VERDICT

I know some golfers love music on the golf course while others hate it. However you lean, here is the Bushnell Wingman Review for you to dive into.

Would I buy this bluetooth speaker. YES…and it’s not because it plays music. Confused huh?

Yes, the Bushnell Wingman speaker does what it says on the package regarding playing music, at a good quality I might add. But, it’s the features where you see its true worth. Within the Bushnell Wingman app (which comes with the Wingman) you can customize any phrase you want and and the speaker will play it out loud. That’s right, whether you want to give some praise to your mate or for the speaker to say “you suck at golf”, the Wingman can do it all. I know what phrase I will be recording

Pros:

Feature-rich speaker Magnetic cart mount Voice GPS Great sound quality Personalized voice commands

Cons:

Battery life could be better

BUSHNELL WINGMAN REVIEW:

We all love music, so why not listen to it on the golf course. The Bushnell Wingman can help you do just that but with an added twist. It scored a 91.5 in testing earlier this year against the best speakers on the market. It comes with an app that is pre loaded with 36,000+ courses worldwide while also reading yardages to the front, middle and back via the detachable remote. That’s right people, with a press of a button the speaker will provide yardages wherever you are on the course. Pretty cool.

Where the Bushnell Wingman excels, is in the features section. You can customize personal messages like “get in the hole” or “you suck Jeff”. If it were me, I would be pressing that customizable button non-stop. Especially when having a cheeky side bet with my mates. Throw in a magnetic BITE to attach to the cart and you have yourself a sweet little bluetooth speaker.

NERD TALK:

For all you nerds out there, me included, here is some technical jargon to please our minds. The Bushnell Wingman has a USB charging cable eliminating the need for non reusable batteries. It also has a 10 hour battery life which lasts around 36 holes. If you ask me, thats more than enough golf for one day. The Wingman weighs 1.5 lbs which doesn’t seem much but for a golf speaker, it was one of the heaviest speakers tested. Lastly, for all us nerds, the Bushnell Wingman isn’t fully waterproof which isn’t ideal. However, I have a solution. Don’t play golf in the rain…Sorted

 

SOUND & CLARITY:

The Bushnell Wingman held its own for the most part, but for those bluetooth speaker connoisseurs, it might not be up to scratch. When comparing it to Ultimate Ears and Bose, their full 360 Omnidirectional sound allows the sound clarity to flourish. Those who aren’t bothered by every syllable pronounced or not having the best bass will enjoy the Wingman’s sound.

The Bushnell Wingman also does a good job at not projecting the music onto other fairways. The Wingman is loud enough for everyone in the group to hear which keeps those “get off my lawn” golfers happy.

FEATURES:

As mentioned before, the Bushnell Wingman has a couple of sweet features. One being the personalized audio to give your buddy encouragement or talk trash them. Mine would be the latter. You can also attach your Wingman to the cart via the strong BITE magnet. Trust me, that magnet won’t go anywhere once it is attached.

The other great feature is the Bushnell Wingman app that comes with the speaker. You can see a fly over of your hole, track your stats, or get the yardages for every shot. Whatever your preference is, the Bushnell Wingman has you covered.

DURABILITY:

Although it isn’t the most durable speaker on the market, we did find it to be durable enough. It has a strong plastic surrounding the speaker which will take a beating year after year. Yes, it has a few areas that could get damaged easier but every bluetooth golf speaker has the same problem.

BOTTOM LINE

After taking an extensive look at the Bushnell Wingman Review, I would recommend getting your hands on one. These are one of the most searched speakers/GPS online for golfers.

When combining a good sounding speaker with all the features that come with it, you get great value for money in my opinion. The only downside to the Wingman is its only designed for a cart. If you’re a golfer who likes to lug your bag around 18 holes, this might not be the speaker for you.
