"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."
"I've literally thrown it down 2 floors and it survived"
"Yes it's a tank and it's basically waterproof."

"Had the Megaboom for years, excellent pick, but still a bit heavy for holiday."
bikkiesfiend 1.0UE megaboom is pretty rugged, and the clip is a tripod screw with a loop Mine has been in the ocean and under streams with no problems I haven’t looked up if the interface changed to USB-C
CoastRider2210 1.0I have 4 Megabooms, I played thru out my house, when they were new, now 10 years later, they will still connect to each other, but with crackling or static. I’ve updated the Software/Firmware so it’s not that. Sadly these BT Speakers have let me down.
Past-Advice-7997 1.0I had the original megaboom. It’s lasted me 9 years and finally died this past summer. It was great, battery lasted 15 -20 hours even in the later years. Speaker has floated down rivers, dropped, rolled down mountains, left outside in sub zero temps. I can’t speak on their new stuff but their original megaboom is a tank.
AnxiousHippoplatypus 0.2Ultimate Ears megaboom rocks. Have and one for nearly 10 years and still punches bass and had great battery and water proofing.
Audiophile_Frog 0.2I 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.

Curious-Forever44 0.2My 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.
dchow1989 0.2My 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.
DublinItUp 0.2I 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.
