I like the colors of the Boom 2 better than the original. It has a decent heft to it and looks and feels well made.

Ignore the completion from the likes of Bose, beats, JBL etc. Requiring the app to parry up may look cool with the dots and all, but functions 10x better and consistently on the cheaper wonderboom models (which sadly are limited to 2 max otherwise I'd just buy 8 of them). EQ, nice to have but I'll trade it any day for rock solid audio with no cutouts. If I need to physically get up and walk over to turn one on/off or adjust the volume so be it. The app looks nice and all but at the end of the day all I'm looking for is a high quality stable connection between multiple speakers. It shouldn't be an iterative process to successfully get 3 speakers partied up and by no means should any have audio cutting out while sitting next to one another fully charged playing music (5G WiFi, downloaded tracks, whatever, there's a codec issue here). Audio quality and connection should be paramount over all of the other convenience features. Spotty Audio Connections on Party Up, App is Style Over SubstanceĬart before the horse here on execution. Otherwise, if it is in the budget, get a pair of PSB, ELAC or Klipsch active speakers if you do not necessarily need portability. Spend you money JBL if you want to connect via cable. This should be considered an absolute embarrassment for a company such as this. AND burn the draft boards it was written on. RECOMMENDATION: Burn this disaster of an attempt at a bluetooth app. Yes, my bluetooth function works because I writing this message with my Logitech K760 Solar Keyboard via bluetooth. This is worse than the KEF LSX attempt at a bluetooth app. The software, once downloaded onto my iPhone, never shows the MegaBoom in the bluetooth window. I tried to return the speaker but it was beyond the return date. Also, it will no longer connect via bluetooth to my MacBook Pro. ![]() ![]() It is bad enough that there is no way to extinguish that obnoxious sound that it makes when turning on or off and no AUX jack/port on the UE Megaboom to connect directly but this is putting rock salt into a gunshot wound £ stitching it closed. It is unfathomable that Logitech is associated with this nonsense. It’s too bad one cannot give negative stars! Everyone involved in developing this worthless drivel need to be given Pink Slips £ escorted to the exit immediately.
