I stuck to the default “Standard” for testing, but beyond the few presets, you also have manual control over a limited number of sound frequencies. The nice thing is if the UE Megaboom doesn’t sound quite the way you were hoping, the company also provides a mobile app for tweaking the EQ. On first listen the sound is probably more than you were hoping for from something the size of a large sub sandwich. The UE Megaboom offers enough bass resonance to keep songs from sounding tinny, but the high end of the spectrum isn’t ever drowned out either. In fact, after switching back and forth between the UE Boom and UE Megaboom, I quickly felt unimpressed with the smaller version as it tried to keep up with its bigger sibling. That was my first thought and straight out of the box I wasn’t disappointed. The Megaboom is bigger, so the thought is that it must sound better. The original UE Boom has received rave reviews, so there’s a warranted expectation with the UE Megaboom. It doesn’t matter how long a company can get the battery to last, for instance, if a speaker can’t produce good sound. But I hope that someone like me who goes to Harstyle/Hardcore, EDM, Hip-hop, Pop, you name it (because what genre of music doesn't have bass in their songs anymore), makes me think about the buy this speaker because honestly, compared to that charge from 2013 I would have said, Yes (sturdier, more beautiful, etc) but compared to speakers that are on the market now, in 2018, a big NO, save your money or spend just a little more for something much better.Having tried a few Bluetooth speakers recently, the original UE Boom and now the UE Megaboom are exciting because they get the basics right and build out the product from there. "Hehe, he's finally done with his whining." Sorry for the super long review. It is also not that if you sit at the back of the speaker that you do not hear anything at all, because then the UE also hears nothing at the front and back since he has the speakers on the "sides". Owja and that 360 Degree sound is just a marketing stunt, everyone puts the Just put the speaker on a table, desk, cabinet on the side of the room, or in a corner, and not in the middle of the room, and even then, place the speaker with the speakers facing you. Also, all the aforementioned speakers are just waterproof, as perhaps everyone uses them, if they fall out of hands in the pool or in the shower or bath, etc. Slightly more expensive, better sound quality in every way and of course more bass (again). And if you just want an all-round better speaker go for the Charge 4 which is slightly newer than the Boom 3. Of course the same “sound” as the XB-31 (so a lot of bass). In terms of price, the Sony XB-31 is cheaper, less high and middle tones, but a bass that is 4 to 5 times better (and then the Extra bass button can still be added) and the XB-41 is just a size larger slightly more expensive but much harder. In terms of size, buy the JBL Flip 4, cheaper, slightly smaller even, equally waterproof and floating, and better sound quality (more bass, more neutral sound, also good mids and highs). No idea why you would want to buy this speaker unless you are someone who goes camping every weekend and is so careless with expensive electronics that it has to be water and dust proof. But it is waterproof, and floating is more than enough for 90% of people, I think. Waterproof, dustproof, floats, resistant to a spray of water (garden hose, shower, etc.). By the way, the app is is easy and convenient, if it is within bluetooth range it can be turned on via the app, surely the best feature after the build quality. I don't understand why the UE went for this "sound signature" as it is not even really a neutral sound is because then there should be more bass. The mids (mainly voices) are very good, as are the highs which are also fine. Now that I have it for a few days given a chance I must say I'm very disappointed Let's start: Sound, when I compare this with the old (now elderly Charge 1) the bass is not found on the UE, not even with the Bass EQ you have on the UE App can turn on. Checked reviews online, also here at coolblue, All fine, satisfied, all in all good reviews. Then I bought a speaker from UE online, the Boom 3. (not waterproof, the hard plastic design, sound quality (etc). Only yes, the Charge is of course getting a bit old. I have been using this for years with pleasure, super satisfied with it (especially if you compare it, in terms of price and accessories, with now. To start with, I have (since 2013) the JBL Charge (1). First sorry for everyone who thinks this speaker is great, but this is my opinion.
