The Megaboom is a great addition to UE’s family of wireless speakers. Strings and woodwind instruments rise and fall as the tune flows along. Sooth your senses with a few excerpts from Swan Lake and the UE’s happy to slow the pace, and let its excellent dynamics take over. Playing a spot of classical music proves the Megaboom has a more subtle, delicate side too. Music is well balanced, even if the very high-end isn’t the ultimate in refinement. It’s an enthusiastic listen, bristling with life. There’s solidity and precision through the bass, the midrange and treble. Even with this great expanse of sound, the UE still manages to keep its composure and focus. The Megaboom’s ability to disperse sound really stands out too, and you’re able to enjoy a decent spread from various positions. The track’s bassline sounds weighty and taut (but never megaboomy, happily) and the speaker never skips a beat. Start with some classic hip-hop - Grandmaster Flash’s White Lines does the trick - and the UE’s punchy, energetic delivery comes straight to the fore.
