Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let's get down to it. The UE Boom 2 has a lot going for it. It's a loud compact speaker that withstands a lot of punishment. Connecting to it and controls are fairly simple. My only gripe with this speaker is the battery life for my purposes. I work at a car factory and use this speaker to listen to my music which is mostly Country,Rap,Rock and EDM. For what this speaker is its amazing as stated earlier and I have dropped this speaker multiple times on concrete and while outdoors. It's battery life on full blast will last roughly 2 hours. On medium with lots of bass you can expect 4-6 and with low volume you will see the 10 hours or so of battery life. I don't think many people will need to have this maxed out but some of us do. I compensated this by hooking up my speaker with a Jackery external battery bank. TLDR: Pros Withstands brutal punishment Loud Doesn't "crackle" on high volume Cons. Battery life is on the weak side.
