Buena calidad de sonido, pero...
Color: Night Black
Pattern: Speaker
Llevo tres meses utilizando el BOOM 3 y me parece pertinente hablar de sus características. Empecemos por las cosas buenas: 1. CALIDAD DE SONIDO Es necesario resaltar la calidad tan excelsa de sonido que tiene este parlante. Los entendidos sabemos que la conexión por Bluetooth acarrea pérdida conside
rable en la calidad del sonido. Sin embargo, he de decir que el BOOM 3 me sorprendió sobremanera: agudos y medios en su punto y los bajos, aunque poco notorios y exagerados, son cómodos y audibles. 2. VOLUMEN Y POTENCIA El BOOM 3 es ideal para aquellos que quieran utilizarlo en una habitación pequeña o en una reunión o fiesta. Esto es así porque puede llegar a ser discreto y a la vez muy potente sin llegar a afectar demasiado la calidad de sonido. 3. WATERPROOF No he testeado el parlante sumergiéndolo de lleno en agua, pero se ha llegado a mojar levemente y hasta el momento no ha presentado problemas. Llegó la hora de hablar de lo malo: 1. CARGA Y BATERÍA Si bien es cierto que la duración de la batería no es el fuerte de este aparato, uno esperaría más por algo que cuesta más de cien dólares. Hay aparatos muchísimo más económicos que tienen una carga más duradera independientemente del uso. Si usas el BOOM 3 discretamente, la batería puede durar más de 10 horas non-stop. Pero si usas el BOOM 3 con el volumen máximo, la carga solo te va a durar cuatro o cinco horas (a menos que lo uses mientras esté conectado a la energía). Se entiende que se hayan decantado por un uso más discreto y se hayan enfocado en un parlante que provea una calidad de sonido óptima, pero repito: este parlante cuesta más de cien dólares y me parece que la batería quedó a deber. 2. BUGS Y FUNCIONALIDADES INÚTILES El botón Magic está muy bien pero tiene muchos defectos. Por ejemplo, no reconoce si laa playlists que añadas están en aleatorio y las termina reproduciendo por default. El conectar dos parlantes con la app me parece genial pero dudo mucho que alguien lo vaya a usar del todo. Con la app de Ultimate Ears no siempre puedes conectarte al aparato y en esos casos debes encenderlo manualmente. Hubo una vez que el aparato no respondía a la conexión y, debido a que la caja no incluye un manual de instrucciones, tuve que buscar en internet para ver cómo lo reseteaba por defecto. Resumiendo: Buena calidad de sonido, buena potencia y buena resistencia al agua. Mala distribución de la carga y mal sistema de conexión. ¿Vale la pena comprarlo? Depende de cómo lo quieras usar. Si pretendes usar un parlante para un uso más doméstico y disfrutar de la música en una calidad de sonido decente, este es tu producto. Pero si quieres algo más profesional o externo, puedes conseguir algo mejor.

DO NOT BUY: Ruined my relationship with ULTIMATE EARS :(
Color: Night Black
Pattern: Speaker
💗Let me start by saying before buying this product I have been a HUGE, longtime fan of the Ultimate Ears brand. I purchased the original Wonderboom portable bluetooth speaker maybe 5 years ago or longer? I originally purchased it because I wanted something waterproof that I could use in the shower. I
t was GREAT for that purpose, and also proved to be an awesome all-around portable bluetooth speaker. Sound quality was great for the price range and size. Volume was SUPER as well. I loved the big loop on the back that you could hang on all sorts of things. I LOVE the concept of the Magic Button in the center to Play, Pause & Skip. The Skip Feature is ESPECIALLY hard to find on a speaker in this price range and I love it for use at work when I may not be able to easily access my phone. Bluetooth connection was great. Battery life originally lasted anywhere between 4-6hrs at least which was great. THIS SPEAKER LASTED ME AT LEAST 5 YEARS with little to no change in quality. I LOVED THIS SPEAKER! Unfortunately, I left it at work one week when I was on vacation and just left it there figuring my coworkers could use it and would respect it enough. Long story short, I came back and it wasn't working as well or holding a charge properly. It was a sad end to a good story. 🔍Finally, I find myself in need of a new speaker. Because I LOVED my original WONDERBOOM so much, I decided to search within the Ultimate Ears line. ((It also just so happens at my current job our department owns two WONDERBOOM2 speakers! I've noticed their battery life doesn't work as well, but they still worked pretty decent.)) So I wanted one of the newest, nicest speakers in the Ultimate Family. The Hyperboom was too large to transport from home and work, and cost way more than I was looking to spend, so that was out of the question. So immediately I decided to research between the BOOM3 & the MEGABOOM3. In conclusion, through reviews I read I concluded that most consumers felt the bass was overpowering for the Megaboom3 with no real volume increase, and simply diminished the quality of the sound. SO, I DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE BOOM3! 1️⃣🆕First impression out of the box, it looked nice enough. I preferred the more compact design of the Wonderboom, and DEFINITELY missed the larger, more practical loop. It still has the magic button which is a HUGE selling point to me and very accommodating. I charged it up to 100% and decided to unplug it and test it out for a while at home. It worked well, sounded almost exactly like the Wonderboom as far as sound QUALITY. I might be wrong but as far as VOLUME goes I feel it may have had the same volume limitations as the original Wonderboom, if anything maybe SLIGHTLY louder. However, I was happy it seemed to be fully functioning and worked just as well as my other one. I also liked that in addition to that, I was able to use the Ultimate Ears app in conjunction with the product to REMOTE START the speaker from my phone. Again, this is another HUGE selling point to me because I mainly use this product at work. It also has an EQUALIZER function which is definitely cool, although I don't feel like it's very accurate. It also has some sort of feature where you can set certain clicks on the Magic Button to play certain playlists automatically, which sounds cool although I never got to personally try it. All in all, it seemed like a good replacement at first. ⚠️🪫THE NEXT DAY COMES & HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEMS BEGIN. I come into work with my charger FULLY charged at 100%. I use Remote-Start on the app to turn on the speaker. The Remote-Start feature also displays the approximate battery percentage (by 10% increments) of the speaker. At this point, my speaker was at 100% charge. I used the speaker for between 1.5hrs<2hrs before it gave me the Low Battery warning for 10%. So, I put it on the charger and continued to let it play. It lasted maybe another 20minutes, before it died. Now this is VERY disappointing considering my ORIGINAL WONDERBOOM that came out 5+ years ago would last for 4-6hrs on FULL VOLUME without being on a charger. Not only that, but the ORIGINAL WONDERBOOM would ALSO last for a WHILE on the charger even when battery wasn't full. This was disappointing, but didn't seem like a crisis, just a bit sad. The next day, is when the BIGGER issue began. I admittedly forgot to charge my BOOM3 when I got home the night before, and then brought it to work. When I wake up, I charge it until I leave for 1.5HOURS! When I arrive at work, I charge it for an additional 1HOUR before, checking the battery percentage on the app which reads 60%. So, I decide to turn it on and use it while STILL LEAVING IT ON THE CHARGER. NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES GO BY UNTIL THE SPEAKER DIES!!!!!!!!! So, irritated I turn it off, opt for my AirPods and leave the speaker to charge for a few hours. I let this SPEAKER CHARGE FOR 4 MORE HOURS BEFORE USING IT. Finally, I check the battery on the app which only says 40%????? So I turn on the speaker and leave it plugged in, IT LASTS FOR LESS THAN ONE SONG BEFORE DYING! LET ME TELL YOU, THIS SPEAKER BROUGHT OUT PURE RAGE IN ME AT WORK. 🪫⚠️ 😡I feel so pissed, and cheated and ripped off. I was such a big fan and advocate for the Ultimate Ears brand, but how are you gonna sell me a NEWER, MORE EXPENSIVE speaker and MAKE IT SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Considering this is the BOOM3, I WOULD HOPE & ASSUME IT IS GOING TO BE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL WONDEBOOM FROM 5 YEARS AGO, BUT I GUESS NOT. Thanks, Logitech, just charge me more money for a FAR INFERIOR PRODUCT, with the illusion that is going to be somewhat improved. However; this speaker is simply, for my needs- UNUSABLE & FRUSTRATING!!! HUUUUUGE DOWNGRADE 👎 😢Very, very disappointed in the Ultimate Ears brand for putting out this one. Like I sad it really is a shame because I was a HUGE supporter of their brand and unfortunately this product was so disappointing and frustrating that it has ruined my relationship with this company for good. I loved the convenience of the Magic Button with the Skip Feature, the portability, durability, great waterproof technology, super big, useful loop, the sound quality & volume, and the battery life of ORIGINAL WONDERBOOM, but this product has ruined all that unfortunately. ⚠️DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SAVE YOUR MOMEY 💸 BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO RETURN IT & REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER SPEAKER!!!!!!! THIS SPEAKER IS NOT FUNCTIONAL! ⚠️ Sorry, Ultimate Ears, but do better.

When I lost my old Boom 2 I decided to upgrade to this Boom 3. It was really simple to connect as I already had the app installed. It's got really great full bodied sound for such a little speaker! (just like the Boom 2 did) The fact that it's waterproof really made using it out by the pool, or at th
e lake, a stress free experience. Two thumbs up! The only thing that makes no sense sense to me is why it still uses the old mini USB instead of the new USB C. Maybe it's a voltage thing? I don't know, but I really think they should have updated that. That being said, it's got great battery life so far.

Outstanding Customer Service! And a great speaker !
Color: Night Black
Pattern: Speaker
I had the speaker for 9 months and it had a power/charging issue on a Saturday and shut down. I contacted the company on Monday, and spoke to Zaniah. I told her it would not charge and I tried all the steps: changing the power cord and adapter, switched outlets, etc. Within 10 minutes she emailed me
the claim instructions. I had the information back to her in an hour and received the new speaker Friday morning. Zaniah emailed me daily with updates on the status. Absolutely excellent response from the company! Totally recommend the Boom-3 speaker as not only does it sound great, but the company stands 100% behind their product.

I bought 2 of these to add to the 2 Boom 2's that I already had. These are awesome. You can pair 100+ of these speakers to 1 source. They hold a chage for a full day of use. Sounds awesome even after coming out of the pool. I will definitely be adding more soon

I bought this product because it was highly rated by my son. He has one and he told me the songs on my phone would be crisper if played on this device. I have great songs on my phone & great respect for his opinion so I bought it. He was right: the device is awesome.

Best on the market I have found.
Color: Lagoon Blue
Pattern: Speaker
By far best bluetooth speakers I have for the money, about 5 years now I use these for my Catering company and Food Trucks. Tried others in the same price range and they all had issues, this is my favorite. I have some from the original hangers and so happy with this new speaker, plan on getting more

Can't be happier with the ease of use and the sound quality of this speaker! At first I felt the battery died a little quick even when I wasn't using it and it was shut off but it has definitely gotten better and lasting a lot longer. Great product!

So fast on shipping out another one when 1 of 2 didn’t work
Color: Lagoon Blue
Pattern: Speaker
I found wonderboom at target on clearance and I should have bought them all. When it wouldn’t take a charge anymore I looked to upgrade. My bf wanted one too because he was so impressed with my old one. So we upgraded to the boom 3, got 2. One was perfect the other didn’t charge. Such easy replacemen
t from Amazon, got it the next day. This one is perfect. You can pair them together to get stereo sound. The sound is phenomenal, pairing is so simple. One of the best speakers out there. I have chosen it over Bose everyday, and I am a Bose girl. If you want immense sound and need it to be easy get any of the wonderboom products. The app is new to me and I need to work with it but I use my Amazon music on it and just party like it’s 1999 in my bathroom getting ready for work. Get the warranty, which I didn’t but should have because when it decides to not charge you will be sad and anxious for a new one. I have had my 1st one for 5 years, I dropped it, regularly and no problems. I use it in the bathroom next to the sink because it is waterproof. The charging dock I haven’t seen it really charge yet, but I could be doing it wrong. But the cord is easy peasy. I love my boom 3 and will stick with Ultimate ears for years to come. You can pair I think up to 20 with the boom 3. I can’t imagine how awesome that will sound. Hope this helps. You will love it.
