What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a rugged, portable speaker with even 360-degree sound that suits outdoor use, but little changed from the Boom 3 apart from USB-C charging. Trusted Reviews found the sound pleasing with good weight on vocals and percussion; RTINGS notes similarly priced rivals such as the JBL Flip 6 deliver more bass.
