I love this speaker. I purchased it five years ago and it's still going strong. I had a Bose before I bought the Megaboom. The battery on the Bose no longer took a charge after only two years. It started weakening in a year. I thought about tearing it apart and soldering in a new battery but decided to get the Ultimate Ears after my husband purchased the little Ultimate Ears version. I liked the sound and the battery lasted considerably longer than the Bose when new. This U E Megaboom battery seems as good today as it did they day I bought it. It has great sound, takes a beating and I'm not worried about it when I'm by the pool, on the beach or stuck in the rain on a boat or canoe. I would definitely buy another Ultimate Ears Megaboom if this one ever gives up the ghost. Now paired with my Pixel 7, the Bluetooth distance is great. It's the phone that made the real difference in distance. My old phone was half or less than what I get now.

This amazing speaker is worth the money!!! You want a speaker that has amazing sound, a great look, that pairs easily, that floats on water and is waterproof, that is easy to use and comes from a reputable brand? You’ve got it all. One thing to note is that you need to download the app to pair it, but besides that. It’s the easiest to pair. You can sing up to two decided on it and pair it to multiple other boom speakers. Although, if I’m not mistaken, you can only connect it to megaboom speakers. If you want to compare it to other UE speakers, I would recommend going to the website. They have an amazing table that lets you compare all their speakers! If you want to be the person with the cool speaker at the party, go with this one. I’ve never seen one this simple and that has such good sound quality.

I had 3 Megaboom 2. Several booms. Now on the new generation i bought one megaboom 3 and i was very underwhelmed. The sound is so weak and unclear. I bought all the new JBL line up instead. Cheaper and sounds better. Charges my phone also and has party mode. Doesn't float but I'm not IT so who cares? Let me be clear, I own 2 Megaboom 2 and I initially bought 3, I gave one as a gift which still works in perfect condition. The other 2 that I kept one the other hand are no longer functioning. I bought 3 booms which I gave as gifts. All still work except for mine. I decided to buy the megaboom3 out of loyalty and appreciation of the product and the sound quality which I loved. I wanted this to be a good buy. It was the most expensive out of all the speakers, but I'm disappointed with this one. I'm considering returning it. 240$+ tax and shipping. 290$ total and the jbl charge 4 sounds a lot better. Yes it doesnt float and its not omni directional but it sounds better. I dont know maybe im being too harsh and i expected too much perhaps.

We have the Sonos sound system for use throughout our house which we love, but we were looking for a portable speaker that we could take out to the cottage, gardening, etc. I have heard some of the other portable speakers on the market and was mostly disappointed as the sound was a little tinny and seemed to echo. Also, I have seen problems with connecting additional phones to the speaker. For the price, I can't believe how great this speaker sounds. We first tested it in our great room, and were pleasantly surprised at the clarity. We have since used it outdoors and again have enjoyed it. We downloaded the app to our phones and connectivity was simple. Although the speaker is bigger than others, I think the sound justifies the size. So far battery has been great. This wasn't the cheapest route, but we checked a number of sites for quality ratings, and it constantly was in the top. Both my husband and I are enjoying the speaker.

I want to give 5 stars but the megablast I had for 10 years had richer bass and was bigger. I wish this one had bigger bass. The bass is good but I don’t think it’s big enough to hold rich bass. It’s fine though. I mildly regret not researching enough. If you’re a big dubstep fan, go with one with richer bass, not this one. If you’re a jazzy fellow or something, it’s good.
