The UE Wonderboom has long been one of our editors’ favorite portable speakers, and the model’s fourth iteration is more of the same. The speaker boasts a Goldilocks combo of sound, size, durability, and ease of use, making it the ideal choice for anything from chilling to some soft jazz during dinner, amping up the sound for weekend parties, or tuning into your favorite podcast while you clean up after said party.

Our editors appreciate the powerful sound that stays crisp even at high volume, and the ability to toss it around without repercussions is something our testers were big fans of when it comes to portability. Thanks to 14 hours of battery life, you rarely need to charge it in full, and when you find yourself wandering off with your phone in tow, you can stay connected with a Bluetooth range of up to 131 feet.

The balanced, 360-degree sound makes it an ideal centerpiece for any occasion. All in all, this is the one to buy, especially at its easy-to-stomach price point.
