Ultimate Ears' Megablast speaker, by all accounts, sounds great. It's pricey, though, at an MSRP of $299.99. Back in April, we saw it going for $190, which was its lowest-ever price up to that point. Right now, it's even cheaper than that: just $175 on Amazon.
Read More[Update: Statement] The latest Ultimate Ears BOOM app update removes Alexa and other features, and people are pissed
Ultimate Ears makes good speakers, but it's not so good at the software end of things. It was stated in the BOOM 3 announcement yesterday that a redesigned app was on the way, and it looks like it's already here. However, it removes a ton of features, and the new look is rubbing people the wrong way. Needless to say, BOOM owners are not happy.
Read MoreUltimate Ears announces $150 BOOM 3 and $200 MEGABOOM 3 Bluetooth speakers with new 'Magic Button'
Ultimate Ears' BOOM speakers have always been their bread and butter. The company introduced the BLAST line earlier this year, though it hasn't been particularly successful. A 4-month old speaker that launched at $230 shouldn't be selling for $65, but I digress. UE is going back to basics with the BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3, which are priced at $149.99 and $199.99, respectively.

Logitech seems to be having some trouble moving units of its Ultimate Ears BLAST Bluetooth speaker. At its launch price of $229.99, it was priced very high, and Logitech probably sold about three of them. The company has now taken a complete 180 and is offering the BLAST for a stunningly low $64.95 on Amazon just days after Best Buy began offering it for $89.99.
Read More[Deal Alert] UE BLAST down to just $90 ($90 off) for Best Buy members
Ultimate Ears released its latest duo of speakers, the BLAST and MEGABLAST, several months ago. We reviewed them and found that they sounded good, though they were expensive and lacking features that were found in the company's previous speakers. Since then, those features have been added and prices have fallen, making them a lot more appealing. Best Buy is currently offering the BLAST for only $89.99, $90 off the current list price and a whopping $140 off MSRP.

Dell is having a "Black Friday in July" sale. Technically, it's actually in Early Access phase, with the actual sale coming in about three days. We won't complain about the dumb name, though, because there are some great deals being offered here. Those include the Bose QC25 for $169, the Jaybird Freedom F5 for $50, and more.
Read More[Deal Alert] UE BOOM 2 drops to just $75 on Amazon for today only
Ultimate Ears's BOOM 2 Bluetooth speaker may be a few years old now, but it's still one of the best on the market. With its recent discounts, it's become an even more enticing buy. But Amazon is currently offering the BOOM 2 for just $74.99, the lowest price we've ever seen, for today only.
Read More[Update: Now $190 and $230] Deal Alert: Pick up a UE Megablast speaker for $207 ($93 off), with charging dock for $247 (also $93 off)
Right now on Amazon, you can get a great deal on an Ultimate Ears Megablast WiFi and Bluetooth speaker. On its own, the Megablast costs just $207, which is $93 less than the MSRP of $299. That's a significant saving, and it applies if you add the charging dock too. With it, the price is $247, adding $40 for the extra convenience.

Ultimate Ears BLAST and MEGABLAST are soon getting Spotify Connect, grouping, and stereo mode
The Ultimate Ears BLAST and MEGABLAST are good speakers overall, but there were two main areas in which we felt that they weren't quite up to snuff: pricing and features. The pricing concern has largely been alleviated, with some seriously good deals being offered on both models in the past few weeks, but we hadn't heard much on the feature front. Ultimate Ears has just announced that the BLAST and MEGABLAST will be getting Spotify Connect support, as well as some features it should have shipped with.
Read More[Deal Alert] Ultimate Ears BLAST with POWER UP dock down to $129.99 ($139.99 off) from Verizon
Ultimate Ears' new BLAST is a good speaker, but it's not without its flaws. One of those crucial flaws was its high price; at $229.99, the BLAST was more expensive than basically any of its competitors. However, recent discounts have made the price a lot more palatable, and this one from Verizon for $129.99 with the POWER UP dock included may be the best one yet.
