- Which has better bass?
- The Everboom uses two full-range transducers with augmented magnets and two passive radiators, tuned for big bass. The SoundLink Plus has a 2.5-inch mid/bass woofer plus a rear-facing subwoofer and app EQ. The Bose lets you adjust bass; the Everboom's tuning is fixed.
- Which is better for the pool or beach?
- The Everboom floats, which matters if it goes in the water. The SoundLink Plus is IP67 dust- and waterproof but makes no float claim. Both survive splashes and rain.
- Is the SoundLink Plus worth the extra money?
- If you want to charge your phone from the speaker, adjust EQ, or pair two devices at once, yes. If you mainly want loud outdoor sound at the lowest price, the Everboom at $109.99 to $149.99 is the better value.
- Which has longer battery life?
- Both are rated at 20 hours. The SoundLink Plus takes about 5 hours to charge; Ultimate Ears does not state a charge time for the Everboom.
- Can I stereo pair them together?
- No. The Everboom pairs only with other Ultimate Ears speakers, and the SoundLink Plus Party Mode works with a second SoundLink Plus. You cannot link one brand to the other.
- Which is more portable?
- The SoundLink Plus weighs 3.373 lb and has a carrying loop. The Everboom is also portable and drop-tested from 1 m. Neither weight is listed for the Everboom here.
