Ultimate Ears has introduced two new speakers at IFA 2018 in the form of the UE Megaboom 3 and the smaller UE Boom 3. The two speakers come with the same internals as their predecessors for 360-degree sound, but they offer a refreshed design and cheaper price tags.
Both the UE Megaboom 3 and the Boom 3 have the same new design. They both feature a new two-tone fabric, a new interface on the top, a repositioned Micro-USB charging port and a built-in port for the Ultimate Ears Power Up charging dock underneath.
The new interface on the top has what the company is calling a « Magic Button » which allows users to play, pause and skip tricks directly on the speaker without their phone. Ultimate Ears UE Megaboom 3 initial review Ultimate Ears UE Boom 3 initial review

The UE Megaboom 3 and Boom 3 will be available from 3 September from John Lewis exclusively, and from 14 October in all major retailers. They will both come in four dual-toned colours comprising Night, Sunset, Lagoon and Ultraviolet.
The UE Megaboom will cost £169.99, the UE Boom 3 will cost £129.99 and the Power Up charging dock will be available separately for £34.99.
