Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the boom come with a charge card?
Yes, a USB cable but not a power block for an outlet. - Does it have a 3.5mm headphone jack?
No headphone jack. - How does it sound when it is floating in the water?
It’s quite muted if it’s in the water, but if you are underwater it’s amazing. Best to keep it above water. - Can an auxiliary cord be used with these to play music from a non-Bluetooth device?
No there is no auxiliary port. Totally Bluetooth - Why is there a plus symbol to increase volume and an “i” to decrease it? is it supposed to look like a Christian cross?
I thought I was the only one seeing a (Christian) cross, but after reading through the questions I learn that I am not alone. Yes, now I see that it’s a Plus and Minus sign, but even armed with that information, the layout still evokes a visceral response. An unfortunate graphic, if ever there was one. - Why does this product come with a normal operating manual?
The manual contains instructions for use and probably other item and manufacturer information. - Can you play music while it’s plugged and charging?
Yes. - Does it measure more than 12 inches around?
Yes, if you are measuring the circumference it is just a little over 12″. - What is the voltage on Wonderboom 2?
It’s a USB so 5 Volts. - Any warranty?
2-year warranty from UE for Wonderboom 2. - Does this have a microphone so if I want to record an audio memo I don’t have to turn it off or disconnect it?
No microphone - Does this have an earphone jack?
No, if you have Bluetooth earphones there is no need for a jack, and this item is waterproof, so is sealed to keep water out. - How can I go about getting the manufactures warranty?
UE has an excellent warranty. You don’t need to do anything when purchasing except retain the proof of purchase info in case you ever need to file a claim in the future. - Does this Bluetooth well with a MacBook pro laptop?
It’s a BlueTooth connection, so it should work fine! I’ve paired my Wonderboom 2 speakers, as well as my original Wonderboom speakers, to my phones and laptops (all android) and they have worked great.
