Our Verdict

Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2

Ultimate Ears BOOM 3

The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2 is a better speaker than the Ultimate Ears BOOM 3. The WONDERBOOM 2 is better-built, and it has a more neutral sound profile out-of-the-box. It also has an 'Outdoor Boost' EQ that cuts the bass in the audio and amplifies vocals in the mix for when you're outside. However, the BOOM 3 has a companion app that offers a full graphic EQ and presets for greater sound customization.
