you try it.

I've been using both outdoors for quite some time as the main playback device at my workplace, Most of the time it goes to 15% of its total power for obvious reasons, don't be fooled by its size, the speaker sounds impeccably good. The outdoor resistance has also been tested and we cannot comment on it, it has withstood each and every one of the falls as well as the times we have wet it, we could simply say that it gives everything it promises. Without a doubt, it is an interesting alternative.

Editor's opinion

Without a doubt we are facing a wireless playback device that meets all the specifications that it promises, we have tried other resistant speakers of lower prices, and although they were a good quality / price product like this SoundPeats review, In the case of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom we are faced with a superior device in materials, audio quality, power and of course design. Obviously these types of features entail a considerable increase in price, and that is because the Wonderboom from Ultimate Ears is not exactly a cheap product.

It may not be intended for all audiences, but it is clear that if you are a lover of design, music and good taste, the Wonderboom is an alternative. I have no choice but to recommend it in the specific case that you are looking for a product with these characteristics and you can afford it.
