When I first reviewed the UE Megablast a few months ago I didn’t like it at all. It had a whole bunch of missing features, it relied way too much on voice commands, and it just didn’t sound good. The megablast had way too much bass and no mids. But I decided to give the Megablast a second chance. And even though it still has its problems… it actually sounds really good now. So good in fact that I feel its actually up there with the JBL Xtreme 2 with a form factor smaller than the Sony XB41.

The extreme 2 doesn’t look that big in video but in reality i was shock when i saw it, sooo big
I know. I'm getting one in two days
Like nerf blasters.... Look small but irl they are huge
Mega blast sounded like 3rd place all around.
Xb41 was surprisingly loud
Xtreme2 bass is sooo clean, def the one I’m picking up.
Thanks for the comparison
I legit just today picked my xtreme 2 up i love it
JBL fanboy alert
Chummy Plays I also has the xtreme2
@@chumhau6993 me too
@@itszmystic2948tbh, I don't even think that the Xtreme 2 belongs in the class with the other 2.
It surely sound the best with tweeters, but also weights as much as the modest gaming laptop at 2.4kgs.
It's nearly impossible to discern the actual sound of a speaker through a youtube video
Listen on headphones and then yes
@@demonclub7050 impossible. You can never recreate what it sounds like, even with headphones.
@@demonclub7050 nah because the sound is being changed throughout everything. It's being changed through the microphone is being recorded on. Then changed again through the editing software. Then again when you listen to it with whatever you use. Doesn't matter if it's the phone loudspeaker or headphones. Do remember that $10 headphones and $400 headphones will not sound the same.
It’s just to get a general idea of what it sound like
Can't believe your still at 18k subs u really deserve more and great review and keep it up
Xtreme or megablast better ?
Listening to that on my xb41. Love it. However bass slowly fades away when u turn up the volume.
When the XB41 is set to Max volume extra bass mode is turned off and the XB41 starts playing in it's standard EQ setting.
GYMCADDY i know, but i felt like it started losing bass even before. Also for my tastes it's tunning is quite okay. Depends on a person i guess.
Maximilien Moroe when u turn up the mids an highs in the eq with the extra bass turned on and put it on like 5 in the eq the xb41 sounds fucking amazing
Quest4Truth yeah i use eq. I don't mind a little distortion on max volume, cuz u don't get many chances to actually play it that loud. I have bass on 3db+ and mids on 4db+ and highs on 7db+ i think and i like it quite a lot.
Maximilien Moroe i have a xb 40 and i played around with the eq, tuned it sounds clear and punchy and i have a similuar eq. i have bass at 5 mid at 7 and treble on 9,but i also have a eq on apple music. wich is a treble boost and slight mid, and it, is nice. but i have to say it really would need a tweeter even if i boost treble till the sky and unboost bass i still dont feel tinglie enough. but mids aremawasome.
Xtreme 2 foreva
I would pick up the JBL, but I dont like the exposed radiators since my Flip 4's radiators have developed some damage over the months of travelling and everyday abuse, so i'll pick up an XB41.
Cus those are ceramic but the xtreme 2 prs are rubber
Lmao. Imagine picking an xb41 over an Xtreme 2
@@redlineracing4947 JBL Fanboy
@@malakuloushs4265 no, a person who appreciates sound quality & build quality, also the convenience of it be A. Louder B. Better balanced sound & C. Having clearer, more mellow bass. Throw a bottle opener on the strap in & also the speaker being incredibly durable and you finish off with a speaker blatantly better in every way. So I’m not a fan, I made the right choice
@@redlineracing4947 IPX7 vs IP67 on the Sony, which is also drop and scratch resistant. Sony is also salt resistant and is built better than the Xtreme. Sure the XB41 sounds no where near as good as the xtreme 2, but the bass is better and it's louder.
i have A UE megablast and trust me it is the best Bluetooth speaker out there for being this size
Bro please suggest me JBL charge 5 vs ue megaboom 3 which one I will go for purchase please suggest me right one big brother
gymcaddy you should really invest into a binaural microphone, it'll make the sound much more realistic
For the size the Megablast did a good job
Wen Bruining not really
It has no deep bass
@@jblbasstester6198 jajajaja jajaja 😂 🤣
i dont pay attention to review videos often, but this really helped me get a solid perspective on the trade-offs and what i want out of a speaker, thanks!
You immediately notice the difference between the megablast vs the jb, or sony
Just ordered a megablast. One reason I liked it was cause small footprint indoors plus it's sleek look. I do listen to them outside sometimes so may be a drawback but if your walking around multiple areas then a directional can have flaws also. We see what happens . I picked up a refurb megablast for $79. So def cheap enough
JBL Xtreme 2 all the way!!!
I think the Xtremes overall sound the best
I have the mega blast and it sound good outside and in
The other speakers sounded hollow compared to the jbl, did you hear that too?
Yea I use the megablast outside like everyday and it's very loud to me on my bike but the battery really only last like 3-4 hours
Thank you it was worth the wait 👍🏽👏🏽
glad you liked it, this was one of the easiest videos to make, it just wrote itself.
you make great videos. thank you.
the first JBL Xtreme beat the crap out of all of them.
Ikr Xtreme is so much better than Xtreme 2
This review is biased. How could this review be fair to the EU Megablast? I just tested both (with the Xtreme 2) and they sounded both almost as good and loud, the Xtreme 2 having cleaner bass (apologies, it was a Megaboom not even a Megablast). The MB is the best allrounder - better battery life, better protection (against water, dust and shocks), better portability (is a lot more portable than the other two) and the most improved via updates. All these missing features will be addressed and the other ones don't necessarily have them either. The sound is not real 360° but the others are front shooters as well. Not a fair review, period. I have a EU Megablast - it's a blast!
What? I just tested the in store unit of the Megaboom 3, but I don't know of it's the sample tracks that they play, but it honestly sounded horrid compared to the Sony and JBL offering
@@chrischoy9 maybe but not my experience. You should check the MB
@@tiagov.mendes4422 I tried it again, but didn't managed to get it paired to a personal device, but what I am noticing in the sound tracks is the compression and lacking of detail?
@@chrischoy9 yes, I see, you have to pair it first by pushing the smaller LED. My advice, get a barely used Megablast from Amazon. You'll be very happy with it.
jbl still sounds best balanced and best bass
FreeMixeS Not really jbls Bass is more Controlled
I've had the Sony xb40 and jbl xtreme, Sony's bass almost didn't exist while jbl's bass was good but frequencies where bad, I dropped each accedently and the sony,s speaker mount broke while the jbl held together, but as of now jbl destroyed Sony. 😁
And my favorite part is the exposed bass radiators!!!!!!!!!
FreeMixeS 7:02 Come again dude.
Oh your right the xtremes's sound is real sounding compared than the Sony's sound
Lol recessed charge port on UE? Not after a i take a dremel to the port.
Haha made me laugh out loud
Best. Comment. Ever.
The UE sounded the most real to me, the other two had to much mid range and sounded like they were inside a pipe
Tf ue is the worst speaker
MetroIsHere YT matter of opinion right? It sounded best to me. But here is the kicker. Were listening through a mic on different devices. So the others might sound better on your device. I own a ue boom2, and a sony xb30. One for work and one for home. The sony has more bass but doesnt sound as clear. The ue has less bass but has more tweeter. Id rather have ok bass but really good tweeter for the type of music i listen to. Thats why i like ue.
Danimal 86 actually The Xtreme is best because it Most balanced even if you measure it
DerTechnikKanal im talking about through this video. It sounded best through the mic to me
Danimal 86 yea thats your opinion
Xtreme is obviously the best one
Indoor
@@AlexeMazzz and outdoor
I've got the xtreme 2 and the charge 4 and it's true it's easy to connect them but their connecting to each other the most time fast but sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries... But I'm still happy because I'm not using it often and the sound quality is great
I don't understand why the Megablast always gets put into the same class, i'm guessing its because of price even thought the speaker is significantly smaller than the rest
It's a shame UE didn't make a new boombox (the one with the handle) ...... It has the best sound from a portable speaker I've heard but, the battery lets it down.
A Sony lover for decades. I loved the XB 41 with due respect to the JBL. The bass on the Sony is just so cool.
2:00 yeah I get what you're saying about the UE charging port. It sucks. I have the UE Roll and I absolutely love it but one time I was on a road trip and had limited space so I only brought one Mico-usb charging cable that happened to be the cord to charge my powerbank. When the time . came to charge the speaker the cable would not fit because it requires a cable with a curve in it. Really ticked my off.
so the megablast is better than charge 4 right
Take notice that only with the online upgraded firmware can the JBL Xtreme 2 minimally increase its sound quality from its original settings. As far as outside loudness, it’s clear that the Sony XB 41 still wins the loudness battle between its competitors, (it’s already been proven on other channels). But, if you want to get a JBL Extreme and plan on using it outside a lot, still the JBL Xtreme 1 is a better outside choice to go with than that of the Xtreme 2, even with its minimal upgrades. Still, for the price, the JBL Xtreme 1 is the better choice to go with over all.
whats the program he uses to measure the sound?
which one shall i go for ue boom 3 or xb-41 im confused
Considering that the Xtreme 2 and xb41 are both much above $200, I'm leaning towards the megablast/revolve. Anymore speakers I should consider upto $200?
dockin d fine+
Or harman kardon Onyx Studio 5
1000x better that UE Megablast, even better than the Xtreme
@@jblbasstester6198 I have megablast and my friend has onyx studio 5. Onyx studio 5 has better sound quality indoors but it is INFERIOR speaker outdoors. Its not loud at all.
Hum....Megablast or Xtreme 3 ?
Nice review
great video, very helpful
Between the Jbl Xtreme 2 and the sony XB41 which would be better, for indoor and outdoor, which offers better sound quality and better bass?
Omar Royert xtreme has better sound overall yet sony has greater bass
ERROR NOT but Sonys Bass is Not as Controlled but still good
Sony
I don't know but when i heard them at the store side by side the UE Megablast is the Loudest..
Maybe it was updated firmware
I personally like jbl's charger because it can't bend and break
Jbl speakers remain my favorites...
The ue does not sound close to the xtreme 2 no way my dude
Simulator Guy True
True, it has no punch at all and even the treble on the megablast isn’t that smooth.
Ue megablast is still louder.
@@nicemax9310 go to 6:52 and listen again with headphones....
@@svenexplay Ue has equalizer too. Think about ue doing all drivers and radiators up on front like jbl and sony, that would be so killer but its nice that ue is different and thats why I like them. It may not sound loudest from close range but in real life outdoor use the ue spreads out the music much better because all elements are on sides, separated. Such a blame that Jbl and sony got everything in front😂😂 I cant even understand why should I buy a speaker with every elements in front, ue kinda got 360° sound for me. With long range you hear the music good everywhere, say that with jbl and sony and I will laugh at you.
Xtreme 2 is the best but xb41 is still great since it's considerably cheaper.
On my mega boom if you tap the top twice it will change the sound. Does the mega blast not do that
How do you turn off the lights for the woofer of the Sony XB41?
Xb41 can be further tuned like increase base and mids n highs then it's really humming.. ive tuned mine and theres nothing better
Is the red jbl speaker you paired a charge 3 or 4?
Charge 3
Hei bro
Should I buy now a flip 4 or is it too late because 5 is on its way?
Do you know if they have a release date or something for flip 5?
Sarariu Costin The Flip 5 is Not on its way if i remember right The Charge 4 will be next but maybe The Flip 5 will Come with it
OMG yuuuuuus I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
charge 4 is out and available in october for 180€
Flip 5... CES 2019 event on January 2019
Denmark Doctolero yes
which one should i buy !!!!?
Xtreme 2
Please make a video , between Bose s1 pro and Jbl boombox .
The new megablast cost 320 almost 400 hundred dollars with tax . The new one call megablast + power up is fucking loud and last for ever
I like Sony
Whenever i encounter JBLs, to me it sounds like the tweeters are on the bottom pointing downward and highs sound muffled. My friend has an xtreme and it only sounds good hanging from the strap on a tree limb or something. The UE isn't loud at all, not even louder than the next size down Charge and sb31. Overall i prefer the sony sound front firing rather than 360 ish sound of other two
please help.. what speaker is louder ie megablast or jbl boombox?
Jbl boombox hands down
or jbl boombox vs two ue megablast?
@@elcr1990 Thats tough one.2 UE Megablast would be louder but i still think the JBL boombox would beat them both in bass and sound quality.The Kicker Bullfrog BF400 aint bad either.
UE megablast comes with the charging dock for only $279.99 from tmobile. That's where i got mines from.
lopezdad30 i‘m sorry that you bought a bad speaker for a high price...
It has no deep bass
@@jblbasstester6198 dein Name verrät schon alles 😂
I love the Megablast
I have to bring the speaker directly to my mouth for Alexa to hear me. Have you found this to be the case too? Maybe my unit has mic issues
@@pompidoutrout Hm yes.Thats my problem too.But i dont use alexa very much.but the problem is still there
@@pompidoutrout mine works fine. Just got an Amazon renewed
@@pompidoutrout I dont use alexa but I can tell it to do stuff from the other side of the room.
Bro please suggest if there is comparison between ue megaboom 3 vs JBL charge 5 which one I need to buy please suggest me right one because I am going to purchase brother
megablast sounds bad
xb41 is scuffed at high volume
xtreme 2 has decent volume
Now Sony xb41 is 100-120$
JBL X2 is 250-300$
UE MB is 150-170$
In my country
Bought an xb41 on sale for $150 and wasn’t impressed. It was an okay speaker but not very loud infact not any louder than my charge 3. The bass wasn’t that great either. I returned it and got an Xtreme 2 on sale for $250 and it’s amazing 👍🏼
Devin this isn’t right. The xb41 is louder and has more bass than a charge 3. And there are also not many differences to the xtreme 2. The xtreme 2 has better highs than the sony. If you turn xb on and turn the bass up at the eq settings the sony has a little bit better bass at lower volumes but at 100% volume the xtreme 2 and xb41 has pretty similar bass. Also the sony is 1-2 db louder than the xtreme 2 but this is not a huge difference. The sony is cheaper too. The sony and the jbl are having good and bad sides but they are both nice speakers. Im sorry if there are any stupid grammar mistakes in the text but I am just learning english and its not my main language.
😂🤣Your hearing is that awful. I advise hearing aid
Xb41 is the loudest done
maybe it's me but the Sony sounds the best, then the Xtreme 2. UE sucks :(
xb41 might be the loudest, but sounds tinny. For me, no chance against the xtreme2. Megablast just suffers under design quality, but sounds good - still no chance compared to the xtreme 2
Any reason, other than price, to NOT go with the Xtreme 2?
Josh Fish no if you have The Money Look For good Deals and get it i got Mine For 279€ and it’s was better than The old one
Size, weight, battery life and design.
Max`s Account Name A speaker that Sounds as good but is better in what you named ?
@@TechnikToni-Overtribe Ue megablast.. A lot louder, about as clear sound but the bass lacks, much better for outdoor use. Xtreme 2 more of a indoor speaker
Max`s Account Xtreme 2 is louder than Megablast After the update 😂😂
Funny part heard Sony and ue at the shop and xtreme to my ears was destroying both of them easily...sony it has a bass that its alright but anything else sounded thin...UE is fine and that's what they are fine (I do own one)
AdultGamer yeah jbl xtreme 2 is also bigger and more expencive than both of those. so It's kind of expected that it eill perform the best. Athough I think the megaboom and mgablast should be comapred to jbl Charge speakers instead as they are closer in terms of price and size
someone didn't read the instructions... you have a "magic button" on the megablast that allows you to change the song pause and play on the speeker
No you don't lol
I prefere the ue megablast because it's small and 360° sound
Ua reviews are biased...u always go with jbl anyways..
I mean it's his ears the sound that he hears can be different to the sound I hear, and if you aren't use to using or doing something different. You will probably prefer what you are use to
Worth it picking up the megablast for 150€ or the jbl extreme 2 for 250€
The extreme looks small!!
Sony win
you personally hate the megablast.
In my country the xtreme 2 is cheaper than the xb41
Can’t you tap the top to pause, play and double tap to next like the ole UE speakers??
Xb41 best one for the size and its gets louder then the xtreme
It has a broken cross on it, next!
i have a sony xb41 is it worth to buy a other 41 or a xb31 what is smart to do?
Sell the xb 41 and get the xtreme 2 or even 2 Xtreme 2
Sir who has best super bass?
Xb41 for sure. I tested them all in the store for at least 1 hour it won easy so I bought 😁
well maybe but sonys bass is an uncontrolled mess at max volume while jbl is clean
@@TechnikToni-Overtribe true(it's not horrible). However since the Sony is louder don't got to Max. 80% is very clean n loud .
nope its here in the comments that xtreme 2 is louder
@@TechnikToni-Overtribe sir i brought jbl extreme 1 for 129 dollars... Its nice deal? Its brand new not refurbished
Sony always sounds clearer to me. The others always sound like they’re in a hall.
I thought same thing cuz they designed to be 360, although vid says xtreme is front firing. The light up jbl one sounded like garbage to me but he liked it so *shrug*. I picked sony. Mine got better after playing and wearing in but reverts if not used for awhile.
Mike Chin - Interesting it needs to kinda wear back in after a long break. I’ll keep an eye/ear out for this when I get a higher xb like this one. Now just rocking a little XB10, but loving its bass over my JBL GO 2.
Which one is the loudest one?
Hmm... Megablast almost as good as the Xtreme 2?? nah, the Sony Xb30 sounds even better with Clavinetjunkies’s Eq settings, it really sounds better with more punch and pretty decent treble altough you need to sit exacly on axis with the Xb30. Liked the review a lot though thanks!
not quit right the xb30 with oluvs tuning sounds better than the charge 3 but not the xtreme 2
DerTechnikKanal That’s not what i’m saying. I mean that the Xb30 sounds better than the Megablast. The xb30 for sure doesn’t sound better than the X2 as i have both and the X2 is just incredible for it’s size.
DOODGESLAGENMUG oh ok than i understood that wrong
DerTechnikKanal no problem 😃
Max`s Account little sound? Whahahah sounds more like the UE Megablast wich sounds thin and harsh and is just garbage for the price. The X2 is still as loud if not even louder with nice punch even at maximum. A Sony xb30 beats that piece of junk for half the price.
You can afford those speakers but cant afford decent microphone
What's wrong with his mic?
Here is a JBL Xtreme 2 life hack:
Hold the minus and Bluetooth button until u hear a sound change and that is a base boost and volume boost.If u plug your Xtreme 2 in while charging and put it 100% volume it goes louder too. Your welcome for that life hack👍🏽
@@reneweiss9522 yeah its called low frequency mode, it just cuts all the limits for bass and everything so it sounds more distorted at high volumes but theres way more bass
@@Raul-yd8yg will this blow the radiators though?
@@jamespunter4593 no, the radiators are really hard to break. I would worry more about the actual drivers and the stress that they go through at max volume on low frecuency mode.
@@Raul-yd8yg K thanks, so would I be ok pumping out drum and bass then?
@@jamespunter4593 yeah as long as you don´t use it like that 100% of the time. you wouldn´t want to anyways because at full volume it sounds like an earrape version of the song.
JBL has moving parts on the external. Eweee.
Xtreme 2 should be the speaker of the year
Aron DaPro nah, Boombox the best. But that price...
SpeedManiac but the boombox is a 2017 speaker
well, yeah, but its still better than Xtreme/Xtreme2 in every way (except price and weight).
For the size an price ion outback 2 dogs on jbl boom box . Only 150 at sams club.
nick p what..?
The jbl xtreme 2 is better because it's more big than megablast and xb41
XB41 is big than Xtreme 2, and loud, XB41 THE BEST 😍
Jbl big, sony small. Sony cheap also. Sony good👌🏽
Do a bass test ue megablast vs jbl
jbl wins easy
Megablast doesnt even have bass
@@jblbasstester6198 it has but only til 200Hz
DerTechnikKanal is mir schon klar aber dass ist einfach kein richtiger schöner bass.
Einfach nur übertrieben gesagt
@@jblbasstester6198 ja ich weis war ja nur spaß ich hasse Ue wie die pest die eltern meiner Freundin haben eine Megaboom die lief mal draußen auf max erst dachte ich ganz ok mit dem "kick" bis ich meine xtreme 2 angemacht hab dann wusste ich wieder warum ich Ue hasse einfach nur höhen geboostet bis zu get no um laut zu sein dazu der oberbass und das wars
0:32 jesus speaker 😆 and I returnef it, so bad for its price!
I've heard them all in person. The Sony sounds far better than the other 2. The sony, has way more clarity, and the bass is nice. I don't know what this dude is talking about. But if your going to spend that kindve money, just get a libratone zipp. Actual HIFI speaker with better sound than any of these. The quality or craftsmanship and sound quality is obvious right out of the box.
Bose soundlink flex way much better sound. .
Soy el único que habla español y creo que el puesto 1 es del jbl xtrem 2 y luego el Sony srs xb41 y por último el megablast.
No se cual comprar si el ue megablast o Sony xb41
Sony xb41!!!!!
MetroIsHere YT I think the xtreme 2, thh, I have 2 xb40's, and I think even they sound better than the 41's...
Josh Fish yea Xtreme 2 is The best althought maybe Not The loudest The ue is missing mids with to much Upper Bass as typical for ue and The Sony has no highs and that can be adjusted with The eq but it doesn‘t help much and it still can‘t keep up with The Xtreme
Yeah I had the xb40 and didn't like the bass, too weak, and if the xb40 is better than the xb41 then I wouldn't buy sony
And I have the xtreme and the xtreme 2
What?!? The bass on the xb 40 is weak...i have one for 1 year and its one of the best speakers quality/price!
oh that megablast doesn't sound that good. very flat and muffled. the XB-41 sounds amazing though! I think the jbl sounds better thought because of its wider range.
U have get ur ass into the eq an turn the mids and highs up on the Sony!
he said it does no really help because of missing tweeters
The Megablast connects to -150 speakers wirelessly .... the most out of any speaker
adrian mendez and what so good about that lol. Are you going to buy 150 speaker and pair it?
john tran yes I will buy 150 speakers one day, and I have no problem spending $300 on a speaker that sounds way better than a jbl. Fact is I’ve owned multiple jbl speakers and now I switched to UE for their signature 360 sound and loudness with ruggedness.
adrian mendez 150 speaker is 45k usd lol. Hahah show me. $300 each x 150 lolz. That option paring up to 150 is useless. UE is a better speaker i agree but dont exaggerates and say 150 pairing lolz.
If you ever buy 150 speaker to pair it up. Make sure to buy it in less than 2 years 😆. Every time a new bluetooth speaker comes out a newer firmware too. Cant keep connecting to the same one lol. Like how the onyx studio 3 cant pair with onyx studio 4. But studio 4 can do 100 connect synx or with jbl mix in with it.
Haha i know what u mean bro. I own jbl xtreme and ue megablast and onyx studio 4 at the moment. I take the ue megablast with me when i head out but when im at home i listen to the studio 4. I was just trolling when you said 150. Lol. That option is really useless. Why would you buy 150 of them to pair it up... hahah. Get my point?
For the size the ue megablast it's the best
Which has the best bass?
Kevin Wevers the 41
Quest4Truth Thanks!
Don't think so the ue has improved greatly
NeRdY gEeK The bass also?
Kevin Wevers no if you use headphones you can Hear that JBL and Sony have more Bass than ue the ue just has a stupid Upper Bass boost and The JBLs Bass is The best Overall cause it’s more Controlled than Sonys Bass
