Just in time for the holidays
The BOOM 2 is waterproof, dust-proof, and shockproof. So you can take it just about anywhere.
The Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 has been a big hit with customers (it's one of our best-selling speakers). That's why we're excited to offer the Phantom Limited Edition. The rugged acoustic skin with plasma coating has a distinctive look. It keeps this portable Bluetooth speaker waterproof, dust-proof, and shockproof.
High-energy sound
Two 1-5/8" full-range drivers give you full-bodied sound, with two 2" passive radiators to kick out the bass. And the system delivers a full 360° soundfield. So no matter where you stand, your music will sound good.
App control
The free Ultimate Ears BOOM app lets you stream simultaneously to multiple Ultimate Ears speakers. Mix and match BOOM 2s, WONDERBOOMs MEGABOOM 3s, and so on. It's all good. Good and loud.
The app also lets you pair two BOOM 2 speakers for two-channel stereo. It also lets you adjust your speaker's EQ settings, and even use the BOOM 2 as your wake-up alarm. You can download the free app at the Apple® iTunes® Store or Google Play.
Tap to play
When your smartphone or tablet isn't close by, you can use the super simple control buttons on the BOOM 2. Those big plus and minus signs on the side aren't just decorative — they're the volume controllers. Tap the top of the BOOM 2 to play, tap twice to skip the song. It's that easy.

I've never owned one of these portable Bluetooth speakers before. I was really surprised at the great sound. You can tell it's built very well and like I said you will be surprised at the sound that comes out of these babies. Buy with confidence
