UE Boom rugged outdoor speakers refreshed with USB-C, more recycled plastic

Outdoor rugged portable speaker brand Ultimate Ears has launched a refreshed product range which finally charges with USB-C thank goodness and is made with increased amounts of recycled plastic.

The main changes are:

new mid range EVERBOOM speaker
New colours using 100% recycled fabric
USB-C charging ports
BOOM 4 and MEGABOOM 4: Enhanced bass
WONDERBOOM 4: New podcast mode for improved spoken audio

The new EVERBOOM is a new 360 IP67 rated waterproof option smaller but similar to the similarly oval shaped EPICBOOM. WONDERBOOM 4, BOOM 4 and MEGABOOM 4 are as their names suggest the 4th generation of these speakers.

Jonah Staw, general manager of Ultimate Ears commented:

“Our users have dynamic lives that require a soundtrack as adaptable and resilient as their various activities.EVERBOOM is our answer to their call for a portable speaker that marries robustness with superior sound quality. It’s meant to be a core part of their explorations.”

EVERBOOM delivers high-quality audio in a portable, durable package. Its oval design produces loud, clear sound with deep bass and distinct vocals. Waterproof, dustproof, and floatable, it’s ideal for outdoor adventures. Features include a 55-meter Bluetooth range, 20-hour battery life, Outdoor Boost button, and NFC pairing. The carabiner allows easy attachment to gear.

All models feature 100% recycled polyester fabric and packaging uses FSC-certified paper from sustainable sources, the exact recycled content is:

EVERBOOM: 58% recycled plastic
WONDERBOOM 4: 31% recycled plastic
BOOM 4: 52% recycled plastic
MEGABOOM 4: 54% recycled plastic

The UE BOOM app’s new Megaphone feature turns compatible speakers into voice amplifiers. Users can project their voice through the speaker by tapping a button and speaking into their phone.

While useful for gatherings or outdoor activities, this feature has potential for misuse in public spaces, where it could cause disturbance. The feature is available on all UE BOOM app-compatible speakers.

These new and refreshed Ultimate Ears speakers are available for pre-order in Australia from June 26, 2024:

EVERBOOM: RRP $349.95
WONDERBOOM 4: RRP $149.95
BOOM 4: RRP $229.95
