Smart and really powerful speaker: Ultimate Ears Boom 3

We are facing the third generation of these speakers Ultimate Ears, the Boom 3. Without a doubt, a really powerful Bluetooth speaker that is in the middle of the Ultimate Ears range, just a notch below its big brother, the Megaboom 3.

This new generation of portable and waterproof speakers Boom and Megaboom 3 They arrive redesigned on the outside and inside, add two-tone colored fabrics, are drop-tested and add a good handful of improvements compared to the previous version. We can say that they are not smart speakers but that is not a negative thing in this range of speakers from Ultimate Ears.

Design and manufacturing materials

The aesthetic change compared to the previous model is quite important and now the new outer fabric together with the new Magic Button, located in the upper part, with which we will be able to play, pause and change songs directly without having to search for the mobile phone is something that stands out in the new design and what they take from the brand itself.

The materials used for this new Boom 3 They are resistant to water in addition to offering buoyancy in case of accidental fall in the sea, in the river or similar, so they will always be safe. It has a cover on the back for the micro USB connector with which we can charge the speaker's battery and the set has an elegant design that combines with everything thanks to the great

They can be linked directly with several speakers at the same time Boom 3 and Megaboom 3, so we will have greater sound power and above all a superior audio quality. In this case, the improvements implemented in the speaker make us forget about other portable and submersible speakers on the market. These Boom 3 are available in various colors:

Connection and operation

It is really easy to connect these speakers to our iPhone. We simply have to use Bluetooth connection And voila, we can now enjoy the power of these speakers anywhere without the need for cables. To unlink the speaker and link it with another iPhone or device, we simply have to press the smallest button above the "magic button" and wait for it to blink, then we can connect another device.

Wireless charging dock and iOS app

This model can be charged wirelessly using a charger that puts our UE device. It is a charger base that is connected to the wall and when we leave the speaker on top, it charges without cables. This base called POWER UP, It has a price of € 40, It is much more convenient to carry the speaker with it but it is an accessory and therefore it is not included in the box. Using this way of charging can make the microUSB connector cover last a little longer, but it is not something that we have to buy yes or yes, that is up to the user.

On the other hand and for this new version we have the Boom & Megaboom mobile application, redesigned by Ultimate Ears for iOS devices. With it, users can access with just one click the complete Apple Music catalog with more than 45 million songs and all their favorite playlists. We can also customize the name of your speaker, adjust the EQ preferences andpay for the speaker directly from the app, something very useful in certain situations. The application is totally free and you can find it in the App Store.

Undoubtedly when we talk about smart speakers, Apple's HomePod, Amazon's or Google's speakers come to mind, but the sector of both smart and non-smart speakers is really very large and Ultimate Ears, the brand Logitech has been pushing hard with these types of speakers for a long time and thousands of users use their speakers despite not being smart. In this case we add a link to the Amazon store since these days the Boom 3 model hasa somewhat reduced price, from the 155 euros it normally costs, it goes on to cost 149 euros.
