Our Verdict
Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2
JBL Clip 4
The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2 is a better speaker than the JBL Clip 4. The Ultimate Ears has a better build quality, and due to its 360-degree design, it has a wider, more spacious-feeling soundstage, especially as it's in stereo. It also has a better-balanced sound profile, can get much louder, and has a longer-lasting continuous battery life. However, the JBL has lower latency on iOS and Android.
