KitGuru Says: I am a big fan of the MEGABOOM. It looks great, delivers a punchy sound and feels like it could take a beating before giving up the ghost. It is expensive, but perfect for those that want high quality portable sound.

Unique look; Powerful sound; impressive bass; Waterproof; great range; Application allows remote on; alarm and EQ functions; Battery lasts 20 hours and charges within two

Pricey; especially in the UK; Bass drops out at maximum volume; Smart on/off function does not always work

An amazing machine for outdoor use and people listening to "bass-free" music. ** NOT FOR BASIC USERS ** Very easy to take on adventure as it takes less space than its competitors in the same strl. The sound feels a bit confined to other speakers, but it is a good thing to get when it's waterproof.
