Before we dive into the test itself, we must have looked at the specifications that I found on the Ultimate Ears website.
Specifications of Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM
About Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM
Ultimate Ears Everboom stands out with its 360-degree sound technology, which ensures rich and balanced sound in all directions. With its powerful 40 watts, the speaker delivers impressive loudness and clarity. Everboom is built to withstand the elements with a rugged, water- and shock-resistant design, making it ideal for both outdoor adventures and home use. With up to 20 hours of battery life, it can deliver music all day without interruption, and its Bluetooth functionality ensures easy pairing and wireless playback from any device.
When you open the Ultimate Ears Everboom box, you'll find the Everboom speaker itself, ready to go. Also included is a USB-C charging cable for quick and easy charging, as well as a user guide to help you get started quickly.
Ultimate Ears Everboom is designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. The speaker has a slim, cylindrical design that not only looks modern and stylish, but also contributes to its 360-degree sound dispersion. The surface is covered with a durable, fabric-like material that is both water and dust resistant, making it robust enough for outdoor use. The integrated buttons on the front of the speaker provide easy control of volume, while the minimalist design fits perfectly into any decor.
The top of the Ultimate Ears Everboom is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. It is equipped with large, tactile buttons that make it easy to change tracks and turn the speaker on or off, as well as activate outdoor mode. The buttons are integrated into the surface, giving a clean and streamlined look. The rubberized finish on the top ensures a good grip even when the speaker is wet, emphasizing its robust and outdoor-friendly design.
The back of the Ultimate Ears Everboom is just as well thought out as the rest of the design. Here you will find a discreetly placed USB-C input that is protected by a small rubber flap that prevents water and dust from entering when it is not in use. This input is used for quick charging of the speaker, and the location on the back ensures that cables are kept out of the way and do not interfere with the streamlined appearance.
The test – The sound, use and comfort
We have of course reached the test part itself. It's been summer, and it's still a bit longer. Therefore, the speaker has of course been used when we have been outside at home. Of course, it has also been thrown through some scenarios where it had to play a little louder than just some background music.
The sound in the speaker is incredibly full, and with the app it is possible to activate a booster if it is used outside. It can easily play up the garden, despite its size, but is of course also a bit limited by the exact size if you expect the same quality as a sound box. During the test, and with the different music genres, it managed to have a detailed sound image and get all the details.
It's a speaker that is obvious to take with you on a walk in the forest, in the park when you're sitting enjoying the sun and want some music around you, or if you're running around the garden and want to have a speaker with you without having to fill an entire backpack in itself.

Conclusion
Ultimate Ears Everboom is a portable speaker that impresses with its rich sound and versatility. During testing, the speaker proved to be an excellent companion for outdoor activities, where its 360-degree sound and robust design really came into its own. The sound is detailed and powerful, especially when you activate the built-in booster in the app, which makes it capable of filling an entire garden with music, although its size puts some limitations compared to larger speakers like a Soundbox.
Everboom is easy to take on the go, whether it's for a walk in the woods, a day in the park, or when you want to take some music with you around the garden. Advantages such as stylish design, Bluetooth connection, USB-C charging and long battery life make it a solid investment. The waterproof and dustproof IP67 rating and the ability to connect multiple BOOM units add extra value.
On the other hand, the price may be a deterrent for some, and the lack of an AUX input may limit the possibilities of use. The size, while compact for a speaker of this caliber, can still be a drawback for those looking for an ultraportable solution. All in all, Ultimate Ears Everboom is a strong choice for those who want a portable speaker with solid performance and practical features, but are also willing to pay for quality.
I end the test by giving the EVERBOOM from Ultimate Ears a score of 8 out of 10. Where it is undoubtedly the advantages that pull it up a lot, and it is also on the verge of a 9. Where the disadvantages come in, especially the price, which is on the somewhat high end. Next to that, we also have the size, which means that despite having to be compact, it still takes up a bit of space for a hike. If you can ignore these things in particular, you are guaranteed a good speaker, with full sound and a robust design.
