Design The Boom 3 shares the same cylindrical shape as its predecessors, measuring 7.3 inches tall and 2.9 inches wide.

Its available in eight different color combinations, three of which are exclusive to Best Buy and one of which is exclusive to Target.

The round sides are completely covered in grille cloth save for a strip of rubber running the length of the speaker and ending in a fabric loop, and the top and bottom which are hard rubber.

Large plus and minus symbols sit on the front of the speaker, dominating the grille cloth opposite the rubber strip on the back, and serve as volume controls.

The top panel features a large, circular multifunction button (what UE calls the Magic Button), a smaller power button, and an indicator LED.

A micro USB port for charging sits behind a rubber door on the strip on the back of the Boom 3, and a cable is included.

The bottom of the speaker features a small indentation for charging without a cable, with the optional 39.99 Power Up charging base.

The speaker is also buoyant, so if you bring it into a pool it will float.

You can tweak the Boom 3s sound using the Ultimate Ears Boom and Megaboom app for Android and iOS.

It provides a five-band EQ with a variety of presets, and enables a few additional features.

You can use the app to set the Magic Button on the top of the speaker to play your favorite playlists from Amazon Music, Deezer, or Spotify.

The app also lets you connect the Boom 3 to multiple additional Boom 3, Megaboom 3, and Hyperboom speakers for simultaneous playback across all of them in party mode.

According to UE, the speaker can last up to 15 hours between charges, though that will depend on your preferred volume levels.

The Boom 3 has no microphone, so it doesnt function as a speakerphone and it doesnt support voice assistants like the UE Blast and the JBL Link Portable.

It can easily fill a room with sound, but it isnt quite the party driver its bigger siblings are.

At maximum volume, the kick drum hits in Fleetwood Macs The Chain sound punchy with strong low-mid presence, but they dont reach deep into the sub bass range.

Using the Bass Boost EQ preset in the app gives the hits a bit more force, but they still dont produce much palpable resonance.

They also dont distort, which is good, though this seems to be from digital signal processing (DSP) tamping down the lower frequencies at higher volumes.

Tracks with strong bass components should be listened to at medium to medium-high volume levels, since the bass simply doesnt increase past a certain point, which can make it sound flimsy at high volumes.

Yes Roundabout sounds full and balanced on the Boom 3, if not particularly capable of extremes.

The opening acoustic guitar plucks get a good amount of low-mid resonance and some higher-frequency string texture.

When the electric bass kicks in, it sounds poppy enough to maintain presence in the mix even without much low-end punch.

Vocals and drums float prominently over the bass, though the guitar strums fade slightly into the background.
