Notice the small dot above the micro-USB port? That is the charging LED. One of the notable design changes from the original Boom is the addition of the rubber flaps covering the micro-USB port and 3.5 mm aux audio-in port. The black metal D-ring located on one end of the speaker can be used for portability by attaching a carabiner to allow it to be hung from a backpack, etc., and the ring can also be unscrewed from the end which allows the threads to be used for mounting on a standard tripod. The Boom 2 is rated IPX7 which means that it is waterproof up to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes. The blue area that contains the volume controls is a dull blue and the grating of the speaker is a different shade of blue altogether it is a darker, deeper blue than the silicone area and even has a hint of violet in it under some lighting conditions. The “Brainfreeze” blue colored speaker that I received is a nice blue, although my photos do not capture the true colors. I like the colors of the Boom 2 better than the original. It has a decent heft to it and looks and feels well made.

Special features: Bluetooth speakers may offer extra features, including speakerphone capability, multi-speaker pairing (the ability to play the same material through two Bluetooth speakers at once), and built-in lighting.The sonic differences among these codecs are insignificant next to the easily heard differences among the speakers themselves. Bluetooth codecs: We don’t award extra points for inclusion of additional Bluetooth codecs beyond the standard SBC codec found in all Bluetooth devices.Playback controls: Because you can control the playback from your Bluetooth source device (usually a phone or tablet), we don’t require the speaker itself to have playback controls, but it’s a convenient perk.Less-expensive models often don’t sound better or play much louder than a phone’s built-in speakers. We prefer speakers with an Ingress Protection (IP) rating, which tells you exactly how dustproof and waterproof a speaker is.
