For example, like the BOOM, the MEGABOOM's cylindrical shape means that there are no edges or potential hooks for it to grate or snag on. From its capacious 20-hour battery life (up from 15 hours for the BOOM) and 100-foot Bluetooth range (up from 50 feet on the BOOM), to the smallest details of the design, the MEGABOOM will perform in just about any environment.

Still, I would consider the MEGABOOM a truly portable wireless speaker. It's the difference between shoving the BOOM into a small satchel or even a coat pocket and the MEGABOOM requiring a backpack or something of that ilk. It's the size in form factor which is the dramatic change here. Although those 300g are noticeable when carrying the MEGABOOM for extended periods of time in comparison to the BOOM, the extra weight is negligible in day to day use. It's still extremely solid, and really easy to pick up and carry around with one hand. The MEGABOOM weighs 1.93 Ib or 875g, which is just over 300g heavier than the BOOM. It's 8.3 inches tall and has a diameter of 3.3 inches. The MEGABOOM is exactly like that, only the bigger version that holds about a dozen more pencils. In my BOOM review, I likened the BOOM's shape to that of an old-school cylindrical pencil case. All the design cues and details are virtually identical to the BOOM. In terms of design, the MEGABOOM looks like a super-charged version of the BOOM. Read on to find out how the MEGABOOM fared. This last week I've had the pleasure of putting UE's MEGABOOM through its paces, especially in comparison to the smaller BOOM. It's the portable Bluetooth speaker I've been recommending to everyone that's been asking. I reviewed the UE BOOM last year and was thrilled with its performance as a portable, durable and great sounding wireless speaker. Last week I wrote on the announcement of UE MEGABOOM (US$299.99) Bluetooth speaker, the new big brother to the UE BOOM ($199.99) and the UE MINIBOOM ($99.99).
