Now that Megaboom is unfortunately just as overpriced as already the smaller predecessor model, it does have a lot to offer each feature, sound but disappointed so much that I really wonder whether that can be really serious.
The partial rings hollow to really create with prominent upper bass without pressure, it sounds resonate as if in the can yet another speaker packaged, the upper mids are quite strongly raised to fool presence but upper levels are virtually non-existent, it sounds dull and overcast, especially if they are not exactly the side turns to be, so a single chassis spotlighting a, otherwise it sounds like a musty box, as if to play elsewhere, to the rear of the speaker, or just to the side of 360 ° sound no track, because the sound is simply too much affected if it is not optimally aligned, I'd rather lose surround sound.
According to she can, but at the top catches already somewhat hard to sound distortions keep Although limited, only certain titles tend to scratch a little help, but the bass is then too greatly reduced, so that it's no fun untwist really , A Beats Pill XL, so little I like their sound, the UE Megaboom in the shadows, and volume terms can not really keep up the Megaboom because the Pill XL then still produces significantly more pressure and can actually play bass guitar, while at the Megaboom it is more reminiscent of a roar, a House Kick sounds more like a knock against a wooden door. At maximum volume then fades the battery yet surprisingly quick and of the promised 20 hours, after less than 3:30 hours is closing, while the Pill XL loose twice creates.
The design is minimalist but very well elegant remained almost exactly the same as its predecessor, the Mega Boom is just bigger, but the proportions, in that they do not even weighs 1kg, it is still easy to transport, while many similar competing models but then are much more difficult ,
Toll course the App connectivity, where you then also has access to an EQ, this is, however hopeless, as the lowest band only to 150Hz goes down, while the highest stops at 8kHz, really sensitively can rausholen or improve anything there, and the "Bass Boost" preset makes the sound only dull, instead of actually raising the deeper bass range. The annoying drumming on power, pairs, etc. can also be switched off via App Thankfully, in addition you can couple the app a second Megaboom a Stereoduo, but why would anyone want to spend 600 for it if it sounds like a kitchen radio, because you can also a real stereo reproduction not change anything. I would take a Megaboom prefer another 50 drauflegen and bring me equal a B & O BeoPlay A2 because there really comes out 360 ° sound, which really impressed. To less than half plays a much smaller JBL Charge 2 the Megaboom on the wall, although it of course quite as can not play loud. An even smaller Denon Envaya Mini, the cost not even 1/3, sounds much more pleasant and neutral and plays the bass even deeper, but is not so artificially inflated. Even a Bose SoundLink Mini, hated by many, sounds against Megaboom as a hi-fi system.
Had the Megaboom not overpriced so hopeless, or the sound would not be next to such a hopeless, I would certainly have forgiven more stars, but so Logitech has just yet rework something for the Mega Boom is to be taken seriously.
To make noise and annoy neighbors certainly useful, but you can listen to music that's not!
