Sounds great, Bought as a gift and the sound filled the whole room

Look no further for a portable speaker, this speaker has more than enough sound power to make any occasion a fun experience, the easy to navigate app makes it easy to control it and the feel of the outer surface is of a high quality making it my favorite portable speaker.

Excellent sound Great quality. I purchased this as a gift for my son. He’s happy.

Product is good. When turned up all the way bass can get distorted. Good product other than that

I was recommended to get these speakers since I like to blast music loud! Especially when I’m cleaning the house. You can adjust the quality of the sound through an app and turn on/off the speakers through the app as well. So much to say, in other words I highly recommend these speakers!! Won’t regret, I know I am happy with mine *smiles*

Amazing quality bass on the speaker, my husband And me love this speaker!

I now have 4 high end BT speakers in the $200-$300 range, they all have strengths and weaknesses. The Mega Boom 3 is the lightest of the bunch at just about 3 lbs, nearly half the weight of any of the others, which weigh in between 6-11 lbs. Then battery life, the Megaboom 3 claims 20h, this is probably true if it's running at 25% volume, as you crank it up it will decrease battery life. 20h in a 3lbs package is truly impressive, my only other speaker that has 20h weights almost 9lbs. The megaboom3 comes with a pretty good size power brick (see picture) USB to micro USB connector. The back of the speaker has a rubber door to hide and protect the micro USB connector. With the USB door closed the speaker is IP67 waterproof (submersible) not just water resistant - wow; probably the best choice for your fishing boat, or paddle board. I'm not aware of any other speaker this size that is Waterproof. The speaker can also be charged with a (sold separately) charging pad (~$40 "PowerUp"). Given the size of the included power brick this might be a nice to have, but I didn't test with it. The speaker also has a nice woven loop towards the top so you can attach it to something. Volume; this speaker can get quite loud, easily my first or second loudest speaker, easily filling a 25'x18' room, maybe uncomfortably. But it really excels outdoors. The 360 degree sound, sounds better to me outdoors than inside. The Speaker includes an app to control it via Bluetooth, from a LONG range, I tested to over 100' no issues. The app also includes a 5 band graphic equalizer, which I found very helpful. The app can pair to with up to 150 UE Boom/Megaboom speakers, could be a lot of fun at a big beach party. Speaking of party the app also has a DJ function that allows you and 2 other friends to connect to the speaker(s) at the same time - pretty nice for a party. The app has a few pre-programed EQ curves, which I didn't find particularly useful/accurate -so they could improve these. SPeaking of improve the speaker's firmware can be updated from the app, so "things could change". The app can import play list from iTunes and Deezer, but no where else (for now). It can also show you your iTunes library/cover art - kind of nice, and it can control the volume from the app. This speaker does not have any fancy lights, only 2 led's on the top, to let you know it's on and to let you know it's in pairing mode (no problems pairing with my iPhone or my wifes andriod phone). The speaker does not have a RCA mini jack (my only speaker without this) so your going to use it with BT. Sound quality... not first or second of what I compared it to. The mids and vocals are not as brilliant or well pronounced as some similar BT speakers, The highs sound like other UE speakers, due to the 360 degree sound the highs are supposed to be reflected in all directions, but this, in my mind is only partially effective. The depth of the bass when cranked up, certainly over powers the mid-range. Used indoor this is particularity noticeable, moving it outdoors really improves the speakers sound. I'm not saying this speaker sounds bad, it's just not as crisp as I'd hoped to hear. When used at lower volumes, like in a dorm room the sound is pleasant but the highs won't impress you. I did some side by side listening with the first Boston album, it was punchy but not airy, I missed the preciseness of their strings throughout. Bringing the speaker outdoors, and moving away from it, it had a better balance. So like I said there are some compromises, this is not the best sounding speaker, but its not bad, and has many other features that may wow you. I missed the RCA connector but was impressed by the app, weight and battery life. It's far more portable than what I compared it to, so depending where and how you might want to use it, it may be a nice fit.

My son loves it, the sound is very loud and clear.

Great device! Durable and very loud. I love it! Best portable speaker I’ve had yet.

GREAT SPEAKER. I OWN TWO OF THEM AND THEY SYNC UP AWESOMELY,

I've had this speaker for a couple of days now and i've been very impressed with its performance and build quality. This speaker was extremely easy to setup, especially with the app and I was up and playing music in a manner of minutes. It came about 20% charged, but Im not sure how accurate that was given the fact I plugged it in after it prompted me to update the latest software and after the update, it was at 72%. The update took less than five minutes, so it couldn't have charged that fast, but I will keep an eye on it. The bass is indeed incredible for a speaker of this size and it also does a good job of not drowning out the treble and didn't really have any distortion even at louder volume levels. I found the app to be extremely useful in pairing my devices, setting up custom equalizers and probably my favorite feature of setting up one touch playlists. This feature basically allows the speaker to immediately start playing your favorite playlists when the speaker is powered on an connected to your device. You can save up to four playlists and you can skip them using the app or by pressing the magic button on the top of the speaker. There are really only three buttons that you will use once your device is paired. The volume up and down buttons on the front of the speaker and the magic button on the top. Im still learning the commands for skipping tracks, playlists, etc, but generally the magic button is easy to use. I found the sound to be filling and powerful overall, especially for a smaller speaker. I set it on my kitchen counter and played several different songs and they all sounded excellent with this speaker. Before I received this speaker, my favorite unit had quickly become the JBL PK5, another ultra portable bluetooth speaker, but now I'm torn between that one and this one. The clarity is better on the JBL, but the overall blend of strong bass and quality sound are better on the MegaBoom 3. My wife and I buy houses to renovate and rent as a second source of income, so portable speakers are great for those days spent laboring over painting, drywalling, etc. My only issue now is to decide whether I will let her use the UE or the JBL. I think for my type of music and usage, the UE is the better speaker for me. She primarily listens to podcasts so the vocal clarity in the JBL will be better for her. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be the charging cable and brick. Most people will use this while out and about, so a white charging brick and cable isn't ideal. I would have preferred black, but all other things being equal, this is a minor complaint. This is my first UE speaker and I definitely am a fan. I would certainly recommend this speaker.

Is calling your speaker “Megaboom” a boast or a challenge? I can certainly confirm that this soda bottle (40oz) sized speaker represents a modern day version of the 70s Boom Box . . . with the really big sound and none of the weight or size hassle. I’m a big fan of these Bluetooth speakers which have emerged to project and amplify all that music we carry around on our phones and tablets. Price-wise, the Megaboom 3 fits right in the middle of this field of high performance speakers. Sound-wise, it delivers competitive sound and a unique approach to filling a space with music. The Megaboom 3 leaves out the light show but adds App control, 360 degree sound, a useful equalizer, and some sharing features that are just fun. With it’s fine music performance, it rises to the top of this field in its price category. And it’s SMALLER (8.8” x 3.5”) than you’d expect, LIGHTER, (WATERPROOF (IP67), and CUTE (opinion of the crowd)). The Megaboom 3 offers useful features. The App manages your Playlist, lets you power up the speaker at a distance, provides a 5 band EQUALIZER and other features. (In order to get at the features, I needed to select at least one PLAYLIST in my iTunes account). The App manages adding other speakers (lots of them) or sharing DJ duties (letting others pair to this speaker). Bluetooth connection was quick (to my iPhone 6). The speaker’s top center button and the nearby power button control everything important. The giant +/- buttons you see on the side of the cylinder control volume; no fumbling here. Pressing both at the same time speaks out the battery level. I tested music quality with my playlist, which includes 6 decades of pop, rock, R&B, folk, country, jazz, electronica and whatever new category appeared yesterday. Voices were all nicely presented and instrumental detail was very convincing. The equalizer gives you the control to enhance bass or voices or whatever you prefer. The Megaboom can easily fill a large space, and is quite at home in the middle of the party. In fact, you shouldn’t worry at all about how you orient this speaker. It was outstanding at distributing a balanced sound in all 360 degrees. I know lots of speakers claim to have wide dispersion; none do it better. In some ways this may contribute to my original feeling that volume might be a (slight) bit lower than some competitors which only deliver significant volume in one direction. But none of the competition sound as good from the sides or behind. The Megaboom has made a commitment to 360 sound. Where you locate this speaker is less critical in a large space. I have no trouble recommending the Megaboom 3. This is a fun speaker.

It a good speaker without a doubt, but unfortunately it was not exactly what I expected. It was suppose to sound very loud and it didn't. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the expectation for it's size. I've heard louder from smaller, I feel like I paid a little too much for it. Smh

Amazing wherever I go! Sound quality is unbelievable; design is beautiful; portable and powerful!

My purchase was worth every penny and be sure to include the protection plan !

I love mi speaker, the best purchase in my live always happy

This is my second “Boom”. I have already used a BOOM2 for a while now and really like it. I have never used the “Party Up” feature before and was really excited to try it out. So this review will cover the MEGABOOM3, the Power Up charging dock and the Ultimate Ears app to control the two devices for Party Up. MEGABOOM3 –Do you know this is waterproof (IP67)? This paired to my phone effortlessly (Android Oreo). The sound quality is better than my BOOM2. The bass is significantly stronger. And although it is larger (see pictures) it is not too big in my opinion. Using the volume controls on the speaker work perfectly. Of course you can also use the app to control the volume. These speakers are durable and are perfect for use outdoors. I think they also sound better outdoors compared to indoors. The sound quality is on the bassy side as expected. Many will find this appealing. I found it was a little too much and this took away from the mids and highs. You can also play this very loud. The Bluetooth connection is strong and I kept a connection to the speaker up to about 100 feet away. Using the APP – In the Playstore (sorry do not know about the Apple experience), you will see a MEGABOOM app. DO NOT USE THIS ONE. It will not work. There is and Ultimate Ears BOOM and MEGABOOM app that works perfectly. You can control the volume, use different EQ settings (including a custom one you can configure) and PARTY UP. There is also a DJ feature that I did not use. PARTY UP – As I now had two UE speakers I was really excited to try this out. Once I had the correct app, I was off to try this new feature. I found when I paired my BOOM2 first and then added the MEGABOOM3; I was successful most of the time. If I paired the MEGABOOM3 first and then the BOOM2, I was often unsuccessful. A little frustrating at first. But once I figured it out, this was not an issue. Using the BOOM2 and MEGABOOM3 at the same time was a perfect balance. I could place the speakers apart from each other and fill a large size room very well. Even better when you are outside around the fire. They say you can connect 150 plus UE speakers. I know two works perfectly. I cannot imagine what 150 connected speakers would sound like. Power Up charging station – honestly, charging my Boom 2 was an inconvenience as I needed to plug it in and turn it upside down to charge it as the plug is on the bottom (the MEGABOOM3 plugs into the back near the bottom). The Power up comes with the charging base, AC adapter and charging D-Ring (for BLAST and MEGABLAST). This charging dock can be used for: BOOM3, MEGABOOM3, BLAST and MEGABLAST. You use the charging cable and AC adapter from your speaker. It works very well. I love the convenience of just placing it on the dock to charge! I wish it worked with my BOOM2. Final thoughts – the UE MEGABOOM3 is mega-bass. Overall the sound quality is good and loud. The sound quality is good and most will be happy. The features set it apart and make it a pick over many others - you can pair it with other UE speakers; it is waterproof; and you can connect it with up to 150 other UE speakers. My BOOM2 has been abused multiple times (dropped, left in the rain, etc.) and keeps on working. I recommend this to those looking for a Bluetooth speaker.

Sounds great! You can turn it on and off remotely from your Android or iPhone. It is very tough, and no sand gets stuck in it when I go to the beach. The party feature is great! (It will have connectivity problems when the speakers are on the ground for some reason) I can look past that though. I love that Ultimate Ears supports their Boom line of speakers for the party function. I will be happy to purchase the new Megabooms when they come out!

The UE Megaboom 3 is the latest version of the Megaboom Bluetooth speaker from Ultimate Ears with a flatter top panel and dual-tone fabric. The speaker comes in two colors at Best Buy Black and Blue. The speaker itself is Big, but will fit in your backpack and is light enough to carry around easily. It’s now IP67 rated, which means it’s dust proof and waterproof in up to three feet of water for 30 minutes, it also floats. This means you can put it in the pool while still playing music! The charging port has been repositioned, so you can charge the Megaboom 3 upright. You can dock it on the optional wireless Power Up charging stand which you purchase separately. A full charge will give you up to 20 hours on medium volume, louder and that will decrease. I really like the “Magic Button” - You can play and pause songs with a single tap, skip tracks with a double tap, and, with a long press, select a playlist. You use the Ultimate Ears app to set up multiple playlists, and you can also skip through them with more long presses. For iOS, you can import playlists from Apple Music or Deezer if you use Android. Other features such as PartyUp (link up to 150 Megabooms or Booms) and Stereo (Two Megaboom 3’s) can also be controlled through the free app. Its Bluetooth range is much better than previous UE speakers (specs say 45m) This speaker sounds great loud without over modulating. The Megaboom 3 has an enhanced passive radiator to give deeper bass with a better lower mid-range giving it a fatter sound. It can easily fill up a large room. If you want a great sounding waterproof speaker with fun additional features and a great look you will love this one.

This was a good buy, I didn't know anything about this product. After purchasing I took it home and red the set up instructions.
