Our Verdict

Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM

Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4

The Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM and Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4 are both very portable speakers with the same IP67 and are advertised as impact-resistant, although the EVERBOOM is a touch heavier and a bit more squat. It also has slightly better controls, NFC pairing, a carabiner for hooking it to your bag, and an 'Outdoor' mode, which is absent on the MEGABOOM 4. That said, despite being smaller, the MEGABOOM 4 is only a bit quieter at max and has a greater high-frequency extension, though both favor signature boominess over clarity and detail.
