I listened to an eclectic mix of music, including rock, rap, country and dubstep. Vocals can sound a bit muddied, while mids and bass are well represented.

With that said, out of the box, both the BOOM and MEGABOOM disappoint a bit in the highs (more on that later). I am happy to say that the speaker delivers quality that matches the smaller BOOM. Let's be honest, the speaker is expensive at $299, so it had better make a good impression to justify the price. I an looking forward to using this in the summer!īuild quality is important, and it is good that the MEGABOOM is solidly built, but the real test is the audio quality. Instead, I ran it under the water in my sink and it was not damaged. With that said, I did not test the waterproofing outdoors, as it is extremely cold in New York, and not a time for water sports. The build quality exceeds that of the BOOM, however, as it is now waterproof, meaning you can throw it in a pool, or a lake and it should even float. Confused? In other words, it is heavy enough to feel substantial, but I expected the MEGABOOM to be much heavier than the BOOM not so. Upon removing the massive speaker from the packaging, I was immediately impressed by both the heft and the lack of heft.

Today, I am looking at the next-generation, called the MEGABOOM. My current favorite portable is the UE BOOM. Whether listening on my PC, tablet or smartphone, I demand a quality speaker - preferably Bluetooth and portable. Long gone are the days of collecting and storing Spotify is the sole source of all my tunes. Nowadays, I have continued my evolution to mp3 and ultimately, streaming.
