Customer Ratings & Reviews

First and foremost, I love this speaker! Logitech's new line of Ultimate Ears doesn't disappoint. I've tried several bluetooth speakers that are waterproof, but this one is only the second one I've found that combines waterproofing design with awesome, fully realized sound. Right out of the box, the BOOM 3 is about the same size as my Echo Tap - maybe slightly bigger. Like the Echo Tap, the BOOM 3 can be charged by the supplied micro-USB cable or, as an extra purchase, Logitech's charging puck base. I held off on buying the charging base until I was sure that this speaker would be a keeper, but now it looks like it'll have to get added to my shopping list. In terms of design, there's a micro-USB charging port on the back, and the top has 2 buttons: The power button and the magic button. Admittedly, I thought the magic button was more of a gimmick than feature, but I've come to love using it. A quick press pauses and plays, a double-tap skips to the next song in your queue, and a long hold will move to the next playlist. I'll get to that last part below in the companion app part. The setup was quick and painless - and while I usually complain about having to download companion apps (because they tend to be bloatware), the Logitech BOOM app has something that I sorely missed in other speakers: a customizable equalizer! Part of the setup process included adding up to 4 playlists to the BOOM's quick play feature. Using the magic button, you can long-press and skip from playlist to playlist. Just to be clear - this isn't storing music on the speaker itself, there's not a hard drive or anything. It's playing the music from your paired phone. In terms of battery, I've used this thing for several days at an hour or two at a time and haven't worn it down. I decided to give this thing a test and use it in the shower and it blew me away! Using the equalizer option for "enclosed space", I can jam out in the shower to my kind of music without making the entire house listen in as well. Make no mistake - this thing easily kicks out the noise! You crank it up high enough and it'll get plenty loud. The only reason I rated this item as 4 stars was due to the lack of an Aux input - not a huge deal breaker, but would've certainly made this thing a home run in my book. The BOOM is priced around $150 - which is in line with more full-feature devices, like the ones from Sony. It's definitely not the cheapest speaker out there, but I've come to expect a certain level of quality from Logitech and the BOOM 3 is another solid product.

The Boom 3 is perfect for taking camping, to the pool or on a bike ride. It will fit very well in the water bottle slot on most bicycles. It's waterproof and if you happen to drop it in the pool or the lake it will float. It's a good on the go speaker. The Boom 3 can be controlled through the UE app, which will have to be updated for the Boom 3. Out of the box the Boom 3's treble is dull and lifeless. The app does have some EQ settings and a custom option, but it doesn't seem to want to stay on the custom EQ if you use it. I found it better to use a dedicated EQ app on my phone. With EQ enabled, the treble (highs) were much clearer and enjoyable. You can set up playlists and control that from the magic button on the speaker. The speaker itself is covered in a hard fabric covering, similar to the JBL Flip 4 and some of their other speakers. Has a loop to attach a carabiner, not included. Bottom of the speaker is a connector for charging from a docking style base plate, also not included. Boom 3 did move the micro-USB charging port from the bottom to the side, which is an improvement. No power brick included with this speaker, just a charging cable. Overall, this is a solid speaker. It's slightly larger than my JBL Flip4 and plays a little louder and with a little more bass capability than the Flip 4. $150 is pretty pricey, IMO, but you do get a solid, rugged speaker with solid battery life, good output and sound quality when properly EQ'd.

My kids love this new speaker. It has incredible sound with deep bass good for listening to any music. Very easy to connect to any Bluetooth. We did not encounter any issue. It is excellent that this speaker is waterproof since my teens will be using it a lot. I don’t plan to use this speaker near a pool, but sometimes it gets used in the bathroom where water or liquids may splash. The speaker has a hard casing but with a coat of rubber-like material with will help in getting a firm grip on the device when transporting. The size and weight are perfect to carry around. The battery life is excellent and will last for hours before needing a recharge. To conclude, my entire house loves this new speaker, and I would recommend it because of its excellent sound, this to any home.

This speaker may be small but you wouldn't be able to tell simply by listening to it. Its very loud for its size. My daughter is listening to it in the bathroom now while bathing and I can hear everything perfectly with the door open 3 rooms away. The bass isn't the best, but I didn't really expect it to be based on size. The sound quality is surprisingly crisp and clear, even when turned to max volume. It connected to my phone in a flash and the battery life seems to be decent, haven't tested the full 15 hour claim though so I cannot confirm that. Its waterproof also, which is perfect for taking to the beach or pool. I'd say its definitely worth the price!

Great immersive sound for a small speaker. This is my first time buying this brand, and any speaker not Bose. My Bose Color Link stopped holding a charge so I was looking for something that was waterproof, and max cost, $150. I wanted something small to take to the beach or the park for a picnic. This fits the bill, and I’m so glad Best Buy had a setup for this brand in store. It allowed me to really hear how clear it was, and definitely some bass without being so bassy that there’s feedback. I also appreciate how quickly and easily it connects. My Bose speakers I have will sometimes disconnect from my iPhone and that can be frustrating. Happy with this purchase.

This is my first UE speaker but I liked it so mucccccch! Qulaity of material used in it is super high, soft fabric all around the speaker gives a good grip. Cobtrols are accessible + & - workes pretty nice and by pressing both + & - you can check battery percentage and also you can check through Boom app on IOS and Android smartphobes. 3 buttons on top of the speaker, middle one is to easily sync playslist and play, pause and 2 presses to skip track and one side for power and other one for BT. Boom 3 promises to deliver 360 sound which very obvious when music is playing. Water proof and has floats when being sinking. Sound qulaity is as excellent as others out there in the market “high end speakers” ipI played classical, pop and alternative rock and it got impressed!

Excellent product. Small size and portable. It is also dust and waterproof. Excellent sound (360) when connected to spotify.

I have taken it kayaking twice so far. It has been submerged in the water and I’ve had no problems. I also take it with me while I’m outside working in the yard or sitting on the deck. It works and sounds great. I love the convenience of checking the battery level and being able to pause or skip songs from it instead of my phone while I’m kayaking.

After looking into different brands including Sony, Bose, JBL, ... , I came across this one with the help of a Best Buy employee. This is a high quality speaker with the clearest sound I’ve ever listened to. Unlike the rest, there’s no background noise or muffled sound coming out of it. In other words, the bass doesn’t mask the lyrics. If you want to hear the singer’s voice rather than boom boom boom alone, then BOOM! This is the right choice for you. Range-wise it resonates the whole house and the battery life will not disappoint you. Plus, it’s water proof!

So I bought this UE because I had a UE Megaboom 2 and it never disappointed the quality was awesome but after 3 years it stopped working so I decided it was time for a new one but I didn't want to pay so much money. When I bout the Megaboom 2 three years ago it was $300 and that's a lot so I opted for the normal UE boom 3 and to my surprise its LOUD I would say the same as my old Megaboom just with a little less bass but that's not a big issue for me. I also love that this one is more portable then my old Megaboom. Overall I would recommend especially if you want a speaker that is waterproof. I take this baby to the pool and kayaking all the time and it's a reasonable price 10/10

Pros: excellent sound for a small speaker. Over all volume won’t blow you away as why I bought 2 so we could pair them outdoors on the patio. Battery life is great, water proof is excellent for the pool, pairing from Bluetooth device with display (phone, iPad etc) works well using multiple speakers, with the app. Con: Owned TV isn’t Bluetooth so Bluetooth adapter purchased. Pairing 1 speaker with the TV is a piece of cake, getting the second speaker to pair with the 1st one, not using the app, has been unsuccessful. When using an outside device such as a phone or I pad to link the speakers, they then are tied to the phone etc, not the tv. Looking for some help to achieve linking TV to both speakers and it successful, would buy at least 2 more for big events, such as the Super Bowl. Recap: I am impressed with the product and still working through bugs.

Great Bluetooth speaker. The sound quality is exceptional for the size and the equalizer in the Boom APP helps to shape the sound for your environment. I chose the BOOM 3 because it floats and is waterproof so my wife can take it paddle boarding and not worry about it getting splashed or falling in.

Bought this little gem for my wife, for her new office. She loves it! Has great sound, and packs a punch on bass. I personally have the Mega Boom, which I've had for 6 or 7 years. Still holds a long charge (even at full blast) & sounds great; so I know my wife's Boom 3 will last. Especially love that we can sync the two together for either stereo sound in one room, or to hear the same music in two different rooms. Love UE products!

The quality of sound for the price is unbelievable. Being it is waterproof, wireless and Bluetooth compatible makes it more valuable for the price.

This speaker has 360 sound and is portable. The big plus and minus on the front is the volume up or down. The battery life on a single charge is 15 hours straight playing time. It’s waterproof and perfect for poolside or outside or anywhere you want crisp clear sounds of your music to be. I listen to mine when I’m in the shower, instead of watching tv, and to just enjoy my music. It’s a must buy for anyone looking for a great speaker!!!

I'm always on the go so having a great portable speaker I can take with me is great. I use it at the beach, pool, pickleball court and while fishing. Sound quality is great and had no problems pairing with my iPhone. I can also link to my other UE speakers for stereo sound.

With the easy to install Boom 3 app on my phone, I was listening to my playlists in no time. I still am not able to get it to sync with my laptop but it's not a high priority for me. Great sound out of this and with the equalizer in the app, it's easy to get different sound profiles depending on what you are listening to. Nice, small footprint not taking up too much room on my desk, workbench, or the vanity in the bathroom during shower time.

Love the Volume and quality on it. It has a good bass for the size. I'll say is the size of the Venti cup from startbucks. One night I forgot my Boom3 outside and the next morning was on a mall puddle, like sitting on water... I was surprise everything was working fine after. But even tho, I feel the price is too high for the product.

My husband was wishing we had installed speakers in our new covered deck and then he ran across these at Best Buy. The sound quatlity is good and they are simple to pair with eachother and with the iPhone. A much easier solution than having speakers installed in the roof! He even tossed it in the neighbors pool to see if they are really waterproof - and it's still working!

Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speakers have been the best. I have tried others and have had to return them and go back to the UE BOOM. I have bought them for all my kids for home and travel. We will continue to buy UE BOOM and highly recommend to all. Don’t spend the money on other brands. The sound, portability and durability is second to none. The fact that’s it’s waterproof is the cherry on top!
