Critic Reviews
UE perfects its Bluetooth speaker
9/10
The MegaBoom 3 is a great speaker. It does come with a steep price of $199, but that’s the same price if you look at JBL, Bose and Sony speakers. It’s par for the course when you’re in the market for a premium portable speaker.

Pumps out the tunes with ample bass
9/10
The new Ultimate Ears Megaboom is an amply capable speaker that is well suited for taking on the road, in small to large spaces. The durable exterior looks sharp, feels great, and is easy to clean should the need ever arise.

Solid sound and battery life, wrapped up in a great design

Despite being one of the biggest names in the party speaker space, Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 still manages to meet expectations.

Refining an already-great speaker

The UE Megaboom 3 doesn’t stray from the company’s tried and true formula but it doesn’t have to. The Megaboom 3 is one of the best waterproof speakers you can buy thanks to its rugged design, long battery life, and audio performance, plus the new DJ feature is a clever way to get your friends on the action.

Booming excellence

There might be a significant number of Bluetooth devices on the market these days but the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 continues to hold its ground as one of the best.

UE’s best Bluetooth speakers
They look good and are dead simple to use. Plus they have excellent battery life. Best of all, just because they’re brand new, doesn’t mean that they carry that “brand new” price tag.

New designs and some new capabilities

The Megaboom 3 has a refreshed look, slightly updated capabilities, and a new lower price. I have an original Megaboom that I was able to test alongside the new Megaboom 3, and I found the change in low-frequency response to be barely perceptible.

I have an original Megaboom that I was able to test alongside the new Megaboom 3, and I found the change in low-frequency response to be barely perceptible. There's a boost in the low end, but it's not dramatic—at least not with the default settings.
A floating Bluetooth speaker with plenty of style
10/10
A fun sounding Bluetooth speaker that has a more exciting design, a one-touch button to access your playlists on Apple Music and Deezer Premium, and will also float on water like the small Wonderboom did before it.

A refined design, new features and a great, punchy sound
10/10
There’s no shortage of weatherproof portable speakers, but Ultimate Ears has carved out a niche for themselves by combining great design and fun features with an entertaining sound. The Megaboom 3’s new playlist features, sleeker design and improved sound are definitely worth your time.

More life-proof, better looking, better sounding, cheaper
8/10
It's perhaps not a giant leap forward from the last Megaboom, but with improvements in every area, this is the best totally portable, waterproof speaker you can buy
