The fabric wrap protects the drivers from water and also looks great in our opinion, especially because it changes colour a bit under different levels of light.
Interestingly, the speaker is also shock resistant, rated to survive drops from up to five feet. This means that you can immerse the speaker in up to 1m of water for 30 minutes without fearing any damage, assuming you've properly sealed off the Micro-USB port at the bottom with its water-tight flap. However, the speaker is a bit taller than its predecessor when placed upright, and is also a fair bit heavier, although this doesn't make a big difference to the portability of the speaker.Īs was the case with the Boom 2, the UE Boom 3 is rated to be ‘waterproof', which is to say it has an IP67 rating. The cylindrical shape and fabric-wrapped exterior reminded us of the Boom 2, as did the large rubber volume controls in the shape of ‘plus' and ‘minus' symbols - only the middles of both buttons are actually clickable.
There are a few significant changes in the way the speaker looks, but the UE Boom 3 largely retains the design and form of its predecessor.
