Ticks all my boxes, here's how to pair!

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024

So I bought two of these speakers on a whim during Black Friday having never bought a wonderboom product before, and I can say now that it was 100% worth it. I really like the big volume buttons so it's not a tiny surface when you're pressing down, I also really like that they are water resistant so I don't have to worry about changing the volume while washing dishes or hanging it out of the spray when showering. I've also spilled the glass of water on the same surface and there has been no problems. The hoop is stretchy but I like to have a carabiner on it to make attaching it to other things simple and to have a primary speaker I easily identifiable. Having a primary speaker is important for pairing, your primary will be the speaker that has a connection through your phone, so if you only want to grab one speaker having the primary easily identifiable is nice so you don't have to go through repairing things, which isn't necessarily hard but it's much simpler this way.
The sound quality isn't astounding but it's good and despite being small it can get pretty loud, I've yet to use them at full volume. I'm really happy with how long the charge lasts, I don't find myself recharging them very often though I use them daily, and when I do it only takes a few hours. Ultimately very happy with these speakers!

Micro USB!? Are you serious!?

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024

Just opened the box of my new Wonderboom 3, and the charge port is a freaking micro usb! What decade is this? I haven't even listened to the speaker yet but assuming it's as good as my previous 3 UE Bluetooth speakers, I'm giving it a 3 star rating for stupidity or cheapness or whatever on Earth made them use this crap technology. In fact, I think I'm going to return it immediately. FFS

Edit: I returned it a few hours after receiving it. Looking at JBL which uses usb C.

It's small but packs a punch

Color: Joyous Brights GreyStyle: Wonderboom 3Verified Purchase

As an avid traveler, I've been searching for a compact speaker that delivers impressive sound quality without sacrificing portability, and this speaker exceeds all expectations.

First and foremost, the size of this speaker is perfect for travel. It's compact enough to toss into my bag or backpack without adding extra bulk or weight, making it ideal for adventures on the go. Despite its small size, the sound quality is phenomenal, with big bass and 360-degree sound that fills the room.

I'm also blown away by the durability of this speaker. Its waterproof and dustproof design means I can take it virtually anywhere, from poolside parties to beach outings, without worrying about damage. Plus, the fact that it's floatable adds an extra layer of convenience for outdoor adventures.

The Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and reliable, with a range of up to 131 feet, allowing me to stream music from my device with ease. I love that I can control playback and volume directly from the speaker, making it simple to adjust settings on the fly.

Overall, the Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3 is the perfect travel companion for music lovers. It's small but packs a punch, delivering impressive sound quality and durability in a compact package. Whether you're lounging by the pool or exploring the great outdoors, this speaker is sure to enhance your experience. Five stars all the way!

In love with this speaker, I will forever stand by it. I lost my old one and so happy I finally replaced it. It’s so small but SO LOUD. So easy to connect too and has a very long battery life. Highly recommend. Does the job of a larger speaker if not better just as high of quality.

Awesome speaker in a small package for a great price

This is my second Wonderboom 3. My daughter has my first one with her at college. These are amazing for such a small speaker. It's been to the beach and in the water with me. We do a LOT of boating and it works well, even IN the water. I can't recommend this enough. The only negative I see is the charging cable (USB A to Micro) but it's not enough of an issue for me to knock off any stars.

Difficult to pair 2, but good once you know the trick

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2023

Color: Active BlackStyle: Wonderboom 3Verified Purchase

Purchased two of these to use in my backyard. I liked that they were small, so I could move them around easily, but that they provide outsize sound given the small form factor. Key feature for me was the ability to to pair them together.

The latter part was more difficult than I anticipated. I would connect one speaker, turn on the other, which would then 'steal' the music from the first. Pushed the button on the top of both speakers at the same time, as the instructions imply. This does not work, and actually disconnects both speakers from the input device (I'm using an iPhone to play Spotify, for what it's worth) and pauses the music. No way to reconnect without turning the speakers off and then on again, which gets you back to square one. I called tech support and even they couldn't figure it out, though they did share a video which gave me the 'clue' I needed to make it work. Here's the secret:

1. Once you've paired both speakers, turn them on; one will connect to the source, one won't, as noted above.

2. Then push the middle button on the top on the speaker that is NOT playing music, until it makes the beep-boop-beep sounds.

3. Release that button, THEN press the speaker on the other speaker until it beeps and boops.

4. Music will pause, but after a few more seconds of beeps and boops you'll be reconnected and can restart the music and both speakers will play nice together.

Having figured this out I'm quite happy with the purchase- 5 stars if it wasn't such a hassle and the instructions weren't so inadequate. Lots of references to the app, which isn't even compatible with the Wonderboom 3. In general the instructions and support materials leave a lot to be desired. But it's a nice product once you figure out the 'trick' and get it working.

This is my second Wonderboom (and I still have my first). It's great - perfect for outside doing yard work, or, frankly, I use it in the bathroom while I take a shower to listen to audiobooks and podcasts. It's waterproof, and sounds great even if it gets wet. The battery life is astoundingly good, too. It packs quite a lot of sound for its small size. Great value.

Best little portable speaker!!

Color: Active BlackStyle: Wonderboom 3Verified Purchase

I love this speaker so much!! This is my second one!! The first one I gave to my bf so he could use it at work. I wanted the black one (I had the red before) so I bought this one and it’s beautiful and amazing and I love it!! The sound is so amazing. People always tell me they are surprised on how loud it is for such a tiny speaker. Also the battery lasts for a long time!! If you have it at full volume it probably last like 3-4 hours but if you keep it like mid-high it can last like 6-8!! It’s perfect. It’s also really sturdy, I have dropped my old one like over 20 times and it still worked fine and nothing had changed it was perfect. Love it would recommend it 100%

I had a pair of RED Wonderboom 2's (360 sound) that I bought a few years ago for like $99 each at best buy and they looked nice on my black fireplace in my large Living room. They are all-around sound and sound wonderfull. I also would move 1 to the workout room or the garage when i needed to. But I got tired of moving them. So I pulled the trigger on 2 nice black WONDERBOOM 3's that were for some reason selling new for only $59 and the black looks real nice in my BR with a white Dresser and white deco They sound so nice - u really dont need to pair two of them. Also i think Each will loose some volume if u do pair them anyway which is why I like the all-around sound. Both the 2's and 3's are similar. I cant tell a diff. I think the connection looks different

So now I have 4

1 red WB 2 for the weight room/workout room
1 red WB 2 one for the fireplace in the livingroom.
1 Black WB 3 for the bedroom
1 black WB 3 for the garage

Each are appropriately named in the blue tooth setting so that I dont forget and each are plugged into a USB 2 port (which i bought a 4 pack for 4 $10) for charging - they last along time before charging but if u are out of charge, they each also work and charge simultaneously (unlike my damn shaver - lol)

Great Purchase.

Great, when it works

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024

I purchased this speaker when I had a Google Pixel phone and it worked seamlessly. I recently switched to Samsung Galaxy S24, and now it has a glitch that fades out audio intermittently. Similar to how cuss words are omitted in some videos online, the audio cuts out for a fraction of a second, but just long enough to miss the word being spoken/sung at that moment. I don't think I can return this but if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gotten it. I have a UE Boom 2 from 2017 that was dropped off the fourth floor balcony of an apartment complex that still works perfectly and I reverted to using that, even though the size and shape are less convenient for my needs.

Great performance for 4 months, then it stopped working.

Bluetoothed it to my iphone, worked great for 4 months, then it quit. It won’t turn on, charge or play. Letters and phone calls to Wonderboom were not responded to. I hope Amazon will take care of this problem and replace the speaker.

Update: after a very long phone call, Amazon gave me a one -time refund/return, and i promptly bought a new one with a 2 year warranty.
