UE BOOM 2 "Reka One - Lost Time" Edition Review

Introduction

UE's artists editions are solely a cosmetic exercise, but a quite thorough one at that. The Reka One Lost Time Limited Edition we will be taking a look at today has been styled by the famous Australian street artist Reka, as the name implies. Besides the looks, we get to play around with the multispeaker functionality available with the BOOM 2. Basically, you can pair two speakers and use them both in a multiroom and as a regular stereo setup.

Specifications

• IPX7 waterproof - immersion in 1 m for up to an hour
• Two 45 mm drivers
• Bluetooth connectivity (A2DP) with a range of up to 33 m
• Passive-enabled NFC
• 15 hours play time with a recharge time of 2.5 hours for a full charge
• 67 mm Ø x 180 mm H

The UE BOOM 2 is made for use on the go, and despite being dressed in fabric, retains an IP 7 rating, which is impressive. NFC on the device works like a charm, and during our last two rounds of testing UE BOOMs, we have found the battery time's state to be pretty accurate, which of course depends on the type of music and volume.
