I've been a fan of Ultimate Ears since I first got the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 back in 2018, and I'm still using it as my personal go-to portable speaker. The Wonderboom is their smaller, more portable version. The Wonderboom 4 just released this summer, but you can already get it for $59.99 (originally $99.99) after an impressive 40% discount. This is the lowest price it has reached according to price-tracking tools, and it's cheaper than the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3.

The Wonderboom 4 is a slight improvement on an already good portable rugged speaker from the Wonderboom 3. It is small enough to fit around most people's hand, and it is rated IP67 for water- and dust-proofing. The 14-hour battery life completes the trifecta of what you expect on a decent portable speaker. This new version comes with USB-C for faster charging, and a Podcast mode, which tweaks the EQ to suit spoken vocals. Unfortunately there is no full EQ customization or support with the Ultimate Ears app.

The sound is were most Ultimate Ears speakers shine, using their 360 degree sound which makes it great for group listening. Like the Podcast mode, there is also an Outdoor mode which makes the EQ sound better at higher volumes so you can listen to it outdoors in noisy environments.

As an outdoor speaker or for someone who likes to listen to podcasts or audiobooks at home without headphones, the Wonderboom 4 is great, especially at its current $59.99 price. There's not many outdoor speakers at this price tag that can compete with it, other than the JBL Clip 5 currently at the same price.
