That’s because it has 360 degrees of spatial sound, which can deliver its amazing audio in every corner equally. Let’s be totally clear – the Boom 2 gives exceptional sound quality, and maybe even better sound quality than many other competitive speakers in the market. If you’re keen on creating a ‘smart-home’, then it’s also an ideal add-on from that point of view. The charging dock is not only compatible with Boom 3 – it also can also charge Blast, Megablast and Megaboom 3. The charging dock doesn’t come with the product, but it’s a cool option/add-on for charging your music player that way. So UE also gives us new ways to charge the speaker. It means you can charge the speaker via Micro-USB and still use it in every way possible – it won’t tip over or cause you any inconvenience, like before.
#BOOM2 VS BOOM 3D FOR MAC UPGRADE#
But one very handy upgrade for UE’s fans is that the charging port is now placed at the back of the speaker, not at the bottom of it. Unlike Boom 2, its successor doesn’t have the old features like Speakerphone and Voice Assistant. Once you’ve established the ‘contact’ with your playlists, you won’t ever have to pick up your phone: Simply press and hold the Magic button and you can enjoy your music world as long as you want it. Programming it that way is super easy and the App will help you to get there. But what makes it really a ‘Magic’ button is that, if you press and hold, you can turn on the speaker, connect it to a smartphone or even access the four different playlists on your Apple Music or Deezer Premium accounts.
So, what is the Magic button? You can pause/continue to play the music simply by pressing and by double pressing, it will skip a song. Just like Boom 2, its successor has 15 hours of battery life and needs less than 2.5 hours to be fully charged. In terms of more playtime or less charging time, there is no upgrade from UE this time around. So they’re still water-resistant, and now UE is claiming its new model can withstand dirt as well as salt water, so it doesn’t matter if you’re on the ocean or in the desert, Boom 3 is almost indestructible and definitely has more durability than Boom 2. Boom 2 can float in water for 30 minutes Boom 3 can do the same, but, in addition, if plunged in water (up to a depth of 1 meter) it will immediately come back to the surface, where it will float. Featuresįirst of all, UE’s new Boom 3 and Megaboom 3 are IP67 certified, which means they’re even more weather sealed and water-resistant than their predecessors. To sum up, Boom 3 looks more solid than its predecessor. But weight won’t be a big issue, especially now that UE has added the Hang Loop, which definitely makes it easier to carry the speaker. Being slightly bigger in size means slightly more weight, so this time Boom weighs 608g instead of 548g. What about the dimensions? Well, there is no big difference between the sizes of these two: Boom 2’s dimensions (height & diameter) were 180 x 67 mm Boom 3 is a little bit bigger at 184 x 73 mm. Also, Cloud and Denim are Apple Exclusive colors, whereas Storm appears to be the Best Buy Exclusive design. While Purple seemed to be the color of choice for Megaboom, Blue seems to be the favorite for fans of Boom 3. We all know that Boom 2 came in a choice of many colors, and Boom 3 is currently available in seven attractive colors: Blue, Black, Red, Purple, Denim, Cloud and Storm. You can get a good idea of the new design for yourself via the pic we’ve posted below. Also, in order to let the speaker deliver 360-degree spatial sound, UE has entirely redesigned the front of the speaker. T he new fabric feels more comfortable to the touch, and the best part is that it’s more durable than that of its predecessor.
#BOOM2 VS BOOM 3D FOR MAC BLUETOOTH#
The cylindrical shape is maintained along with UE’s iconic plus and minus buttons, but this time the company decided to change the fabric.Īnd, speaking of buttons, we have a new button on the top of the speaker apart from the Power and Bluetooth pairing buttons, there is now a ‘Magic’ button (whose capabilities will be explained in some detail in the Features section below).
Boom 3 and Megaboom 3 are similar in terms of visual appearance and, without a doubt, they both look brilliant. Ultimate Ears has a long track record of having beautifully designed products, so it would be a surprise if things were any different this time around. We’ll review the design and evaluate the new features and audio performances of these exceptional speakers. We’ve already established why Megaboom 3 is better than the Megaboom, and now it’s time to analyze the battle between Boom 2 and Boom 3 and see if it’s worth upgrading the predecessor with the brand new speaker. Ultimate Ears recently announced that Boom 3 and Megaboom 3 will be superseding the previous models.
