Powerful Smartphone Speakers

Sounds from the UE Boom 2 are Hardier, Louder and Travel Farther

— September 23, 2015 — Tech
The UE Boom 2 is the latest version of the Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speaker. Widely considered to be one of the best smartphone-connected speakers available, the original UE Boom boasted a wide wireless range, superior sound quality and high durability.

The new UE Boom 2 doubles the wireless range of the UE Boom, and increases its volume capacity by 25 percent. It is also waterproof and dust-proof, unlike the first iteration of the cylindrical speaker. Another improvement sees the UE Boom 2 outfitted with a tighter weave of mesh fabric on the speaker. According to Ultimate Ears, this will allow its design collaborators to more easily create unique patterns and graphics to decorate the UE Boom 2.

As if all this wasn't enough incentive to want a new UE Boom 2, the second iteration of the popular gadget is being offered for exactly the same price as its predecessor.
Trend Themes
1. Increased Wireless Range - Expanding the wireless range of smartphone-connected speakers opens up opportunities for seamless audio experiences in larger areas and outdoor environments.
2. Enhanced Durability - Improving the durability of speakers makes them more resilient to water, dust, and other potential damages, providing new possibilities for outdoor and rugged environments.
3. Customizable Design - Introducing customizable patterns and graphics on speakers allows for personalized and unique aesthetics, catering to individual preferences and branding opportunities.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can leverage increased wireless range and enhanced durability to develop innovative audio products for a more immersive and versatile user experience.
2. Outdoor Recreation - The outdoor recreation industry can take advantage of the waterproof and dust-proof features of smartphone-connected speakers to provide durable and reliable audio solutions for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
3. Branding and Marketing - The branding and marketing industry can explore the customizable design options of speakers to create unique promotional products and immersive brand experiences through sound.
