The Bushnell Wingman View is a golf cart speaker that's a little larger than the Bushnell Wingman. Compared to the Wingman, this model has a monochrome LCD that lets you keep track of the song you're listening to or the distance to the next hole out on the course. It's small and portable enough to bring wherever you go, and it magnetically attaches to your golf cart. The included remote makes it easy to switch up its settings, too.
Our Verdict
The Bushnell Wingman View is acceptable for music. Like most small and portable speakers, it can't bring the deep thump and rumble in the low-bass that's typical of genres like EDM and hip-hop. Still, the rest of the range is quite even and balanced, so voices and lead instruments are clear and accurate in the mix. You're rather limited when it comes to sound customization tools, though. Indoor and Outdoor Modes help switch up the sound based on whether you're out on the course or listening at home.
- Indoor and Outdoor EQ presets.
- Little compression at max volume.
- Lacks low-bass.
- Not loud enough for larger rooms.
The Bushnell Wingman View isn't meant for watching movies. However, you can use it to enjoy a video from a paired smartphone. Dialogue reproduces with clarity, and latency with iOS and Android devices is low enough that you don't have to worry about lip-synching issues. Of course, you don't get the deep thump and rumble in the bass as with dedicated home theater speakers.
- Low latency with iOS and Android devices.
- Lacks low-bass.
- Not loud enough for larger rooms.
The Bushnell Wingman View is decent for podcasts. Its balanced mids ensure that voices reproduce with clarity, so it's easy to follow along with the conversation in your favorite shows. It's portable enough to bring with you from room to room during longer episodes, too. It's not quite loud enough to fill a larger room with sound, but you may not mind, especially since it helps avoid disrupting other golfers out on the course.
- Portable design.
- Not loud enough for larger rooms.
This speaker doesn't support voice assistants.
The Bushnell Wingman View is decent for outdoor use. This golf cart speaker has a solid and sturdy build designed to withstand the elements, with an IPX6 waterproof rating in case you run into rain.

Plus, its companion app offers many golf-centric features, so you can keep track of the distances to the next hole out on the course. You can even switch to its Outdoor Mode when you're listening outside.

Popular Speaker Comparisons
The Bushnell Wingman View GPS Speaker is the manufacturer's more premium golf cart speaker. It's larger than both the Bushnell Wingman and the Bushnell Wingman Mini. While it offers the same selection of golf-centric features in its companion app, it adds some extra features like Indoor and Outdoor preset modes, an LCD, and a remote. That said, if you're just looking for a speaker for listening to music, there are similarly-priced options with better sound, like the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3 or the JBL Xtreme 2.

The Blue Tees Golf Player+ and the Bushnell Wingman View are both golf speakers that feature screens, but they have different strengths. While the Bushnell has a small LCD screen that shows front, center, and back distances from the green as well as info about any music playing, the Blue Tees has a larger, full-color touchscreen, which offers greater functionality and makes the speaker's controls easier to navigate. That said, the Bushnell has a better soundstage, so your audio sounds more consistent from any angle, and its battery lasts longer on a single charge.
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 View is a more feature-packed golf cart speaker than the Blue Tees Golf The Player. Since it comes with a companion app, the Bushnell lets you access golf-specific features, like the ability to track your stats and keep track of distances out on the course. The Bushnell is made of better-quality materials, too, and it brings a touch more bass to the mix. However, the Blue Tees speaker is a fine choice if you don't need those features and just want to listen to music on the course.
The JBL Xtreme 2 is a better choice for music when compared with the Bushnell Wingman View. The JBL can bring more bass, and it has a more even sound out-of-the-box, which some users may prefer. It supports voice assistants, too, unlike the Bushnell. However, it doesn't have golf-centric features like the Bushnell, which some may prefer.
