Review on πŸ”Š Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2: Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with Big Bass 360 Sound, Waterproof IP67 & 100 Ft Range - Ice Grey by Sean Garrison

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great sound, lack of functionality.

Nobody: Ultimate Ears (Logitech): Let's make our all-round good product as annoying as possible. Who doesn't love a plethora of loud noises that can't be turned off? That's what customers want! This speaker sounds pretty good; any speaker that costs $60 should do the trick. It's an expectation. The functionality of this speaker (read: unnecessary and extremely annoying extras that nobody asked for) cannot be configured in any way, which is extremely annoying considering the higher price. It makes a very loud noise both when turning on and turning on. And when it's over It turns off automatically after 15 minutes of non-use - it's supposed to be a battery saver, but it doesn't stay on even when plugged in. So if I pause the music for 15 minutes and pause it again, I have to turn the speaker back on every time. And every time he makes this awfully loud noise. So frustrating! Why turn on a feature that NO ONE REQUIRES and then make it impossible to turn off? Would you like to fall asleep while listening to something relaxing? I can not. Want to turn on the speaker without waking up the whole family? I can not. How about turning it off for the same reason? I can not. So dumb, honestly, what complete bullshit. There's an app that lets you control similar settings on their other speakers, but for some reason they decided the Wonderboom wouldn't be compatible with that app. How stupid is that? No chance of buying this again until this nonsense is fixed. As I type this my speaker just went off loud lol. So stupid.

Pros
  • Portable Speakers & Docking Stations
Cons
  • Modern
