One thing I wish is that there wasn’t a need for a separate app for each speaker. You can also update the firmware through the app, which can be used for fixing bugs and new features. The app also has an alarm function, which I thought was a nice touch. It’s for these reasons why I’m assuming it’s disabled by default. I also found it often paused the music rather then going to the next song. You hand needs to cup it just right, and it only works when it’s not sitting flat something I found to be bizarre. While it sounds good in practice, I found it rather finicky. Taping the top once toggles playback, double tapping skips the song. The UE MEGABOOM app is great for getting the most out of your speaker The MEGABOOM can pair up with other MEGABOOM and BOOM 2 speakers for even greater soundĪnother feature you can enable through the app is the Tap Controls. You can also access an equalizer in the app to get the exact sound that you want. The range is limited to the distance between the two speakers, but it still gives you some flexibility. According to Ultimate Ears, this is due to the speakers having different sound signatures, so the sound would not be ideal. Unfortunately, you can’t do the Stereo mode while using a combination of the MEGABOOM and the BOOM 2. If you pair it with other MEGABOOMs, you can use it in Stereo mode for a truly impressive experience. The app also allows you to pair up with other MEGABOOM and BOOM 2 speakers. Fifty in total, to be exact. This is great when you don’t want to get up, but it can also be handy for if you misplaced it. One of the most convenient, in my opinion, is the ability to remotely turn on and off the speaker. While it’s not required whatsoever to use the speaker, it does allow you to access some great features. If you pair the MEGABOOM to a mobile device, it’ll ask you if you want to download the app. You’re more likely to get around 25 more than a full day! It’s featured up to 20 hours, but you’ll probably get even more. So while you might not want to go diving with it, for a beach party, the MEGABOOM will work great. The giant volume buttons on the MEGABOOM make it immediately recognizable Featuresīesides it’s main feature being the 360 degree sound, the MEGABOOM still has some other great features. While the majority of speakers have volume controls, the giant buttons on the UE MEGABOOM give it it’s unique look, and I think it looks rather stylish. In case you’re wondering, they are actual buttons, not touch sensitive. The two giant volume buttons are great for adjusting the music when you’re not near your phone. You can also attach the MEGABOOM to a carabiner… Or a tripod It means that no mater where you are around the speaker, you are still getting the same sound quality. But the best thing about it’s design is the 360 audio. It also means you can still listen to music while it’s charging. You can have it upright, with the power and Bluetooth buttons at the top, or you can have it upside down and have your “legacy” devices plugged in via it’s AUX port. It’s tubular design really helps with the functionality of the device. While I don’t mind yellow, I did find it odd that it didn’t match either the Blue or Black of the speaker. Oddly, however, is that the Micro USB cable and power adapter are bright yellow. Mine is the Black/Blue, which I thought matches rather nicely with Apple’s new color options for the iPhone 7. The UE MEGABOOM comes in a variety of colors. Sliding it off reveals a carrying case, with the speaker, power adapter, and Micro USB Cable. Rotating the packaging to the back reveals it’s key features, such as 360 degrees of sound, IPX7 Waterproof rating, 20 Hours of battery life, and a 100ft range for Bluetooth devices. On the front of the case, it displays the speaker itself. The entire presentation of the UE MEGABOOM is very nice.
