While that speaker also has passive radiators, it just can’t seem to beat the bass of the MEGABLAST.
It’ll never impress us the way one of our dedicated subwoofers would, but it blows competitors like the JBL Charge 3 out of the water. This is something we noticed with the $84 JBL Flip 4 ( full review here ), which wasn’t quite able to keep up with busier tracks, and lost some detail in the high and mid-range.Īs for the low-end, we can say happily that the MEGABLAST has the best bass of any portable Bluetooth speaker we’ve tested. Nothing felt muddy or jumbled, regardless of the genre we played, and we didn’t have any issues with sounds receding into the background. In tracks that featured a lot of instruments in the mid to high range, the MEGABLAST was great at separating the details and pinpointing specific notes. The UE MEGABLAST has a more well-rounded sound than most portable speakers we’ve tested. The MEGABLAST has a well-rounded sound | The Master Switch High-End (Treble) and Low-End (Bass) Fortunately, a moderate level is all you need to get a solid sound out of the MEGABLAST. This isn’t a deal-breaker - in our experience, most speakers of this size have distortion issues at max volume - but it’s worth noting if you enjoy cranking your tunes. This is a similar experience to one we had with the $109 UE BOOM 2 - another speaker in the Ultimate Ears line-up. When pushed past 75 percent volume, the MEGABLAST tends to distort some of the higher frequencies. However, the volume level doesn’t always make a good speaker, and we would argue that most listeners wouldn’t want to blast their sound on this one. There aren’t many Bluetooth speakers in this range that can reach the same level as the MEGABLAST - especially the smaller models available. The MEGABLAST is a powerful speaker | The Master Switch These drivers give the MEGABLAST its signature sound and power, crushing other models like the $119 JBL Charge 3 ( full review here ) for volume.
Though it may not look like much from the outside, which we’ll talk more about below, the inside of the MEGABLAST houses two tweeters, two mid-sized drivers, and two passive radiators. If there’s one thing we can say for certain about the $175 UE MEGABLAST, it’s that it is one powerful Bluetooth speaker. If you want to see how it stacks up, see our best wireless speakers. In this review we’ll break down the MEGABLAST’s sound, design, packaging and accessories, specs, and more. We’ve come across a couple of gems, including the Ultimate Ears MEGABLAST. We’ve been reviewing quite a few portable speakers lately, in search of the one that will give us the best value-for-money, sound, and ease-of-use, all in one package.
