The UE Megaboom, a supersize version of the Boom speaker, improves upon the sound quality, battery life and Bluetooth range of the original.
You know what they say: go big, or go home! The Megaboom is nearly twice the volume of the Boom, weighing an impressive 1.93 pounds stretched over its 8-inch-tall cylindrical body. Despite its larger size, the Megaboom remains easily transportable.
Beyond its size, the Megaboom speaker also features several design improvements; for instance, the speaker is now completely waterproof (as opposed to water-resistant) and the speaker now has a better Bluetooth range, which spans 100 meters, and operates using Bluetooth Smart. This feature allows users to turn the speakers on and off from the UE app, or pair two speakers together.
