Our Verdict

Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM

Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 4

The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 4 is a more compact speaker than the Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM, but there aren't many trade-offs that come with its more diminutive size. Both speakers are similarly well-built, have similar controls, and boast excellent directivity. While the EVERBOOM has slightly more bass on tap, the WONDERBOOM 4 has a more balanced treble range. The WONDERBOOM 4 also comes with Bluetooth multi-device pairing and compresses less at max volume. That said, users who like to customize their sound will prefer the graphic EQ and presets that come with the EVERBOOM's companion app.
