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

Abstract: Now perhaps I wasn't the target market when Ultimate Ears launched their UE Megaboom Bluetooth speaker . I don't like partying, the music is always too loud and people can't hear my witty quips. I'm normally standing uncomfortably at the bar, drinking end...
Minimalistic style, Bigger sound, better battery, Easy to use
Doesn't offer anything new

Excellent ruggedised design, waterproofing and apps, Fantastic sound, including improved bass, Exceptional battery life well beyond 20 hours
Weight and size have reduced its portability, Price jump hasn't seen a comparable jump in audio or feature quality, Cylindrical design not to everyone's tastes

Retailing at $399.90, the UE MegaBoom is a high-quality, heavy-bass, 360-degree wireless speaker oriented towards people who play heavy-bass music and the music will sound shallow with the bass lowered to the minimum. If you are looking for a speaker with...

Minimalistic style, Bigger sound, better battery, Easy to use
Doesn't offer anything new
The UE Boom 2 is selling for Rs 9,999 right now, and the Megaboom is at Rs 16,495. With all the enhancements in mind, the Megaboom justifies the price, especially if you are looking for more power for your on-the-go parties. But, it offers nothing more th...
