Just purchased this speaker and my god.......its like night and day from my cheap portable. I have it paired to my MSI GE66 Raider for when I'm gaming and it just fills any room I'm in with great sound. I can live with the micro-USB as they've never really given me any issues, though a USB-C would have been nicer. Great unboxing!

[@sgtcote1]

Thankfully, I purchased this speaker for its portability, battery duration, and overall sound. Who cares about how you charge the device. We all have old devices that require the micro USB plug, so what's one more. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the many hours of listening enjoyment I'll get from my wonderboom 3.

[@karlirvinpertez3984]

Sir in wonderboom 3 has 3 kinds of sounds of battery level like high, medium, low?? Like wonderboom 2 has 3 kinds ,i wonder cause my wonderboon 3 only High And medium sound has no low battery sounds when im checking in the red light situation of wonderboom 3..do you think this is defective??

[@ninarhuether]

Do you know I locate the serial number of the Wonderboom 3? I have a defective one and need to identify the correct device for return.

[@vananho3947]

what different about sound with wonderboom2 ?

[@m_smart]

but the question is.. can you pare it with the wonderboom 2?? ( And yes. WTF still no usb-c)

[@v666fromhell6]

Wonderboom 3 looks identical to the Wonderboom 2. Micro USB option could be to keep the cost low? Not too sure why that is.

[@elizabethmolnar4643]

Is there an indicator that showes battery levels?

[@reecefreedman8979]

Will there ever be a review on the UE drops

[@Vulphus]

Been waiting for this to launch so that I didn’t have to mess about with micro-USB… genuinely shocked that it hasn’t been addressed. Also curious as to why they haven’t bothered to move to USB-C with the new European regulations? Baffling.

[@theCRYSISgamer]

The most underwhelming “Upgrade” ever

[@John-dv1uy]

Probably because Europe isnt the center of the world thats why.

[@Vulphus]

@@John-dv1uy I don’t live anywhere near Europe and I’m not exactly Euro-centric anyway. I suppose my point was more around essentially every other popular device aside from this and recently the iPhone 14 refusing to budge. I don’t particularly care where the regulations are coming from since there is so much common sense around it.

Micro-USB in 2022.. LOL Also dose it pair with the App this time...? Not mentioned in the review.

[@tsic5219]

Can you pair the Wonderboom 3 with a Boom 3 or any other speaker made by UE?

[@supersavytechguy8001]

Nope

[@ibaTien]

Nice review, thank you, but i stopped in the middle of it. No USB-C is the only reason I'm not buying this speaker. Bad decision from UE. Looks like they didn't want to invest in an old concept since this speaker was firstly announced to be released in 2018. So probably more of wonderboom 3 is going to be old dated tech. Now I have to buy JBL flip 6. Can't wait until wonderboom 4 is out.

[@yxuen3051]

how is flip 6's soundstage performance comparing to boom 2?

[@Trevex-UnKown]

Besides being old tech what's so bad about micro usb? Does it maybe lack higher charging speeds?

[@JayBrown-xs9ps]

Exactly, people seem to hate it with a passion

[@wilsonliowweicheng]

I saw somewhere sell wonderboom 1 for 29usd is clearance stock, should I just take it or choose the latest one?

[@supersavytechguy8001]

Take the original for the price, the difference is minimal, or if you can find the 2 for under 50, that'd be the best of both worlds

I’m used to the UE Boom 2 but currently don’t have the budget for the latest UE Boom. Would this be a decent enough replacement. Only talking about the sound. Mostly use it at home. Thanks.

[@evanlawrence9476]

It would be better, old ur speakers like the booms never had enough bass and always sounded hollow. This sounds better and better the more you turn it up and sounds like it’s packing double the speakers it has. That’s what i think of the wonder boom 2. Now i have my wonder boom 3 on the way

[@accentontheoff]

@@evanlawrence9476Great thanks.

[@jamiekcho]

This won’t daisychain with the older models I heard. That’s also a downside

[@accentontheoff]

@@jamiekcho Can I connect two at the same time in separate rooms, using Bluetooth, to my iPad.

[@karlirvinpertez3984]

Can i ask if they can pair to wonderboom 2?

[@wilsonliowweicheng]

I do Google search for this question, 1 and 2 can pair each other but the 3 only can pair itself 🤔 I hope is not true....

[@7towers777]

It's true 3 can only pair with 3

[@kalebhylton9446]

more interested in the hyperboom 2, which will aparrently come in a white option. this is just the wonderboom 2, but with longer battery life. not worth.

[@jaredgreen760]

the hyperboom is amazing, just a lack of portability is what pisses me off. that's why I love the wonderboom. this is a hyperboom is not exactly portable is an understatement. I think it's heavy as s***. you can clip it to nothing. if you clicked it to your backpack you'd fall over

[@thatfpvdude8408]

Is this louder than a flip

[@bryanmiranda6674]

How the hell do they put this crap out into the market with Micro usb? I am done with UE for the near future.I have been waiting for the to upgrade their speaker line up for a long time now an they come out with this turd.When i saw Wonderboom 3 i got exited but for no reason.

I bought set of 2 first gen wondebooms four years ago on a sale for 80 pounds. Still working and I have no reason to upgrade them. I am very satisfied costumer.

Dammit. I didn't know it was micro USB. I'm gonna cancel my order.

[@abhinegi1007]

IT WONT BE RELEASE SOON HERE IN INDIA

[@EdwardSchwartz27]

It would be better not to be released at all... it's a g@rbage... literally a wonderboom 2 with different and horrible color schemes. I'm pretty sure that there were left extra pieces from the wonderboom 2 and made an "upgraded" version... it's what Apple did with the Iphone se 2020 that was made out of the extra pieces left from the Iphone 7. I'm also pretty sure that wonderboom 3 has the same battery and they just modified the 13 number with 14 to make it sound better on paper.

What and f ing joke, ive been waiting 3 years for this. Usb c, wireless charging, microphone. Boom... done! Thats all they had to do. The 2 had the worst micro usb port ever too, it's so finicky on all 3 I've had, one was unusable quickly and I returned it. The fact that you omitted usb c in late 2022 after all this time is insane, and they should be compatible with the woderboom 2, it's the same f ing speaker. I'm soo mad, I take my 2s with me paddleboarding constantly, and would use them even more if they weren't such a pain in the butt to charge, ihave to use the rubber plug underneath the cable to push the cord up a little on both of the ones I still have. F U Ultimate Ears! I'm seriously so sad, I just wish it still didn't exist, this is like the wonderboom 2.00000001
