The new speakers also come with other added features like Wi-Fi chips that help it to connect with Alexa. The speakers also have multiple far-field microphones underneath the fabric. These will basically help in capturing your voice more effectively.

 

The speakers also offer Bluetooth connectivity and thus can be used as regular Bluetooth speakers. However, both the new speaker get the same water and drop resistance feature as the older Boom devices. The speakers provide uninterrupted music as it plays music over Wi-Fi (with Alexa) even when someone is calling you.
