UE claims it “can be immersed in water up to 1m for up to 30 minutes.” I was not about to try this, but I do regularly–with no worries–have the speaker playing on the window sill just above the kitchen sink, while I do dishes. The UE Boom 2 is waterproof (not just water-resistant).

Once you do charge it, it’s back to full power in just a couple hours. This doesn’t, from what I could tell, affect the sound, however. The cord protrudes such that you have to flip the speaker upside-down to keep it upright when it’s charging. It seems also to be a design flaw that the charger port is on the bottom of the speaker. I found this counter-intuitive and frustrating–in other words, if you use the battery long enough, you won’t be able to listen and charge at the same time, at least not right away. One down side is that the speaker won’t play when the battery is depleted, even when it’s plugged in and first charging. The battery lasts for ages (officially rated at 15 hours), and the speaker turns itself off after a period of inactivity–which you know because a cool, little drum riff sound indicates that the speaker is powering down. Podcasts and NPR both sound great on the Boom. I didn’t measure decibels, but it can fill a whole floor of a house with music, despite its being barely taller than seven inches. At a price point of just under $200, you’d expect decent sound, and this speaker does not disappoint in that regard. The Boom 2 has great sound, even with flat EQ. (Pressing both speaker buttons at the same time will have the speaker tell you what percentage of battery life remains.) Besides that, you can control the sound just from the volume buttons on the side of your connected device.

Those volume buttons are HUGE, especially compared to the smaller power on/off and Bluetooth buttons. The UE Boom 2 comes in a box that looks like one of those little bank deposit tubes from days gone by: The speaker is meant to be used standing up, but you can also lay it on its side without it rolling away: The cylindrical shape and design are very cool:

Regardless, the new AirPods Pro feature several new features, including improved audio, longer battery life, and a redesigned charging case.Ultimate Ears (owned by Logitech) makes a great-sounding, sleek-lookin’ Bluetooth speaker: the UE Boom 2, now in its second generation. As of now, though, there is no indication that Apple has adopted it yet. The new AirPods Pro do support Bluetooth 5.3, and while that standard does not directly support lossless audio, chip companies like Qualcomm have been moving in that direction. We've asked Apple for more information on lossless support for the new AirPods Pro. Apple has made no mention of the new AirPods Pro supporting lossless audio anywhere on its website or during its "Far out" event earlier today. That, however, does not seem to be the case. One rumored new capability of the new chip which powers the audio behind AirPods Pro was that it would support lossless Apple Music over a new Bluetooth standard.
The H2 chip is the successor to the previous H1 chip and delivers new features like improved noise cancellation, a new transparency mode, and better sound. Priced at $249, the new AirPods Pro will be available to order starting September 9 and launch September 23.Īrticle Link: New AirPods Pro Do Not Support Lossless Apple Music Regardless, the new AirPods Pro feature several new features, including improved audio, longer battery life, and a redesigned charging case.

We've asked Apple for more information regarding lossless audio support for the new AirPods Pro and will update this story if we hear back. One rumored new capability of the new chip was that it would support lossless Apple Music, but Apple's press release and tech specs page for the new AirPods Pro do not mention any lossless audio support, which seemingly rules out the capability. The H2 chip is the successor to the previous H1 chip and delivers new features like improved Active Noise Cancellation, an improved Transparency mode, and better sound overall.
