The UE Boom 3 is tough, with an IP67 dustproof (6) and waterproof (7) rating, it can hold up to life's adventures and its misadventures (i.e. being dropped into a pool or the water at the beach). It also floats (however not as much as the photos suggest) which is nice. The UE Boom 3 is definitely the tidiest looking UE Boom to date. With its properly 360 degree appearance and it's new and redefined (and reliable) 'magic button'. There's no AUX port like the previous model, but this would have been removed due to the lack of use. The hanging hinge is now a nice materialised hoop at the top of the speaker, and the micro USB charging port is located at the horizontal surface now, so no need to charge your speaker upside down like the old days (or on its side). The bass, however, is nothing impressive. The advertising would make it seem like it must be incredible, but in reality, it's not much short of disappointing, so bare this in mind when buying your speaker. Overall, the UE Boom,

Exactly as described on website, beautiful colouring, excellent sound will buy another to complete my set.

Great speaker for an affordable price. It's good enough for parties, chillin' at home or whatever occasion you need this for. Highly recommended.

Bought this for use at work, for the strength robust features and battery life. Sound quality is great Advertised at 15hrs battery life, mine barely gets 8hrs.

I bought this for my son. He loves it and uses it around the pool and while in the shower. It's a big improvement over the smaller model. Decent value for monet as it was on sale.

Love the sound, volume controls on the boom box, so easy to adjust. Adore the colour,

The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 is the latest version of one of UE’s most popular wireless speakers . It isn’t too big, or too small, and can play music super-loudly. Ultimate Ears has tweaked the design a little this time round, to make it cleaner and more stylish.

Great rugged features, Loud, clean “360-degree” sound, Smart-looking design

No aux input, Some rivals offer deeper bass and a better soundstage

Decent sound for the price but the battery doesn't last long at all.

It’s been a few years since we’ve looked at Ultimate Ears’ Boom speaker lineup — the company’s 2015 Boom 2 and Megaboom were both solid performers that have held their own for the past three...

The UE Boom 3 might not be the best sounding speaker around, but it makes up for that with a few useful features and an improved portable design that makes it way easier to bring with you wherever you are.

IP67 certification and floats, Portable bottle-shaped design, Connect to 150 other UE speakers via app, Wireless charging available with purchase of dock, Loud

Sound quality isn't great for the price, Wireless charging dock is separate, Even though the app is useful, it's still an app that you need to download
