Marshall Kilburn II vs Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2

Marhsall offers no shortage of Bluetooth speakers, and at $299.99, the Kilburn II fits somewhere in between the Stockwell II and the Tufton in terms of both price and size. Even for a mid-size model, the Kilburn II is portable in the sense that you can carry it by its strap, but it's too heavy and bulky to, say, throw in a backpack. The good news is that it can deliver some serious power for its size, and adjustable bass and treble knobs allow you to alter its sound signature to suit your tastes

I Just reviewed since they're recently released products. this was a perfect time to future-proof these things. We don't get that chance. Not a deal-b...

But I can't help but feel that its instrument separation and sound stage could be better. Bass is not a problem on the Kilburn 2, but everything just ...

Every early review I could find stated that the 3 had better bass and overall sound than the 2. If that is the case then the 2 must be a really bad speaker. Sure this speaker sounds pretty good but for anyone saying this has bass I'm struggling to hear where that bass is.

It does a nice job but I think it must suit your own taste. For my taste it's a little bit too colored and too artificial sounding. But I like the des...

It’s a nice speaker by UE BUT not much difference in sound from the 2 it needs usb-c and better drivers to deliver better bass it’s a great design very durable it gets loud but room for improvement

0 connection. This means you can connect two phones at the same time and you can swap easily between the two phones. Or in my case, it usually ends in...

Got this for my husband for Christmas. We love it!!! Easily hooks up to your phone, sounds way better than my TV. (What we previously played Spotify on) It’s small so seems easy transport, holds a long charge. Happy with the purchase!

Also everytime you connect or plug it in, it makes this stupid sound and it literally like skips the song, like it’ll play the sound and then like 5 seconds of the song was silenced. It never reconnected to my phone I always had to turn it off and turn it back on to get it to be on cause jt like shuts off after like 5 minutes of you being away from it. Kilburn 1 is a better option by far. Not worth my $271!

Other great things about this is that it charges super quick, the battery lasts a long time, and it’s super simple to pair to your phone. Overall, if you’re looking for a great quality Bluetooth speaker, you should definitely get this.

Marshall could have added a cord keeper and/or made the pricing more competitive, but this is a solid purchase and I have zero regrets. I'd happily do it again.

I like the sound of many of the UE products. I use the Wonderboom 2 often. It has a nice midrange sound, and it sounds really good in the midrange and treble area. I listen to good bit of jazz, classic rock

To be specific, the volume on the streaming device is maxed and the main volume on the speaker is set to 2, maybe 2.2 if you could tell, the bass and treble are both set to 5. This puts the battery life at 10 hours at a very very low volume. Maybe it’s just mine?

It's a great LOUD sounding speaker and when you hear BLACK LABEL SOCIETY really loud, you already know who it is,my man Jimmy

I've canvassed around for a larger speaker and looked at Bose/Klipsch/HK variants before deciding on this unit (thanks to feedback from Amazon buyers). The only experience I had with bt speakers was a Jambox and although it's not a fair comparison, I just didn't have high expectations from a wireless speaker. I played a song using Spotify on high quality and was impressed by the sound. I like the treble/bass adjustments (some of the aforementioned brands don't even offer this)

The option on the bottom of the speaker allows you to take a significant amount of bass out of the music and elevate the treble for large parks and days at the beach or simply filling open spaces with you play frisbee with your dog and friends. I haven't needed to use this feature often as the speaker gets so loud. I have taken this speaker to work functions in the park, out hiking with friends, walks around the park, family/friend gatherings and I have not lost my love for it yet. Seriously one of the best audio purchases I have made in years
