Despite some initial connection issues which as suspected turned out to be finger trouble I find it is an excellent product and very stable in operation. I am now quite pleased with this unit and the fact that I purchased it. Just awesome.

We've been covering Ultimate Ears speakers for years. Their original BOOM speaker was great, and the evolution of those speakers, as well as the growing portfolio of designs in the lineup, continues to impress. Their latest, the UE MEGABOOM 3 is no different.

Great battery life; Amazing sound; Durable; Waterproof; Floats; Can be paired with dozens of other UE speakers; App lets you control sound and turn the speaker on and off; Magic Button is magical; Nicely priced

No 3.5mm input; Volume buttons look a bit religious

The UE Megaboom 3 has what you want in a portable Bluetooth speaker: good sound quality, long battery life, ruggedness and more.

Big bass and full vocals; Good battery life; Waterproof; Can pair with older Megaboom and Boom models for stereo sound

Big and heavy for a portable; No speakerphone

The good: - Clean and rugged design - EQ option - Detailed and well extended high frequencies - Gets loud - OTA firmware updates - Wireless charging capability The bad: - No bass below ~65-70 Hz so the sound is flat and boring (although detailed) - No aux input - No EQ if you don't use the app on a...

• Buy Megaboom 3 exclusively at John Lewis (until October) The Megaboom 3 improves on the winning formula of its waterproof, cylindrical predecessor, and is an excellent speaker.

Waterproof; dustproof (IP67 rated) and also floats; Improved controls and charging port; Excellent value for money; Loud; clear; bassy audio performance

If we're nitpicking; the sound is still good rather than great

It has very good sound in all ranges although bass is probably where it has its best sound i lisren to alot of metal and also hip hop it sounds great for both i have tried it with some old school club songs too it just sounds perfect

Just bought this & it's the best sound system I have come across-thank you ??

I bought this because I have been using and loving the original UE Boom speaker for a number of years and the big appeal is being able to link these together in the Party Mode and playing in different locations of my backyard and home at the same time. This thing is outstanding! First off it is big!

This is my fifth UE product in the last few years and as always the build quality is great, the sound quality is excellent and the battery last me weeks with 1-2h of usage everyday. The only con is that the "daisychaining" mode is sometimes finicky to start between the speakers.

The only think I really dislike is that the double-press to skip function is a bit hit and miss. I would rather just have an extra button than have the annoyance of it pausing instead of skipping.
