Review on Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM Panther - 984-001220 - (Renewed) by Amanda Wohltmann

UPDATE FROM 03/27/2020: Doesn't load anymore. Waste of money, 2 out of 5 speakers no longer work. I WANT A RETURN! The first one I got from BestBuy is brand new. No issues except after 4 months (two to three hours per week) of use the battery life is at best 80% compared to when new. For me, this is a rapid decrease in battery life. Maybe I'm wrong and after the bad experiences I'm condemning other purchased devices. I then went for the "updated" version because of the price and the fact that I had my doubts about the battery life at the time. These were also ordered in anthracite to match the first. It took about 1 month to pair it with the first one via the Megaboom app to have the "stereo" mode and it was amazing! Then mixed feelings. The first "updated" was with one of the outer layers of plastic. Deducted as this is a refurbished product I didn't pay much attention as I was in love with the sound quality of a pair of speakers connected to stereo. Because of the good sound (good mids, clear voices, high frequencies. good bass is not yet deep enough, but quite decent, mainly because it does not distort at high volume), so I decided to buy two more and use them 4 to use At the same time as I was waiting to enjoy them in stereo at low-medium volume, I ordered the 5th a week ago and before they arrived as a gift for a friend. boomers The third came out of very dirty worn plastic no matter what it is the only one, the "QC PASS" sticker I think refers to "quality control". After a week of use, the main plastic layer came off significantly. Not to mention I don't trust "waterproof". Blue turned out to be in a more acceptable form. The Last Coal appeared as a survivor of a children's mess experimenting with glue. There were fingerprints and something like grease, something not very nice to see. The latter, also blue, was also clean. Battery life compared to everyone else on a full charge is less than the older one, no matter what the latest. So not happy. And finally, I assumed it was a feature that I would know for sure with more research, but now I've convinced you that you can set up 5 or more (I understand you can stream to 150 at the same time ). ), but only two of them are in stereo. So my goal of having 4 in stereo was not achieved. Sad.
