“ People want their music wherever they go, and to be part of everything they do. That’s why we designed UE Megaboom to be strong enough to withstand your life and your adventures, and allow you to share the magic of music wherever you go.” (Rory Dooley, general manager of Ultimate Ears).Īnother new addition is the ability to update the speaker over the air (via app). School, work or in a canoe as you launch off of a tall waterfall (not actually recommended). It allows you to take the Megaboom to almost anywhere. This is a popular trick to pull off with new Bluetooth speakers by manufacturers. So what’s new? Besides the battery life, the Megaboom is IPX7 certified, making it both shockproof and waterproof (up to 1m). The battery is supposed to last up to a whopping 20 hours for your 360-degree music enjoyment! It is larger than the Boom, weighs in at less than 2lbs and maintains the same great solid connection the other two speakers have with up to a 100ft Bluetooth connection (and NFC connectivity). More volume, more bass (more Boom!) and comes with all of the same features and then some. This time, UE is back with the Megaboom! Obviously, by its looks, it is an upgraded version of the original Boom, bringing a larger sound presence. Also two of the best wireless speakers we gave away to you, our wonderful readers. They wound up being two of the best wireless speakers we got in the mail for review to-date. Last year we had the chance to sit down with the Mini Boom and Boom by Ultimate Ears (UE), a Logitech brand dedicated to devilishly great-sounding in-ear buds and speakers.
