Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought my Boom3 in November of 2020 and it's still setting the right vibes a year and a half later. I've taken it on vacation, to work, on a boat, and basically everywhere in between. It's survived being in a busy kitchen, falling off counters, sliding into sinks, and getting lost in dusty corners. It definitely looks more beat up now than when i first got it, but it wears those scuff marks proudly and continues to play quality music to this day. My friends, coworkers, and family are always surprised at how loud my speaker can get without becoming terribly static-y or losing it's playing quality. I've never had to turn it up to max volume indoors since it's able to fill a room at a comfortable level at less than or at half Volume! The only thing I will say is that the USB charging port is getting finnicky where I have to make sure the light is blinking before leaving it to charge. I used to be able to plug in and leave it without double checking but now I've got to make sure the USB is in all the way before leaving. Honestly, this only takes a few extra seconds out if my day and my speaker still provides hours of good music and great memories. It's hard to find quality technology that isn't made to break these days, but this speaker really defied my expectations and continues to do it's job well.

Only lasted 2 hours after charging overnight. Bought it as a gift.

Really great sound out of this small speaker. The black blends in to its surroundings so the focus is on the music. It was super easy to pair, and the sound quality is fantastic for a speaker this small. It feels well made and is waterproof so you can take it with you without worrying about ruining it. If you download the Boom App you can change the EQ settings and control your speaker from your phone.

This is my first UE product and it is absolutely amazing! Sound is crisp and deep, the app allows you to set your highs/mids/lows which just enhances the speaker to another level. You get a ton of sound from a small package and the UE Boom 3 is definitely in the top 3 for portable speakers. It has great battery life, waterproof and a simple design for controls. Definitely needs to be on your list!

The outside cylinder was crack offering terrible sound.

I am really impressed with the sound quality of Boom 3. I love that its waterproof so I can use it outdoors with fear of ruining with spills and showers. My only letdown was that per app website it supports features on Boom 3 but upon further research, it does not yet support Boom 3. Maybe app will get updated in the near future. The battery seems to last a long time. I used it for about 8 hours with no problem. UE is constantly evolving and has done a nice job here.

All the other talking points have been pointed out and discussed at length, so I will leave this to but a few key talking points. After using the UE Boom 3 for a week straight at home and office, I can certainly agree with the other 4 and 5 star reviews that this is a great little speaker. I can also confirm as others have stated that it gave me a solid ~75' of distance via Bluetooth connection. Put it on the back porch, went all the way to the back of the yard (which is not flat and has plenty of trees) with my phone in my pocket and no choppiness or skipping. As far as sound; it gets loud and stays relatively clear (especially at this price-point) but it isn't as full as I was expecting. Not bad, but also not blowing me out of the water. I took it to the office and used it as often as I could during the workday. The battery required charging twice with everyday on/off listening habits during that 5 days - so I'd say I got 12-16 hours of playback out of a full charge. The app works as intended. It allows quick (a handful of presets) and fully customizable adjustments to the EQ. It's very simple, not very robust, but the little bit it does do it does well. When you consider all the features; waterproof, dustproof, having the ability to float, PartyUp mode, etc etc etc it's very easy to see that this thing is well-worthy of consideration if you happen to be in the market for a great all-around portable speaker. If 1 sounds as good as it does, I would *love* to link 10-20 of these together (let alone to the max allowed 150) and place them around the house and to see how amazing that would be.

Excellent sound, good battery life, sleek design. Definitely a good choice for the price.

Speaker sound amazing and the battery last for good amount of hrs. And the design looks good too.

I bought the BOOM 3 after reading many positive reviews of it online. It seems to be the best bang for the buck according to other folks who bought it, and my experience has been purely positive so far. Just simple enough to be easy to use, just complex enough to allow for customization of sound quality etc. Really great little speaker, especially compared to speakers of a similar size and price that I've listened to.

Exactly what I was looking for! Loud enough for my space, perfectly portable and holds a decent charge. My only complaint is that this newer version doesn’t come with the charging plate like the previous speaker did, it needs to be purchased separately.

This year Boom 3 improvements has made it my favorite speaker that title was previously held by the JBL Charge 3. One thing that I noticed this year model is bass is deeper but still one notch below the JBL Charge 3 but the clarity of they sound is the difference maker for me. JBL charge 3 sounds good but compared to the Boom 3 the vocals are much more clearer. Music just sounds much more nicer on the Boom 3. Another plus is the ability for EQ settings from the App to customized the sound of your music. Overall i'm impressed with the Boom 3 and highly recommend it.

I love my boom! I have an earlier version but this speaker has gone camping, drunken tubing, and international travel. Speaker is loud enough for parties and the sound is great. The only wear is the color changed from black to more like gray, but the sound is the same as the day it was gifted to me.

Just bought and will not stay charge for nothing at all!

I have always heard great things about the boom series of speakers. So, I was excited to give one a try and compare it to other speakers in its class. Let's get right to it. This speaker is loud, really loud, but loud does not always equate to better. The first thing I like to do is crank up the volume. With this speaker, out of the box, I noticed distortion and clipping at high volume. After tweaking the EQ within the app, I was able to correct most of the issue. Not all, but most. The bass is where I found most of my disappointment. I wasn't expecting room shaking thump, but being that the speaker is always advertised as the party starter, I was expecting a bit more bass than what was present. Even going into the EQ and turning up the bass all the way, it still seemed "hollow." The low end bass tones were decent, but the bass drums lacked any presence. This isn't terrible, but in comparison to other speakers, it was a bit of a letdown. On a side note, I did notice that placing the speaker on some non porous surfaces, like concrete, yielded a better result. As for the build of the speaker, it's top notch. it's sleek, durable to the point where I can just throw it in my bag and go, has great weight, and the IP rating is fantastic. Even in all of my tests, I had no problem with water. I also will add, unlike other speakers, the app really does add to the experience of the speaker. I was able to tweak a custom EQ to fit most of my needs. That typically is unlikely with a lot of speakers in this class. To summarize, while I feel this will be a great speaker to take to the beach, or hanging out by the pool, I can't quite say that it is the party starter that it is advertised to be. Perhaps the megaboom would more fit that description, but I have yet to test that model. Overall, I would still recommend this speaker to anyone who is interested.

I like using the speaker we have used it about three days and still have not charged it. We have used it maybe 4 hours a day. The tap feature is nice so you can set your place list with the boom app tap it and it plays automatically which is great so you don't have to search around. The speaker fills the whole room with sound and having it paired with Alexa is nice when playing music. I would like to get another one to try the party mode and see how that works but the one speaker does enough to fill the wholebroom

This speaker has become my new favorite speaker! It is small but gets very loud. Does distort at higher volumes but I rarely use it that loud. Has 360 sound and is ipx7 rated and drop proof according to Logitech/ UE. It doesn't have that booming bass like the name would suggested but it is tight and doesn't get messy. has the normal play -pause buttons and volume as well. It has this button they call the magic button which works with their app but I am not sure what it does since I don't have any use for it.

This thing really has it all, and the sound is great. I love the minimalist look and feel, plus it floats and it's waterproof.

great speaker - packs a lot of sound into a smallish device. easy set up

Very good quality speaker. It is very small in size an could easily fit in hoodie pocket or a backpack. You could conveniently attach a lanyard and hang it around your neck off to the side
