Short answer: the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #109 of 175 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 2.9/5) at $74.50 and is still sold new; the Ultimate Ears Roll 2 ranks #161 (rated 2.2/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Ultimate Ears Roll 2’s replacement, the Ultimate Ears Miniroll, is still sold new. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 175 medium speakers; for better sound, the EarFun Uboom L ranks #2 at $49.79.
The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. It is rated for 14 hours of battery against 9 for the Ultimate Ears Roll 2. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. The tradeoff: Bass isn’t as deep as the top-ranked speakers and is a little thuddy.
The Ultimate Ears Roll 2 is the lighter pick. Thin, flat profile fits easily in a bag or purse. At 0.7 lbs (330 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 at 0.9 lbs (420 g). It keeps a wired aux input, which the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 lacks. The catch: Barely any bass, rolled off treble off axis.
Buy the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Ultimate Ears Roll 2 is no longer sold new.
