Our Verdict

Bose SoundLink Revolve

Ultimate Ears MEGABLAST

The Ultimate Ears MEGABLAST is a better speaker than the Bose SoundLink Revolve. It supports stereo content, and it has built-in support for Alexa voice assistant over a Wi-Fi connection. It also has a graphic EQ and presets available in its companion app so you can customize its sound. However, the Bose has longer battery life.
