Ultimate Ears Everboom

Manufacturer: Ultimate Ears

The Ultimate Ears Everboom is a portable speaker built for use in a wide range of environments. Sized at 205 × 110 × 85 mm, it strikes a balance between portability and presence, and its IP67 ingress protection rating means it is fully dustproof and can withstand submersion in water. The unit connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and supports smartphone remote control, making day-to-day operation straightforward.

On the technical side, the Everboom delivers audio through a passive radiator configuration and reaches a sound pressure level of 85 dB/mW. Its rechargeable battery is rated for 20 hours of playback, with a built-in battery level indicator to track remaining charge. Connectivity is handled through a USB Type-C port, and the speaker supports stereo pairing with a compatible second unit. Additional onboard features include voice prompts and a sleep timer, while the Bluetooth connection extends up to 55 meters.

Pros
  • IP67 rating provides full dust protection and resistance to water submersion, making it suitable for outdoor and wet environments
  • Battery life of 20 hours allows for extended use between charges
  • Bluetooth range extends up to 55 meters, giving considerable freedom of movement from the source device
  • Supports stereo pairing with a compatible second unit for a wider soundstage
  • Passive radiator design enhances low-frequency output without a dedicated subwoofer
  • USB Type-C port offers a modern and widely compatible charging connection
Cons
  • No advanced Bluetooth audio codecs supported, including aptX, LDAC, and AAC, which limits wireless audio quality options
  • Wireless charging is not available, requiring a wired connection for every charge
  • No AUX input or 3.5 mm audio jack, removing any option for wired audio playback
  • Lacks a mute function, which can be inconvenient during calls or when quick silencing is needed
  • Does not work as a power bank, so it cannot charge other devices on the go
  • No fast pairing support, which can slow down the initial Bluetooth connection process
Who is this for?

The Everboom is well-suited to users who spend significant time outdoors or in environments where exposure to dust and water is likely, thanks to its IP67 protection rating. Its 20-hour battery life makes it a practical choice for full-day outings, camping trips, or travel where access to power may be limited. Users who want to expand their listening setup can also benefit from the stereo pairing capability, and the 55-meter Bluetooth range suits those who prefer to keep their source device at a distance.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize high-fidelity wireless audio will find the Everboom limiting, as it supports none of the advanced Bluetooth codecs such as aptX, LDAC, or AAC, which are typically expected by discerning listeners. It is also a poor fit for those who rely on wired audio connections, since there is no 3.5 mm jack or AUX input available. Additionally, users looking for a speaker that can double as an external battery for other devices will need to look elsewhere, as the unit does not function as a power bank.
