Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is a compact portable speaker with big sound and a small price tag. If you are someone who don't want to shell out more than 100$ but still need a powerful Bluetooth speaker with great sound, IP67 rating, long battery life and good bluetooth range then this speaker is for you. Packaging - The packaging was pretty simple with just the Speaker, Micro USB cable, User Guide and Instructions on functions of each button. Similarity between Wonderboom 2 and Wonderboom 3 1. Same price range of $99.99 2. Almost same sound. 3. Same Micro USB charging cable 4. Same IP67 rating which is Dust and Waterproof and even it floats on water. Differences between Wonderboom 2 and Wonderboom 3: Enhanced Bluetooth range - 31 feet more (131 feet instead of 100 feet) Longer Battery life - 1 hour extra battery life than Wonderboom 2 (14 instead of 13 hours) Sustainability - The speaker is made from 31% post consumer recycled materials/fabric. Charging - It takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to charge the speaker completely from zero to full. Auto power off - After 15 min of inactivity Pros: 1. Great Sound - Its truly amazing sound that one can expect from speakers at this price point. The 360 degree speaker ensures that the sound is evenly distributed across the room. Plenty of punch makes it a great little party speaker. 2. Easy setup - It just took less than 5 seconds to connect from my Android phone. I almost did nothing. As soon as I pressed the Bluetooth button on the speaker i got the prompt on my Android phone and when I hit connect, the speaker was already connected. It was that simple. 3. IP67 rating - This speaker is both Waterproof and dustproof due to the IP67 rating and can be submerged under the water upto 1 meter for about 30 minutes. Also it floats. I haven't tried this both I am pretty sure this should work. This should be a great party or poolside speaker. 4. Battery life - This has a huge battery. The battery life got increased by 1 hour (from 13 hours on Wondeboom 2 to 14 hours on Wonderboom 3). I tested this by playing the sound for straight 14+ hours. With the sound set at around 30% the battery was good even for 15 to 16 hours. May be on full sound or even at 70% sound i think it will last for 14 hours as promised by Ultimate Ears. This is really a great feature as people can really not worry about charging their speaker while partying. 5. Bluetooth range - I haven't tested this but the bluetooth range has increased by 31 feet (from 100 to 131 feet) which is a big change considering the distance. This will be really helpful when partying outdoors really not worrying about the Bluetooth range and reducing the anxiety about losing the bluetooth range. 6. Outdoor mode - This mode boosts the bass to make the sound more impactful when you’re playing music outside. 7. Sound boost - Two Wonderboom speakers can be connected with each other to make the speaker more powerful and provide a sound boost and the setup is easy just by pressing and holding the multifunction button on top of the speaker we will be able to pair two speakers. If we press it again we will be able to switch between mono and stereo modes. Cons: 1. Micro USB - We are in 2022 where most of the gadgets have USB Type C connector but Ultimate Ears did not upgrade from Micro USB to Type C which many were anticipating. It is a big let down. Hope Ultimate Ears considers this and upgrades to Type C charging to stay in the race atleast with the next version of Wonderboom speakers. It takes about 2 hour and 30 minutes to charge the speaker from zero to full. If it was Type C, it would have been possible to charge the speaker in almost less than half the time. 2. Battery level indicator - Checking the battery by simultaneously pressing the volume buttons + and - is easy but the 3 different sounds for Full or Medium or Low battery sounds are confusing. At the first place I had to go to the Ultimate Ears website and found out that there are 3 different sounds for each battery level. Secondly I felt that the sounds for each level is not clearly distinguished. For Full battery we hear sound something like to-do-do-do (in fast tempo). For Medium battery we hear to-do and for the Low battery we hear to-do-do-do (in slow and fading tempo). This is sometimes confusing or atleast will take few weeks to understand and differentiate between each of these 3 sounds. It would have been better if Ultimate Ears had provided the visual indicator with three lights or something that is easy to identify the battery level. 3. No Smart phone app is available to control the volume or tracks or even to know the battery life. Especially in the fast changing world. But at this $100 price point we cannot expect too many things. But it would have been nice to have an app.

Nice speakers great sound quality.. I would recommend this item to others without a doubt.

Ultimate Ears never ceases to amaze me. Take the Wonderboom 3 for example. To the average person, this portable bluetooth speaker may look small and not so powerful, but when it is turned on it blows everyone away! The portability of this bluetooth speaker is virtually unmatched. You can stuff it inside any bag and have plenty of room to spare. The controls are all push button and simple to use. It even has an integrated loop that allows it to be hung up. The 360 degree sound is also great! It also has an "outdoor mode" that can be turned on. This, to me, seemed to increase the volume of the speaker, but it also seemed to lessen the bass output. Don't fear taking this speaker out on the road with you or into the woods. It is IP67 rated and it can take a beating! It can also be linked to other speakers with the push of a button. This way the user can have multiple speakers over a large area. This speaker also comes with a 14 hour battery life. Ultimate Ears has proven again that some really big things come in some really small packages! This speakers has it all and doesn't compromise anything. Buy it and take it on your next adventure! It is worth it!

An amazing lightweight speaker that is delivering a middleweight punch! I could honestly find no flaws or cons with this speaker so lets dive right into the Pros so you can hurry up and grab this gem. Portability: It’s compact design allows for ease of travel, packing, clipping or carrying wherever you desire to bring along some tunes. How compact? Think, a little shorted than a can of soda but a little wider as well. It will fit into almost any compartment of a backpack and the elastic loop allows you to attach the speaker to pretty much anything that you can imagine. Battery: Just superb, charging time from around 10% battery life to 100% was right around 2 hours. At 100% I was able to achieve the 14 hours of advertised battery life. Sound: Very good sound, I tested many different styles of music and all of them came across clear at each level of volume intensity. The Bass is not to overpowering and I found no distortion through the playlists. Protection from the elements: I tested the speakers water resistance by using it in a shower and had no issues, it stood up to the water just fine.

I have 3 of these and love them! Work great and great sound quality.

Great little speaker, this is my second one as it dies a great job

very handy. useful in many ways. Small and so its very portable

A little bit pricey, but it puts out good quality and loud sound.

The sound quality is great for its size. I like the looks too

good quality sound if you like to beat the house .

Not a bad option for the price. However, the volume controls and difficult to use especially if you have small hands or any issue that effects your grip strength.

Sounds so good! Will def purchase again! Great value

Wonderboom is fantastic it has a surrounding sound

This bluethoot speaker have a nice and clean sound

A bit too much bass and had previous Wonderboom speaker that worked reasonably well. Had to return this item because it quit working.

Ultimate Ears speakers always pack a punch. I love the rich base heavy boom that comes from this speaker. It’s light weight and sounds great there isn’t much more you could ask for in a Bluetooth speaker. This speaker is great for packing around to the beach or camping. It’s so light weight and small, but still Carrie’s tremendous sound in its small package. The battery life is outstanding, meeting every expectation and has been able to keep up with everything I throw at it. The sounds quality is rich, clear and crisp even at high volume I hear very little distortion. If you’ve used an Ultimate Ears speaker before you’ll know exactly what to do and what to expect. It’s an amazing little speaker that works great when you need good sound but don’t have the space to pack a large Bluetooth speaker. Overall I’m really impressed with the amount of quality sound that was able to be packed in such a small package. For the price range, the size and the sound quality, there isn’t a better speaker you could ask for.

I had a wonderboom for years, but the speaker finally blew. I bought this one to replace it, but didn't enjoy the quality in the same way.

Not such a bad product. But it would be better if it could connect to all boom products

I like how this speaker hooks right up to my phone. Sorry to say the sound quality is not very qood.

Not too bad, fair price for its quality and coloring
