Ultimate Ears Boom 3 Review

 

The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 is the latest version of one of UE's most popular wireless speakers. It isn't too big, or too small, and can play music super-loudly. Ulimate Ears has tweaked the design a little this time round, to make it cleaner and more...

Great rugged features Loud, clean 360-degree"sound Smart-looking design

No aux input Some rivals offer deeper bass and a better soundstage

Ultimate Ears’ latest Boom 3 offers adventure-ready rugged features and good, if not class-leading, sound

Ultimate Ears Boom 3 review

 

The UE Boom 3 is among the best portable speakers you can buy.

IP67 waterproof/dust-proof Powerful sound Rugged design Light and portable

Audio lacks sharpness Relatively expensive Battery life isn’t improved

The UE Boom 3 is a fantastic waterproof portable speaker, but Ultimate Ears hasn’t improved the audio quality despite the increased price.

Ultimate Ears Boom 3 review

 

Good sound, but rivals have caught up

Punchy, upbeat, loud sound ; Excellent portable, rugged design ; Fun to use

Sound could be better balanced and more subtle

New features and revamped design make this snazzy, likeable speaker a good bet, but not a great buy

Ultimate Ears UE Boom 3 Review

 

The Boom line of outdoor-friendly speakers from Ultimate Ears has offered modestly room-filling power in a compact, waterproof design for some time now. The $149.99 UE Boom 3 is the latest model, sitting between the smaller Wonderboom ($99.99) and the...

Gets fairly loud for its size IP67 rating Can be linked to multiple other UE speakers

Relatively weak bass Few features for the price

The Ultimate Ears UE Boom 3 is a solid outdoor-friendly speaker that doesn't quite stand out compared with a number of more affordable, more powerful, or more functional alternatives.

Review: Ultimate Ears BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3

 

Ultimate Ears is the original, and many would argue the best, water-resistant, battery-operated, Bluetooth, 360° speaker. The BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3 build

Ultimate Ears quality and bullet-proof IP67 build;BOOM3 will fit a standard water bottle holder on a bike;Loud rather than elegant sound;App EQ can help to reduce harshness

No charger with BOOM 3;Magic Button is limited in music sources;Still micro-USB but we know why – it's cheaper;No longer has a tripod screw mount

Review: Ultimate Ears' Boom 3 is a solid Bluetooth speaker with a few minor advantages

 

The latest incarnation of Ultimate Ears' core Boom speaker is a solid option for iPhone, Mac, or iPad owners who want to wirelessly stream their music with a few small perks over some of its rivals.

I wonder if there's a future for speakers like the Boom 3. The industry trend is towards smartspeakers, and even UE is veering in that direction with its Alexa-enabled Blast line. If your budget allows, we'd probably recommend getting a Blast instead,...

Great product

 

I brought this for my teen daughter, she absolutely loves it & said it louder and clearer than her previous top of the market bluetooth speaker which just stopped working one day. I'm considering buying one for myself too. This was definitely money...
