    It wouldn’t stay charged. I think the sound is actually better than the JBL speaker too but not staying charged created a problem

    Decent sound quality but less than desired. I use it at bedside where softer is more suitable.

    Decent Improvement to the UE Boom Line

    Ah, the UE Boom 3. The previous generation speakers were already pretty dang good. Great bluetooth range, battery life (8-12 hours) depending on how much you taxed the BT range and if you had speakers paired. Decent sound, ability to act as a speakerphone should you decide to take a call on a nearby speaker. Rugged cool design. So, how do the UE Boom 3s stack up? Any reason to choose these over the Boom 2? The answer is a resounding yes. Here's why: 1. The Boom 3 continues the cylindrical design with a much tighter weave. You end up with a bluetooth speaker that looks a bit more stylish. 2. Battery life, bluetooth range, sound performance is all unchanged. You are not losing out on features and functionality. In fact, battery life is a bit up by a couple more hours. 3. There's a new "magic" button. This can play/pause music and via the app, allows triggering playlists with one touch. 4. Despite being more stylish, more rugged. The previous speakers can handle water, but this seems more designed for it. Floats better (or actually, depending on your view), sounds just as good under water. 5. With the latest BT technology, it can pair to more source devices, up to 8. I only had three sources available to test and that worked well. 6. Perhaps the most useful change, the charging port! On the prior models, one plugged in via usb on the bottom of the cylindrical speaker. This meant either standing it upside down if you wanted to play music while charging or rolling it on it's side. Now, with the port rotated up, one plugs in at the "back" of the speaker while it stands upright. I know this seems minor, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has set their Boom 2s on top of the cord, putting stress on the cable and usb connection on the speaker. In short, I'm impressed with the Boom 3s improvements.

    I love these and how you can link them in stereo. The app could use some help and the functions of linking in a “block party” are confusing. But when you do get all the speakers paired and in stereo they have great sound inside and out. Careful not to space them too far apart and we’ve found that they struggle when there’s objects between them (ie no clear line of sight speaker to speaker) otherwise a happy customer.

    I purchased for bike rides. Fits in my water cage easily. Sound is loud and clear but the bass is very lacking imo. Ended giving to my son because the lack of bass and i decided that I really needed a speakerphone feature on my bike rides. This speaker does not have speakerphone. Purchased bose micro, fits on my handle bars easily sounds good, as good as the boom 3 and has a speakerphone that works well.

    This is my first purchase for this brand, so far so good, but have not used it enough to know much about it, hence the 4 star instead of 5. it was very easy to set up...hope this helps.

    I received a similar potable speaker as a gift a few years ago and liked it very much. It died recently and I tried to find another one just like it. No longer available. I bought this speaker to replace it. I like it but there are two differences compared to the previous one; the sound is not as robust and there is no charge feature for my IPod. However, I enjoy having it. I use it almost everyday.
