UE Megaboomby Logitech
PROS
- Megaboom offers deeper and louder sound than the Boom, is fully waterproof, offers long-range Bluetooth up to 100 feet from the source and is rated for more than 20 hours of playback on a full charge.
- An easy-to-use app lets you quickly pair one to either another Megaboom or a Boom for true wireless stereo.
- It's simple to switch on the fly between music sources on different platforms.
CONS
- It's a bit pricy for a speaker of its class.
- Although still portable, it's heavier and bigger than the Boom, thus not as travel-friendly; it doesn't come with a carrying case and may not fit in your car's cup holder.
- Up to 10 can be wirelessly connected, but they can't be programmed to stream different music, and any pesky phone/tablet notification sounds become magnified interruptions.

The track’s bassline sounds weighty and taut (but never megaboomy, happily) and the speaker never skips a beat.

But at $600 for the two, that option only makes sense if you have a friend with the same taste in speakers.

For a name like Megaboom, it doesn't offer a very impressive sense of very, well, deep boom.

Ironically, UE may have made such an excellent product with the UE Boom, and offered it at such a great price point, that it its successor, the MegaBoom, is a less desirable speaker system.
The sound won’t drop out if you take your phone into the next room, or even the next-to-next room.

$300 is a little steep for a Bluetooth speaker but Ultimate Ears has really crammed a lot of value and good design into the Megaboom for that price, which might just make it worthwhile.
It compares favorably against much less portable desktop speaker sets.

From unboxing to blasting music via an iOS app and pairing two speakers, the setup took me less than five minutes.
