"The build quality is amazing, thing is a tank (99% sure it could stop a bullet). ... I have it for 5-6 years now, pretty much bought it right after release and its still every bit as good as it was out of the box. ... And I use it day and night, summer and winter, water or ice, be it +30C or -30C whatever."
"But i literally use them every day and have gotten WAY more than my money out of them all, and every one i’ve ever had is still going strong after 5, 4, & 3 years (my epicboom is only 2 weeks old, but i fully expect it to be solid)."
"Still going strong for me since 2018!"

"The vocals are clear, the details are crisp, and the bass is very nice, although it is not the kind of deep-overpowered and artificial bass that for example JBL has."
"Megaboom has a better outdoor sound stage score, due to the 360* tweeter design."
"sounds way better than you would expect"

"it really drains the battery and you would have to keep it on the charge."
"The battery died on another mega boom after about 5 years. ... Even after replacing the battery it just never worked the same again."
"after a couple years of play, they seem to lose volume just a bit."

I have both? Party mode kinda sucks, it kills the bass and just makes it loud. I'd rather have two in normal mode, they'll sound way better. I have 2 Sony XG300s and a field one I use. Also have 2 UE Megaboom 3s and a Hyperboom. I'd definitely go TWS or get a hyperboom/Ult Field 7 or something similar.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth Speakers and Party Mode (vs TWS). ->For bass-heavy performance, you might also consider Ultimate Ears (UE) Megaboom 3
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best portable wireless speaker in terms of bass ->My 2 cents - amazing speakers, have a MegaBoom 3 right now and let me tell you it sounds miles better than what i’ve owned before. The vocals are clear, the details are crisp, and the bass is very nice, although it is not the kind of deep-overpowered and artificial bass that for example JBL has. The build quality is amazing, thing is a tank (99% sure it could stop a bullet). I have it for 5-6 years now, pretty much bought it right after release and its still every bit as good as it was out of the box. And I use it day and night, summer and winter, water or ice, be it +30C or -30C whatever. Battery is still great, can hold all day without break for sure. I don’t see why so many people keep bashing these speakers for their uniqueness (especially in sound department) and somehow MegaBoom lineup gets the most hate. For me its the best and i’ve owned dozen of them from different brands.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What are your opinions on Ultimate Ears? ->So this is probably going to invite the opposite opinion… These speakers are NOT BAD. But the PRICE IS HEAVY. Point being, you’ll get more value out of a UE Megaboom or any other speaker for that matter with way less burden on your wallet. But if you have the cash to spend, by all means go for it. Just know the tradeoff: cool tailgate conversation piece that’s pretty convenient at the expense of sound quality. I have the speakers on my new AT4X just because they are standard for that package. And I’m not complaining, for what it’s worth.
r/gmcsierra • Multi pro tailgate speakers ->I have used JBL Flip 6, Boom 3 and JBL Go 2 and all worked great. i set them on the floor for when I do auffguss and it has never been a problem. I even bring the phone in with me to control the music if needed and if it is in the floor it doesn’t heat up at all
r/Sauna • Harvia wireless sauna Bluetooth speaker ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
