When connected to Wi-Fi, music fans in the US, UK, Germany and
Austria can use the power of their voice to ask Alexa to control
music from Amazon Music, iHeartRadio and TuneIn, and we expect to
add voice control for Pandora and Deezer in the future. With
Bluetooth, you can enjoy music from any of your favorite music
services.
As Ultimate Ears’ loudest, most powerful and best sounding
speaker to date, MEGABLAST is meticulously engineered from the
ground up with custom drivers that produce a full and crisp sound.
The result is a speaker with more powerful mid-range, deeper bass,
vocals and instruments that are produced clearer than ever before
in our highly portable, battery-powered speakers. With a maximum
sound pressure level of 93 dBC, MEGABLAST is the loudest speaker
from Ultimate Ears and is 40 percent louder than Ultimate Ears
MEGABOOM.
“With BLAST and MEGABLAST, we brought together everything that
our fans loved about our Bluetooth speakers -- amazing sound
quality, waterproof, ready-for-anything design -- and upped the
ante with Wi-Fi and far-field voice recognition with Amazon Alexa,”
said Charlotte Johs, general manager of Ultimate Ears. “And with a
battery life of up to 12 hours for BLAST and 16 hours for
MEGABLAST, you can take these portable speakers everywhere and
enjoy great sound all day.”
Today Ultimate Ears also announced Ultimate Ears POWER UP, a
sleek charging dock that makes charging easier and more seamless
for BLAST and MEGABLAST. With POWER UP, say goodbye to messy wires
and keep the music playing while charging.
You can now take your music and Alexa anywhere your BLAST and
MEGABLAST can go, from party to pool to park. When connected to
Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot, just ask Alexa to play music, order
pizza, control smart home devices or try any of the more than
25,000 skills available for Alexa.
“Alexa should go everywhere you want to go, and the BLAST and
MEGABLAST speakers make that even easier,” said Steve Rabuchin,
vice president, Amazon Alexa. “We’re excited that these devices
will bring great-sounding music, durability, portability and
hands-free access to Alexa to more customers, even outside of their
homes.”
Other features from BLAST and MEGABLAST include:
Music never stops: When connected to Wi-Fi, you can take
calls on your phone while the music continues to play uninterrupted
on the speakers. And with hands-free voice control, anyone can play
DJ -- just ask Alexa to play a song, turn up the volume or cue your
favorite playlist. BLAST and MEGABLAST also give you the ability to
stream music from the cloud, and a bigger range to roam and dance
with a range of 330 feet on Wi-Fi. Both speakers have a Bluetooth
range of 150 feet.
Seriously waterproof and long-lasting battery life: Both
BLAST and MEGABLAST are IP67 rated, so they are dustproof,
waterproof and can be immersed in up to three feet of water for up
to 30 minutes. Keep the party going with a battery life of up to 12
hours for BLAST and up to 16 hours for MEGABLAST.
Smarter over time: Featuring a new Ultimate Ears app,
BLAST and MEGABLAST get smarter and better over time. Using the
app, you can update the speakers for new experiences and features
as they become available.
Subtle yet stunning colors for every style: A twist on
classic saturated primary hues, BLAST and MEGABLAST are available
in six colors: Graphite (Black), Blizzard (White), Blue Steel,
Merlot (Red), Mojito (Green) and Lemonade (Yellow). Color
availability varies by country.
