#UE BOOM 2 APP PC PORTABLE#

The UE Boom 2 is an excellent little portable wireless speaker.

Small gaps between canvas and rubber spine.

It’s super-useful if you have wet or dirty hands and don’t want to tap at or unlock your smartphone (especially if you have a fingerprint unlock), but it doesn’t work as you want it 100 per cent of the time - so think of it as a useful extra but not a huge reason to buy. It’ll only work when you have the Boom 2 in your hand and are holding it slightly diagonally, so you can’t activate that feature accidentally when the speaker is on a table and you’re drumming away at it. New to the UE Boom 2 is a feature that lets you tap the speaker to play or pause music, or tap twice to skip a track. If you want proper stereo, you’ll need to buy a second Boom 2 and pair them in Double Up mode.

You’ll get the best sound when you’re sitting with the spine of the Boom 2 facing directly away from you, but there’s not a great deal of variation wherever you’re listening to it. That means the Boom 2 works equally well in the middle of a room, in the middle of a table that you’re sitting at with all your friends, as it does placed against a wall or in a corner and reflecting audio out around the room you’re in. Like the previous Boom, its speakers are arranged in a wide dipole and can project sound over a vaguely omnidirectional pattern. Those integrated microphones, too, make the Boom 2 work even better than ever as a speakerphone as long as you’re not more than a couple of metres away and talking at a reasonably audible volume. At lower volumes, it loses some of that even frequency response, but still sounds pretty damn nice. It just sounds good as a single speaker, sitting upright on a table or on its cylindrical face, at moderate to maximum volume, where and how most people are going to use it. It also has singingly sweet treble, too, which is impressive when you’re listening at louder volumes - there’s a combo of strong mid-bass and strong treble that makes the UE Boom 2 sound musical and enjoyable and immersive. With a 90Hz rated low-end on the frequency response, you’re not going to be shaking any floors with the Boom, but it actually has plenty of lower frequency power for a speaker of its size it’s very similar to the Bose SoundLink Mini II in that regard.

The biggest and most fundamental differences are in the sound quality of the Boom 2, and the maximum volume two 1 3/4-inch full-range drivers and two 3-inch passive bass radiators are responsible for all the Boom 2’s audio oomph, which UE says is 25 per cent louder than the already small-room-filling Boom.

The most significant changes to the UE Boom 2, though, are on the inside - where it counts most.

(We measured three hours, but near enough is good enough.) There’s a complementary app, too, for iOS and Android, that lets you set smart alarms, pair a second Boom 2 for stereo sound, adjust the sound of the UE Boom 2 with a five-point equaliser, and download firmware updates remotely - very useful, especially since Ultimate Ears is working on an x-up feature that will let you pair dozens of Boom, Megaboom and Roll speakers simultaneously. UE says that you’ll get 15 hours of battery life from the Boom 2, from a 2.5-hour charge through that microUSB port with the bundled 10-Watt USB wall charger and flat cable. On the spine, there are big volume controls - press both for an audible battery level reminder - and on the base is the microUSB charging port and 3.5mm stereo analog audio jack, both hidden behind waterproof doors, and a 1/4-inch tripod screw thread.

On the speaker’s top you’ll find a slightly recessed power button with a LED light hidden behind it, and a slightly embossed multipurpose Bluetooth toggle button in front of that. It’s a cylinder, 180mm tall with a 67mm diameter, slightly tapering at its top and bottom where the tightly-woven hydrophobic fabric speaker grille meets the rubberised plastic base and spine. The UE Boom 2 looks almost identical to the UE Boom.

Ports: microUSB 2.0, 3.5mm stereo analog audio.
