Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid sound. More reasonably priced then competitors auch as Bose. Very easy to pair via Bluetooth. Nice feature is a programmable electronic equalizer for the speaker that can be downloaded as a free App. Nice.

Compact size, great sound, wireless. What's not to love ? Well the problem with this unit is its bigger brother does it all a little better. It is worth it to upgrade to the MegaBoom units for more of what the Boom 3 gives. If I did not have the bigger unit, I would have rated this unit 5 stars. But I still love this product

First and foremost, I love this speaker! Logitech's new line of Ultimate Ears doesn't disappoint. I've tried several bluetooth speakers that are waterproof, but this one is only the second one I've found that combines waterproofing design with awesome, fully realized sound. Right out of the box, the BOOM 3 is about the same size as my Echo Tap - maybe slightly bigger. Like the Echo Tap, the BOOM 3 can be charged by the supplied micro-USB cable or, as an extra purchase, Logitech's charging puck base. I held off on buying the charging base until I was sure that this speaker would be a keeper, but now it looks like it'll have to get added to my shopping list. In terms of design, there's a micro-USB charging port on the back, and the top has 2 buttons: The power button and the magic button. Admittedly, I thought the magic button was more of a gimmick than feature, but I've come to love using it. A quick press pauses and plays, a double-tap skips to the next song in your queue, and a long hold will move to the next playlist. I'll get to that last part below in the companion app part. The setup was quick and painless - and while I usually complain about having to download companion apps (because they tend to be bloatware), the Logitech BOOM app has something that I sorely missed in other speakers: a customizable equalizer! Part of the setup process included adding up to 4 playlists to the BOOM's quick play feature. Using the magic button, you can long-press and skip from playlist to playlist. Just to be clear - this isn't storing music on the speaker itself, there's not a hard drive or anything. It's playing the music from your paired phone. In terms of battery, I've used this thing for several days at an hour or two at a time and haven't worn it down. I decided to give this thing a test and use it in the shower and it blew me away! Using the equalizer option for "enclosed space", I can jam out in the shower to my kind of music without making the entire house listen in as well. Make no mistake - this thing easily kicks out the noise! You crank it up high enough and it'll get plenty loud. The only reason I rated this item as 4 stars was due to the lack of an Aux input - not a huge deal breaker, but would've certainly made this thing a home run in my book. The BOOM is priced around $150 - which is in line with more full-feature devices, like the ones from Sony. It's definitely not the cheapest speaker out there, but I've come to expect a certain level of quality from Logitech and the BOOM 3 is another solid product.

Pared this with my laptop for a presentation at a meeting. Great sound in a room for 35 people. Had a little trouble with the app, Used it again to teach a Line dance to music. Great sound.

The Boom 3 is perfect for taking camping, to the pool or on a bike ride. It will fit very well in the water bottle slot on most bicycles. It's waterproof and if you happen to drop it in the pool or the lake it will float. It's a good on the go speaker. The Boom 3 can be controlled through the UE app, which will have to be updated for the Boom 3. Out of the box the Boom 3's treble is dull and lifeless. The app does have some EQ settings and a custom option, but it doesn't seem to want to stay on the custom EQ if you use it. I found it better to use a dedicated EQ app on my phone. With EQ enabled, the treble (highs) were much clearer and enjoyable. You can set up playlists and control that from the magic button on the speaker. The speaker itself is covered in a hard fabric covering, similar to the JBL Flip 4 and some of their other speakers. Has a loop to attach a carabiner, not included. Bottom of the speaker is a connector for charging from a docking style base plate, also not included. Boom 3 did move the micro-USB charging port from the bottom to the side, which is an improvement. No power brick included with this speaker, just a charging cable. Overall, this is a solid speaker. It's slightly larger than my JBL Flip4 and plays a little louder and with a little more bass capability than the Flip 4. $150 is pretty pricey, IMO, but you do get a solid, rugged speaker with solid battery life, good output and sound quality when properly EQ'd.

Long lasting battery sounds good. I wish it had a little more bass.

Good sound, stays decently balanced at max volume so there’s no fatigue listing to it for extended sessions. It’s best at maybe 80-85% volume when you need to go loud but not necessarily max. Fits in cup holders, which is nice. Can pair with, or without, the app which is also nice. I might buy a second one when there’s another sale. Loses points for still charging micro-usb.

For what I bought it for, it is perfect. I sit on my deck outside on weekend nights in the summer and listen to music while I am grilling or chilling. But the main reason that I bought it was to use at the beach. The sound quality is perfect for this. Loud enough so I can hear my music with good quality and not so loud that I am angering everybody around me. Sound quality is actually very good and the bass is good also (Not as great as a boom box, but very sufficient. And the sound is nice, and it doesn't sound as if I am listening to music inside of a shoe box. Deep rich sound for such a small and portable unit. Great battery life, and amazing range! The range is far better than other bluetooth speakers that I have owned.

Pros: excellent sound for a small speaker. Over all volume won’t blow you away as why I bought 2 so we could pair them outdoors on the patio. Battery life is great, water proof is excellent for the pool, pairing from Bluetooth device with display (phone, iPad etc) works well using multiple speakers, with the app. Con: Owned TV isn’t Bluetooth so Bluetooth adapter purchased. Pairing 1 speaker with the TV is a piece of cake, getting the second speaker to pair with the 1st one, not using the app, has been unsuccessful. When using an outside device such as a phone or I pad to link the speakers, they then are tied to the phone etc, not the tv. Looking for some help to achieve linking TV to both speakers and it successful, would buy at least 2 more for big events, such as the Super Bowl. Recap: I am impressed with the product and still working through bugs.

I need a new Bluetooth for work. I found this light weight and easy to pack and travel with. The Sound is great not the best I’ve heard from this ultimate ears, I’m constantly adjusting the sound level according the the song playing. The Bass is pretty good though. I haven’t really had a chance to play with the app that’s used with the speaker yet. I bought the power charge dock and that has made me love this speaker for that alone. I’m pleased that while I’m working so far I’ve used the speaker 3 different times for 15 hours on and off without charging, call me impressed.

Great speaker, with even better bass! My boyfriend said he wanted something loud, light in weight, easily portable, and able to take on the river! This speaker was all of that! He was able to bring it everywhere with us! This brand even makes it super easy to control by having an app you can control all the buttons without having to get up and turn it down or change the song! Great speaker highly recommend. Only down side is we were having trouble with keeping it connected to your phone from a further distances. That was the only downside of this speaker. Everything else is great!

With the easy to install Boom 3 app on my phone, I was listening to my playlists in no time. I still am not able to get it to sync with my laptop but it's not a high priority for me. Great sound out of this and with the equalizer in the app, it's easy to get different sound profiles depending on what you are listening to. Nice, small footprint not taking up too much room on my desk, workbench, or the vanity in the bathroom during shower time.

I think it’s a great speaker with only one downside: it’s not two way meaning if you put it in the cup holder in your car because you drive a classic and talk to friends on the phone it doesn’t do it. But the sound is incredible for music and audiobooks, better than other comparable or even more expensive brands, the battery last forever, I love the design and it’s easy to handle, I also love the matching up app where you can switch it on and off. Would I recommend? Absolutely!!!

I was looking for a good sounding Bluetooth speaker that could travel and provide music in an office, shop and hotel room. The Boom provided the quality of sound and volume I wanted in a portable unit. I couldn’t believe it but this unit sounds much better than my Bose unit that cost more. The volume buttons are especially easy to use when I’m wearing gloves while working in the shop. People that come into the shop can’t believe the sound coming from this unit. Highly recommend.

Love the Volume and quality on it. It has a good bass for the size. I'll say is the size of the Venti cup from startbucks. One night I forgot my Boom3 outside and the next morning was on a mall puddle, like sitting on water... I was surprise everything was working fine after. But even tho, I feel the price is too high for the product.

The Boom 3 speaker was a gift for my son. Easy to set up and pair with his phone. He loves the sound. Very clear sound reproduction, and is able to project a good amount of bass for such a small profile. The one minor complaintwould be, the sound volume noticeably decreases as battery drains. Most speakers we've used in the past may start to lose connection when battery gets too low, or run until they just turn off. This speaker starts to lose volume at about 1/4 remaining battery power, and just gets softer from that point on. Not a big issue, just different. A couple positives... the speaker is highly water resistant and can handle a dip in the pool or playing in the shower. It is also shock resistant, easily handling small falls off a table or shelf. Overall, this is a quality wireless speaker, well worth the standard price, but even better if you can find it on sale for under $80. We highly recommend the Boom 3.

Upgraded from a smaller klipsch groove. Great sound overall. Bass sounds fine and can get loud.

Excellent sound! I was concerned replacing my Bose SoundLink with something outside the Bose family, but very glad I did as the sound is just as good if not better than my SoundLink. Incredible value for $150, in my opinion. Pros: Sound is amazing; very clear and balanced. Incredibly easy to connect (even though I had to download an app). Plug in and go; the size of an AZ Iced Tea or tall beer can. Cons: No wall charger, only cord; no instruction booklet; no auxiliary plug in; some Apple-only features. That said, I have no issues playing this with my Samsung phone (though, UE, it would be nice to have the Apple features made available for Android users!). Overall: I listen to all genres of music (Emerson, Lake & Palmer to Eminem) and this speaker plays them all beautifully. From a sound-standpoint, this speaker doesn't disappoint. One star off for the above cons though.

Great, rich sound & long charge life. I like the fact that it's water proof & dust proof as I will enjoy taking it to the beach with me. If I have one negative it would be that it isn't very intuitive to use & doesn't show the user when fully charged & doesn't tell you that you have been connected like my Bose.

-Ease of use 5/5 -Sound quality 4/5 -Portability 5/5 -Battery life 5/5 -Plus for water resistance even though I have not tried it yet. -The reason for 4 stars is the sound quality is decent, but not something to go after if you are an audiophile.
