Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3 - Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker in Night Black (Bulk Packaging) Review

Feeling! It's been playing for three days now and hasn' the declared water resistance is very important, sound bad, almost everything that is from medium-sized portable pieces

I bought a UE Megaboom 3 but received a UE Megaboom 1. Less discerning consumers are likely to be fooled as the design of these speakers hasn't changed much, but the quality, construction, waterproofing, etc. is very different. This could be a mistake, but it looks like the company is trying to sell cheaper similar products to customers who are paying for something better. Ouch!

With the name "MEGABOOM" one would think that there would be a significant improvement in the bass range compared to others. NOT CORRECT. I have a 6 year old Jabra Big Jambox bluetooth speaker that sounds better than this speaker. I have a pair of UE headphones and they are amazing. It was only with help that they were able to transfer this sound quality to their speakers. Sent back the next day so I can't comment on the battery.

Had to return 2 defective speakers. Both had issues with battery life, battery charging, and battery health. UE gave me factory reset instructions. It didn't help on the 1st block and didn't reset on the 2nd. The QC sticker is a joke. Apparently not a single device was tested before shipping. Both were marked as "new", the 2nd looked like "used". I work in equipment service. If many of the items I marked "ready to use" didn't work, I'd be out of a job.

Okay, first I should have noticed that this is from a third party, which makes me a little nervous. However, it is new and works perfectly. As for the product itself. It's good. OK. I've had the smaller version for years, haven't had to replace it but wanted to upgrade. There really is no difference between the one I bought six years ago and the one I have today. The bass is just as bad, but overall the product was cheaper than the third party so I'll probably keep it to myself. It's good…

Excellent sound and bass. Bluetooth is great. The battery, however. DO NOT charge this item. This will fry the battery. Otherwise the thing won't break. Virtually indestructible and resilient (won't scratch, scrape, tear or dent no matter what) and has settings you can tweak with the in-app audio mixer. I personally love this speaker but had to get a new one from customer service because overnight charging burned out my battery (DO NOT DO THIS). If you charge it for 30-45 minutes, it's almost…

This speaker is amazing. Has amazing battery life, amazing sound quality. The bass is amazing. The looks of this speaker are frankly very good. Definitely looks and feels like a quality speaker. As is the colour. It's bulk pack, which means it doesn't come in a colorful box, but I don't mind that. Arrived in a white box in a gray mailer. Inside there is a speaker, a micro USB cable, a power adapter and a small manual.

Update: Replacement arrived within a few days of the original, and the item was fully functional, in brand new condition and sounds amazing. Rating changed to 4 stars as there is no information on the manufacturer's warranty yet. First review: I purchased the speaker in the bulk box category and it arrived with the speaker blown out on one side, some minor stains, discoloration and marks on the unit. The speaker came with a QC Pass 120 sticker which indicated to me that this item had passed…
