Hi Adam, the price of 1 unit of Mega Boom 3 can buy 2 units of EarFun Uboom and when you put two UBOOM in TWS, the 360 sound projection is fantastic! The only drawback of Uboom is the battery capacity.
Great Review of a really great Speaker! One life hack: Put a rubber band around and it can hold that flappy thing without touching the cable when charging.
Great review & great speaker. Only issue I have is u can’t pair any of the smaller WonderBooms 1 or 2 with it. UE doesn’t have an app for the smaller WonderBooms. Bugger.
I don't like the colored bass. Sure, it gives the perception of bass below 80Hz but its an auditorial illusion, not only does it saturate the bass and kicks adding something that isn't in the original tracks but it lacks real weight and presence. Not a fan. I had the UE Megaboom 1 and it didn't do this particular trick, and I much preferred it. It sounded cleaner.
Thank you for your feedback. That's strange though, the UE Megaboom 1 is not supposed to be better than the Megaboom 3! Each person has a preferred audio profile. I am very happy with this speaker, but if you don't like it, then it's fine. Find the one that works for you.
@@WYSbyAdamLash Newer doesn't always mean better. A great example is the "new" KRK studio monitors, or JBL Xtreme 2 is more balanced and louder than the 3. Or UE add extra processing tricks to give their speakers a more appealing sound to the everyday person. Sound is widely subjective but if you listen to good speakers or studio monitors that don't color sound, or compare other speakers you'll notice what I'm talking about. In my opinion the ideal speaker should recreate the music as honestly as possible, within limits of a given size of course. But I feel like I'm more hearing the effect of the speaker rather than what the producer/musician/engineers have done. Other than a dip in the mids I find the JBL Xtreme to be very honest with music, albeit with a slight smiley curve on the EQ. But I prefer something like that than artifacts that are introduced into the sound to change the perception of bass, that can't be EQed out. Again, it's not something someone would notice unless they listen to higher end equipment in the home or car. Maybe I'm "audio elitist" but these speakers are the same price as the UE that objectively go for a less processed sound. Some think that sounds worse. To my ears it sounds closer to a real home system and less like a louder iPad.
The Megablast is the largest and loudest speaker available from the company. It’s marginally better but is more expensive, and the Megaboom 3 is only a small step down from the Megablast. The Megablast has a more powerful bass, but you won’t notice it that much compared to the Megaboom 3. I say the Megaboom 3 is more justified if there is a significant price difference. However, if you want Alexa functionality, then get the Megablast. All the best!
IMO, the Megaboom 3 is the better option because it has better bass and is larger (and louder) than the Boom 3. The Megaboom 3 also has longer battery life.
I would give it a 9 or 9.5 out of 10. As mentioned in the video, my only gripe is having Micro USB instead of USB C and the annoying flap. However, these problems can be ingnored if you use the wireless charging dock. Btw, Whathifi, which is famous for reviewing speakers, gave it a solid 5 out of 5. Check it out here: www.whathifi.com/ultimate-ears/megaboom-3/review Now remember, every speaker has a different audio profile, so make sure you listen to it before you buy it. While other speakers may have punchier bass, I felt they were distorted. This speaker has a solid, punchy bass and more balanced treble and mids. It's bass is more than enough, although its mids are a bit recessed. Good luck man 👍🏻
Hmmm that sucks. It should have lasted longer. I am not sure what the reason js, nor how to make it last longer. I guess turning it off when not in use would prolong battery life.
@@th-radio3568 With MEGABOOM 3 you can play, pause and skip tracks directly on the speaker. Just push for control of any streaming music. Or simply set up custom one-touch playlists for Spotify on Android, Amazon Music Unlimited, Amazon Prime Music, Apple Music and Deezer Premium.
Best speaker ALL AROUND.
Indeed

Ah yeah that is a drawback, I guess. But hey, if it's any consolation, at least you can pair it up with 150 Megabooms for the ULTIMATE BOOOOOOOM!
thanks for the video where do you get that color???

@@WYSbyAdamLash I appreciate the reply btw. I think it's important to be able to have conversations.
If you download the app you can change the equalizer settings.
Great reviews! When I close my eyes I think Tom Cruise is doing the review😅.
Hahahaha thank you 😊
How about megaboom 3 vs megablast any idea before buying one, that will be a big help for me… if you do so, thank you sir in advance 🙏

Cool review!
Thank you 👍🏻
What's the name of the colorway of your Megaboom 3 speaker?
Forest Green
I love it! 😍 Amazing review!
Thank you ❤️
What do u think about the JBL Flip 5. I got myself one yesterday
IMO, the Megaboom 3 is the better option because it has better bass and is larger (and louder) than the Boom 3. The Megaboom 3 also has longer battery life.
Great review
Thank you
have you tried it paired with a second one? would increase your experience probably
I haven't, but it should be amazing.
Did mega boom give you that speaker for it's review?
No, it didn't. I would mention such things if I received anything from any company or sponsor.
@@WYSbyAdamLash kk I was just curious
Which is better boom 3 or megaboom 3 for portable/ Waterpark. I did have the wonderboom one
Check out my other review of the JBL Go 3:

how did u get this clolor for megaboom 3.
Amazon
What's better megaboom 3 or charge 5
Haven’t tested that
Nice review ! I just bought it :)))
Enjoy 👍🏻
could you rate this speaker from 100% score, how much would you give overall? bass, trebble, clarity, ect everything
looks cool coz we can place it everywhere @ portable
@@randomguy36j98 absolutely 👍🏻

such a shame there's no mini jack input for my EWI! 😥😥😥
I had no idea what an EWI was until I googled it. You learn something new everyday! Thanks 👍🏻
I just bought it yesterday and it died after 4 hrs. On a full charge . So what can I do to make it last longer???
Hmmm that sucks. It should have lasted longer. I am not sure what the reason js, nor how to make it last longer. I guess turning it off when not in use would prolong battery life.
Listening to the sound of the speaker on the review is no better than listening to sound on my phone.
I guess you have to try it.
Cool display pic. Btw, I am THE BIGGEST Sonic fan.
@@WYSbyAdamLash HA! You’re comparing yourself to me? You’re not even good enough to be my fake!

That's normal. I experienced the same thing at times. Most bluetooth speakers exhibit the same behavior.

You need to give us the muzic you're listening there
Lol can't remember
Today I checked this speaker and spund is really bad, flat, no bass. I will send it back to Amazon.
No bass? That's strange. Well, I guess that's why I mentioned everyone has a sound profile. Good luck with your next selection.
@@WYSbyAdamLash next will be again Sony
if you like bass try soundcore rave
Thanks for your feedback
Inches please
3.2 x 3.2 x 8.75 inches
"it will float under water?? 😂
Lol it will float on the water
Does this speaker have a SD card slot?
No
…why would it have that?
@@fuckbagmartin1384 To play your own music mix..
That's why you put it on your phone....
@@Tanman96 I prefer the card slot it makes it easier for me to use my phone for other things.
The epicboom uses usb c
I have switched now to the JBL Clip 5 and will make a video soon.
mono?
This ia a very long commercial. You really need almost 14 minutes to advertise one flimsy speaker? really?
Flimsy? 🤣
