Customer Ratings & Reviews

It has a nice crisp sound. I only wish it had a USB type C charger port.

Enjoy listening to all your shows with wonderful even bass set to the perfect volume...you'll be just as satisfied as my ears are!

This little speaker has amazing sound!! I purchased it for my husband and he loves it!! If you're looking for a great portable speaker for a good price, this is the one!

Quality product. Very loud for a tiny speaker but yet clear with no distortion.

Nothing to dislike about this speaker!! Easy to connect and love the battery life

The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 is a very nice 360 surround sound speaker. It has incredible sound for such a small package. You may be familiar with the WonderBoom or Boom 2 which are other portable, waterproof, Bluetooth 360 surround sound speakers – all from Ultimate Ears. I have them all so I could compare the earlier products with the new Boom 3. The sound from each is excellent but I did feel the bass was better on the Boom 3. The footprint for the Boom 3 is also better in that it has a smaller diameter but is taller and for me that made it fit better on the real estate of my computer desk. Pricing for the earlier WonderBoom is about 1/3 the cost of the newer unit so that may be a factor for you. However, Ultimate Ears people were listening to feedback on the earlier products and made quite a few changes that may be useful to review. Be aware that there is a complete lineup of Ultimate Ears products now, so you can up your game with even more robust units than the excellent Boom 3. The Boom 3 does come with two 2” drivers and two 2” x 4” passive radiators – this is where the 360 sound technology comes from – marvelous. The Boom 3 has a more attractive and durable finish, in my view, than the Wonderboom or the Boom 2. The new Boom 3 also has a so-called Magic Button to play, pause and skip and you can use this button to run playlists from your cell phone without touching your phone – nice. The Boom 3 has an optional charging disc that you can stand the Boom 3 on and charge without wires. This is especially nice since many folks will want to toss this unit in the pool, and the less messing with the waterproof cover over the USB charging port the better. However, it’s pretty costly and you may want to wait for a better price point on it before you pick one up. You can always charge using the included USB cable which is what I’m doing. Here’s an interesting point, the WonderBoom and the Boom 3 will float, but the Boom 2 will not. So that’s a big improvement since you don’t want the unit to sink beyond its approximately 3-foot water resistance. The Boom 3 is also dust proof which the others are not, so you can toss it in the sand on the beach for example – very nice feature. Bluetooth range is 50% better on the Boom 3 (about 150 feet) which I found nice when walking around my basement workshop paired with my cell phone. I also paired it with a desktop and a Sling AirTV unit – no pairing problems at all. These units are drop tested to ensure they are rugged and that is a very important fact since the units are meant to be portable and used without a worry that a drop on the ground will harm them. There is an android app for the Boom 3 which is pretty much a must if you pair it with your phone. It gives you an equalizer and abilities like combining two or even up to 150 Boom 3’s. You can party-up’ Boom 3’s with any of the Ultimate Ears’ line-up including Boom 2 or MegaBooms. However you can’t ‘party-up’ the Boom 3 with the older WonderBoom. You can update the Boom 3 firmware which is not an option on the WonderBoom. It has a very strong hang loop and this is a definite requirement. The 15 hours battery life with lithium-ion batteries is great and tested out. It does take almost 3 hours to charge up. You can choose it in red, black, blue or violet. If you get more than one, it might be nice to have different colors. If you are still putting up with the old PC speakers, they are now very old sound technology. This Boom 3 has sound so much more vibrant and so convenient with Bluetooth that it’s really nice if you can move up to these types of units. In addition, the ‘party-up’ type function and the ability to drop it in water or sand make its versatility hard to beat. I do highly recommend this unit as the best I’ve tested at this price point for a small Bluetooth speaker.

The basics are there: sound is really great and the build is stronger than it looks. However linking two or three together isn’t that easy and charging is really slow.

The best sound ever. Good to use on work many times I dropped and still goin

I love it, i paired with another boom speaker. It gives great sound quality

Perfect! Couldnt be more happy to have in my possession

This speaker is great! It’s very clear and I can hear it from a pretty decent distance. There is an app you can download and use to control the speaker.

Awesome sounds, great product, great quality. Love the sound.

I paint and I need music to keep me energised. This speaker is just the ticket! I play my iTunes through my phone and a large room is filled with sound. HAPPY HAPPY customer.

Love this speaker, the sound is super loud and clear. I wish the battery lasted a little longer but overall the best speaker I have ever bought.

Sounds 10 times better than BOAZ so I pay all the money for Bose when you can get something with better sound.

The first one still works great and he uses everyday. He wanted a second one so he can leave one at home and one at work. Great product with great sound & he can carry in his pocket.

This portable wireless speaker works well and has a nice sound.
