Review:
Not as good as I'd hoped
The Megablast is a well made speaker, but for me it does
have some serious weaknesses; principally, there is no AUX jack input and I'm
not all that impressed with the sound.
The Alexa functionality is also slightly limited at this stage – it
won't access Spotify, for example. I
would expect that to be updated later, although there is no guarantee.
The speaker is very nicely presented and looks great. It is plainly very solidly made and looks
stylish. Pairing with Bluetooth was very
easy and it has a very good range. I
found the Wi-Fi set-up more tricky even when I'd downloaded the app, partly
because of an almost total absence of written instructions. That may just be because I'm a bit of an old
git, but I do have a fair amount of experience in speakers, wi-fi and the
like. The voice controls work well, as
does the limited Alexa function.
The lack of an input jack socket is a big drawback for
me. I still carry a lot of my music on a
Sansa mp3 player and I want to be able to play it through the speaker. No chance – nor can I plug in a CD
player. This may make me a dinosaur, but
a small addition of an AUX socket to make this compatible with a lot of devices
still in use would make the Megablast much more useful to a lot of people.
The sound is pretty good.
It certainly goes very loud without distortion and tops and middles are
good and distinct, but at the normal volumes at which I want to use it I find
the bass a bit weak. I've tested this
with a lot of music in different genres and Things like Hey Now by London
Grammar, Leave A Trace by Chvrches or The National's Sorrow lack that real bass
resonance they really need, and a viola da gamba or the basses in choral
classical music sound rather thin, for example.
In a unit at this price I'd expect better.
For me, this rates about 3.5-stars. At the moment, with no access to Spotify
along with the other reservations I have, I can't round this up to 4. Some other reviewers like it very much, but I
can only give the Megablast a pretty qualified recommendation.
