Comparatively poor battery life for size
No buttons to control playback – have to tap the top to play/pause or use mobile device
Large for a portable speaker
The sound distorts a bit at higher volumes
Especially on bassheavy tracks
Not as portable as other speakers unless you've got a backpackit weighs two pounds and is girthier than a bottle of wine
Pricey at £299
Not as portable as the original
The Megaboom's "tap to play" audio controls can be frustrating
