That said, the Boom 2 does sound good overall, and it's impressively lightweight. It's about two-thirds the size of the HK and fits into my backpack much more easily, which is a huge plus for portability.
Still, I'm disappointed it doesn't deliver anywhere near double the volume as advertised. Also, the battery life falls short—it only lasts around 3 hours at full volume, which is only slightly better than the HK despite the claims.
So overall, I'd say it's a mixed bag. I'm happy with the compact size and decent sound, but disappointed by the misleading power and battery claims. Oh, the full waterproof feature is really cool and I probably will use that. I row during the summer on a crew team and plan on regularly bringing it on board.

I did this a couple of times with the Harman kardon that I had. But only a couple of times. You had to use the app and it worked but because of the cost of those Harman kardon speakers, I never invested in more than two and most of the time I just use larger speakers. I have quite a collection of more professional Bluetooth speakers now, so I just bring a big speaker instead of doing the party casting. It does work though. And for $35, I would definitely grab a couple.

Interesting. I use this in my backpack at full volume. I wonder if I have a dud. It sounds fine, but definitely not excessively loud. Thanks for the feedback.

Common mistake. I'm sure you've tried this. But when paired to Bluetooth. Press vol up all the way on your phone. And also vol up on the speaker. Many speakers are not set to max and play halfway. Forcing the max on the speaker and max on the cellphone.
