Ultimate Ears - MEGABOOM 2

I have a ue mega boom 2 I think and the batter life just doesn’t hold up

I have a UE mega boom. I recommend.

I bought a UE mega boom about 7ish years ago and it’s seen some things. Used at almost full volume every day in a body shop 5 days a week for 2 of those years. Been left out in the rain, dropped, dust covered. Still going strong. Still holds a charge.

My first setup looked exactly like this, except I had a UE Megaboom connected via rca-headphone jack cable. Worked great until I got monitor speakers.

I have a UE megaboom which has been knocking around for around 10 years and the battery still rocks. At some stage it started failing and I looked up a Reddit post which said to stick it in the freezer overnight and reset it. This was 4 years ago and it's still going strong.

Imo boom is already small enough, I could gladly carry around a mega boom everywhere tho..

Fully recommend the Megaboom, it packs a surprising amount of punch for a small speaker.

Yes it's a tank and it's basically waterproof. Plus if you have more than one you can link them together. Super versatile

Problem is - size matters, in terms of bass. UE Hyperboom has excellent bass, but is large. UE megaboom is smaller, still great bass for the size. Had the Megaboom for years, excellent pick, but still a bit heavy for holiday. I recently got the JBL flip 7 and can recommend it as a lightweight portable option. (*Edit, JBL flip, not charge)

With a budget of 150 or less id stop by Walmart and see what they have. Or if you are crafty, an electronics recycling center is a great place to make something or find and old one with a dead battery for cheap. Just know the cheap speaks usually break there charge ports. (I work in a factory and everyone has a cheap Walmart special.) I got a old UE Mega boom and that is good enough for me.

True, I do have to plug mine in for my 12h shift.
