Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4 Portable Waterproof Speaker
Want to upgrade to a bigger (and louder) waterproof speaker? Amazon has the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4 on sale for just $169 — the lowest price we’ve seen yet. The portable speaker boasts an impressive 20 hours of playtime and a range of up to 147 feet, so you can keep the tunes going from all over the house. Its cylindrical design creates 360-degree sound, while the built-in driver delivers big bass even without a subwoofer.
Like the smaller Target speaker above, the BOOM 4 is rated IPX67 for water resistance, meaning it can be submerged in water up to three feet deep for 30 minutes without any damage. The lightweight speaker also floats, so you can take your tunes with you into the water.
Ultimate Ears says the MEGABOOM 4 is virtually indestructible, with a tough housing that keeps out dust, dirt, and debris. It’s also shock- and drop-resistant. The company says the same material is used in motorcycle jackets and firefighting gear as the headphones, meaning they can withstand extreme weather conditions (i.e., they won’t fade in the heat).
This deal gets you the MEGABOOM 4 in blue or black for $169. As with all Amazon deals, prices are subject to change at any time, so we recommend adding the item to your cart before the deal ends. See full details here. You can also buy the Ultimate Ears waterproof speakers on sale at Target.
