UE's newest addition to the BOOM line-up is nothing less of a stellar performing portable speaker. This is the first Bluetooth portable speaker that can effectively double up as a compact in-door and out-door speaker.

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.

We had been shopping around for this and Mighty Ape came through again. It was cheaper than all of the major players & we knew we would be delivered quickly. Its a great speaker with fantastic sound. Thanks Mighty Ape you are the first point of call for all our shopping needs.

sound great when they work. bluetooth is spotty and don't even bother trying to connect two of them together. you will be pulling your hair out trying to get them to pair. once paired they will cut out and flutter the whole time.

sound is great when they work; durable; looks cool

rarely work

A couple of months ago, I was able to review the UE Boom 2 Bluetooth speaker . I found that it has wonderful audio quality but lacks bass and has a handful of relatively minor issues with the app. This time, I've been given the opportunity to review the UE Megaboom.

Wonderful audio quality; Better bass than UE Boom 2; The Block Party feature is awesome; Portable; Waterproof (1 meter for 30 minutes

Expensive

Best portable speaker, easy to carry Voice quality far excellence. Worth it

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!

I've had my UE Megaboom for about a year now, and I still love it as much as the first day I got it. The sound is by far the best out of any portable speaker I've heard. The cylindrical design is genius, because you can hear the music from any angle.
