New smart speakers ue blast and megablast arrive with amazon alexa

Alexa joins Ultimate Ears speakers

The UE Blast and UE Megablast are the latest speakers to add to integrate Alexa, as the Sonos One recently did. They are two larger and more powerful devices compared to their counterparts that only integrate Bluetooth, Boom 2 and Megaboom. The larger of the two is the Megablast and can reach 93 dB, 40% stronger than the Megaboom, but it integrates many other improvements, like the Blast model, such as the inclusion of two 25mm tweeters, among others. news.

Both smart speakers can be connected to a wireless charging base called Power Up . Thanks to this, users will get rid of cables giving a much more elegant and clean appearance. Still, the company claims that the UE Blast lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge, while the UE Megablast goes up to 16 hours of continuous music playback. Also, both can be charged with a normal USB cable without making use of that "elegant" dock.

With a robust and elegant appearance, both have IP67 certification, so you can take them to the beach or the pool without worrying about what may happen to them by holding up spills of drinks, splashes and even up to 30 minutes underwater, what which is a great advantage over the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot.

Connected to a WiFi network, the Blast and Megablast allow you to use Alexa for a variety of tasks such as playing your favorite playlist, ordering food, listening to a summary of the news, calling a friend and a long list of others. You don't need to connect a phone (although you can do it via Bluetooth), just ask Alexa to play music from services like Amazon Music, iHeartRadio and TuneIn, and it will "obey".

Both models will be available in the United States in graphite, white, blue or red colors at a price of $ 229 for the Blast and $ 299 for the Megablast.
