You can configure them to function as a stereo pair (great for outdoor movie night) or as a mirror of each other, which will allow you to fill even larger spaces or pump up the volume. The gasket must be re-secured for the Megaboom to maintain its water-resistant rating.ĭouble Up allows you to pair two UE Megaboom speakers together. Removing the gasket on the Megaboom’s bottom reveals the micro USB charging port and 3.5mm analog input. I found that this feature did an admirable job addressing characteristic problems in both open spaces and when I placed the Megaboom against a wall. If you really want to get down to brass tacks, you can create custom EQ settings to your heart’s content. You can apply extra bass when you’re using the speaker in a wide-open space such as your yard, for example and there’s a small-room EQ setting that tamps down those lower frequencies when you’re using the speaker in a small room. Since your room plays a major part in how a speaker ultimately sounds, the Megaboom’s EQ allows you to tailor the speaker for the particulars of its playback environment. You can configure the Megaboom to serve as a one-time or daily alarm clock, playing either your favorite song or whichever song played last. Three other features are particularly noteworthy: An Alarm clock, EQ customization, and double-up mode.
UE BOOM MEGABOOM ANDROID
It won’t put conference-room vendors out of business, but I used it while on vacation for a conference call and it worked as advertised.Īn Android and iOS app adds even more functions, including the ability to customize the color of its user interface to match the speaker-a cool attention to detail. The Megaboom has a built-in microphone, so you can use it as a speakerphone when paired with your smartphone. The UE Megaboom can withstand being dunked in up to three feet of water for up to 30 minutes, yet its mesh speaker grill is sonically transparent. And support for NFC (Near Field Communication) makes pairing even easier-just tap the source against the speaker and you’ll never have to drill down into your device’s control panel.
UE BOOM MEGABOOM BLUETOOTH
You can pair two Megabooms simultaneously, reducing the frustration many of us have had with older Bluetooth devices that must be paired one at a time. You’ll get less than that in the real world, where physical obstacles will be between your smartphone or tablet and the speaker, but most of its competition is outfitted with Bluetooth Class 2 radios rated for range of about 30 feet. That’s largely because it’s outfitted with Class 1 Bluetooth radio rated for line-of-sight wireless range of 100 feet. We did not have time to rerun the tests at 75% (70dB) and 100% (>80dB),īut we expect times to be a ratio of our tests.The Megaboom isn’t a Wi-Fi speaker, but its range sure makes it feel like one. We set up the pair playing a 50% volume (60dB) and achieved 10Īnd 18 hours. The claim is 15 and 20 hours but at what volume?
UE BOOM MEGABOOM FULL
– it is a little more even and slightly less harsh at full volume although The MEGABOOM 3 sound quality is slightly better than BOOM 3 The five-band EQ can add a little higher-bass andīack-off the treble giving it a mid-signature. Mids and highs are very strong, which makes it more of aīright vocal sound signature. There is some bass but not as advertised ‘Deep Accurateīass’. Middle Bass: 40-100Hz – creeping in at 90 for BOOM 3 and 60 for MEGABOOM 3ĭog whistle: 10-20 – flat and starting to decline Frequency response – BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3 At 75% volume (70dB) sound is more controlled, pleasant and cleaner. We repeat you can’t expect that anyway from a sealed speaker. We make that point as at full volume there is a fair degree of distortion – it is not unpleasant but nor is it audiophile standard. Peter Gun Theme (to test bass), Beach Boys (to test vocals) and a range ofĬlassical music (tests from low to high).īoth speakers managed 84dB (90dB claim, but that could be our test gear) with reasonable sound for IP67 sealed speakers. We ran the speakers flat out with a mix of Blues Brothers If you want elegant sound look at Bose Revolver or JBL Charge non-waterproof speakers! And that is fine for portable, waterproof, outdoor speakers. Ultimate Ears have an emphasis on volume rather than precise audio quality.
