The Wonderboom 4 price drop currently live on Amazon brings Ultimate Ears’ compact 360-degree speaker down to $59.99, reduced from $99.99, a saving of $40 and, according to price trackers, its lowest price yet. All five colour options (sand, black, blue, pink, and grey) carry the same discount, so there’s no penalty for having a preference.
It’s the kind of deal that works out well for anyone who’s been holding off. The Wonderboom 4 is a small, rounded speaker built for portability, and the rounded shape is functional rather than decorative: it spreads audio across 360 degrees, which means you can plonk it in the middle of a table and not worry about which end is facing who.
What the Wonderboom 4 Wonderboom 4 Price Drop Gets You
The speaker carries an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and it floats. According to Best Buy, that IP67 rating means the Wonderboom 4 can be submerged in one metre of water for up to 30 minutes. For practical purposes: pool, beach, a particularly enthusiastic barbecue involving a paddling pool. It covers the scenarios most people actually encounter.
Battery life is rated at up to 14 hours by the manufacturer, which is enough for a full day out in most cases, though actual runtime will vary with volume and how you use it. On the connectivity side, Amazon lists the Bluetooth range at 40 metres, which gives you a fair amount of freedom to wander without the audio cutting out.
Worth knowing for the backpack brigade: Dell USA notes that the speaker comes with a Bungee included in the box. It’s a small thing, but it means you can clip the speaker to a bag or hook it up somewhere without needing to find a separate accessory.
Updates Over the Previous Generation
Ultimate Ears has made a handful of changes from the previous version. USB-C now handles charging, replacing the older port. There’s also a Podcast mode, which adjusts the audio to prioritise voices when you’re listening to spoken-word content, podcasts, audiobooks, that sort of thing. An Outdoor mode tweaks the sound profile to help the speaker carry better in open spaces.
That said, the Wonderboom 4 isn’t going to fill a large garden. It holds up reasonably well when pushed to higher volumes but, as the report makes clear, it’s built for a picnic or a small gathering rather than anything bigger. If you’re expecting it to soundtrack a proper outdoor party, you’ll want to look elsewhere.
You can pair two Wonderboom 4 units for stereo playback, which widens the soundstage if you already own one or are considering buying a second. The controls themselves are straightforward: no companion app, no custom equaliser of the kind you’d find on the JBL Clip 5, and no way to jump back to the previous track directly from the speaker. Whether that bothers you depends on how much you rely on those features day to day.
The Wonderboom 4 price drop to $59.99 is available now across all colour options on Amazon, with no particular finish required to unlock the deal. At the $99.99 list price it’s a reasonable buy; at this level, with the Wonderboom 4 price drop in place, it’s a straightforwardly good one for anyone after a compact, waterproof speaker they can take more or less anywhere.
