Super-portable, super sound. Welcome to the Logitech UE BOOM 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker!
Ultimate Ears unique processing belts out clear and balanced audio regardless of the volume level. The 360-degree built-in sound is beautifully balanced, while deep and satisfying bass notes punctuate each track.
The two-tone fabric covering the speaker is great to look at, but it's tough as well. The textile has been designed for extreme applications, like motorcycle jackets and fire equipment, so you know it is built to last.
The toughness continues with the construction of the BOOM 3. It has survived more than 25 tough durability tests, including thousands of button pushes, tumbles, drop tests, and more. Party hard with a speaker that's even harder!
The BOOM 3 boasts an incredible IP67 water and dustproof rating. It can be submerged under water for up to half an hour, and when it comes back to the surface it will float, while STILL playing your favourite music.
One button on the BOOM 3 lets you play, pause and skip tracks directly on the speaker, while one push lets you control streamed music. You can even set up one-touch playlists for Apple Music and Deezer Premium via the app. That really is one magic button.
When the music stops, the party ends. Thankfully, the party goes on and on with 15-hour battery life! The BOOM 3 runs on the same battery technology as some electric cars, so it will go the distance as far as your party is concerned.

I've got some experience of various bluetooth speakers, I looked at reviews and went to my John Lewis store to test some. For all round performance across the music spectrum the Megaboom 3 was the best. I'm really pleased with it. It's great at background music and epic at pumping out party vibes.
• Buy Megaboom 3 exclusively at John Lewis (until October) The Megaboom 3 improves on the winning formula of its waterproof, cylindrical predecessor, and is an excellent speaker. It's actually only the second Megaboom, but as Ultimate Ears is also putting out a new Boom (a smaller sibling to this)...
Waterproof; dustproof (IP67 rated) and also floats; Improved controls and charging port; Excellent value for money; Loud; clear; bassy audio performance
If we're nitpicking; the sound is still good rather than great
The Ultimate Ears UE Megaboom is finally getting a refresh, and it's skipping a number in the process. The new model is called the Megaboom 3, keeping pace with the Boom 3 launched alongside it (the original Megaboom speaker was a contemporary of the Boom 2). It features a few new tricks, like a programmable button for accessing playlists, but otherwise it's simply a sleeker, more rugged version of its predecessor. That's compelling enough on its own, but with a $199.99 price tag, it's more affordable than the original Megaboom to boot. Big, Sturdy Can The Megaboom 3 looks like a slightly sleeker version of the Megablast and the original Megaboom. It uses the same large, cylindrical design (8.7 inches tall and 3.4 inches around, and weighing two pounds) as the rest of the line, with a colorful wraparound fabric cover (available in blue, gray, purple, or red) and rubber end caps. This time, the signature plus and minus volume buttons are placed in the middle of the fabric itself ra...

The first Ultimate Ears Boom was a landmark audio product when it launched back in 2014. At a time when Bluetooth speakers were just beginning to flood the market, it stood out with its 360-degree sound and rugged form factor. Soon after came the bigger, tougher Megaboom.
