About the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM
Bring BIG sound everywhere
Bring BIG sound everywhere
The UE MEGABOOM (pictured in blue) is IXP7-certified waterproof, delivers 360° sound, and keeps the party going with 20 hours of battery life.
True to its name, the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM packs a powerful punch. Your phone or tablet supplies the tunes wirelessly as the speaker pumps out party-fuelling 360° sound. It goes all night long with up to 20 hours of battery life. But this beast of a Bluetooth speaker can also travel anywhere.
First off, it weighs less than two pounds. It's also cleverly designed — you can grab and carry the speaker as easily as your favourite beverage. And the UE MEGABOOM is stain-resistant and IPX7-certified waterproof. That means you can enjoy it at the beach, the pool, or even while relaxing in the tub or shower.
Pair up and party with 100 feet of Bluetooth range
While the UE MEGABOOM excels on bass-heavy tracks, this speaker can handle your whole playlist. Just press play. Two 2" full-range drivers cover the highs and mids, while two passive radiators reinforce the low frequencies. Meanwhile, you can just set the speaker down, then move around and mingle. With up to 100 feet of wireless Bluetooth range, you're not tethered to the speaker with your phone.
Listen in stereo or double the volume
Still not enough boom? Wait, really? Okay. With the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM app for iOS® and Android™, you can stream simultaneously to two MEGABOOMs and nearly double the volume. Or use the app to make them a stereo pair for a really fun listening experience. The app also lets you adjust EQ or set an alarm.
You gonna answer that call?
If someone calls and interrupts the music, you can answer it right on the MEGABOOM. It doubles as a speakerphone. Give your friends directions, ask them to bring more ice, and get back to the tunes. You'll hear the person on the other end clearly, and the MEGABOOM's built-in microphone lets you talk to them with ease.

I bought two of these to replace my original UE Booms, and boy are they so much better in every way. They are definitely fatter than the originals, but not much heavier. The bass is more pronounced, but there is room to improve with the lower frequencies.
