Ultimate Ears Expands its line of portable Bluetooth speakers with Everboom. It should be pretty safe to take with you on your wildest adventures, thanks to its rugged design and IP67 water and dustproof rating. It can even float, so you can bring it with you to the pool or lake. There’s also an Outdoor Boost button that you can press to boost the bass and optimize the sound for the great outdoors.
The oval-shaped Everboom is actually a smaller version UE’s Epicboom, offering 360-degree audio and a 180-foot Bluetooth range. UE says the battery will last up to 20 hours before you need to charge it via USB-C. In addition, there is a one-touch NFC connection that works with compatible smartphones running at least Android 8. UE says this will allow you to quickly switch between multiple people’s playlists when multiple phones are connected – perfect for campfires.
Meanwhile, the Logitech-owned brand has updated its Wonderboom, Boom and Megaboom speakers with USB-C charging ports and new colorways made entirely from post-consumer recycled fabric. UE says the Boom 4 and Megaboom 4 are made from more recycled materials than previous models and “feature improved deep bass radiators to unlock bigger sound”. As for the Wonderboom 4, which introduces a podcast mode, it’s the previous model one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers.
