summer 17 is practically here well at least here in New York because it's a hundred degrees right now and that means vacation and cookouts and you're gonna need some music I've recently reviewed the JBL 54 and the ue one the boom and I think it's time to put them up against one another so which recently released hundred dollars speaker should you pick up let's find out the UE when the boom curly comes in six colorways n retails for $99.99 over at Amazon if you're looking for a small wireless speaker with Styles then the one the boom might be for you the JBL for the four on the other hand comes in seven colorways and retails for ninety nine ninety five over at Amazon as well but knowing Amazon will randomly put either one of these speakers on sale from time to time if you want to pick either one of these up I'll have links in the description below and I'll keep them updated as best I can so you can get the best view okay so let's get the obvious stuff out of the way both of these products are Bluetooth wireless speakers that towards you your micro USB cable they're both fairly rugged any both have plastic and weaved exteriors and they're both fairly compact and are meant to go with you almost anywhere and they both have built-in buttons so you can control your music playback and they're both ipx7 and waterproof and that's really well the similarities end for starters the JBL flip for in the UE one boom have very different battery life the JBL flip 4 has a 14 hour battery life and has no problem lasting a little longer depending on how you're playing your music the UA one the boom on the other hand has a max battery life of 10 hours and if you play your music at a higher volume then your battery life will suffer when I play my music and max volume my wonderful only lasted 3 hours which could be a problem for some so battery life goes to the JBL flip for both of these speakers also have the ability to pair up with other speakers so they can play music simultaneously but the way they do it is very different the JBL flip 4 features JBL connect plus another allows you to pair up to 100 JBL connect plus enabled devices and if you have two JBL flip fours you can pair them up together and have them play music in a stereo mode the ua when the boom is a little more limited only allowing you to pair a maxim to wonderbook together and when those two when the booms are paired they only play music simultaneously and don't create that stereo connectivity points also goes to the JBL flip for christening sound quality I prefer the JBL flip for over the Ewing wonderful in general the JBL flip force sounds better has a wider soundstage and has a cleaner resolution than do you weigh wonderbook whereas the ue wonder boom tends to sound rather shallow compared to the JBL flip 4 and the mids and highs tend to crash a little harsher at higher volume but the ua wonder boom does shoot sound in all 360 degrees while the JBL foot 4 only shoots music out through the front of the device don't get me wrong neither one of these devices sound incredible at higher volume and they shouldn't because they are small speakers but the JBL flip for is superior over the ewing wonderbook the j beautiful 4 also has an auxiliary jack while the one of them doesn't so you can enjoy the benefits of better sound quality through a wired connection or say some battery on your phone if you want to use glue to JBL it takes of sound quality points to while I commented earlier both of these speakers are ipx7 rated which means there are waterproof both of these speakers have no problem being swimmers in water but one big difference between the two is that the one that boom flows so for some reason either one of these speakers were to fall into a pool or lake the one the boom would be easier to save the flip floor would just sink to the bottom and if the first four sinks to the bottom of the lake then you could just say goodbye also in general the UE one boom is a lot more rugged than the JBL flip 4 and since there are no moving parts you don't have to worry about the one two boom getting damaged if it's packed in a cramped bag or something so the ue wonder boom gets a tough mudder wood here ok and here are a few arbitrary things I want to point out before I wrap things up although both of these speakers are using bluetooth for that too and can be up to two devices at the same time the UE wonder boom does have a slightly longer range than the JBL flip for the debut flip floor also has a built in microphone so you can take phone calls and talk to Siri and the blinds on the GBO before also have a better tactile feedback than the UE wonderful also the jbo v 4 also has a built in battery gauge that allows you to see your estimated battery on the table for four unlike the UE wonderful which plays a tone when you press the plus and minus one at the same time so if you're looking for a small Bluetooth speaker that sounds good has a long battery life and you're going to take it with you from time to time and you have 100 I'll suspend then I say get the JBL flip for if you need something more rugged and durable then go with the wonderful like I said on my miserable view the Wonder boom is a great second speaker if you already have a decent speaker at home the Wonder boom is a good speaker to have dedicated for camping trips pool parties or cookout what I wouldn't get the one boom if this is going to be my one and only speaker check out my full JBL flip four and you lean wonderful videos for more in-depth reviews oh yeah
