The worst was the Pioneer XW-SMA4-K bluetooth speaker they recommended. Obsolete just a couple of months after I bought it, and performance was just ok. Had to hook it up to a timer to reset it at least once a week or else it'd stop showing up on Airplay.
There was something else I bought (can't recall which) that I was disappointed with, so when I was looking at treadmills and security cameras, I looked at their reviews more carefully. Trying to corroborate their positive reviews elsewhere turned me off their conclusions.
- babaganoosh89 9y agoAgreed, their bluetooth speaker reviews were lackluster. Ended up getting a UE Boom 2 after researching it myself and have been very happy. But for their other guides like travel gear, bluetooth headphones, monitors I've generally been happy with their picks. I usually pick the upgrade option when possible.
- ZeroGravitas 9y agoI was just about to look up wirecutter review for Bluetooth speakers, I don't suppose you found a reliable opinion on the stubbier UE WonderBoom?
- babaganoosh89 9y agoIn my case I found a very detailed review on Amazon that compared it to a few competitors. I suspect UE makes good speakers overall though. For the UE Boom 2, it's sound quality was significantly better than the Anker speaker I tried and supposedly only 2nd to the Bose Soundlink Mini which is 2x the price and not waterproof.
- acranox 9y agoI have two of those speakers, and I’m actually quite happy with them.
