If you're in the market for a new Bluetooth speaker, one of the only reasons we'd say to pass on this one is if you already own the Wonderboom 3 (it's incredibly similar) and want to pair up with another Wonderboom speaker to use stereo mode (none of the UE speakers are backwards compatible for stereo mode).

JBL is the current king of the Bluetooth speaker space, dominating the category from top to bottom with its well-made, brilliantly thought-out and superior-sounding speakers. I've heard them all and wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of the sensational JBL speakers below were it my money, and reputation, on the line.
