Ultimate Ears BOOM 3

The Ultimate Ears BOOM 3 is good for outdoor use. This amazingly well-built speaker has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, though we don't currently test for this. Since it's battery-powered, it's very portable, and it even has a built-in hook so you can attach it to your bag or backpack. Also, its 360-degree design helps create an open, spacious soundstage, so you feel immersed in your audio from all angles. However, it doesn't get very loud, which can be disappointing.

The UE Boom 3 is a fantastic waterproof portable speaker, but Ultimate Ears hasn’t improved the audio quality despite the increased price.
