The Bushnell Wingman 2 is a portable Bluetooth speaker designed for golfers. It works with the Bushnell Golf app to provide access to GPS maps for over 38,000 courses worldwide, offering audible front, center, and back distances from the green. It also includes scorekeeping and a range of stats to help golfers play their best on any course, like shot tracking with adjustable layup targets and animated hole views. The speaker comes with a strong magnet, which you can use to attach it right to the frame of a golf cart, and a small detachable remote that mirrors the speaker's functions.
Our Verdict
The Bushnell Wingman 2 is passable for music. Using its default Indoor EQ preset, its sound is very light on thump and rumble, which is especially noticeable in bass-heavy genres. That said, vocal-centric content is fairly balanced and well-defined, though also thin and lacking sparkle. Its only other EQ preset, Outdoor, boosts the mids and treble, which can help ensure clearer audio on the fairway but costs you in the bass. Unfortunately, the speaker doesn't get very loud—you may prefer this to avoid bothering other golfers on the course. Luckily, its nearly 360-degree stereo design ensures clear sound from most angles.
Impressive soundstage.
No graphic EQ.
The Bushnell Wingman 2 is mediocre for watching videos or movies, although it's not really made for this purpose. Its lack of low bass means you won't feel the thump and rumble of action scenes, and it doesn't get very loud. It has very little compression at max volume and a relatively balanced mid-range, so dialogue will come through clearly, no matter the volume level. Its nearly 360-degree design also means that audio is reproduced consistently from almost any angle. It also has low latency with Android devices; however, its negative latency with iOS devices means you might hear the audio before the video. However, various apps and devices compensate differently for latency, so your experience could vary.
Impressive soundstage.
Low Android latency.
Lacks low bass.
No graphic EQ.
The Bushnell Wingman 2 is decent for podcasts. The speaker gets loud enough to fill an average-sized room with sound but struggles to fill larger, more open spaces. Since it's very portable, you can easily bring it from the cart to the clubhouse when finishing a longer episode. Thanks to its nearly 360-degree design, audio sounds consistent from most angles, and its fairly balanced mid-range means that voices are reproduced clearly. Sadly, it doesn't have a graphic EQ to adjust its sound.
Impressive soundstage.
No graphic EQ.
The Bushnell Wingman 2 has a microphone for calls but doesn't support voice assistants.
The Bushnell Wingman 2 is satisfactory for outdoor use. It's exceptionally portable and has an IPX6 rating for water resistance, so you needn't worry if the weather shifts suddenly. It also has a fantastic Bluetooth range, which is handy for putting or while you're searching for a lost ball. This speaker also has a great soundstage, so audio is reproduced consistently from most angles. Unfortunately, lasting less than eight hours, the battery life is just alright. This speaker also can't get very loud or produce much low bass, so it'll struggle to fill open outdoor spaces with sound and compete with ambient noise.

Fantastic Bluetooth range.
Lacks low bass.
Doesn't get very loud.

Popular Speaker Comparisons
The Bushnell Wingman 2 is a portable Bluetooth speaker made with golfers in mind. Like its predecessor, the Bushnell Wingman, this speaker offers an array of golf-centric features like GPS distances, a strong magnet meant to attach to a golf cart, and a detachable remote. This iteration adds some upgrades to the original, like custom audio sound bites and first tee introductions, a battery indicator, and a USB-C charging port. The Bushnell Wingman View has a similarly robust build to the other Wingman series speakers, but unlike the Wingman 2, it comes with the addition of an LCD screen that displays info about your golf game and music selections. If you're looking for something smaller, the Bushnell Wingman Mini is a compact speaker with a carabiner, so you can attach it to your golf bag while you play.

The Bushnell Wingman 2 and Bushnell Wingman View are similar. Both speakers are purpose-built with golfers in mind and come with various features to track golf stats, scores, and courses. While the 2 can give you audible front, center, and back distances, the View has an LCD screen displaying this content and information about your music. While both speakers can play audio content in stereo, the 2 has better directivity, so your audio sounds consistent from nearly any angle. It can also reproduce more extended low bass, giving genres like EDM and hip-hop more impact. The View, however, can get louder with less compression and boasts a better battery life.
The Bushnell Wingman 2 is a better speaker overall than the Bushnell Wingman. The 2 is the updated version of the original and has some improvements. While the overall build, including its controls, is similar, the 2 comes with a USB-C connection for charging, has two preset EQ modes (indoor and outdoor), and can create a stereo pair with another Wingman series speaker. It also has a more balanced sound overall and does a better job with low bass, so you get more rumble and boom in genres like EDM and hip-hop. On the other hand, the original Wingman gets louder with less compression at max volume and has a longer battery life.
The Bushnell Wingman HD and Bushnell Wingman 2 are similar golf speakers. They both offer magnetic cart mounting and come with Bushnell's golf-focused app to help you enjoy your game. That said, the HD is the more feature-rich model, since it offers a built-in touchscreen, has an IP67 rating that means it'll withstand a drop in a lake (it'll even float), and its audio sounds more or less the same regardless of your listening angle. On the other hand, the Bushnell Wingman 2 is smaller and lighter, comes with a detachable remote instead of relying on a touchscreen, and lasts a little longer on a single charge, so some golfers may find it to be the more practical choice.
The Bushnell Wingman 2 and Blue Tees Golf The Player are portable Bluetooth golf speakers with different strengths. The Bushnell has a more balanced sound overall and a better bass and treble extension, so you get more thump and rumble on the low end and brightness on the high end. The Blue Tees, however, can get louder with less compression. It also has a much better battery life, but unlike the Bushnell, it doesn't have a companion app.
