Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 review
The Megaboom 3 didn’t have to do a whole lot to build on the brilliant foundations set by its forerunner. It’s still rugged as hell, easy on the eye and gloriously noisy, while the low end enhancements make it easy to recommend. If, like this writer, you’re of the Apple Music persuasion, summoning playlists with the Magic Button is great, and I can see it being a popular feature for those who work out at home. It’s just a shame the Spotify crowd aren’t afforded the same privilege. The speaker feels nice in the hand, but I’m equally happy to fling it into my backpack without a care. For holidays, road trips, festivals and all-day picnics in the park, Ultimate Ears’ latest is a no-brainer. Booming brilliant.
Bassier than before; So very loud; IP67 makes it even more durable; PartyUp is a great (if a little terrifying) feature; Magic Button isn’t magic, but we’re glad it’s there;
No Spotify playlists; No USB-C; We miss the volume strap;
