Ultimate Ears Boom 3

Tough, Small, Tidy.

The UE Boom 3 is tough, with an IP67 dustproof (6) and waterproof (7) rating, it can hold up to life's adventures and its misadventures (i.e. being dropped into a pool or the water at the beach). It also floats (however not as much as the photos suggest) which is nice. The UE Boom 3 is definitely the tidiest looking UE Boom to date. With its properly 360 degree appearance and it's new and redefined (and reliable) 'magic button'. There's no AUX port like the previous model, but this would have been removed due to the lack of use. The hanging hinge is now a nice materialised hoop at the top of the speaker, and the micro USB charging port is located at the horizontal surface now, so no need to charge your speaker upside down like the old days (or on its side). The bass, however, is nothing impressive. The advertising would make it seem like it must be incredible, but in reality, it's not much short of disappointing, so bare this in mind when buying your speaker. Overall, the UE Boom,

Loud

I bought this for my son. He loves it and uses it around the pool and while in the shower. It's a big improvement over the smaller model. Decent value for monet as it was on sale.

Ultimate Ears BOOM 3 Portable Speaker - Sunset Red 984-001376 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. Ultimate Ears has tweaked the design a little this time round, to make it cleaner and more stylish.

Good value

For a small, portable bluetooth speaker, I think the Boom 3 is a solid, well made speaker with a clear and fairly loud sound. Battery life has been pretty good. I think UE's definition of 'deep bass' might be a bit different from mine. The Boom 3 is understated in the bass but very clear and punchy in the mids and not too thin in the top end. Two of these in stereo sound very nice. The app, however is a bit of disaster and I have found I have to completely power off my ipod everytime I need to re-connect. Sometimes the app won't recognize the device even when it's connected to the ipod/iphone and playing. Also, the Boom 3 fits into a bicycle drink holder/bidon cage. Apart from being a bit light on bass, I've been very pleased with the Boom 3. While it doesn't sound as nice as the Bose Soundlink, it's way cheaper, waterproof and has a much longer battery life.

Great sound

I was researching speakers for a while until a friend showed me his Boom I was so impressed with the sound I brought this the next day. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the music stops when you receive a call or other app. I've also had an issue trying to rename it, once I did it wouldn't show on my bluetooth and I had to reboot

Almost Perfect

I have had this speaker for 6 months now and i have nothing bad to say about it, the water resistance is no joke. All it has done is sit in my shower getting soaked everyday and is completely fine. My only tweak would be with the bass, if you don't know how to properly use the equaliser you may have some trouble if you want really rich bass, but you can achieve it.

Ue boom 3 is amazing!!

The Ue boom 3 is a fantastic speaker for all round use. Would highly recommend!

Great speaker

So I have had mine for just under a month and absolutely love it. I got the pink one and it's pretty and has surprisingly good volume for it's size. It's about 10cm in height. I haven't used it in water so can't speak for that. Only issue I have had is that it doesn't connect to the bluetooth on my phone all the time and sometimes I end up spending ten minutes turning the bluetooth on both on and off until they connects. Got it on special too which is good. I want to get the Unicorn one for my sister, just won't be from the same store. Would recommend it though!

great for the small home

Pretty happy with the quality of sound and clarity.

Easy connect to phone
