Our Verdict

Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4

Bushnell Wingman 2

The Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4 is a better speaker for most use cases than the Bushnell Wingman 2 but has no golf-specific features. The Ultimate Ears is better built than the Bushnell, with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance and, according to the manufacturer, some resistance to bumps and falls. It also has a better soundstage, more sound customization options, and more low bass extension, so you get more boom and thump in genres like EDM and hip-hop. It also lasts longer on a single charge. Conversely, the Bushnell has better controls and comes with a detachable remote. It also gets louder with less compression at max volume.
