What I thought was a great little speaker.......
My cousin's daughter gave him a Boom 2 for Father's day. He brought it over and we listened to it outdoors. Didn't even know about the UE Boom App to upgrade firmware and the like. I was blown away by the clean and full sound from such a compact package. And it is H2O and shock proof too? Shut the front Door! I ordered one on Amazon as soon as he left and I got to my tablet. Not sorry I did. I've had this little jewel for a couple months now. Now, it ain't gonna blow your hair back, but I'm out of that phase of my life anyway. I have no buyer's remorse at all. As long as it keeps working the Boom 2 and I will be cool.
UPDATE: Unfortunately my Boom 2 stopped connecting via Bluetooth after 6 months of service. I received excellent customer service from Amazon and received my replacement yesterday. I did miss my speaker. Good to have one again. It works great with my Tablet when I don't feel like earbuds. Dilly.
Update 2: 4/14/18: The replacement speaker I received never worked properly. The on/off and connection/disconnection sound the speaker is supposed to make never worked. This concerned me but because the Bluetooth function worked I let it slide. That was a mistake. I don't know if I received a remanufactured Boom 2 speaker or what but 40 days after getting it (10 days past my return date) the Bluetooth feature failed to connect on this one too. I tried all of my Bluetooth devices with no joy. That makes me 0 for 2 with these speakers. Strange because my cousin's Boom 2 is still going strong. Not only that but he has two Mega Boom speakers that are working well. They did drastically reduce the price of both the Boom 2 and especially the Mega Boom speakers at many audio/video stores a couple of months ago. Maybe it was just my turn to get "screwed in the drive thru." My speaker still works by an audio cable but that sorta defeats the purpose don't it. It also cancels the extra features that come with the Boom Ultra Ears app. It sucks to be me.
