Ultimate Ears has introduced BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3
portable, waterproof Bluetooth speakers with 360-degree sound, two-toned, high
performance fabric body. These also have Magic Button on top of the speaker to
play, pause and skip tracks directly on the speakers. These provide deeper bass
and improved clarity over the original MEGABOOM, says the company.
When paired with the iOS mobile app, you get
one-touch access to all of your favorite playlists on Apple Music, and the
Magic Button lets you access playlists on Deezer Premium on Android. Additional
music services will be added in future.
Thanks to new IP67 rating, the speakers are
water-proof, drop-proof and dust-proof. It has improved Bluetooth range up to
150 feet and are compatible with the Ultimate Ears POWER UP charging dock (sold
separately) for a simple, wireless charge, plus you can charge the speakers
upright thanks to the repositioned USB port.
The BOOM & MEGABOOM app also has PartyUp feature
and allows you to connect up to 150 speakers—as well as a custom equalizer
(EQ), and remote on/off controls, all in a newly designed interface. The BOOM 3
offers up to 15 hours of battery life and the MEGABOOM 3 offers up to 20 hours
of battery life.
The BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3 come in dual-toned colors:
Night (Black), Sunset (Red), Lagoon (Blue), and Ultraviolet (Purple) and are
priced at US$ 149.99 and US$ 199.99. These
are expected to be available in the U.S. and in select countries in Europe and
Asia in September 2018.
