The Megablast is the biggest and best-sounding portable speaker that Ultimate Ears makes. It’s also its most expensive. When it was released in early 2018, the speaker was selling for $300 but the company has since dropped the price to $250. Today, you can get the Megablast for another $50 off, which is a pretty awesome deal for anybody looking for a loud portable speaker for summer.
The Megblast is a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled speaker, and it works with Alexa voice commands. This means that when using the speaker at home, it can essentially work exactly like an Amazon Echo; You can play jeopardy with Alexa, ask it about the weather or tell it to play a certain song on Spotify. Then when you want to take the Megblast somewhere else, like to the beach or the park, it works exactly like any other portable Bluetooth speaker.
You can buy Megablast for $200 right now in various colors on eBay and Walmart’s website.
