Ultimate Ears MEGABLAST Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The Good: -Great sound for its size (nice highs and lows) -Good bass -360 degree sound -Louder than the Megaboom -Dust proof and water proof -Long lasting battery -Can connect via Bluetooth or Wifi -Charging base makes it much more convenient to charge rather than having to plug directly into the speaker -Easy control options through phone and Alexa -Easy to use and set up -iOS app allows for updates and more specific controls of the speaker The Bad: -Initial set up of Wifi can be a bit dodgy through the app but restarting the app solved the issue -No carrying case The Bottom Line: I’ve owned and tested a lot of Bluetooth speakers including a few Ultimate Ears. I have the Megaboom so I can directly compare the two. The Megaboom was easily one of my favorite speakers but now after using the Megablast, this is my favorite overall bluetooth speaker. It’s louder and sounds crisper than the Megaboom. The highs and lows of this speaker are great along with the bass. If you haven’t tried a 360 degree speaker it’s pretty amazing since you can listen to it from pretty much anywhere. I just used this at my kid’s school and people were amazed how loud this little speaker could get. The charging base makes it much more convenient to charge than having to take off the bottom to plug in every time. The battery life is long and at full blast it falls a little short of the stated battery life but that’s expected when at full blast. The iOS app allows for the speaker firmware to be updated and you can also control more specific sound preferences. Overall if you’re looking in the premium Bluetooth speaker range, I would recommend looking at the Ultimate Ears Megablast.
