Ultimate Ears BOOM 3 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Bold Sound + Deep Bass, Bluetooth, Magic Button, Waterproof, 15 Hours Battery, Range of 150 ft, Night Black

Not a lot I can say about this apart from it is the bees knees. Excellent sound, nice looks, easy to set up, good quality and worth every penny. I ended up buying another for my wife.

I love UE booms. My first one lasted 8 years and has been on a lot of trips, holidays and festivals. The sound quality is great but the battery does go noticable quicker when on full volume. I love it because it's the perfect size for traveling and provides great audio for a good price point. It's easy to connect to and overall would highly recommend

Although I must preface this by clearly professing my love for Sonos (we have A Beam Gen 2, 2 One SLs and the Sub Mini as our home cinema system), I was a little disappointed when trialling the Rome " for use in the garden etc - thought it was solid but not to the level I've come to expect from them.I saw this on sale here for £60 less than the Rome 2 and figured given the good reviews I'd have a punt - and boy am I glad I did, because this thing sounds immense given it's comparative size similarity to the Rome 2. It's fully tweakable to your own EQ preferences, but straight out of the box it is genuinely surprising how BIG it sounds - not just in a bass-heavy way, but almost comparable to a quality soundbar that is maybe 3 times larger. Deep lows - decent mid-range and excellent on vocal tracks, I've been genuinely surprised just how good this thing can be - to the point now 2 of my neighbours have bought one after hearing mine!The one thing this just knocked the Sonos completely into the dirt on is the practical omni-directional sound - you could have this thing in the middle of you and someone else and you get the same sound in all directions, whereas some outdoor speakers need to face you in order to give you a decent, balanced sound.Loved this so much I bought another one so I can pair it and have proper stereo!

Everything about this is great. Very good value for money - robust, waterproof, sounds great and looks fab.

I use these speakers for work as a dance and music teacher because they're compact, and light. Perfect for transporting around with great sound pay-off.I bought my UEBoom2 in 2018 and it is still going strong to this day, even though it's been kicked around, but the connectivity between UEBooms means I can get 2 or more speakers going together which is great for dance classes.I bought this speaker with the view that it would have the same accessible connectivity as it's predecessor which hasn't been the case. I find it'll connect to the 'newest' unit, and not play everything it's needed too on these devices. I use both a Mac, and PC (as well as iPhone) for work and cannot trust this new speaker to play between Spotify/YouTube and Apple Music seamlessly. Often it just won't play sound from browsers at all and it isn't as easy to adjust the sound. The sound is by far superior, but the accessibility i've come to love with UE2 is not the same with UE3. I actively choose my original speaker if i only need to use one in all scenarios, because I can rely on it.Connecting both speakers creates an awesome sound when I teach, and because the sound quality is better on the UE3, i keep that at the back of the room to really fill the space, and keep my weedier one nearer me.Overall, great speaker, but i can't help but comparing it and feeling it falls short.

Bought this after returning a device by a different manufacturer due to bluetooth connection issues with Ubuntu Linux. (a manufacturer who makes wireless ear buds with no such problems...)Am very happy with this - bluetooth actually works how it should (it allows multiple devices to be paired to it, then each device connects when I tell it to, and ONLY when I tell it to). So far have 100% success rate.It also works great with my Android phone (which is to be expected really...). The design is nice, it sounds good.Its also happy to be left plugged in to the charger and still works while charging.The only downside is that its MicroUSB and not USB-C like we would expect in 2023, but for me, thats not an issue as its a fixed installation in a bedroom.Would recommend.

This is my 2nd UE speaker. A bit bigger than my 1st one, but the sound quality is excellent. Battery life could be better, but adequate.

We were really disappointed with the Boom. We read reviews and this was supposedly on par with the JBL flip series for the money. We bought the Book as it was the only one available at the time.For starters, the sound really isn’t all that great. We weren’t expecting anything amazing but the sound really isn’t all that different from a much cheaper device like the Anker sound core mini. The bass and lows in general are almost non-existent and the mids and highs are very flat and tinny. We’ve used the app to adjust the EQ settings and although some bass boost was achieved it killed what little sound quality there was to start with.Battery life seems quite bad. It had 40 percent charge out the box, and after ~30 minutes of playing at around 30 percent volume, it had dropped to 20 percent.Finally, the device we received won’t charge. We’ve tried 3 cables, and 4 different power sources but nothing worked so we can’t comment on charge time and total playback time. Safe to say we’re returning the item and would be even if it did charge, as it just feels like a scam.We might try for a JBL or other device in the future, won’t be touching ultimate ears again.
