While summer may be halfway over, the fun and beats don’t have to stop. Ultimate Ears announced new updates for MEGABLAST and BLAST portable speakers to help them get smarter and better over time. You can find them both at Best Buy. Just take a look at the updates that will be sure to keep your ears happy and fun times rolling on:

- Enhanced controls on the Ultimate Ears app: You can now control volume remotely from the app, which is especially useful if you have your music cranked up loud and want to use Alexa. You can also check battery status in two ways – either through the app, or right from the speaker by pressing the “+/-” volume buttons simultaneously. Starting in May, you can personalize your sound for any artist or music genre with the custom equalizer (EQ).
- Voice control on Spotify and more (coming soon): Just ask “Alexa, play my Discover Weekly” or any music from Spotify on MEGABLAST and BLAST. Spotify will soon join other Amazon Alexa supported music services such as Amazon Music, Deezer and TuneIn globally; and Pandora, iHeartRadio and SiriusXM in the U.S. — use your voice to control music from these streaming services over Wi-Fi. On Bluetooth, you can enjoy music from any of your favorite music services.
- New grouping experience for smart speakers (coming soon): You can group up to eight MEGABLAST and BLAST speakers on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Stereo mode is supported when you connect two MEGABLAST or BLAST speakers. Optimized to take advantage of the speakers’ built-in Wi-Fi capability, you will experience greater range for grouped speakers and improved connection reliability. Grouping is expected to be available later this year.
Which one do you think you would like to buy? These portable speakers are great to take out on the soccer sidelines or during a tournament so that we can have some tunes while we wait for the next game to start. Can you imagine if all the families brought their own speaker and you grouped them together for the ultimate fangating surround sound experience??!! Head to Best Buy and pick one out.
