Backed up against an area with steady street noise, the speaker needed to be at about 50 percent volume with a 10 foot radius to hear it well. Outside the house, the speaker performance was a pleasant surprise considering how hard it is to push sound in an open space.

At nearly full volume the speaker never distorted, but was too loud for comfort inside the house. At half-volume the speaker somehow expanded beyond itself and sounded even better. Raising the volume would presumably produce the same narrow results, but it didn’t. Turning the volume up to the half-way mark on the UE Megaboom actually helped to reduce this narrow feeling. I would consider the Bose speakers to be more limited overall, however. They have a remarkable ability to reproduce low-end in a small package.

If you’re looking for something with lots of low end resonance, you might want to look at Bose’s Soundlink line of portable Bluetooth speakers. It’s not especially mind blowing at lower volumes. It always felt like the sound was coming from a small portable speaker (which it was). The nagging issue was, at the lower volume, the speaker had the tendency to come across narrow. Track after track I was thoroughly impressed with the sound dynamics. On the first song - “Ain’t That Easy” - the bass kicked while the vocals popped nicely and floated at the top of the constantly grooving song. The album is a diverse collection of songs which relies heavily on bass runs, but also uses multiple types of guitars across different songs and never treats the vocals identically. To get a sense of the speaker’s capabilities, I placed it across a medium-sized living room at one-third volume and played D’Angelo’s newest album Black Messiah. The Megaboom can be taken anywhere, but is ideal for indoor settings.

I stuck to the default “Standard” for testing, but beyond the few presets, you also have manual control over a limited number of sound frequencies. The nice thing is if the UE Megaboom doesn’t sound quite the way you were hoping, the company also provides a mobile app for tweaking the EQ.

On first listen the sound is probably more than you were hoping for from something the size of a large sub sandwich. The UE Megaboom offers enough bass resonance to keep songs from sounding tinny, but the high end of the spectrum isn’t ever drowned out either. In fact, after switching back and forth between the UE Boom and UE Megaboom, I quickly felt unimpressed with the smaller version as it tried to keep up with its bigger sibling. That was my first thought and straight out of the box I wasn’t disappointed. The Megaboom is bigger, so the thought is that it must sound better. The original UE Boom has received rave reviews, so there’s a warranted expectation with the UE Megaboom. It doesn’t matter how long a company can get the battery to last, for instance, if a speaker can’t produce good sound. Will you miss Alexa on your Boom or Megaboom speaker? Drop us a line on Twitter.Having tried a few Bluetooth speakers recently, the original UE Boom and now the UE Megaboom are exciting because they get the basics right and build out the product from there. While the feature was limited on the non-connected Boom and Megaboom speakers, it’s still rare to see companies remove support rather than add it. It says its the one of the speaker’s most popular features.

Users are also complaining that the app update has removed the ability to remotely power-up the device, but Ultimate Ears says that’s not the case. For hands-free voice control with the great sound of Ultimate Ears speakers, we recommend Ultimate Ears Megablast and Ultimate Ears Blast Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart speakers with Amazon Alexa.” “As we look to provide the best experience across all devices, we are focusing resources on the current app and improving our core, most widely used features. As part of that update, the Alexa Tap-to-Talk feature is no longer supported.

The statement reads: “The new update to the Boom & Megaboom app is focused on enhancing the core functionality of the speakers. They’re much more useful Alexa companions due to the presence of Wi-Fi, but the party’s over for Boom users. The hands-free Alexa experience remains present with the Blast and Megablast, which were designed with the assistant in mind speakers. With paired devices, it was possible for users to simply press the Bluetooth button on the Boom and Megaboom speakers and request the next song via Alexa. In a statement to Engadget, the company says the Alexa Tap-To-Talk feature has been axed to ensure a focus on the most widely used features.

The new version of the Ultimate Ears app for Android has nixed Alexa support in order to focus on the simple task of playing music via Bluetooth. The makers of the UE Boom and Megaboom Bluetooth speakers – among the most popular on the market – have removed support for Amazon’s Alexa personal assistant.
