With a design not too dissimilar to a fat coffee mug, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom is a rough and ready Bluetooth speaker, design to cope with being bashed around a bit and can float in shallow water for half an hour. But how does it rate compared to other Bluetooth speakers currently available? We asked the experts at What Hi-Fi and TechRadar for their verdict on the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom.
