![]() The saving grace for the Wonderboom though is the loop on the top. You can see from the photo that the Wonderboom just doesn't fit into the cup holder. On the course though, the choice is not quite as clean cut.įirst of all, as I said with the ROLL, I think that the narrower cylindrical shape of the BOOM works a bit better for the riding golfer, as it will fit into a cup holder in a cart, or even into the drink pocket in a golf bag. Think large ball, with a bit less rounded geometry, and a flat bottom that allows it to not roll away.įor day to day usage, aka non-golf, I would definitely pick the shape of the Wonderboom over the ROLL, maybe even over the BOOM. I find the shape to be very visually appealing, and comfortable to hold. Imagine that the ROLL and the BOOM had a baby. The UE Wonderboom is cylindrical, but at the same time rounded. It's probably not fair to put the Wonderboom up against the more expensive speakers, but that ROLL is definitely in its crosshairs. This puts the Wonderboom in direct competition with the ROLL 2, and that is really how I tried to approach its testing. For reference, the MSRPs on the ROLL 2, BOOM 2 and MEGABOOM are $99, $149 and $299, respectively. I may never replace that car stereo.Īnyway, today's speaker, the UE Wonderboom, is priced at $99. The sound is definitely loud and clean enough for top down driving. I just drop it into the cargo net in the passenger footwell and all's good. Ah family…Īdditionally, until I scratch together the scratch to replace the dead factory car speakers, the UE MEGABOOM has been the audio delivery device for my ‘99 Z3 as well. All of them are currently “borrowing†one of my UE speakers. Phone paired with UE speaker is the music mechanism for my wife, son, and daughter as well. That trend was emerging back when I reviewed the UE ROLL, but now the UE domination is complete. While testing the UE Wonderboom, I came to the realization that all of the non-headphone music in my home is currently being played through UE speakers. My Recreational Golfer blog article last summer included the UE Boom 2 and MEGABOOM as well. For the curious, you can find reviews of the UE ROLL, UE BOOM, and UE MEGABOOM, by clicking on those links. This is the fifth model of UE speaker that I have run through my sound trials. Today, I bring you Dave's Take on the Ultimate Ears (UE) Wonderboom. You are free to debate the pros and cons of playing music while you play in that thread, but here, I'll just be focusing on a speaker you can use, should you decide that your round requires a soundtrack. With a new golf with music thread developing, it seems timely to talk about another speaker option for playing music while you golf.
