I found the Boom 2's speakerphone to work well on calls, and it certainly got louder than the iPhone's speakerphone. The saxophones on Charles Mingus' jazz classic "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" resonated richly, and Lindsey Buckingham’s acoustic guitar on Fleetwood Mac's "Never Going Back Again" sounded full, though again it lacked the crisp treble tones that the Fugoo produced. On The Weeknd's "The Hills," the Boom 2 produced enough thump to drive the tune, but Fugoo's Style delivered more detail in both the treble and bass. The vocals on Florence + the Machine's "What Kind of Man" were clear and full. The Boom 2 delivers good overall sound, especially on vocals, though it lacks detail in the bass and treble that some other speakers in this price range produce. The original Boom maxed out at 88 decibels the added power of the Boom 2 is hard to notice, but it produces enough volume to fill a living room. I measured it at more than 90 decibels, though it distorted noticeably above about 85 decibels. UE increased the power of the Boom 2 so it can get louder. The app also can turn the speaker into an alarm clock that wakes you up to a tune of your choice, and you can get firmware upgrades that add features over time. Through the app, you can connect it to another Boom device (including the original Boom) to mirror the sound, which helps create a much more encompassing soundscape. I used The Standard for my testing, finding Bass Jump too weak in the vocal range. You can tweak the sound to your liking through the EQ choose from presets such as Bass Jump or Voices (which boosts the midrange), or use the five-band equalizer to create a custom setting.

UE's free app for iOS and Android brings additional features to the speaker. I found the signal to be very strong even at the max distance. The speaker has a wireless range of 100 feet, up from the standard 30 feet on the Boom. The Boom 2 paired quickly with Android and iOS devices. It also survived a drop onto hardwood floor from about 5 feet without any effect or blemish. As soon as I removed it from the water, the sound resumed.

In my testing, the speaker worked fine after being in a sink full of water for five minutes, though once submerged, it lost the signal from my phone. The new Boom ups the toughness, able to now withstand being submerged in water for 30 minutes or dropped from up to 5 feet without harm.
