We give you the scoop on what's new, what's best and how to make the most out of the products you love.
If you want to listen in an environment such as partying with friends at the beach, or having a wild party, the MEGABOOM is brilliant.
Without an app, only two Wonderbooms can be synced to play simultaneously, and they can't be paired to previous UE speakers.
By original condition, we'd expect this to mean that you've kept packaging and labels, and that the item is undamaged and unused.
But according to Ultimate Ears, the lack of stereo pairing was intentional because the Wonderboom is not intended to be kept in a living room.
The next time the speaker is turned on, it will attempt to reconnect automatically to the last device it was connected to.
The UE MEGABOOM is a very rugged and loud party speaker; it is not designed for audiophiles listening to symphonies.
If you want a portable speaker for the house to enjoy your favorite tunes, this is where things get tricky.
If you like to customize the sound experience to the max and prefer to have your Bluetooth speaker on a pedestal, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom may not be for you.
The build quality exceeds that of the BOOM, however, as it is now waterproof, meaning you can throw it in a pool, or a lake and it should even float.

Ultimate Ears released the original Boom in 2013, the company singlehandedly heralded a new era of wireless speaker design.
When lying in bed listening to Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Air, or Talking Heads, I found it hard to become enveloped by the music.
Most importantly, you can do all this without having to worry about the Wonderboom falling on the dirt or your buddy missing your poolside throw.
The next time the speaker is turned on, it will attempt to reconnect automatically to the last device it was connected to before it was turned off.
Once your ULTIMATE EARS BOOMs are Doubled Up you will be able to play to both at the same time from one phone or tablet.
Bluetooth speakers change the way you listen to music with their Smart functionality, graspable shape and pumping sound.
If you've changed your mind about keeping your purchase, please return it in its original condition with proof of purchase and we'll exchange or refund it.
For a party setting, the UE MEGABOOM gets insanely loud, making it a great choice for a house party, outdoor barbecue or day at the beach.
The Ultimate Ears apps could be used to help pair up to 150 UE speakers and gave users a visual interface for controlling from which paired device to play music.
Build quality is important, and it is good that the MEGABOOM is solidly built, but the real test is the audio quality.
With that said, out of the box, both the BOOM and MEGABOOM disappoint a bit in the highs (more on that later).
Devices with NFC can be tapped together to establish a wireless connection for sending or streaming files and other data.
STEREO: In this mode, the two speakers play as a stereo pair, with one speaker dedicated to the left channel and one speaker dedicated to the right.
So much so that the company was bought by Logitech in 2008 before they made a fruitful foray into the wireless speaker market.
With Added Care, you'll enjoy the same benefits for a period of up to 5 years, while also adding further benefits not included in the original guarantee.
The speaker even used its floatation capabilities to come back to the surface and continue playing music.
The second version of the speaker offers Block Party feature that allows up to three people to connect to it via Bluetooth and send music to shared playlist.
You can tie the Wonderboom to your backpack during a hike without its weight throwing you off balance, or hang it from the twinkle lights in your backyard.
He found the Bluetooth range to be 60 feet or 20 meters, more than double of the 10 meters range one finds in most Bluetooth speakers.
Loud, durable, and affordable, this Bluetooth speaker will be the life of the party, especially if that party is near a body of water.
Besides being an EQ, it can deliver firmware updates, serve as an alarm clock and even pair with another MEGABOOM speaker.
With that said, I did not test the waterproofing outdoors, as it is extremely cold in New York, and not a time for water sports.
In this mode, two music sources can be switched between quickly by pausing one and playing the other.
In 1995, when he was Van Halen's touring monitor engineer, he responded to Alex Van Halen's complaint that he couldn't hear the others on stage with this innovative headphone build.
But although these these gesture controls were intended to be intuitive, they were often hard to execute.
Upon removing the massive speaker from the packaging, I was immediately impressed by both the heft and the lack of heft.
