Customer Ratings & Reviews

Man, I was so happy when I got this speaker. It got LOUUUUD, the bass was punchy, the sound was unrivaled. So why am I rating it 2 stars? Well, it was rated for 16 hours of battery life, and to my surprise, it only lasted for 6.5 hours. I was highly disappointed by this as it was a big selling point for me. I ended up returning it and buying a soundcore rave neo which was actually a much better purchase and cheaper.

Awesome sound! Extremely sleek and packs an amazing punch!

Excellent speaker awesome sound and great battery life

This was a gift for my son-in-law who travels a lot and he loves to have his music wherever he goes. He loves the sound and the portability.

it was a birthday gift for my son, he LOVES it. Great sound and easy to use, he even uses the app on his phone for it.

Allow me to elaborate: I purchased a UE BOOM 2 last year when it was on sale and thought it was a brilliant purchase because Ultimate Ears delivered a great portable speaker with enough ruggedness to withstand my daily showers. The sound was good for its size and price, and I was excited when UE announced the BOOM 3. Let me say that the new BOOM 3 looks pretty darn gorgeous. The BOOM 2 looked great, too, but was more on the funky side. The BOOM 3 is more elegant with its two-tone fabric weave. I'm very glad UE added a button on top for play/pause and skip controls. The BOOM 2 had those controls but you had to pick it up, and "tap" it, like tapping a bottle of ketchup. The BOOM 3 is wider than the BOOM 2, but it's not a deal breaker. It's still a nice water-bottle-looking speaker that plays nice with corners and backpack pockets. On to the sound quality -- or should I say, sound signature? The BOOM 2 was as good as it can gets for a rugged waterproof speaker. I thought UE would improve the sound signature on the BOOM 3, but it sounds like it's the same. Which isn't a bad thing, but a bit of a letdown. Good news is the BOOM 3 starts at a lower price. So, in a way, the BOOM 3 is what the BOOM 2 could have and should have been. Again, not a bad thing, and I'm glad they went with that route. App support is great and you still get cool features like the ability to remotely turn the BOOM 3 on/off. The EQ settings come in handy because they have practicality to them, like "Cramped Spaces," which dials the mids down a bit for smaller rooms. Overall a great speaker that is amazing on its own, but stands a bit dull as a sequel to its predecessor, the BOOM 2. But hey, maybe BOOM 3 isn't meant to be a sequel and I'm just putting that pressure on it.

Battery lasts quite a while and the quality of the music is good

Wonderful full sound and easy to use with your cellphone

The sound is great in my office space, The long lasting charge gets me through my day.

Not being a speaker/sound guy, I was looking a t familiar brands like Sony and Altec until a friend suggested Boom. He asked me what I wanted for and even suggested the size. For just a few dollars more than other brands but less than the premium you pay with Bose, Boom delivers a great sound and durable speaker. I can't wait to add one or two more and link them together. I use for the home gym, my office, my old truck and I even throw it my ruck when I get some miles rucking.

One of the best sounding portable speakers with great bass

Alot of great sound coming from this speaker! Love the fact that it’s water proof too!

This is my new best friend. It goes wherever I go, the beach, pool, park... and works well and sounds real.

Portable and light weight speaker connect to any mobile devices, laptop or desktops wirelessly. Great medium range volume.

I love being able to take my music anywhere. The sound is awesome and quite powerful. I can hook up to anything! Great investment!

This speaker is phenomenal - sound quality, size, and waterproof - cannot be beat for the price

The great thing about this Boom 3 portable speaker is the 360 degree speaker. The sound is crisp and it’s the perfect size.

Great bass sound. Because we have hearing problems the Mega Boom3 gives us the clarity we are missing.

Great sound, bought for husband and he loves it. Every Friday we jam to music it’s easy and the battery life is great. Great buy.

The UE Boom 3 puts out great sound for its size and I think it is just right for using around the house. It is perfect to listen to while working at home during the lockdown. I have been getting about 6 or 7 days of listening out of the battery at maybe 5 or 6 hours per day and about one quarter volume. I love the fact that you can turn the thing on and off and adjust the volume with the iPhone app. That makes it easy to sit the device in a corner of a room and then not have to mess with it any more. Also, the app has more granular volume control than my phone. It takes two taps on the up or down volume adjuster in the app to equal one corresponding push on the volume button of my iPhone. So, the app is wonderful for getting the volume at just the right level. On top of all of that, I got the Boom 3 at a nice discount. Couldn't be any happier!
