so this thing is been around for a while right Ultimate Ears they've been doing this boom speaker different versions of it for a really long time in fact this was one of the first Bluetooth speakers I featured on the channel once upon a time well not this version not the new version of it the original and then some of the variations that existed at that point in time crazy popular bluetooth speaker you've seen this brand all over the place you're gonna catch it at Best Buy you're of course gonna see it on Amazon and they just were able to produce a pretty nice amount of sound given the form factor and from a design perspective they're pretty nice-looking in my opinion this is a new version from them they're calling it my boom 3 they're still claiming 360-degree true and balanced sound so they've got this cylindrical design I'm sure you've seen one of these things popping around a barbecue in a back yard something along those lines there's one button to kind of control everything so anyone reaching out for it can figure out what to do with it if you need to pause it like to have a conversation answer a phone call or something there's this big button on the top that's gonna behave that way here's another cool feature party up you compare two speakers for stereo sound so you could just sort of amplify what you're listening to if you have more than one of these and you can do up to a hundred and fifty plus what certainly you could imagine three or four I don't know you're in a college dorm and it's a popular speaker you're having a party for the whole floor and you're like mmm bring those ones and now you got a bigger stereo it's kind of cool 15 hours of battery life they say it's got durable fabric customizable drop proof I don't know about proof they also say waterproof ip67 I'd say resistant one more time let's see what color we got cuz typically these things come in different colors they've always had this cool artwork on the packaging as well right oh we got a camo pattern Oh baby that's cool gigantic buttons on here for volume part of the success of this product is the fact that it's so easy to interact with got this loop on it so you could attach it to something if you want to it says unbox therapy on its customer oh my goodness gracious alright yours is not gonna say that this is what they're calling the magic button play pause and of course advanced tracks and then there's also an LED light for power as well so a hundred and fifty bucks or a selection of seven different colors or you can pay 30 extra bucks and customize the color to what whatever you want thousands of colors to choose from so personalization of your Bluetooth speaker that's pretty cool now look at the size of this thing it's like a you know it's like a beverage can or something now unfortunately it's a microUSB it is not type C but there is an LED indicator there now the cables they include I always like them this is the one upside even though I criticized the microUSB connector the type of cable they give you is foolproof so you know this connector is somewhat flimsy like on PlayStation controllers I hate this connector on PlayStation controllers for this particular device the way that it fits in there since its recessed so it's protected because it's recessed and therefore if it gets yanked or something it's not gonna put all the pressure on the connector itself so if you're gonna go microUSB you have a nice cable like this it's flat too so it's not gonna get all scrambled up it does and of course you have trademark sound effects all of the features of your speaker now there's an app that goes with it which makes it easier to pair this thing up with other devices as a couple of other extra features but you know in practice in most cases people just connect to this like any other Bluetooth device and get to the party so that's the way I'm gonna connect to it it's a funny thing with these speakers it's always a benefit drawback thing with portability versus sound you try to figure out like what is the optimal trade-off this I think for a lot of people fits right in the groove far as musics concerned this is where Kirk tells me to shout out is boy you see the volume controls working on the slider into volume all the way they say 360 sound of course is a little bit less sound coming out the back if you spin it around but like it's most of the way 360 pretty similar volume in each direction I almost forgot because I've used these products in the past they do sell accessories that utilize this on the bottom here for little docking type setups where it could charge on the dock so you always have a charge of ready to go I mean what's the worst thing you're on your way out you need the Bluetooth speaker it's not charged because you didn't have plugged in what can I say about this particular product I mean look there's a reason that you see it everywhere and it's not just the fact that it shows up inside a Best Buy it has to be a decent product and it keep on sort of iterating without fully changing the thing they're kind of implementing that don't broke ain't broke don't broke don't do it don't fix it fix it don't strategy I can imagine this being very popular I think it does strike that balance for Portability and sound it's loud enough for a party it's not gonna knock your face off it ain't no dvla $3,000 speaker if you haven't seen that video go check it out but it's not meant to be it's meant to be a simple user interface that everybody can understand and a speaker that you're willing to take with you that's the key if you don't have it with you it ain't much of a party
