Answering calls is a cinch, requiring a single press of the Bluetooth pairing button to pick up and another to hang up a call. UE's larger speaker also pleases with the performance of its more practical features. Lastly, the Megaboom's owner can invite others within its range to connect and make song suggestions via the app's Block Party feature. There's really nothing like waking up to your favorite music. If that isn't impressive enough, you can set custom alarms for the speaker. It isn't a necessary component to start using the speaker, but you'd be remiss not to take advantage of its many noteworthy features.įor example, the built-in equalizer can be tweaked to your taste, and you can pair two UE speakers together. Like the rest of UE's lineup, this one's capabilities are nestled in its free companion app, too. Listeners who insist that a speaker's worth relies heavily on its feature set will be pleased with the Megaboom. Walking around the speaker, it's much harder than it used to be (but still possible) to find a "dead spot" in the sound delivery. The 360-degree audio effect, which we found to be improved in the Boom 2 over its original, was also noticeably better here. Every genre of music that we lobbed at it sounds vibrant and expansive. Providing a full, room-filling experience has long been a strong suit of UE's cylindrical Bluetooth speakers, and the larger hardware is just as worthy of the accolade. The Megaboom boasts a powerful sound that's filled with crispness and heady bass.
