What customers say about "Key Specs"

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

The power of the speaker with 15W with a clear sound separating the highs and mids.
Excellent battery life lasting 20 hours, respected battery life with a volume up to 80% of the overall volume of the speaker.
Pairing Fast and stable bluetooth connection.
It's a very powerful speaker giving clear sound for movies and music.
Battery life is excellent and the time to full recharge is quite quick.

Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

The single speaker has more than enough power and its lightweight too.
If you are new to Ultimate ears speakers I think the app is fantastic and the party up feature that allows you to connect to multiple Boom speakers is amazing.
I'd connected to my Samsung phone, then easily connected to my MacBook. Connection is very fast and doesn't take much time.
Haven’t managed a reliable pairing with my boom 3 speaker either. It’s like playing vinyl that jumps on the turntable.
It looks like it stands ok on 30% volume but when i put volume around 60-70% the battery goes on critical immediately!

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

Small footprint - given the unique design of this, it takes up such little space on your desk.
Small and yet powerful. Great bass, quite cool apps.
Good sound for a relatively small unit.
It charged up and worked fine, sounded great for a small portable speaker.
The sound is awesome for a speaker this size and weight. Clear bass, and clean treble and mid-range that carry nicely around.

Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

The sound is very loud, it's rich and for its size packs some bass. It's so good I use it outside when having a barbecue.
It's fairly weighty but not excessively heavy and feels reassuringly solid to hold, as you'd hope given that it's designed to be used outside.
It's not too big and not too heavy making it very portable.
It’s amazing to carry into different rooms at home and it’s perfect for anytime. It's size fits any design and home interior.
It’s too heavy for me to throw into a bag for daily use because it adds extra weight and the bag gets a couple pounds heavier.

What customers say about "Features"

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

The seriousness and robustness of the manufacture.
Quality of the bass with an exceptional sound spectrum that prints, marks and buffers, giving an unparalleled dimension to the tracks listened to.
Almost perfect compatibility with all musical genres and especially those with well-marked rounds.
IPX7 waterproofing and the presence of a trap covering the ports.
All good. A powerful speaker to bring with you to any party.

Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Don’t bother getting the power up dock as battery life is excellent and the charge port is now on the side.
The controls are pretty straightforward, with a multi-function button on the top, and a large plus and minus button on the front face.
The speaker is supposed to be drop-proof from a height of three feet. I didn't dare try it from that height, but I did drop it on a wooden floor from around two feet and it was fine.
It’s waterproof too so you don’t have to worry if the rain catches you by surprise during a barbecue.
Doesn't have voice control Alexa which the more expensive does Megablast have.

What customers say about "Interfaces"

Ultimate Ears Megaboom Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Speaker

Brilliant speaker, great sound and volume. Amazing ports.
The phono and usb ports are protected by a water resistant rubberised piece.
Excellent location of ports and their number.
I love that it has an AUX jack.
Charges fairly quickly through the Micro-USB port. Convenient location of the port.

Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

The UE3 Megaboom is well over what I expected. Firstly, download the app, pair your phone, select your music and off you go.
The charging socket is a micro-USB so no need to worry about losing a cable.
A nice long USB cable for charging and looks very classy and sleek.
They removed the audio jack so now the only way to connect to the speaker is via bluetooth.
My one issue is that there is no aux in cable, so only Bluetooth can be used to play music.
