I've been rocking the UE Boom since Christmas. I really like it, but its battery doesn't last near as long as advertised. Its supposed to play for 15 hours, but I'm lucky to get 3 at 80 percent volume. Other than that, I don't have any complaints. The bass isn't the greatest (as I expected), but it does improve if you place it next to a wall, and its pretty loud while remaining pretty clear. I talked to a lifeguard who had the Mega Boom on his chair (I would've chosen the Mega Boom myself, but it hadn't been released yet), and he said he gets about 10 hours at a decent volume, so if battery life is an issue that may be something to consider. The Boom retails for about 200 bucks and the Mega Boom for about 300.
