Ultimate Ears has a history of producing loud and durable portable Bluetooth speakers with innovative features to enhance the listening experience. The Everboom ($250) is a new addition to UE’s lineup, offering a mid-sized option with all the signature features, but with a lack of clarity and fidelity in sound quality. The Everboom is compact yet powerful, rugged, and waterproof, with a 20-hour battery life and True 360-degree sound. The design is similar to the Epicboom, with large volume buttons and convenient controls. The UE Boom app offers advanced features such as PartyUp and EQ settings, while the sound quality of the Everboom is characterized by treble-heavy audio and compression, lacking in mid-range clarity. Outdoor Boost can improve the sound projection in wide open spaces, and the battery life exceeds expectations. Despite its shortcomings in sound quality, the Everboom remains a solid choice for those looking for a durable and feature-rich Bluetooth speaker. Consider alternatives such as the Marshall Middleton or Beats Pill for a different audio experience and additional features. Ultimately, the Everboom offers convenience and durability but falls short in delivering a detailed and immersive listening experience.
