Ueboom 41/16/2024 ![]() ![]() With a familiar form factor and design comes familiar packaging. Our only gripe when we reviewed Ultimate Ears' UE Boom was that it lacked deep bass and we're very curious to hear how the UE Megaboom will fare with its enhanced drivers. This compared to the dual 1.5-inch drivers and dual 2-inch passive bass radiators of the UE Boom. And that's forward-thinking convenience right there.īut most importantly, the UE Megaboom also features enhanced audio performance thanks to its larger dual 2-inch active drivers and dual 2-inch by 4-inch passive bass radiators promising "deep, heart-pounding bass". Although the UE Megaboom features the same durable waterproof cylindrical design (can be submersed under 1m of water for up to 30 minutes) covered in rubber and a stain-resistant acoustic nylon mesh skin, as well as the same amazing immersive 360-degree audio output, it does have a few significant improvements over the UE Boom model like longer wireless Bluetooth range of up to 100ft (compared to 50ft), extended 20-hour battery life (compared to 15-hours), and for the first time the UE Megaboom will be able to receive wireless over-the-air firmware updates whenever they're available instead of having to download a desktop app to update the speaker using the included USB cable. I know you're thinking this looks just like the UE Boom, but what's different about the UE Megaboom internally? Not a whole lot has changed aesthetically, but there are indeed some improvements under the hood as you'd expect from a more expensive model. ![]() So let's get to it, our full and in-depth review is waiting for you after the break! But since then many companies like JBL released drastically improved offerings that surpassed the UE Boom's once firm reign over the portable speaker market.įast forward to present day, Ultimate Ears used its legendary portable speaker design chops to craft the UE Megaboom, the step-up speaker for people who loved the UE Boom but wished it offered more oomph in the bass department. Its a strikingly familiar looking portable sound producing gadget that promises to deliver ridiculously amazing 360-degree worth of sound with deep bass and magical unicorns thrown into the mix. Despite that, the UE Boom was considered as one of the best portable speakers at $200. The only thing that held us back from giving the UE Boom the highest score possible was that it didn't quite have enough bass under the hood. So much so that it was worthy of our Editors' Choice Award. Back when Ultimate Ears introduced the UE Boom more than a year ago – the cylindrically-shaped $200 speaker most known for its durable svelte design and immersive 360-degree sound, the company really impressed us with its advanced portable speaker design. And with the smaller, more powerful and longer lasting models offered recently, it's no wonder everyone wants one. Portable speakers let us enjoy our music wirelessly at home and on the go. ![]()
