Your review was very helpful. It was very in-depth .I have looked into the play pause issue . they have software updates for it through the app. now once you upgrade the software you can play, pause, and change tracks through the magic button. one press pauses, one press, plays ,then double press advances the track. Hope this helps.
I've owned a UE Megaboom from it's start and love it, was looking forward to a bigger speaker from the same brand but no AUX input is a definite deal breaker for me.
Hi, I'm looking at 3 speakers I want to upgrade my jbl charge 4, it has problems. I was looking at the Sony xb41 or the Sony xb33 or the ue megablast, I want something louder than the charge 4 and with good sound, thanks.
I agree about having no playback control button. I even hate my own Echo Dot for not having a way to end calls with a quick press, and having to say, "End Call" after pressing the button on it, or say, "Alexa, End call" during a call. It's awkward. And that's just one example of how much I hate having to rely on Alexa understanding me, I have the app, and I can't even just play music straight to it using my phone, it's unbelievably difficult. So, about the Blast & Megablast and missed opportunities, they just had to have the top look like the Wonderboom! The Wonderboom was perfect! It has a dedicated button, that says UE, but does pausing and skipping tracks!! And that's all these speakers need! Plus, the Blast didn't need to be more expensive than the Boom 2! I would never even pay a full $200 for the UE Boom 2 anyway, and I love that speaker! I paid only $100 for it on Black Friday, and it'll be the same price this year. I also love the UE MegaBoom, and I wouldn't pay more than $150 for that, which is extremely hard to find I know, but that's half of it's MSRP of $300 also. These things do work as Bluetooth speakers like normal, however! You forgot to mention that! Just an odd move for them (UE). Would have been more appealing if they'd chosen Google Assistant in my opinion. But I don't even have a Google Home, so that's not what's important. You're right, these speakers are just not appealing for most people.
Wish I’d seen this before ordering mine! The no aux I can live with, but the no prev and next track... that’s a problem! One question though, where do I get a comparable sounding Alexa with a battery? Alexa in the garden was my reason for purchase, and I got the megablast for £150, equivalent to $185.
they're currently $99 on amazon w/ free shipping. they were being sold for $230. I was planning to buy the JBL Flip 4 but now i don't know. Anybody know what to recommend?
The blast and megablast conect to your playlist in the spotify the original alexa i dont know but since the speakers use the alexa and play trought spotify it probably makes alexa recognise spotify
God wants me to have an auxiliary input port. Come on UE, why should I have to rely on inferior bluetooth? Do you think we don't care about sound quality? No deal.
Wow, the flip 4 destroyed the UE blast in the sound test. Lots more Bass and sound quality was better on the mega blast but I still thought flip 4 was doing really good for $200 less and being much smaller. Mids on UE were so weak though, especially on the little blast.
By using the Alexa app, you can setup the Alexa function of the speaker, sign into Spotify through the Alexa app, and set it as your preferred music service. Then, when you ask for a song, it will play from Spotify or whatever music service you signed into and chose on the app
I have the JBL Xtreme and my Bose mini soundlink. With them I can cover all my needs. Good quality listening with light, small speaker Bose. Party hard with friends (maybe with another Xtreme) with my JBL. Also think that the Bass is waaay better on the JBL than the BLAST or MEGAboom
This video was soooo informative. The blast also doesn't give you the option to turn it on and off from the app like the boom did really thinking of taking it back I'm annoyed lol
Everybody test these speakers inside rooms, not in the open, I recently bought a Boom 3 and in the open meaning of you are out in a picnic the speaker is pretty low so you need to keep volume to 90% which drains the battery fast, from 16 hours they claim playing Spotify I would say it last 3 hours at best before getting the first warning ⚠️ other thing the app is not very accurate, It might show speaker at 90% yet still get the warning ⚠️ message to recharge. I wanna get a bigger speaker so I can play it at 50% volume and still get a decent sound in the open.
THUMBS UP IF YOURE STILL ROCKIN OUT WITH A (MEGA)BLAST IN 2019!!!! A QUALITY BUILT PRODUCT NO DOUBY.. TAKES A KICKIN AN STILL KEEPS LICKIN!! LOVE MY MEGABLAST.. #MEGABLESSED
@@sinjon I prefer teufel, JBL and even soundcore(anker) products over UE.. Just better sounding. Even tribit and earfun have great products. UE might be well built and offers lots of functionalities and overall grwat quality, but the sound quality and or tuning is not great for the asked price.. Compared to other brands

Is the megablast louder than the megaboom ??...is it worth upgrading ??
Megablast is good with Water, Loud and Bass. megaboom has more bass by 0.02 MHZ and less loud and also good with water so stick with MegaBlast
FaisalEightThreeSix - RB does the megablast worth an extra 80$??
You activated my echo dot! Lol
Its a very very good review. Thank you for that i hope you will keep delivering reviews o YT.!!!! Love it!

Who has more bass? Megaboom or megablast ? And who has more deeper frequencies? So who is better, the megaboom or megablast? Please answer me.
DEATHSHADOWz none, get a Charge 3 or Flip 4 or Xtreme

With Samsung dual audio, you can connect both.

Flip 4,chargue 3,Sony xb30 or Sony xb40??
Which Is best for parties,football matchs, etc???
Thanks in advance!!!
Nieblado 12 Everyone of those are not enough loud.
Nieblado 12 jbl xtreme or boombox
Get a JBL Xtreme
I know in previous versions of the megaboom's you could tap the top to play/pause.
Great great review! You covered everything that I would have. Even somethings I didn’t think of! Which is unusual because I’m a total gadget hound!!
they're currently $99 on amazon w/ free shipping. they were being sold for $230. I was planning to buy the JBL Flip 4 but now i don't know. Anybody know what to recommend?
Sony XB30?
@@GYMCADDY got a Sony XB30, is the mega blast better ?
Can you connect Alexa to spotify?
The blast and megablast conect to your playlist in the spotify the original alexa i dont know but since the speakers use the alexa and play trought spotify it probably makes alexa recognise spotify
My mega blast got stolen... I reorder one on ebay, but the sound was totally off!!
Please any saleing one 🙏 please comment back
“Alexa stop”💀💀💀💀

How big is it?
Haha I can connect to speakers together. With the note 8
I like JBL because they have Google assistant. Which can be used in a shower. It can hear you and do anything you need for your music.
Wich speaker has more bass the ue mega Boom or ur mega blast

Megablast vs. Blast.
Which is louder?
And by how much?
watch the video...
Get the remote if you play at full volume
Can the Megablast and Megaboom connect together?
No
Does spotify work with Alexa?
Yes

I don't like that I can party up with my friends mega boom. Why remove that amazing feature.
Oblivion from Illumi Music... nice choice...
What is that colorful speaker in the back?
only seen now sorry, but its the jbl pulse 2
What was the song playing with the volume test
I have the JBL Xtreme and my Bose mini soundlink. With them I can cover all my needs. Good quality listening with light, small speaker Bose. Party hard with friends (maybe with another Xtreme) with my JBL. Also think that the Bass is waaay better on the JBL than the BLAST or MEGAboom

I think the UE blast looks terrible I like the original style anyone agree?
JXSTAR 45 It looks like they've grown up.
Hirnfaser I bought it and it doesn't sound that much different to the UE boom
JXSTAR 45 grown up design-wise
JXSTAR 45 nah
Why does apple sell these if they're so Alexa ish
because money
I didn’t even know that you could tap the top of the megaboom to pause and skip music and I’ve had mine for a year
Tell us the song you used on the sound test
Yo, stop saying Alexa in your videos man.
Nice Vid.
And another Company fucking themselves, how can you make such a bad Product. UE Boom were the best Speakers on the Market for some time...
megablast not good, no bass for this price....too expensive if you consider soundtuning
Maurice Frank did you adjust the equalizer in the app? By default there’s little bass but that can be changed
Jajajaja jajajaja 😂 😂 😂 😂
