#UE BOOM MEGABOOM PORTABLE#
It’s the perfect poolside speaker with its omni-directional sound and water resistance.UE MEGABOOM is a portable wireless speaker on steroids. We also like the new multifunction button, which means you don’t have to use your phone to switch songs. The wireless connection ranges even further, which is an advantage if you want to connect several in party mode. It’s been made more durable and now even floats in water. The charging port is better placed and the speaker can now be charged wirelessly. The new Megaboom 3 has a marginally better sound, but it is rather the handling and features that are the main selling points. The old Megaboom was already one of our favourites with its outstanding audio. It still has a vastly spacious soundscape with rich tones and plenty of dynamic range. That being said, the basic level is high and we’ve already praised the old speaker for its clear midrange with good details. However, the difference is not so dramatic that it would be spotted immediately in a blind test. After switching back and forth between the old and new speakers, we’re inclined to agree. UE also promises enhanced clarity in reproduction. Above all, there’s good control, so the bass never starts to hum or make the speaker vibrate, which cheaper speakers often have problems with. Actually, significantly better than the Denon Envaya Mini, which won this year’s travel speaker test. It’s good enough for more regular music such as electronic dance music, and certainly has good bass reproduction for a small speaker. 60 Hz is not very deep and means that the killer bass line in James Blake’s “Limit to Your Love” disappears completely. But according to the specifications, this only means an additional 5 Hz, which is barely audible. Unfortunately, this wasn’t available at the time of testing so we can’t offer an opinion on any of the new features there.Īccording to Ultimate Ears, they have cranked up the sound to get an even deeper bass. This can be managed from the redesigned app. As previously, you can also connect up to 150 (!) speakers for a real party mode. In addition, UE Megaboom 3 has a range up to 45 meters so the music doesn’t stop if you go to fetch a drink by the pool. Conveniently, the loudspeaker can keep track of eight sources, two of which can be active at the same time.
#UE BOOM MEGABOOM BLUETOOTH#
Installation and useĪs with most Bluetooth speakers, just hold down the pairing button and select the speaker from among your mobile phone’s available Bluetooth devices. Given the name of the “magic” button, it’s likely that UE will add more features for it in the future. The number of services is currently a bit limited but support for several more has been promised. This button can also be used to access your favourite streaming service playlists. On the top, a new “magic button” has been added that you can use to start and pause music and to change tracks. The volume keys have instead been moved to the front, which both looks better and is a more sensible placement. This allows for an even more omni-directional sound. If you look closer, you’ll notice that the wide band on the back, where the volume buttons sit, has now become considerably narrower.
What’s also new is that they float if you accidentally drop them in the pool. In fact, the new speakers are dust resistant and more resistant to wear and tear, while also being, as before, waterproof and shock resistant. Looking closer, they actually have a new denser high performance fabric, a material used in motorcycle jackets and fire equipment. They have been released in metallic red, black, blue and purple but, as with their predecessors, they will soon come in all sorts of colour combinations and patterns. Build quality and handlingĪt first glance, they seem very familiar with their round shape and size, easy to manage volume buttons and bold colours. But not everything was perfect, so now, happily, UE Boom 3 and UE Megaboom 3 have been released. We also appreciated that over the years the speakers have been updated with new features for free, something we’re not accustomed to with small speakers.
This is because they combined a practical format, good battery life and excellent sound. They have since stood as benchmarks in our portable speaker tests.
Three years ago, we tested the updated Boom 2 and its new big brother Megaboom.
