Even in a number of luxurious accommodations, you can always expect a pretty terrible sounding alarm clock speaker as your only option to play your music. Ultimate Ears has the perfect speaker for your travels in the new Wonderboom. The grenade-shaped speaker is rugged and waterproof and has the ability to pair to another Wonderboom for even bigger sound. Battery life is rated at about 10 hours and connects to your phone via Bluetooth.
