The black metal D-ring located on one end of the speaker can be used for portability by attaching a carabiner to allow it to be hung from a backpack, etc., and the ring can also be unscrewed from the end which allows the threads to be used for mounting on a standard tripod. The Boom 2 is rated IPX7 which means that it is waterproof up to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes. The blue area that contains the volume controls is a dull blue and the grating of the speaker is a different shade of blue altogether it is a darker, deeper blue than the silicone area and even has a hint of violet in it under some lighting conditions. The “Brainfreeze” blue colored speaker that I received is a nice blue, although my photos do not capture the true colors.

I like the colors of the Boom 2 better than the original. It has a decent heft to it and looks and feels well made.

HOW TO SET UP UE BOOM 2 APP UPDATE
Some are more useful than others a previous firmware update added support for Siri / Google Now voice control from the speakers. So maybe this super pairing feature will get some use in spots, and it's nice that the company is still updating the original Boom with new capabilities. Coinciding with the announcement of PartyUp, Ultimate Ears will offer Party Packs that you can customize with your preferred mix of Boom 2 and Megaboom in sets of 2, 5, or 10 for a discounted rate compared to what you'd pay for all the speakers separately. That scene doesn't strike me as very realistic, even with the Boom being a very popular speaker. Instead, the company seems hopes PartyUp might prove convenient at parties or on the beach. Also, Ultimate Ears is quick to clarify that this is not any kind of whole-home audio solution or something that's meant to challenge Sonos. In PartyUp mode, all speakers play the same audio there's no option to set up multiple stereo pairs. There was the occasional dropout, but they get harder to notice when you've got so many speakers blaring music all at once. But the company did send over around 8 of them - a mix of regular Booms and Megabooms - and the feature seemed to work as advertised. I don't have 50 UE speakers handy to test out the extreme limits of PartyUp. Just drag a speaker up into the main area to add it to your "party" and drag it back down to remove it. Their icons match the exterior color of the speakers, which makes it easier to tell which device you're controlling. Now you just drag and drop nearby speakers the app detects them even when they're powered down using Bluetooth LE. Pairing just two speakers together has gotten much faster than before, according to the company. All speakers must be updated with the latest firmware that enables support for PartyUp. These can be a mix of the original UE Boom, UE Boom 2, and UE Megaboom the excellent UE Roll and Roll 2 are sadly excluded from the party. PartyUp allows you to corral dozens of nearby UE speakers (the company says "more than 50") and get all of them playing the same music in sync. An update to the UE Boom and UE Megaboom apps being rolled out today introduces a new feature called PartyUp. But now Ultimate Ears is going far beyond a two-speaker setup - if you've got enough speakers, that is. You can set them to play the same exact audio out of both speakers, or they can be configured as a stereo pair where one speaker is the left channel, the other right.

The UE Boom, our favorite portable Bluetooth speaker, already lets you "double up" two devices for better sound.
