Logitech’s new waterproof UE Boom 2 in stores now

Logitech's upgraded UE Boom 2 Bluetooth speaker will be available in Australian stores this month with a retail price of AUD$249.

The new speaker is said to be 25% louder, have a longer wireless range of up to 30.5 metres, and is now completely waterproof with an IPX7 rating. This allows for full immersion in water as deep as one metre for up to 30 minutes. Logitech also says the UE Boom 2 is shock- and stain-resistant. The speaker is said to have a 15 hour battery.

The UE Boom 2 can be paired with other Logitech Ultimate Ear speakers, or a second UE Boom 2 for a stereo setup.

While Logitech didn't provide an exact release day, the UE Boom 2 should be in stores including Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi now, or very shortly. It will be available in six colours: Cherrybomb, Yeti, Phantom, GreenMachine, Tropical and BrainFreeze.
