SecurityNearby92I have a ue mega boom 2 I think and the batter life just doesn’t hold up
AnxiousHippoplatypusUltimate Ears megaboom rocks. Have and one for nearly 10 years and still punches bass and had great battery and water proofing.
Audiophile_FrogI can't comment on the Hyperboom as I've never heard one. However, I have heard various generations of the Boom and Megaboom and I can tell you that these definitely don't sound good at all.

averagejoe538For the ~$200 price range I’d look at the UE MEGABOOM. Really enjoy mine.
CauliflowerTop2464I have a UE mega boom. I recommend.
Comprehensive_Oil_43I 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.
dchow1989My UE Megaboom is from 2015, just replaced the battery last year. Turns on remotely, is still completely waterproof, pairs easily with my hyper boom. It is a literal tank.
DublinItUpI 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.
