On the top, a new “magic button” has been added that you can use to start and pause music and to change tracks. The volume keys have instead been moved to the front, which both looks better and is a more sensible placement. This allows for an even more omni-directional sound. If you look closer, you’ll notice that the wide band on the back, where the volume buttons sit, has now become considerably narrower. What’s also new is that they float if you accidentally drop them in the pool. In fact, the new speakers are dust resistant and more resistant to wear and tear, while also being, as before, waterproof and shock resistant. Looking closer, they actually have a new denser high performance fabric, a material used in motorcycle jackets and fire equipment. They have been released in metallic red, black, blue and purple but, as with their predecessors, they will soon come in all sorts of colour combinations and patterns. Build quality and handlingĪt first glance, they seem very familiar with their round shape and size, easy to manage volume buttons and bold colours. But not everything was perfect, so now, happily, UE Boom 3 and UE Megaboom 3 have been released. We also appreciated that over the years the speakers have been updated with new features for free, something we’re not accustomed to with small speakers. This is because they combined a practical format, good battery life and excellent sound.
