Ultimate Ears is expanding its line of portable Bluetooth speakers with the Everboom. This one should be pretty safe to take with you on your wildest adventures, as it has a sturdy design and an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating. It can even float, so you can take it with you to the pool or lake. There’s also an Outdoor Boost button, which you can press to increase the bass and optimize the sound for the great outdoors.

The oval-shaped Everboom, which is essentially a smaller version of UE’s Epicboom, offers 360-degree audio and a Bluetooth range of 180 feet. The EU says the battery will work for up to 20 hours before needing to recharge via USB-C. Plus, there’s one-touch NFC connectivity that works with compatible smartphones running at least Android 8. UE claims this will let you quickly switch between multiple people’s playlists when multiple phones are connected – perfect for a campfire singing.

Meanwhile, the Logitech-owned brand has updated its Wonderboom, Boom and Megaboom speakers with USB-C charging ports and new colorways made entirely from post-consumer recycled fabric. The Boom 4 and Megaboom 4 are built with a greater proportion of recycled materials than previous models and feature “enhanced deep bass radiators to unleash even more powerful sound,” says UE. As for the Wonderboom 4, it introduces a podcast mode – the previous model is one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers.

Additionally, UE is introducing a new feature for all speakers working with its Boom app. With Megaphone, users can speak into their phone and project their voice through the speaker.

The Everboom and refreshed speakers are all available in North America starting today and are expected to arrive in Australia, New Zealand and Europe in the coming months. The $250 Everboom is available in Charcoal Black, Azure Blue, Enchanting Lilac, or Raspberry Red. You can get the Wonderboom 4 in an Active Black, Hyper Pink, Cobalt Blue, or Joyous Bright colorway for $100. As for the $150 Boom 4 and $200 Megaboom 4, they are available in Active Black, Cobalt Blue, Raspberry Red and Enchanting Lilac.
