The Roll 2 doesn’t put out quite the powerful sound that the Boom 2 does, but we were impressed nonetheless. Strong and secure, it keeps the speaker snugly connected to just about anything. The backside of the speaker features a bungee cord and clasp which allows for easy clamping to your backpack, swimsuit, or handrail. Lightweight and rather unobtrusive, the Roll 2 can go anywhere you go, especially if that means under waterfalls and into lakes. Included in the box is a blow-up raft-like accessory which keeps the speaker floating in the pool next to you. No, literally, it wants to be in the water with you. Shaped like a flying saucer, this speaker is right at home floating in the pool. Charging from empty to full takes roughly 2.5 hours. We were highly impressed with the life of the battery as it went all day long and had plenty left over. The internal battery is rated to play back music up to 15 hours, but that depends on how loud you like the tunes. It also means that a summer shower isn’t going to do anything to it, either. Yeah, that means your crazy friend can accidentally kick it over into the pool. You might not suspect it by looking at it, but this speaker can withstand water up to one meter for thirty minutes. The model we tested was Brainfreeze other options include Tropical, Greenmachine, Cherrybomb, and more. Moreover, it looks and feels like a party starter. Rather than go with a standard black or white color, UE designs the Boom 2 with vibrant colors that seem to pop and stand out. Place it front and center on the patio, crank the music, and your guests will be dancing in no time. Interestingly enough, the Boom 2 produces sound that seems to come from all sides of the speaker. On the front face is where you’ll find the volume buttons.
It’s designed to stand upright with power and Bluetooth pairing buttons at the very top. The larger of the two, the Boom 2 is a cylindrical speaker that doesn’t occupy as much as space a roll of paper towels. We’re happy to report that both of them handled dips and dunks in stride and kept the tunes coming. There are a few differences between the two, of course, but either of them is a perfect solution for customers looking for a waterproof speaker.
We’ve recently spent some time in the pool “conducting research” on the two speakers from UE. You’ll want to pack something from Ultimate Ears (UE). If you’re looking to spend some time at the lake or some other water-based environment, you’ll want to pack a speaker that’s designed to handle the situation.
