Product Information

Full details

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom is for anyone seeking a durable, portable Bluetooth speaker with surprisingly big sound for outdoor and indoor adventures. Its key benefit is its robust, waterproof design delivering 360° sound and up to 10 hours of playback. A minor caveat is that while it offers good bass, audiophiles might notice a lack of high-end detail. This super-portable speaker produces clear, crisp audio with big, beautiful bass, featuring a convenient UE button for music control directly from the speaker, and can even be paired with another WONDERBOOM for amplified sound.

Troubleshooting

Speaker won't turn on

Ensure the speaker is charged. Connect the charging cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again.

Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then turn it back on. Reset the speaker by pressing and holding the power button and volume down button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Try pairing again.

No sound or low volume

Check that the volume is turned up on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure the speaker is not muted and that it is connected to the correct audio source.

Sound is distorted or cutting out

Move your Bluetooth device closer to the speaker to ensure a strong connection. Reduce the number of Bluetooth devices connected to your source device. Ensure the speaker is not obstructed.

Speaker doesn't float properly or leaks water

Ensure all ports are securely closed and that there are no visible damages to the speaker casing. Check that the speaker is not overloaded with accessories that might affect buoyancy.
