Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Powerful Sound + Thundering Bass, Bluetooth, Magic Button, Waterproof, Battery 20 Hours) - Lagoon Blue (Renewed)

I admit that I invest significantly into "audiophile" equipment and read way too deep into the HeadFi or GearSlutz forums for my hardware insight, but where many of them shun Bluetooth speakers as a whole, I think this is a solid product.Audio Quality:My use case is setting this up on a table or on the grass outside during bbq's, swimming pool hangouts, smoking around the fire pit, etc. It works wonderfully for this. Audio quality is great, better than the equivalent Bose units that many of my friends have (they agreed as well) but also with the benefit of being very omnidirectional. It sounds good in any 360 degree angle from the speakers. To add some reality, these won't sound as good as even cheap bookshelf speakers mounted on your patio in your backyard but then again, it isn't claiming to be that. The sound is completely acceptable for what it's trying to be.Build Quality:I haven't tested it in any extreme environments so far nor have I tested its IP67 waterproof rating by chucking it into the pool, but I've left it out playing during a rainstorm and it never had a hiccup. The device itself feels very solid with a bit of heft and it's fallen over and been knocked around by the dogs enough that I trust its durability. The battery life is also insane. On average I think I charge it once a month if that. If it's a particularly social time of year, I might charge it once a week.Ergonomics:This is what really impressed me. When turned up, it sounds like a speaker much bigger than it is but it still manages to fit in my backpack with room to spare. I can ride my bike or motorcycle with this in the backpack while barely weighing me down. It's the reason I bought this vs its bigger competitors. The button layouts are easy to understand and easy to use. Turning on the speakers and playing music takes less than a few seconds. Syncing another phone doesn't take more than holding down one button and waiting a few seconds for a beep.

I would recommend these speakers. They are plenty loud enough for around the house and have a nice clear sound. I’ve got two of them and run them in stereo using my iPhone.

Awesome sound, easy to hook up with Bluetooth and very durable. Highly recommend.

Liked the compact size with great sound, no dislikes at all. Use it every time I go fishing in boat!!

I would buy new. The sound quality isn’t as good as other Wonderbooms I’ve bought new. Isn’t as loud as smaller versions I’ve had. Does have a crackle when sound is turned up.

We keep this one under the gazebo most of the time, and like other Ultimate Ears speakers, delivers great sound in a small package.

I purchased this item on 8/5/2020 and received a few days later. At first I couldn't say enough about it. Everything seemed to be in order. No marks or blemishes and it synced up immediately. Sadly, the past 2 weeks, a mere 6 months after purchase and I noticed that the speaker was cutting out every 5-10 minutes for a period of between 5-35 seconds. At first I believed it was incoming message alerts on my phone. However, as it continued to occur I looked further into the interruptions.I discovered that it had nothing to do with the incoming messages, so I then began to test it out on different devices. Syncing them to the speaker and finding that they too were having the same interruptions. I then checked to make sure there were no updates for the app and or speaker and found they were all up to date. That now left me to presume the speaker was malfunctioning.I attempted to return the item for repair/replacement but found it was no longer eligible to do so. I then wrote to the seller for advice only to not receive any response or assistance.Bottom line save your money. These appear to be simply a toss of the dice as to whether you will get your money's worth out it. I have been a big proponent of the quality of products and services that Amazon supplies. However, in this case they have sadly missed the mark.
