Our Verdict

Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2

Bushnell Wingman

The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2 is a better speaker than the Bushnell Wingman. The Ultimate Ears offers a better-balanced sound profile out of the box, that can produce a much more extended low-bass. Thanks to its 360-degree design, it has better directivity, resulting in a wider-sounding soundstage. It's also better-built with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it's dust-tight and immersible in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes. It even floats in water. That said, if you're an avid golfer, you may prefer the Bushnell's golf-oriented features like its built-in GPS and its companion app that saves your scores and calculates yardages.
