I think I know more about the specs than you guys but you where so honest about your review and relaxed that I kept watching. so nice job. Lol I’m just messing with you guys . It was good to get your perspective. I have the old one and I think I’m going with the jbl xtreme next. Was gonna get the boombox 3 but maybe too big 😊

[@techiedoodledoo]

Haha, thank you! We went ahead and purchased the JBL PartyBox 110 during black friday, as the pricetag was very similar to the UE Megaboom 3, so now we'll have a "portable speaker" the size of a minifridge 😂

i still have my Megaboom LE from 2018. still works, no issues. don't think I should even bother upgrading lol

[@bighoss7437]

I got 2 of the old ones, still working so not upgrading 🙂

[@grantsutcliffe7507]

I have the mega boom 3 I have the equaliser Bass 0.7, 0.9 Mid 1.4 Treble 1.9, 2.1👌👍👍So Glad I bought it

[@infernonine]

It has less battery because it’s always polling for a connection from your devices. That gives the app the ability to turn it on and off from the device.

[@steveburton9242]

You can replace the battery in the old one for quite a reasonable price.

[@dudeymcduderson]

I'm just upgrading from the original boom that I've had for 8 years. The battery has totally conked out, it'd be good if you could replace the battery because everything else works fine. Seems a shame to be getting rid of it.

[@dannysantos2149]

I’ll buy it off you

[@PremiumUserUltra]

You can...

[@dudeymcduderson]

@@PremiumUserUltra how??

[@BryanMiraflor]

there's a video of some dude opening it and replacing the battery. totally doable.

5:36 in English it's called 'Burn In'

[@PremiumUserUltra]

The drivers are higher quality on the old ones

[@techiedoodledoo]

Thank you. That does makes sense. The price for v3 is the same as v1 when it was new (at least at our location), and since the cost of a lot of components have increased significantly lately, it would probably not be possible to create something of the quality of v1 for the same price now a days. I guess Ultimate Ears had to cut the cost by choosing some cheaper parts.

The UA Megaboom3 was my first BT speaker. I needed one quick and didn't have time to shop around. It's just OK, and I feel that the JBL Charge3 sounds better. The only reason I didn't get the JBL at the time is that the stupid JBL has no clip or loop that you can hang a clip from! And the UA does have a loop. I take it to volleyball every week, and hang it from the net. C'mon JBL..... where's the loop?

[@WaterFlame957]

Is y'all's accent German, Swedish, Dutch?

[@techiedoodledoo]

Norwegian 😎

[@BigDanTeague]

​@@techiedoodledoosorry that wasn't one of the options given

[@raphysoucy83]

I wouldn’t never been able to guess. Hello to Norway people!!

[@anthony31232]

[@techiedoodledoo]

Thank you 😊

[@rene4060]

[@TheMirolab]

I made life slower in Norway. ....... God.
