Product Information
Full details
The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM is a super portable, surprisingly loud wireless Bluetooth speaker designed for universal use and any adventure. Its key benefit is its rugged, waterproof, and dustproof design that delivers big sound from a compact package, allowing for music playback anywhere. A potential caveat is its 10-hour battery life, which might not be sufficient for very long events without a recharge. It features a cylindrical design, direct music control buttons, and the ability to pair two WONDERBOOM speakers for amplified sound.

Troubleshooting
Speaker won't turn on
Ensure the speaker is charged. Connect it to a power source using the Micro-USB cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again. Try a different power outlet or USB adapter.
Cannot pair with a device
Make sure the WONDERBOOM is in pairing mode (hold Bluetooth button). Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that the speaker is not already connected to another device. Turn both devices off and on again, then try pairing.
Sound is distorted or cutting out
Check the Bluetooth connection strength; move the speaker and your device closer together. Reduce the volume on both the speaker and your device. Ensure the speaker's battery is sufficiently charged.
Speaker is not charging
Verify that the Micro-USB cable is securely connected to both the speaker and the power source. Try using a different Micro-USB cable and a known-good power adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
Volume buttons are unresponsive
Restart the speaker by powering it off and then on again. If the issue persists, try unpairing and re-pairing the speaker with your device.
