Super-portable, super sound. Welcome to the Logitech UE BOOM 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker!
Ultimate Ears unique processing belts out clear and balanced audio regardless of the volume level. The 360-degree built-in sound is beautifully balanced, while deep and satisfying bass notes punctuate each track.
The two-tone fabric covering the speaker is great to look at, but it's tough as well. The textile has been designed for extreme applications, like motorcycle jackets and fire equipment, so you know it is built to last.
The toughness continues with the construction of the BOOM 3. It has survived more than 25 tough durability tests, including thousands of button pushes, tumbles, drop tests, and more. Party hard with a speaker that's even harder!
The BOOM 3 boasts an incredible IP67 water and dustproof rating. It can be submerged under water for up to half an hour, and when it comes back to the surface it will float, while STILL playing your favourite music.
One button on the BOOM 3 lets you play, pause and skip tracks directly on the speaker, while one push lets you control streamed music. You can even set up one-touch playlists for Apple Music and Deezer Premium via the app. That really is one magic button.
When the music stops, the party ends. Thankfully, the party goes on and on with 15-hour battery life! The BOOM 3 runs on the same battery technology as some electric cars, so it will go the distance as far as your party is concerned.

For almost as long as the current, Bluetooth-based, incarnation of the category has existed, the company have been a dominant force within it. This isn't to say their products aren't always perfect - but they've generally sat in the sweet spot when it comes to balancing portability and...
Nicer design
Magic Button is limited by service; No major improvements
The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 is a definite upgrade over its predecessors. While the design may not have changed much, there are some useful additions. Combined with great audio, especially the bass, as well as extended battery life, the Boom 3 checks all the right boxes when it comes down to it.
Sleek and solid design; Heavy bass; Loud audio without distortion; Great app features
Midrange not as full
Chances are, if you own a portable speaker: it’s probably branded Ultimate Ears.
Despite being one of the biggest names in the party speaker space, Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 still manages to meet expectations.

The good: - Clean and rugged design - EQ option - Detailed and well extended high frequencies - Gets loud - OTA firmware updates - Wireless charging capability The bad: - No bass below ~65-70 Hz so the sound is flat and boring (although detailed) - No aux input - No EQ if you don't use the app on a...
This is my fifth UE product in the last few years and as always the build quality is great, the sound quality is excellent and the battery last me weeks with 1-2h of usage everyday. The only con is that the "daisychaining" mode is sometimes finicky to start between the speakers.
Having a lot of trouble achieving a consistent connection with my iPhone 5s or phone watch. Haven't managed a reliable pairing with my boom 3 speaker either. It's like playing vinyl that jumps on the turntable. Gutted as the sound quality is excellent even in an out door riding arena.
Two durable Bluetooth speakers
Subtle but brilliant design upgrades
Sort of useless Magic Button
Ultimate Ears has been making some of my favorite Bluetooth speakers for years, and I'd argue that although the Boom 3 and Megaboom 3 aren't game-changing, they're definitely the company's best-sounding pure Bluetooth speakers. They look good and are dead simple to use.
One of my first Gizmodo stories was about Logitech getting serious about design . It was published a few weeks after the company released the first UE Boom, which we would eventually decide was the best Bluetooth speaker you could buy.
