Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Speaker Review:

Price and Where to Buy: Ultimate Ears’ Wonderboom Speaker is available on Amazon for $100.

How the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Speaker Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. Want to play your music outside (or in the shower) this summer? The Wonderboom speaker delivers crisp, clear, and loud music that will liven up a party of any size. You can play your music for up to 10 hours on a single charge, so there’s no need to worry about electricity.
Value: 7/10. The sound quality is worth the price tag, which is an average price for a drop-proof, water-proof speaker.
Portability: 10/10. The Wonderboom speaker is wireless and weighs only 1.3 lbs. Its dimensions are 4.2″ x 4.6″ x 5.2″.
Durability: 10/10. This speaker can handle whatever you throw at it: It’s waterproof (can withstand depths of one meter for up to 30 minutes), it floats, and it’s durable (it’s been drop tested from 1.7 meters).
Cool Factor: 9/10. The Wonderboom comes in fun colors and delivers great sounding music.

Final Verdict: The Wonderboom is tiny, loud, lightweight, and easy to use—what more could you ask for from a Bluetooth speaker?
