Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product is really good i was going to purchase the Hyperboom but this megaboom is good for everday use.

The speaker has a very clear sound, it gets very loud, and has a great battery life. Very happy with my purchase!

Not to bad of a speaker. Definitely better than the more expensive sony 300 something. I wish these newer models still had wifi and alexa connectivity.

This speaker is a sound system all by it self. Planning to buy another for some surround sound.

The music sounds nice and clear My mother has one and she likes it very much too

Great sound for a small speaker. Pairs quickly looks nice

Great sound the size of the speaker. Battery will wear down faster with full volume up but it does say that in the directions. Overall great product.

This speaker is phenomenal. It definitely packs a punch will be perfect when I’m hosting in the backyard!

I got this for my Echo Dot. The sound is great & setup is easy. However, every so often the wifi connection gets garbled, resulting a an intermittent but regular break in the connection that occurs about once a second. Completely turning it off an back on usually corrects the problem

I have the old Megabioms and they all sink together and sound fantastic. The Megaboom 3 is lighter, sounds better and best of all the wireless charging with the charging dock. Which is a must have.

Great buy. Sound is great. Would buy again. We love it.

*Introduction The Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 delivers on a winning formula of quality, aesthetic design, ruggedness, and 360 degree sound. In a crowded market of bluetooth speakers, it doesn't try to distract you with flashy lights (Sony), dazzle you with vibrating bass radiators and a speaker that charges your phone at the expense of the speaker battery (JBL), or go with the highest price tag and marketing (Bose). I happen to own the portable bluetooth speakers from all the aforementioned brands. They're no doubt wonderful speakers, but I think the UE Megaboom line is all about hitting the sweet spot of making the cleanest and clearest sound to delight our auditory senses. *Brief Megaboom/Megaboom 3 Comparison Even if UE didn't update to the Megaboom 3, the previous iteration would still compete well with the big players. However, UE does a fine job increasing the appeal of its speaker by eliminating the thick vertical rubber running across the volume buttons. The speaker grille fabric is now dressed in a two tone reflective fabric, it sits on top of an optional Power Up charger, eliminates the underside D-ring and tripod mount for a fabric roll at the top edge of the cylinder, and puts on slightly more weight (925 grams vs. 877 grams) without a noticeable increase in girth. It still keeps its ruggedness with a rubbery top and bottom cylinder cap and durable grille fabric that will take on the abuse of drops, scrapes, and spills. It’s got a new IP67 certification for waterproofing and dustproofing. If you don't go with the optional Power Up charger, you can simply open up the flap near the bottom of the cylinder without needing to turn it upside down or placing it on its side like the previous Megaboom. All in all, well received improvements that don't go unnoticed. *Audio Performance How does it all sound? To my normal non-ultimate ears, the Megaboom 3 sounds terrific. First off, I like how the bass is not overdone. It’s got good tight mid and upper bass frequencies that don’t unfairly pull down the mids and highs. While it doesn’t thump and rattle your tabletop, it sounds very natural and full. Don’t get me wrong, it’s got plenty of bass where it is needed, but some folks will characterize this as not having enough bass. However, I’m no basshead, and prefer clarity above all else. Next, the mids and vocal frequencies are simply outstanding. Vocals are reproduced very well with the Megaboom 3. And last but not least, this speaker can hit the crispy highs. Compared to the Megaboom, the new Megaboom 3 has more bass and has clearer mids and highs. So, overall there is a noticeably improved sound to the audio quality. In terms of volume, the speaker can get very loud. I didn’t detect any distortion. With the 360 degree sound, it does well both indoors and outdoors. For indoor application, I like placing it near walls, corners, and bookshelves where the sound gets reflected for an even larger perceived output. Outdoors, the speaker really shines. The 360 degree sound really ensures there are no dead spots for the outdoor party. I recommend downloading the UE Megaboom app to get the most out of the speaker. From within the app, you can adjust the sound via a 5 band equalizer or use one of the available preset equalizers. You’ll also be able to increase/decrease volume using the app, turn off/on the annoying bluetooth connection sounds, view the battery meter, and add speakers for party up, double up, and block party. I added my old UE megaboom on party up and, boy did it get loud in my home. I can’t imagine what 150+ speakers will do. That’s the amount of speakers UE claims can be joined together in party up mode. Also keep in mind that for stereo mode using two speakers, both speakers must be from the same model. I was unsuccessful at adding the old Megaboom to the new Megaboom 3 as a stereo pair. Just doesn’t work. No mixing and matching for stereo. Either use two megabooms or two megaboom 3’s. UE has a button at the top of the speaker named a “Magic” button. It’s nothing special. It’s basically a multi-function button that allows you to play/pause/skip forward and activate playlists from Apple Music or Deezer Premium. *Minor Dislikes -UE got rid of the 3.5mm audio jack. I guess it was only a matter of time. -The +/- volume labels on the cylinder are large, leading one to think that you can simply press anywhere along the + and - label to adjust the volume. That is not the case however. The actual buttons themselves are rather small and centered right on the cross for the plus button, and at the midpoint for the minus button. UE might as well have made the labels smaller to coincide with the actual size of the diminutive buttons underneath the fabric grille. *Recommendations Do I recommend the UE Megaboom 3? If you don’t already have a bluetooth speaker, then absolutely yes. This is an excellent speaker that isn’t afraid to be taken outdoors, dunked in water, and dropped, but still forgives you with outstanding audio. If you already own one of the many competitor speakers, then its worth auditioning the new Megaboom 3. You might be surprised at how much you like it. If you already have a Megaboom, that decision gets a little harder. UE’s outgoing Megaboom is already a winner in my opinion. Upgrading to a new Megaboom 3 will get you some better sounding audio, but I suggest instead to consider an additional Megaboom to pair with your existing Megaboom for a stereo pair, you’ll be able to breathe new life into your Megabooms that will sound better than a single Megaboom 3.

The Megaboom 3 is fantastic. This is my third Megaboom and I use it constantly on my bike. Great sound!!

Beautiful and works great, I love it . Best recommendation.

I really like my speaker. It hooks up to anyone's bluetooth. Easy to operate. Great sound, too. Haven't used it outside yet, but I will and add another speaker to my listening pleasure.

OMG! I searched hi and low for a Bluetooth Speaker for months. The MEGABOOM 3 is great! I use it anytime I am outside. I've gotton great comments from friends when we're hanging out!

Super great speakers, easy connection with good app management

I took it on its first trip to the beach for the eclipse. We were there 2 1/2 hours and the low power light came on the last few minutes. I thought the battery would last longer, but it could have been the volume or something like that. The app for it works fine and the sound is great.

I work security so I needed somthing that was bluetooth and sounded great on graveyard...This speaker is pretty freaking awesome and loud. When my boss ain't around I watch hulo in clear sound baby.. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful sound quality. I’m a fan of Bose/JBL products but was recommended this product by an associate. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and thankful that I was guided to a product that exceeded my expectations.
