Bought one some months ago and for what it is, a truly portable bluetooth rechargeable speaker, I could not expect more. Use for classical music and jazz it in different places in the garden and even when traveling. It has surprised me how long a charge lasts!

The Good: - Nice rich sound - Good volume - Fairly compact and portable The Not So Good: - Tap to change track doesn't always work - Not fully waterproof This is the second speaker of this brand which I bought because it is such a nice speaker. It has a great sound quality for its size and price.

Wireless speakers are all the rage: just visit your local Harvey Norman or similar store and there is plenty of choice. Today we are testing the biggest sibling in this range from Ultimate Ears, the Megaboom.

This speaker provides big, high quality sound form a compact, lightweight unit. It comes in some funky, colorful designs and is waterproof and will float on water. Using the Ultimate Ears app you can access the added features like "Block Party," which allows you to share DJ duties, and "Double Up,"...

Great sound quality; Loud sound output; Waterproof (IPX7; Floats on water; Added features in the app; Large volume buttons; Colorful patterned designs

Comparatively poor battery life for size; No buttons to control playback – have to tap the top to play/pause or use mobile device

If you're willing to pay for the latest and greatest, the Megaboom is an impressive follow-up.

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

Loud and proud; Delivers extra bass but keeps the mids and highs; Can withstand water; weather; portable use; App extends controls; functionality

Thinking to buy a premium Bluetooth speaker? Ultimate Ears Megaboom is the one to look forward to.

If you want to go big in the $299 bluetooth speaker market and looking for a waterproof speaker then the Megaboom maybe up your alley. Plus with its accompanied app always having updated features even sporting an alarm clock its hard to not like this device.

These speakers are awesome! You can link up over 30 of them together if you have pockets that deep and a desire to do so.

Nice 360 degree sound, good sound range including significant bass. The phone app is the bomb, let's you control all aspects of the speaker.
