Most people won\u2019t be listening to the Everboom on their desktop, of course, so I did most of my testing outdoors, where the speaker really steps up. I particularly enjoyed its sound from around 10 feet or more, marked by full-bodied punch in the bass and midrange and refined clarity in the higher frequencies, with a touch of stereo separation. There\u2019s a pulpy warmth that hits just right when rendering snappy percussion, jangly strings, or crisp vocals.<\/p>\n

You can crank it pretty heartily to fill a large space, including engaging the Outdoor Mode for a bit more punch, though you\u2019ll likely notice some digital compression at top volume that can tamp down the excitement. The Everboom easily serves up a fuller sound out in the open when compared to the smaller Boom 4 and my aging JBL Flip 5, as well as the brawnier Beats Pill, which tends to sharpen up in the higher registers outdoors.<\/p>\n

It’s much harder to differentiate between the Everboom and Megaboom 4. Over several hours of critical listening, the Everboom revealed a smoother touch, with warmer and fuller midbass and slightly more power, while the Megaboom is more focused in the mids and less refined in the treble. It\u2019s a difference that’s unlikely to make a big impression, especially when you’re kicking back a few drinks at a barbecue or outdoor gathering.<\/p>\n
