Know before you buy
Yes, the speaker is IP67 rated, meaning it is fully waterproof and dustproof. It is designed to float, so you don't have to worry if it accidentally ends up in the water.
The Magic Button on the top of the speaker allows you to play, pause, and skip tracks directly from the device without needing to reach for your phone. You can also use it to access your favorite playlists on supported streaming services with a long press.
Yes, you can use the Ultimate Ears app to pair multiple compatible Ultimate Ears speakers together to amplify your sound or create a stereo experience.
You can pair up to eight Bluetooth-enabled devices to the speaker in total. Of those, you can have two devices connected simultaneously, allowing you to switch between music sources easily.
The 20-hour battery life is an estimate based on moderate usage. If you consistently play music at maximum volume, you should expect the battery to drain faster than the advertised 20 hours.
The MEGABOOM 3 has a wireless range of up to 45 meters, or 150 feet. This allows you to keep your phone or tablet at a distance while the music continues to play clearly.
