  • Great sound
    Verified BuyerReviewed by Northcara - August 2, 2019

    So I bought this UE because I had a UE Megaboom 2 and it never disappointed the quality was awesome but after 3 years it stopped working so I decided it was time for a new one but I didn't want to pay so much money. When I bout the Megaboom 2 three years ago it was $300 and that's a lot so I opted for the normal UE boom 3 and to my surprise its LOUD I would say the same as my old Megaboom just with a little less bass but that's not a big issue for me. I also love that this one is more portable then my old Megaboom. Overall I would recommend especially if you want a speaker that is waterproof. I take this baby to the pool and kayaking all the time and it's a reasonable price 10/10

  • Great little speakers. Love 'em
    Verified BuyerReviewed by GeoFLL - June 20, 2019

    Compact size, great sound, wireless. What's not to love ? Well the problem with this unit is its bigger brother does it all a little better. It is worth it to upgrade to the MegaBoom units for more of what the Boom 3 gives. If I did not have the bigger unit, I would have rated this unit 5 stars. But I still love this product

  • Nice spall speaker
    Verified BuyerReviewed by JRShow48 - December 4, 2020

    Solid sound. More reasonably priced then competitors auch as Bose. Very easy to pair via Bluetooth. Nice feature is a programmable electronic equalizer for the speaker that can be downloaded as a free App. Nice.

  • Great for Outside Events/Family Gatherings
    Verified BuyerReviewed by Nick - June 26, 2020

    It’s a very loud speaker! I love the fact that I can turn it on and play music from my phone with the Boom App. I could be in an entirely different room and start playing music out of nowhere. It’s water proof which is a plus, but when I put the speaker directly inside of the pool to test it, the music stopped when it was completely submerged underwater. It’s not floatable and it’s bottom-heavy. Also, there’s no Aux slot so it’s basically only Bluetooth—you can’t set it up to a non-Bluetooth compatible device. But it is super loud...a lot louder than my previous speaker.

  • everything I thought it would be!
    Verified BuyerReviewed by EKear1 - August 24, 2019

    I like this speaker because it is small and tall to fit in my small NYC apt. Easy to use and understand.
