                While the UE Boom 2 offers some pretty nice features, the JBL Charge 3 offers a longer battery life and a better sound-quality. Still, that doesn't mean it's not worth buying the UE Boom 2 -- if you're looking for an omnidirectional speaker or a more simplistic design, then the UE Boom 2 may be the speaker for you.Mar 27, 2018
