Stoped working after first month. Won’t turn on. Gonna return.

Hope manufacturer does something because its outside return date at BB.

Horrible. Stopped working after 2 months. So upset.

I like this speaker so much I wasted time updating my bestbuy password just to write this review. Unbelievable sound quality. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and am still impressed by how great it sounds. Rap, pop, rock, etc. all sound good. But I feel like classical music is the true test - sounded phenomenal as well. I didn't download the app. It was really easy to pair it with my iPhone SE and macbook air. No issues or concerns. Waterproof and dustproof are an added bonus.

I have tried out a bunch of bluetooth speakers over time. As just a speaker this one is pretty good quality. As far as taking the place of my Alexa it is not up to mustard. Get it for a quality portable speaker, and use the Amazon features just as a bonus. The speaker was easy to get started out of the box. Mine also came with a wireless charging pad (great feature to add to the purchase). It connected easy with my phone to play music etc. I had issues getting Alexa up and running at first but that may have been a wifi connection issue. You will be required to use the app for the speaker to connect. The connection is good, and sound quality is good. One thing I noticed with this brand of speaker before (and this one) the volume up/down controls are slow to respond and lead to over-adjusting the volume before it catches up. This is because it's controlling the phone/device volume it's connected to wirelessly and I guess there's a lag. There are only 4 buttons, volume up, down, power, and sync. All self explanatory. The speaker is a little heavy, so while portable, you probably don't want to carry it around. I suggest taking it where you want and sitting in on a table. The charging pad is great. You simply need to replace the screw in hook on the bottom of the speaker with a metal one provided with the base. Then you plug in the base w/ provided cord from the speaker (micro USB). Just sit the speaker on top of the prongs on the base and it charges wirelessly and automatically (also it will turn on automatically, so if you don't want it on you'll have to turn it back off) The only other items to check are the Alexa features. I already have one so if you do too, make sure you keep them in separate rooms. Otherwise they will both play the same thing at the same time when you activate them. The main difference I notice with this speaker Alexa ability vs my original one, is this is a speaker first, so it is connecting to a device to play music from there primarily. When I tried to access online amazon stations it would not do so and would pull from my Google Play phone radio stations instead. This may be an issue with my Amazon music account that doesn't allow additional devices without changing plans. So if you want full function and this is not your only Amazon Alexa device you may have to change your account/plan settings to add a speaker. If this is your only Alexa device then it may work as expected. Size and shape it is about the same as my Amazon Alexa in size/shape and weight. There is no volume spin control, only up/down buttons. Great speaker, okay Alexa, volume adjustments could be a little more responsive.

Going to take back. Product is charged and wont come on .

Nice shape ,but bad sounds and hard to handle. Good price

Worthless device under warranty. Logitech will not replace

Set this speaker up today, and its very nice and loud; the packaging is terrible, and it was a nightmare to get out of the box, but, hey, who buys it for the packaging? Anyways, the Alexa interaction is nice, except for one major thing; you can NOT set it up to be part of a group with other Amazon/Echo devices, which was a big let down..hopefully there will be a firmware update to fix that, as I have sever other echo devices in my house, and its nice to play music and have all of them playing the music at the same time..hope they fix this one so it can be part of my "evverywhere" group!

I was really excited about this speaker, but unfortunately this is the worst bluetooth speaker I've ever used. The sound quality is clean and crisp. Has some bass, but not a lot. The issue seems to be it's ability to keep a connection, and the Alexa support. It's very buggy and needs work. Whenever I have my phone paired to the speaker via Bluetooth, then ask the speaker a question using it's builtin Alexa feature, I hear nothing but hiss and static. When I go back to playing music, the sound will be from my phone only. I have to repair the Bluetooth connection. I have to do this every time I attempt to ask the speaker a question. The Alexa feature doesn't seem to work at all. If I ask it a question, I get 10 seconds of hissing noise. They have an Android app. It appears many people are having issues with their app. The rating for their app is quite low, with numerous complaints. I can't recommend this speaker at the moment. Perhaps an update will address these issues.

My favorite speaker! Can live without it! It’s a nice size portable speaker that you’ll think is a surround sound speaker for the price

This thing had great sounding audio and great battery life. Setup was super easy and the firmware update was quick which is great. The big BUT is that the Alexa feature is hampered by a less sensitive microphone than that of the Echo Dot. The Dot microphone is just much more sensitive and works more reliably. There is also no standard 3.5 mm audio AUX jack. If you don;t care about the two flaws then this is a great but expensive device. If two flaws make you think twice then just get something else.

Loses wifi connectivity all the time. The reason being is that it does not do well with mesh networks. You would have to dedicate a separate 2.4gh network just for it. You ask it to play a song via alexa and it will only play 30 seconds and then stop. All this happened after the last firmware update.

This is one speaker product that vastly improves with just a few hours of normal speaker usage at a middle volume. At first I was ready to return it because it sounded flat with no peaks in the mids and highs. However it really opens just with say 10 hours of usage. It is clear, and has a great hi fidelity sound. I had the previous Megaboom and it is better in every way, not sure how it now compares to Megaboom 3.

very good kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

When I got this it had a attached cover letter to help you get started. Didn't work for me. First, I could not find the Android App in the Play Store. There were other similar Apps but none of them looked like they were applicable. And their reviews were not very good. So I went to my Apple iPad and found a App there. During the setup the speaker itself needed to be set up on my WiFi. I did that and then it failed several times to connect to a update server. I have a limited WiFi connection and this chewed up about 300 Megs and still not a peep out of the speaker. I think this device is way too complicated for the average user.

UE speakers are reliable and can take a beating! The crowd is always surprised how well the speaker holds

Couldn’t live without this amazing speaker. I use it almost everyday and the sound quality is spectacular.

Beware of this speaker. I had this on a "want" list and finally received this late February as a gift. I was happy as I am a devoted lover of music. For me the set up was quite easy. I have a surround sound in my living room and a soundbar in my bedroom so i maybe listened to my UE Blast roughly about 10 (if that) times since I've had it. Recently after giving it a full charge I turned on my speaker and played music, about 20 minutes in, the speaker abruptly shut off. I turned it back on and it proceeded to do the same thing only every time shutting off quicker than the time before. I paired it to another device to make sure it wasn't my phone and i got the same outcome. Contacted tech support they advised me to do a hard reset. I did the reset today 7/31/19 and now my speaker will not stay on. Its cuts on and then right back off. This really bothers me because I rarely played the speaker and this speaker is not cheap for there to just be an unknown issue. And since their warranty is only 30 days , I have to take this as a loss. I will not be purchasing any UE speakers again. I have never experienced this problem from ANY bluetooth speaker.

After about 6 months the Alexa portion of the Ultimate Ears - MEGABLAST stopped functioning properly. Alexa would respond to the wake word only if you were at least 6 inches away and you talked loud. It seemed the microphone sensitivity went down. I called tech support, and after an hour and half or runaround and the "tech" not listening they finally agreed to replace my unit, but they failed to send me the UPS prepaid shipping label. I waited over a week for it to show up in my email, but nothing ever came. I emailed customer support and waited a week and there was no response. I called tech support again, gave them a different email and waited over a week. They again said they would send me out a UPS shipping label, but after a week NOTHING. If you buy this product, I warn that if anything goes mechanically wrong with it, don't expect any resolution from tech support.
