Plus, it features a new and innovative tap control that allows you to start, pause and skip songs, without needing to have your phone in-hand.Is the size of a water bottle, so stick it in your bike’s water bottle holder or clip it to your bag.Has a 15-hour all-day, all-night battery life.Has a completely waterproof (IPX 7) design.Has a longer wireless range of 100-feet.To recap, the improvements to the UE Boom 2 are the following I love the Logitech UE Boom app which still allows you to see battery indicator, set music alarms, and pair multiple speakers in better than stereo but not quite as robust as Sonos type configurations. I didn’t play too much with the tap control feature but it worked in limited reps I gave it. I’d give this about 10 hours of loud play – which is still extremely solid.
Micro boom speaker Bluetooth#
Like almost all Bluetooth speaker manufacturers, they’ve also embellished on the battery capacity a little bit. I would lose connection at around 50 feet with both an iPhone 6 and a Moto X. Its wireless range is far improved but nowhere near the 100 feet advertised. The Boom 2 is both waterproof after a few dips in pools and sinks and rugged after surviving a few falls from 4-5 feet. There are many intangibles besides its incredible sound that make this something to consider. The bass wasn’t all the way there but it is as close as you’ll get in a speaker of this size and weight. I can verify that the sound is noticeably improved over the original UE Boom and more into the Bose Soundlink Mini 2 territory.
The package is much improved over the previous edition, which was a great piece of equipment. That’s pretty much the beginning and end of the gripes, however. Oh, and you can’t keep your phone charged with this MicroUSB outlet like you can with some other speakers. If any of these things are used, the speaker must be on its side and boy does it roll. The keychain lock also sits on the bottom. There is also an AUX port on the bottom which also foils attempts to have the speaker sit upright. When it is charging however, you can’t stand the Boom 2 in its default upright position.
It is square at the tip so it is a little easier to pop in than a generic MicroUSB cable which is a pain in the ass. Most of my gripes around the UE Boom 2 are around this cable and connection. The Boom 2 comes in the same type of case as the MegaBoom which opens to reveal a “same as the previous Boom” package with a florescent yellow AC power adapter and MicroUSB cable.
Micro boom speaker portable#
Originally released in 2013, the Boom set a new standard for Portable Bluetooth speakers with its “cupholder friendly” and colorful design, great acoustics, and iOS/Android apps. The UE Boom 2 is an upgraded version of the iconic portable Bluetooth speaker from Logitech’s Ultimate Ears division.
