The Juice Boom PRO is a portable wireless speaker with Bluetooth connectivity and an IPX5 water resistance rating, meaning it shouldn’t be bothered by the occasional splash of water. It is important to note that the UE BOOM was designed to be used with a 3-pole (non-microphone or inline remote cable) auxiliary connector. When you start eating into the battery life you will be able to see the amount of battery life left indicated by the number of LEDs on.

We rate sound quality using a professional panel of five expert listeners with a range of ages and musical tastes. I found it was nice to have in the garden as it offered that stereo sound you want when you have guests over. The fact it comes with IPX5 means it can even handle the odd pool splash if you’re using it by the outdoor pool we all got in that heatwave. Now that we are slowly moving out of lockdown and with summer fast approaching more of us will be meeting family and friends outside. Battery wise you get a 2200 mAh which offers 14 hours of battery life and Juice is true to their word when testing the speaker I gave it a full charge which took about 2.The Juiceboom Pro is a cylindrical, ruggedised design that has a fabric material that goes around the whole speaker. The 2x 5-watt speakers and cylindrical design allow for a 360 degree sound experience as you can use this speaker either vertical as the speaker is placed on one of the rubberised ends or you can have it horizontal but it does not affect the sound as you have a raised rubber base. I then got my iPhone to 'forget' the UE Boom and it then found the speaker and paired perfectly well after that.

So why not have a portable speaker to play them summer party tracks or just chill out in the garden with some Ibiza chill-out music while drinking a lovely glass of wine.Also at each end, you can see a 5watt speaker in the middle of that rubber end but sink back to protect the speakers. I also listen to a regular podcast on the speaker and it worked very well there no dropouts and the vocals come across nice and clear and at times I thought I had a more expensive speaker. If you have two devices paired to the speaker and attempt to launch the application on your Android phone, it may crash. Size-wise it comes in at 180 x 60 x50 mm and weights at 362 grams making this a lightweight speaker that will fit easily into that beach bag when heading on your staycation this year.
