It’s been not even 10 month and the speaker is dead. Whenever I try to put it on charge it just says ‘charging battery’ but won’t charge. Not sure where do I show it so it can be repaired. Been using Ultimate Ears speakers from long time but my last 2 purchase experience is not good. Seeking help if anybody can let me know what to do. Just losing my trust from this brand

💗Let me start by saying before buying this product I have been a HUGE, longtime fan of the Ultimate Ears brand. I purchased the original Wonderboom portable bluetooth speaker maybe 5 years ago or longer? I originally purchased it because I wanted something waterproof that I could use in the shower. It was GREAT for that purpose, and also proved to be an awesome all-around portable bluetooth speaker. Sound quality was great for the price range and size. Volume was SUPER as well. I loved the big loop on the back that you could hang on all sorts of things. I LOVE the concept of the Magic Button in the center to Play, Pause & Skip. The Skip Feature is ESPECIALLY hard to find on a speaker in this price range and I love it for use at work when I may not be able to easily access my phone. Bluetooth connection was great. Battery life originally lasted anywhere between 4-6hrs at least which was great. THIS SPEAKER LASTED ME AT LEAST 5 YEARS with little to no change in quality. I LOVED THIS SPEAKER! Unfortunately, I left it at work one week when I was on vacation and just left it there figuring my coworkers could use it and would respect it enough. Long story short, I came back and it wasn’t working as well or holding a charge properly. It was a sad end to a good story.
🔍Finally, I find myself in need of a new speaker. Because I LOVED my original WONDERBOOM so much, I decided to search within the Ultimate Ears line. ((It also just so happens at my current job our department owns two WONDERBOOM2 speakers! I’ve noticed their battery life doesn’t work as well, but they still worked pretty decent.)) So I wanted one of the newest, nicest speakers in the Ultimate Family. The Hyperboom was too large to transport from home and work, and cost way more than I was looking to spend, so that was out of the question. So immediately I decided to research between the BOOM3 & the MEGABOOM3. In conclusion, through reviews I read I concluded that most consumers felt the bass was overpowering for the Megaboom3 with no real volume increase, and simply diminished the quality of the sound. SO, I DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE BOOM3!
1️⃣🆕First impression out of the box, it looked nice enough. I preferred the more compact design of the Wonderboom, and DEFINITELY missed the larger, more practical loop. It still has the magic button which is a HUGE selling point to me and very accommodating. I charged it up to 100% and decided to unplug it and test it out for a while at home. It worked well, sounded almost exactly like the Wonderboom as far as sound QUALITY. I might be wrong but as far as VOLUME goes I feel it may have had the same volume limitations as the original Wonderboom, if anything maybe SLIGHTLY louder. However, I was happy it seemed to be fully functioning and worked just as well as my other one. I also liked that in addition to that, I was able to use the Ultimate Ears app in conjunction with the product to REMOTE START the speaker from my phone. Again, this is another HUGE selling point to me because I mainly use this product at work. It also has an EQUALIZER function which is definitely cool, although I don’t feel like it’s very accurate. It also has some sort of feature where you can set certain clicks on the Magic Button to play certain playlists automatically, which sounds cool although I never got to personally try it. All in all, it seemed like a good replacement at first. ⚠️🪫THE NEXT DAY COMES & HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEMS BEGIN. I come into work with my charger FULLY charged at 100%. I use Remote-Start on the app to turn on the speaker. The Remote-Start feature also displays the approximate battery percentage (by 10% increments) of the speaker. At this point, my speaker was at 100% charge. I used the speaker for between 1.5hrs<2hrs before it gave me the Low Battery warning for 10%. So, I put it on the charger and continued to let it play. It lasted maybe another 20minutes, before it died. Now this is VERY disappointing considering my ORIGINAL WONDERBOOM that came out 5+ years ago would last for 4-6hrs on FULL VOLUME without being on a charger. Not only that, but the ORIGINAL WONDERBOOM would ALSO last for a WHILE on the charger even when battery wasn’t full. This was disappointing, but didn’t seem like a crisis, just a bit sad. The next day, is when the BIGGER issue began. I admittedly forgot to charge my BOOM3 when I got home the night before, and then brought it to work. When I wake up, I charge it until I leave for 1.5HOURS! When I arrive at work, I charge it for an additional 1HOUR before, checking the battery percentage on the app which reads 60%. So, I decide to turn it on and use it while STILL LEAVING IT ON THE CHARGER. NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES GO BY UNTIL THE SPEAKER DIES!!!!!!!!! So, irritated I turn it off, opt for my AirPods and leave the speaker to charge for a few hours. I let this SPEAKER CHARGE FOR 4 MORE HOURS BEFORE USING IT. Finally, I check the battery on the app which only says 40%????? So I turn on the speaker and leave it plugged in, IT LASTS FOR LESS THAN ONE SONG BEFORE DYING! LET ME TELL YOU, THIS SPEAKER BROUGHT OUT PURE RAGE IN ME AT WORK. 🪫⚠️
😡I feel so pissed, and cheated and ripped off. I was such a big fan and advocate for the Ultimate Ears brand, but how are you gonna sell me a NEWER, MORE EXPENSIVE speaker and MAKE IT SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Considering this is the BOOM3, I WOULD HOPE & ASSUME IT IS GOING TO BE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL WONDEBOOM FROM 5 YEARS AGO, BUT I GUESS NOT. Thanks, Logitech, just charge me more money for a FAR INFERIOR PRODUCT, with the illusion that is going to be somewhat improved. However; this speaker is simply, for my needs- UNUSABLE & FRUSTRATING!!! HUUUUUGE DOWNGRADE 👎
😢Very, very disappointed in the Ultimate Ears brand for putting out this one. Like I sad it really is a shame because I was a HUGE supporter of their brand and unfortunately this product was so disappointing and frustrating that it has ruined my relationship with this company for good. I loved the convenience of the Magic Button with the Skip Feature, the portability, durability, great waterproof technology, super big, useful loop, the sound quality & volume, and the battery life of ORIGINAL WONDERBOOM, but this product has ruined all that unfortunately.
⚠️DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SAVE YOUR MOMEY 💸 BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO RETURN IT & REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER SPEAKER!!!!!!! THIS SPEAKER IS NOT FUNCTIONAL! ⚠️ Sorry, Ultimate Ears, but do better.

My honest review for this speaker is: Portability and Loudness even in outdoor is excellent. And speaker can also place in standing position on table which is great. But, when it comes to sound quality: I like “JBL Flip” over this “Boom” though boom have option to equalize sound through mobile app. Mids & Treble is excellent but Base is average (not talking about high base but base quality). And there is no USB C and Bluetooth 5.0 at this price which is disappointing. One thing I realy like about this speaker is it doesn’t distort even in 100% volume sound.

A Real Boom Boom BT speaker like its name Boom 3, loud clear with amazing audio immersive 360 experience.
Fills the room even my Living Hall. So damn good for indoor use with half volume.
Great for outdoor experience for any scenarios.
UE app available both on iOS n android. Easy instructions and Eq selection’s with custom option available.
Bluetooth connectivity really good for iOS devices as well as android. Low latency. Range upto 45m.
On Standard Eq it really sounds audiophilic when played from original audio source like Apple music, Spotify and Amazon music.
Video with music provided if heard with Headphones maybe will be able to appreciate but still what you hear won’t be final as it’s totally different from real experience.
Overall an excellent choice as BT speaker for the price as well as personal use. Good Sound Quality and Good Connectivity and really Loud one with no distortions.

Amazing product. I was a Boom 2 user before. After serving me for 2.5 years it died. The Boom 3 has improved a lot when compared to Boom 2. If you are used to the UE sound signature you won’t be dissappointed in these. The battery life is amazing too. Overall a great product for the money.
The cons are not a major deal breaker, This product never goes on sale. So if you want to save some money better wait for the credit card bank offers. Also it would have been real nice to see Type – C update for the speaker. It will help in future proofing.

Llevo tres meses utilizando el BOOM 3 y me parece pertinente hablar de sus características. Empecemos por las cosas buenas:
1. CALIDAD DE SONIDO Es necesario resaltar la calidad tan excelsa de sonido que tiene este parlante. Los entendidos sabemos que la conexión por Bluetooth acarrea pérdida considerable en la calidad del sonido. Sin embargo, he de decir que el BOOM 3 me sorprendió sobremanera: agudos y medios en su punto y los bajos, aunque poco notorios y exagerados, son cómodos y audibles.
2. VOLUMEN Y POTENCIA El BOOM 3 es ideal para aquellos que quieran utilizarlo en una habitación pequeña o en una reunión o fiesta. Esto es así porque puede llegar a ser discreto y a la vez muy potente sin llegar a afectar demasiado la calidad de sonido.
3. WATERPROOF No he testeado el parlante sumergiéndolo de lleno en agua, pero se ha llegado a mojar levemente y hasta el momento no ha presentado problemas.
Llegó la hora de hablar de lo malo:
1. CARGA Y BATERÍA Si bien es cierto que la duración de la batería no es el fuerte de este aparato, uno esperaría más por algo que cuesta más de cien dólares. Hay aparatos muchísimo más económicos que tienen una carga más duradera independientemente del uso. Si usas el BOOM 3 discretamente, la batería puede durar más de 10 horas non-stop. Pero si usas el BOOM 3 con el volumen máximo, la carga solo te va a durar cuatro o cinco horas (a menos que lo uses mientras esté conectado a la energía). Se entiende que se hayan decantado por un uso más discreto y se hayan enfocado en un parlante que provea una calidad de sonido óptima, pero repito: este parlante cuesta más de cien dólares y me parece que la batería quedó a deber.
2. BUGS Y FUNCIONALIDADES INÚTILES
El botón Magic está muy bien pero tiene muchos defectos. Por ejemplo, no reconoce si laa playlists que añadas están en aleatorio y las termina reproduciendo por default. El conectar dos parlantes con la app me parece genial pero dudo mucho que alguien lo vaya a usar del todo. Con la app de Ultimate Ears no siempre puedes conectarte al aparato y en esos casos debes encenderlo manualmente. Hubo una vez que el aparato no respondía a la conexión y, debido a que la caja no incluye un manual de instrucciones, tuve que buscar en internet para ver cómo lo reseteaba por defecto.
Resumiendo: Buena calidad de sonido, buena potencia y buena resistencia al agua. Mala distribución de la carga y mal sistema de conexión.
¿Vale la pena comprarlo? Depende de cómo lo quieras usar. Si pretendes usar un parlante para un uso más doméstico y disfrutar de la música en una calidad de sonido decente, este es tu producto. Pero si quieres algo más profesional o externo, puedes conseguir algo mejor.

I just got this yesterday and so far I like it alot. The sound quality seems very good. Charging via USB seems a bit slow but I will receive the charging dock tomorrow and assume that will be much better.
I thought the description said it works with many music apps. It seems to work only with Amazon Music and iTunes, neither of which I use any more. I use Spotify and it does not sync to that, but not a problem for me– I simply control it from my phone.
I like the look of this speaker and its small size makes it easy to place in a room or outdoors. Overall, I think it’s excellent!

I’ve been using this speaker for a month now, and I have to say, it’s an amazing piece of technology. To start of with the pros: •Crystal clear – It has amazing, clear, sound quality, which holds clarity at both, high and low volume. The sound is well balanced, not favouring either bass or treble. (Disclaimer: my ears are a little sensitive to treble frequencies, so this gets a little harsh for me at louder volumes, but I’ve asked a few other people and they said it’s properly balanced) •Robust – This thing is super robust! Apart from the shock absorbing pads along the edges of each side, this thing can take a fall. After dropping it from a height of almost 2 feet, the speaker which seemed like it should’ve atleast cracked under the weight, was unaffected by the fall. •Waterproof – while I haven’t dunked the speaker in water before writing this, it has been caught it sprinkles a few times, and it’s definitely assuring, knowing that water won’t affect the speaker’s life. •Wireless – Being wireless is a huge convenience which makes using this guy really easy. Along with the app that comes to help change settings on it, it’s also got a decent range, provided there aren’t too many obstructing surfaces.
Now Here’s a few of the cons that I was a little disappointed by: •No aux functionality – I know they do not claim to have an aux option in the description, but I was still bummed to find that this didn’t even have an aux function, meaning I had to use it w/ Bluetooth at all times, which leads to my second point… •Battery life could’ve been better – Now while it does have a very good battery life for something so loud that runs on Bluetooth (it could’ve been nice to have aux functionality to help that), it does run out after 12-15 hours of continuous use, especially at higher volumes. It may seem like a lot, but that only adds up to 3-5 sessions of use before you have to charge again. The app does let you know exactly how much battery you have left so you don’t need to keep guessing, but it’s still only a minor inconvenience if anything. •Easier to drop than most other speakers – there is a texture provided for better grip, but the speaker being a huge cylinder that doesn’t fit in your hands doesn’t help. There is a hoop of fabric provided to attach a carabiner to, but it would’ve been nice if they provided one.
To conclude, this is still one of the most ‘value for money’ Bluetooth speakers out there, with amazing clarity and volume; and if you’ve got a bunch of friends who own Ultimate Ears’ gear as well, the party mode is sick as heck. Cheers!

This speaker is absolutely a crazy gadget(full value for money). Nothing negative about this beast.(except micro usb) The battery back-up is ridiculously awesome. (full charge in 5hrs)+(12hrs playback time). The bass is great. Haven’t been able to use its full volume till know as it is insanely loud. You will get a microusb cable in box ,no adapter. Height of the speaker is 18cm,and width is 7cm(highly portable). Probably you will not use it’s centre playlist button unless you have an iOS phone.(deezer is not yet available in india, for android) The ways it tells the battery left is the most satisfying part of speaker.(press the volume + – button in one go) And you might also not use its charging dock as it has to be purchased externally which cost around INR4k. A simple one word for this speaker is – BEAST. Keep the usb cable carefully as other usb cable will not get inside or either they will break or bend due to the rubber flap of the speaker as it keeps pushing downward. Hope it helps. Peace 😇, Ashu 📝

•No aux functionality – I know they do not claim to have an aux option in the description, but I was still bummed to find that this didn’t even have an aux function, meaning I had to use it w/ Bluetooth at all times, which leads to my second point…
•Battery life could’ve been better – Now while it does have a very good battery life for something so loud that runs on Bluetooth (it could’ve been nice to have aux functionality to help that), it does run out after 12-15 hours of continuous use, especially at higher volumes. It may seem like a lot, but that only adds up to 3-5 sessions of use before you have to charge again. The app does let you know exactly how much battery you have left so you don’t need to keep guessing, but it’s still only a minor inconvenience if anything.
•Easier to drop than most other speakers – there is a texture provided for better grip, but the speaker being a huge cylinder that doesn’t fit in your hands doesn’t help. There is a hoop of fabric provided to attach a carabiner to, but it would’ve been nice if they provided one.
To conclude, this is still one of the most ‘value for money’ Bluetooth speakers out there, with amazing clarity and volume; and if you’ve got a bunch of friends who own Ultimate Ears’ gear as well, the party mode is sick as heck.
Cheers!
Anuroop –
The media could not be loaded.
This speaker is absolutely a crazy gadget(full value for money).
Nothing negative about this beast.(except micro usb)
The battery back-up is ridiculously awesome. (full charge in 5hrs)+(12hrs playback time).
The bass is great.
Haven’t been able to use its full volume till know as it is insanely loud.
You will get a microusb cable in box ,no adapter.
Height of the speaker is 18cm,and width is 7cm(highly portable).
Probably you will not use it’s centre playlist button unless you have an iOS phone.(deezer is not yet available in india, for android)
The ways it tells the battery left is the most satisfying part of speaker.(press the volume + – button in one go)
And you might also not use its charging dock as it has to be purchased externally which cost around INR4k.
A simple one word for this speaker is – BEAST.
Keep the usb cable carefully as other usb cable will not get inside or either they will break or bend due to the rubber flap of the speaker as it keeps pushing downward.
Hope it helps.
Peace 😇,
