Ultimate Ears today has introduced new generation of their portable and waterproof Bluetooth speakers — Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2. On top of the claims of bigger 360-degree sound and extra bass, the new speaker packs extended 13-hour battery life and an IP67 rating. The first version had 10 hours of playback and the much lower rating of iPX7. packing the IP67 also mean they speakers are dust proof for those of you who prefer going to the high desert than hangin’ out at the beach or pool.
The brand new Outdoor Boost feature is tuned for outdoor listening. Simply press the button located on the bottom of the Wonderboom 2 speaker to turn on Outdoor Boost and experience louder, crisper audio with a built-in and pre-adjusted equalizer (EQ) designed for listing in the outdoors.
Wonderboom 2 also sports two-tone knit fabric look with eye to what the hot colors are this summer. Don’t worry they come in classic colors, as well. The colors are Deep Space Black (Black), Crushed Ice (Grey), Radical Red (Red), Bermuda Blue (Blue) and Just Peach (Pink).
