Nice!! A versus video between this wonderboom 3 and the jbl flip 6 would be very interesting

[@Lee-xy6ms]

Agreed LuisFer When and if you do a comparison depending on time, etc. Looking forward to it if you put together a one on one comparison. Cheers, ✌️

[@Park-mane]

Yes please good idea great vid

[@theCRYSISgamer]

It’s literally almost the exact same device. And that pisses me off😭

[@kanodourden]

Definitely that comparison !!

😂😂😂

[@Paul-iu3eu]

Not sure why people are hating on the charging cable?? The sound is great - isn't that the main factor when looking to purchase such an item?? Anyway I love mine!!

[@terminaldeity]

Micro USB connections are notoriously bad and far less reliable than USB C.

[@Doggieman1111]

Great teardown, thank you. Interesting that the driven elements are at angles to the entire speaker.

[@SynCoz3]

I just got wonderboom 3 because of it's price tag. Everything is perfect for its cost (clear and loud) but it lacks of bass punch and not usb C charging. If you are bass lover then just avoid buying this speaker, But if you listen to soft listen cafe music then this would be a very good choice for purchasing.

[@MindyBeee]

Whattttttttt I just bought this 😢

[@seb5542]

You're always going to have issues like that when you're buying something this cheap, although the micro USB is definitely inexcusable in 2022-2023 no matter the price. The main issue causing there to be very little bass is that it has very small speakers, that will be the main limiting factor. Because it's small.

[@simonwale6993]

Putting the speaker next to the wall(or some object) improves the Bass.

[@christianmcbrearty]

Thanks for the tip!

[@YtyFv-sf2xx]

Yes

[@garryh3126]

What does it matter 😂 It's the sound that's important not the charge cable

[@haledragon1]

Bro, I have had wonderboom2 for 3 years plus now, if it breaks I'd buy wonderboom 3 no doubt in my mind , micro USB so what mine has never failed. Good video.🤟🤟🤟👌👌👌 What music player are you using?

Instant no buy from me for micro usb in late 2022.. very sad

[@6mariooo235]

this guys are wierd for not going to usb c its wierdd

[@SevenCostanza]

with micro USB you plug it in and it charges. with usb C you plug it in and it charges. why does it matter.

[@jphzazueta]

@@SevenCostanza because it's an outdated port. At this point, even cheap Android phones come with usb C ports. Having a speaker with a micro usb port means having to deal unnecessary with an extra cable. At first, I didn't think much about that (when usb C was just starting to become a standard port), but through the years I've realized how practical it's to have all your devices charge with the same port. I love, for example, that my work laptop chargers via usb c, so I never bother bringing my phone charger to work, I just use the same cable to charge both devices.

[@Grubbet]

@@SevenCostanza All my cables are usb c now. I can grab any cable and any device and charge it. I couldn't if I got this.

[@SevenCostanza]

@@Grubbet so then you were complaining when USB C first came out? Because it would have been different than you're other cables right?

[@propane1777]

Huge issue with the micro usb, massive mistake from UE. There are much better available from both Soundcore & Tribit in the same price range

[@user-so2rh9om6y]

Just returned the mini pro 3 it was good but for 50 basically it’s not all that

[@rjw7227]

But you still use apple products and their proprietary cables right?😂

which models of these 2 brands would you recommend ?

[@baileyhernandez3220]

On the control +of speaker you can press it until it stops and that means full volume

what is that device youre playing music from

[@Jack5822]

If like to know how this compares to creative's Muvo Play. Creative is a little smaller, but same size main drivers. They are also both 20 watt. Creative's Muvo Play is only smaller because the bass is vertical firing, not horizontal.

[@genivaldofonseca3702]

Ela tem auto falante específico para os soms agudos?

[@rabbithole8592]

I actually did miss those buttons. It took me a little while before I realized they could be pressed. Lol

[@shaktastik]

😂 I understand what you mean.

[@vijay1700]

Is there ANY way to put auxiliary port to this speaker? If yes, make a video on that...I think no one has made one yet.

[@rainmanhuang1117]

How many hours can wonderboom3 play in outdoor mode max volume? (I can use only about 2.5hours in max volume,is this normal?

[@janetblackler4036]

Me too. It was 3 hours max. Now it's 2 hours. Only 6 months old. Certainly not the 15 hours that was a part of the promo speel

[@tapetwo7115]

Is the battery life bad beacues of stereo pair? or is it bad on it's own? @@janetblackler4036

[@Out2theIndoors]

I dont know, i'm just not a fan of "360" speaker(s)..i feel like "360" speaker always sound like they're facing away all the time. As if it never sounds like stereo speakers but always mono for that matter. Hollow, or not all there...idk, just my opinion.

[@natedogeee2904]

What decibels does it put out?

[@hendersonbermudezalpizar9931]

Buenas amigo... como te va con este wonderboom 3? Me explico... anteriormente usaba 2 wonderboom 2 y funcionan de maravilla, ahora compré 2 wonderboom 3 y fatal al momento de conectarlos al bluetooth doy play en mi reproductor de musica y no se escucha doy pausa y vuelvo y nada, al rato doy play en mi reproductor y funcionan normal, es tedioso estar en eso... y he usado 3 reproductores diferentes y lo mismo pasa y tambien probé con otro smartphone y lo mismo... repito con los modelos 2 nunca me dieron ese problema y llevo 2 años con ellos y van genial... agradezco si me ayudas que puede estar pasando?

i just received mine and its honestly very disappointing. the sound is tinny and no crispy. it's not true to it's name sake either...there is no boom. bass is extremely lacking. complete piece of overpriced junk. my reference points are my Bose Revolve and a Sony srs-xb20, both which are quite old yet sounds a lot better than the wonderboom. can't recommend it at all.

Don't you understand. It's ment like... I wonder where's the boom. The name is perfect.
