In today’s crowded portable speaker market, it’s not enough to simply provide solid performance and wireless streaming. A new suitor in this buyer’s market has to offer a little something extra if it wants to make a splash. Divoom’s new Voombox Outdoor is equipped with the goods to allow you to do just that – literally.

Following the growing trend of Bluetooth speakers that can tag along just about anywhere, the Voombox Outdoor is armored in a sleek casing of ribbed plastic that is both dust and water resistant. At the center of that rugged exterior rests a solid selection of features including Bluetooth 4.0, a rechargeable battery with a 12 hour runtime, an onboard speakerphone, and a stout little 5-driver sound system pushed by a relatively hefty 15 watts of power.

The Voombox Outdoor comes in a variety of colors, including red, blue, black, and green, and also offers a hand strap to string it up for a hands free soundtrack to your outdoor adventures. Best of all, the speaker has an attractive entry-level price tag of $100.

While there are plenty of options to choose from out there, the Voombox Outdoor makes an enticing plea, offering the right features at the right price. You can get your hands on Divoom’s latest speaker starting today.

Sonos Move 2: Sonos’ biggest portable speaker gets a big update

Sonos Move 2 in olive.

Sonos has unveiled the latest version of its Move portable smart speaker -- the Move 2. It looks nearly identical to the original Sonos Move, yet contains several updates that bring it in line with the company's recently released Era 100 and Era 300 speakers. The Move 2 has been priced at $449, a $50 increase over the previous model, and will be available starting September 20, 2023, in a wide selection of countries. The Move 2 replaces the first-gen speaker, though Sonos will continue to sell the original Move while inventory remains, so you may want to keep an eye open for some deep discounts.

At a distance, you can't tell the Move and Move 2 apart, well, unless the Move 2 shows up in its new color option -- olive. The Move 2 is a hair bigger, but it still weighs the same 6.61 pounds. Sonos has kept the same rubberized no-slip base as well as the integrated carry handle on the back. As with the original, the Move 2 is built for the outdoors with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance.

UE’s Epicboom is a powerful, portable, pool-proof speaker

Ultimate Ears Epicboom in two color options.

Ultimate Ears (UE) has added another Bluetooth speaker to its portable family of Boom products: the $350 Epicboom, which hits ultimateears.com on September 6, and then additional retailers on September 22. Available in two color choices, The new speaker fills the size and power gap between the Megaboom 3 and the giant Hyperboom, while boasting impressive ruggedness.

Like the rest of the Boom family, the Epicboom is designed to offer 360-degree sound and the company says the speaker's oval shape helps by offering a larger internal acoustic volume than the cylindrical design of the Boom 3 and Megaboom 3. It has two 1.5-inch active mid-high frequency transducers and a 4.6-inch woofer, which UE claims will deliver loud, bassy sound.
