"I bought a UE mega boom about 7ish years ago and it’s seen some things. ... Used at almost full volume every day in a body shop 5 days a week for 2 of those years. ... Been left out in the rain, dropped, dust covered. Still going strong."
"Yesss I’ve had my first one for 10 years, second for 7ish, and they’re stellar. ... I’m 10 and 7 years on my two booms respectively"
"I've literally thrown it down 2 floors and it survived"

burzlkek 1.0I have the UE Megaboom 3 and the JBL Flip 6. I prefer the sound and bass of the JBL. Really impressive for its size.
Far_Rub4250 1.0Well I have a UE Megaboom 3 that im in the process of replacing one driver due to my over curiosity but its been the best sounding and most rugged bluetooth portable speaker ive had a nd i love the app with remote power on/off. Pricewise I recommend the Walmart ONN. Rugged Large Portable Bluetooth speaker for under $100 Canadian.
hankhillsucks 1.0Most of them still have aux input surprisingly But it really depends on your devices. I have no problems with my ultimate ear megaboom 3
IrwinMFletcher200 1.0Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 Much better than most listed here, esp the JBL flip. Huge upgrade without a significant jump in cost.
Jefffahfffah 1.0UE megaboom 3 is all I need for a portable speaker. Durable, sounds alright, decent battery life. For headphones my Sennheiser HD1 have been treating me right for years.
vtwin996 1.0My mega boom 3 is working well. Now the sound it makes isn't up to snuff compared to the competition.
zAuspiciousApricot 1.0MegaBoom 3 or 4 should do the trick.
AnxiousHippoplatypus 0.4Ultimate Ears megaboom rocks. Have and one for nearly 10 years and still punches bass and had great battery and water proofing.
Audiophile_Frog 0.4I can't comment on the Hyperboom as I've never heard one. However, I have heard various generations of the Boom and Megaboom and I can tell you that these definitely don't sound good at all.

averagejoe538 0.4For the ~$200 price range I’d look at the UE MEGABOOM. Really enjoy mine.
