Hours of entertainment
The Boom 3 portal speaker provides up to 15 hours of enjoyment on one charge. To maximize this time, be sure to turn the speaker off when not in use. Settings and environmental conditions can also affect battery life. If you need something with a longer battery life, you'll want to check out the larger Megaboom 3, which provides 20 hours between charges, but costs more (think of the Megaboom 3 as basically the Boom 3, but a little bit larger).
A brilliant choice
There are bigger speakers on the market, but for most folks, the Boom 3 is the one to get. Available in multiple colors, the Bluetooth speaker offers balanced 360-degree sound with deep bass. It's also water, dust, and drop-proof too.
Looking for more? You can play, pause and skip tracks right from the speaker. Additionally, you can create one-touch playlists in Apple Music or Deezer Premium via the Ultimate Ears app.
About that charger
The Power Up charger works with all of your current-generation Ultimate Ears speakers, including the Boom 3, Megaboom 3, Blast, and Megablast. With a convenient home base, the Power Up has been designed to remove those ugly charging cables that have long been associated with mobile devices. Sure you can't carry the speaker around with you, but you can keep the party going if you run out of juice.
Super portable and compact
The Boom 3 provides hours of enjoyment between charges. With the extra Power Up, you can play the music 24/7 with no interruptions.
A bigger choice
The Megaboom 3 from Ultimate Ears provides an extra five hours of music between charges versus the Boom 3. It's also larger and packs more punch. It's worth considering if you don't think 15 hours will be enough.
No battery worry
The Power Up provides a 24/7 charge to your Boom 3, Megaboom 3, Blast, or Megablast. Use the charger when it's not necessary to move the speaker and you can keep the music playing.
