Ultimate Ears Everboom review: the right size

How many booms are too many? We’ve reached that point.

I don’t think the Everboom’s sound performance lifts it very far above established (and more affordable) competition like the JBL Charge 5, Bose SoundLink Flex, or even the recently released Beats Pill. Listening to Zach Bryan’s new album, the Everboom did a good job separating John Mayer’s guitar licks on “Better Days” from the bulk of the mix. (And now, mercifully, the whole lineup has finally switched to USB-C.) The Everboom has IP67 dust and water resistance, and it’ll float if you drop it into a pool — and keep the music going afterward.
