#BOOM SPEAKER 3 BLUETOOTH#

The fabric also now has a mysterious iridescent quality, sort of like that custom paint job your friend got for his Prelude that looks like one color when you view it straight-on, but changes subtly at the edges when you walk around it. It's still waterproof, but it's finer and glossier. I miss the old, wanna-mash-em buttons.ДЄlso changed is the fabric that envelops the speakers. You can still find the volume-up button with a wet hand when you want to increase the intensity of your shower-time Hendrix, but the big plus- and minus-shaped controls aren't as easy to finger in the new design, and they don't feel as rugged. As such, the buttons are no longer chunky. The buttons are still there, but they're embedded directly into the body of the speaker, where they sit flush with the fabric wrapping. With this new design, that strip of rubber is entirely gone. One of my favorite things about previous UE Booms was the pair of big, chunky buttons that sat in a fat strip of rubber that ran down the length of the speaker. If that bothered you, well, that problem has been solved (and also please seek help). Of course, with the old Boom, one could just flip the speaker upside-down while it charged and leave the cable sticking straight up. This is a boon for Boom owners without a charging dock, as they can now plug in a microUSB cable to charge the speaker while it's standing up. Since the coupler for the Power Up is on the bottom of the Booms, the USB charging port has moved from the bottom of the speaker to the side, where it sits near the speaker's rubber foot. The new Booms share the Blasts' squared-off corners, and the compatibility with the Power Up charging dock accessory that debuted alongside the Blast line. The new Booms take some design cues from last year's Blast and Megablast, UE's pair of Wi-Fi-enabled speakers that came with Amazon Alexa onboard. Both speakers will ship in September to the US, Asia, and the lucky parts of Europe. The Megaboom 3 is $200, a whole $50 cheaper than the original Megaboom (yes, this is only the second Megaboom, but UE has named it the Megaboom 3 to keep everything matchy-matchy). The Boom 3 is $150, which is a $30 price drop from the $180 Boom 3.

The Boom 3 and Megaboom 3 have a refreshed look, slightly updated capabilities, and a new lower price.

Ultimate Ears has updated both of its cylindrical Bluetooth speakers. Value: it's a great value, but Bluetooth speakers can be found for less if you're willing to sacrifice qualityIf you're a consumer electronics brand, what do you do when your hit product-a best-seller and a critical darling since its debut-turns five years old? You buy it a new suit, of course. Style: black on black is classic, but some color options would've been nice (especially white for outdoor summer use) Sound quality: 10/10 (I own expensive Sennheiser headphones and don't notice a difference in sound quality)Д«ass: 10/10 (if you're not happy with the bass, hit bass boost and/or tweak the EQ through the app)ДЇunctionality: portable, waterproof, and huge battery it's perfect for a day at the beach, pool party, house party, etc. Volume: very loud, can be heard from outside my house at max volume (you could get noise complaints with this speaker), would work for a fairly large house party! Weight: light, could be help for extended periods I can hear this speaker throughout my entire house when I have the volume up! I would definitely recommend getting it over one of those tiny Bluetooth speakers with no volume or bass. The app is really cool as well, because you can choose an EQ or make your own.ДЇrankly, I'm blown away by the quality of this thing. It does all of this in a smaller package as well (see pic for comparison between this speaker, my old speaker, and a drink can). They are both Bluetooth, waterproof, have big batteries that can be used as battery banks, and they're both very loud.Д®xcept the Soundcore Motion Boom has much clearer sound and louder sound. I have an Aomais Go speaker that I've used for years that is similar to this Soundcore Motion Boom.

I bought this speaker on a whim and was kinda regretting spending the money until I got a chance to listen to it.
