UE MEGABOOM is the new authority in Bluetooth portable speakers

Last week I wrote on the announcement of UE MEGABOOM (US$299.99) Bluetooth speaker, the new big brother to the UE BOOM ($199.99) and the UE MINIBOOM ($99.99). I...

UE Megaboom review

Clear and powerful sound ; Excellent bass response ; Great balance ; Everything-proof ; Excellent battery life and feature set

Expensive ; Doesn’t quite match the detail of premium portables

There’s only one thing we don’t like about the UE Megaboom: the price tag. $300 is a serious tax to pay for the kind of weatherproofing that’s really only necessary for the perpetual outdoor adventurer — or the terribly careless. If you’re not so sure...

Ultimate Ears UE Megaboom

The Ultimate Ears UE Megaboom is the bigger, louder follow-up to the original UE Boom, and just like its predecessor offers a rugged design and strong audio performance for a portable Bluetooth speaker.

Powerful for its size. Solid audio quality across most of the range.

Struggles with deep sub-bass.

The UE Megaboom offers strong frequency response across the board, with the exception of issues with very deep bass, and it's a solid performer among portable Bluetooth speakers. However, for the same price you can get the superior-sounding but not...

UE Megaboom hits CES 2015: Top indoor/outdoor portable Bluetooth speaker gets supersized (review)

The $300 Megaboom, around double the size of the original Boom, has a totally waterproof design and produces bigger sound with fuller bass.

The larger UE Megaboom improves on the already impressive sound quality of the Boom, with even louder sound and fuller bass. It's also waterproof, has upgraded Bluetooth range (and Bluetooth Smart) and excellent battery life.

A bit pricey at $300; no carrying case included.

The UE Megaboom Bluetooth speaker one-ups its little brother with a range of improvements, including a larger size, bigger sound (particularly on bass), better waterproofing and extended battery life.

Review: UE Megaboom

Ultimate Ears has done exactly what everyone expected it to do: release a bigger version of its winning portable speaker. The UE Megaboom is bigger,...

Same killer sound and smart design of the original UE Boom, just louder, bigger, and smarter. Fully waterproof and IPX7 certified. Awesome battery life---over 20 hours. Comes in a variety of bright colors, also black or white. Nice companion app

Not as portable as other speakers unless you've got a backpack---it weighs two pounds and is girthier than a bottle of wine

UE Megaboom (black)

Not surprisingly, a bigger speaker means a bigger price, and the Megaboom costs $299.99 and AU$349 in Australia (pricing in the UK yet to be announced) or $100/AU$150 more than the Boom , which remains on the market. While the speaker is just hitting...

A bit pricey at $300; no carrying case included.

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Bluetooth speaker review: Built to be the life of the party

This thoroughly weatherized speaker will knock you out with its big sound and awesome feature set.

Excellent 360-degree sound field that can fill a back yard ; Weatherized enclosure (IPX7) ; Excellent battery life

Some of its competitors deliver cleaner sound ; It's on the heavy side

If you were to turn the Megaboom on its side and use it as a battering ram that would pretty much sum up the speaker’s take-no-prisoners approach to music. Small rooms, big rooms, open spaces—the Megaboom will easily fill them with sound. No matter how...

Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM Review

This is the most durable speaker we tested.

It doesn’t have Wi-Fi connectivity.

The Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM is the best wireless speaker for outdoor use and travel situations, like camping, sitting by the pool or road trips to the beach.
