It sounds good but that charging port still old not new...its almost perfect👌, we all know that type are now available why not they dont install it, so thats make it frustrating
I like how you hold these companies accountable for their marketing. Oh there's an extra hour of playback but it's none of your business what size the battery is! And the recycled plastic is nice except you could recycle the whole thing with firmware (which I thought sounded better/clearer). I do like the form factor of these things. It's like a fun sound grenade.
Great test Alan. I'm actually amazed that these little grapefruit-size speakers are close to the frequency response of passive mini-bookshelf speakers. These Wonderbooms do 80Hz - 15kHz +- 6db. That's to a point where I'm actually wondering if I need a stereo system anymore. I'm an old guy and I'm not into "Bass I Love You" music. I reckon a Wonderboom would play Carpenters, Kinks, Beatles and sundry 70's pop and rock just fine.
I hope all is well Alan thanks for these reviews they definitely help when going to get new or replacement speaker i love watching these vids to help with my final decision as most companies sales methods result in lying to the consumers
Alan I've been havin a shit day and your vid here just made it better!!!! Best speaker reviews on the planet come from you man. What I dig is ya make it funny but at the same time give the best solid info amd comparisons.... great job Alan amd thanks for bein you!!!!
😃👍 I've had my Wonderboom 2 for about 4 years and it's the best Bluetooth speaker I've owned. When I wear out the old, I will SURELY get the 3️⃣ Thanks for the review‼️
The real reason there is an extra hour is the new chip inside for Blutooth 5.2. You can have the exact same battery or even smaller and still get better battery life. The chip can be manufactured with a newer process and have a transistor size reduction, which always lowers power consumption. But even assuming same manufacturing nanometer size, the protocol being 5.2 can yield gains in porwer usage. There are proofs of that all over the lower level programming and manufacturing of microchips on many youtube channels that cover these topics.
i was planning to get jbl charge 5 since i have wb 2 and got a lil underwhelmed now with the bass but ive been using it for like 4 years now, it still sounds really good but i just got used too deep iem bass sounds. then i saw theres now a wb 3 and its seems promising. why i like wb 2 is because of its small but big sounding and wide soundstage and thats what im looking for a speaker. thanks for the review it got me interested on buying it
@@adversary22 They probably tried to save a few pennies on that connector instead of usb-c. I don't see any other reason and they will loose customers because of that connector.
Another awesome review and comparison Al! As for the actual speaker, I highly recommend people boycott the UE brand as they are clearly taking us for mugs by releasing a speaker with micro USB in 2022! Also, no battery upgrade or driver upgrade it's just a shameless cash-grab!
It appears that Ultimate Ears has finally broken down and released new versions of their speakers with up to date technology. At least Wonderboom and Megaboom. Megaboom now features USB C but I can't find info on what Bluetooth version it is.
I don't know why would they choose microUSB connector instead of usb-c?Only reason that comes to my mind is they wanted to save a few pennies on that connector.
Wow, another great informative n entertaining A.R. yt video. I wish to be an audiphile then maybe I could hear the difference between those pretty speakers. I'll keep watching your vids Al so maybe someday I will understand just what I'm hearing. 🤖 Thanks
Alan, I have attempted as an old fool subscriber(basically indoor acoustic music where deep bass is not particularly important) to compare this review of the Wonderboom 3 to your video where you upgraded the equalizer settings with the new software for the Motion Plus. To use your term in recent videos, for an analytical listen (of non-electronic music) the Motion Plus (as paired speakers) still is perhaps preferred, is this correct at least sort of? Thanks.
to be honest these days i grab the stockwell 2 before the motion plus for a a more analytical listen. but yes if deep bass is not required the motion plus can do a great job but i found strong variance between all three of my versions. they need different eq
So similar sound signature 2 and 3. Best small "travel" speaker is "still" Bose Soundlink Micro for me cause it is really small to carry with me anywhere... Size and the "quality sound" (not max sound expectation) is the key for my travels...
I wonder what happened to UE motivation to make good speakers. Do they just know they have no chance at competing with speakers in today's world or they just don't care? Also you still ever plan on reviewing the UE Hyperboom
Thank you for your reply the factory itself did not mention it . Maybe you should give it a try. I wanted to buy a 3 but I hold it for now. Best@@alanrossreviews

I already own a Motion Boom but Iwant something more portable, do you think this one would be worth it for 75€ or should I get a Sony XB13 for 40€? I don't need something that gets massively loud, I have the Motion Boom for that, just something that sounds pretty good and has pleasant bass while being compact.

@Alan Ross Reviews it's useful if you're in your bed and don't feel like standing up to press the 'on' button 😀 and I guess yes, its in some kind of standby although the speaker is switched off.
Ooooooh! Haven’t checked in for a while. Cuz I went with an Alan recommended Anker speaker. (And very happy with it) However, always in the market for an upgrade. 👍
After rewatching several of his videos I got a Soundcore Boost. Not at all disappointed. I came back and ordered a Motion+ too and should be getting that next Wednesday.
@@adversary22 Went with the Soundcore 2…given my poor budget limitations at the time and am surprisingly happy with it. Will check out the boost though now that you mention it. 👍
I bought a motion plus and as Alan said with a subwoofer it would be fucking sex...and obvs if you had two paired and a subwoofer..fucking eargasms ejaculating out your ears
When i have to buy a new speaker, I always check the measurements here :) You have to test the jbl party box encore and compare it to boombox 2 and tribit blast 🥶
the bb2 is basically the bb3 without the 700hz peak and little less lift at 5-8khz. basically they have same bass but bb3 is sharper and harsher, bb2 by comparison will sound warmer. i have the encore already 🤭
thats not an easy answer, if you are happy with the sound of the boom plus get another boom plus for wide stereo. blast for me sounds better but you already have the boom plus so its a different consideration
@@Creakytomcat333 If you value deep bass, two Boom Plus won't go deeper than one Blast, but if you indeed want some wide stereo, two Boom Plus sounds pretty damn good
@@ThibautMahringer @alan deep bass isn’t too important mbp is a bit too punchy but that’s not too much of an issue. Vocal clarity is more important to me but also mbp can get slightly tiring so I was hoping two would help with this problem by spreading the sound if that makes sense
weirdly the new tuning is more inline with what i said in my review about it, less highs and more bass needed. but im not being called a music geek??????? 😭
Alan, maybe I simply can not find a link but, where can I buy one of your shirts mate? Keep up the great work. If these do not exist...make them exist lol.
I'm sure all the retailers will have a difficult time keeping it in stock with all of these innovative upgrades. Maybe UE think micro USB is scarce enough now to make it retro and therefore more unique in a sea of USB-C. Perhaps with the Wonderboom 4 we'll get an old style crank instead of a power button to better accentuate that vibe. 😂 Anyway, thank you for highlighting the differences and for another excellent review, Alan! 😁👍👏
"There is no money in it, we do it for the love of it": your last words and the meaning for us for seeing your videos, because you tell us your TRUTH and not interested opinions. And, apart from that, remember you made me interested in those motion booms wich I still enjoy so much THANKS to you, my friend. Hope you still will have the time to do what you like: videos like this. Remember, again, you make people not to get wrong buying ̶m̶a̶t̶t̶r̶e̶s̶s̶e̶s̶ bluetooth speakers and also you make us laugh! 😁 Hugs!
yes they're easy to use and the battery's life it's eternal i just gave one this Christmas to my mother inlaw😂 she says it's not a decent Design but it's very reistent
@@alanrossreviews None with as much details as your videos (And a lot of BS in some videos too, as always). But I completely understand if you don't want to, or can't, no worries 😁
@@alanrossreviews That's cool ! I will probably get the Encore in April for my birthday, I will save money for it 👍 It would be nice to see a video from you on this speaker, outside of battery it seems promising 🔥
The wonder boom 3 sounds pretty decent for the price. I bought the mega boom 3 days ago. Everyone says the megaboom sounds loud and bassy. I just don’t hear it. I turned it all the way up and ehhhh. I have the JBL charge 3 and Imo you definitely get the bass and the overall sound quality. I also have the JBL extreme 2 which is pretty good. I heard the ue hyper boom at Best Buy. The sound is about 7.5-8 out of 10. I think I might just stick with JBL. The aesthetic of ue speakers are way more sleek than JBL
Lmaoooo at 1:05 wasn't expecting to get flashed from the king Bob Marley Ross himself. Another great video as always! I agree with you (as always usually) I like the tuning of the 3 better. Realistically neither one of these speakers would be a buy for me in actuality though.
@@alanrossreviews A firmware update wouldn’t make them more money unfortunately lol. Got a question for you though Alan. Do placement of passive radiators on a speaker matter as far as directionality, and how they might bounce off a surface???? I know passive radiators are basically just drivers pushing the low end so in theory, it should be omnidirectional (At least I believe) but was interested in your thoughts. An example speakers with side, front, or back radiators. Would how you place the radiators on any particular surface or wall make a difference, or would it not matter since bass is omnidirectional??
@@Yt_ShadowBannedme not only are they just playing the low end they are playing a narrow frequency range as they are specifically tuned. So yes non directional but as with all low frequency boundary does reinforce the amount you hear. So i would say the effect is small but real if pointed directly at a solid surface. There is maths involved in this and i really am not good at the DIY aspect.
@@alanrossreviews Yeah didn’t mean to say play “just the low end” lol, but agree with your assessment. The effect of the positioning of radiators is very small imo.
Love that speaker because of its design,but very expensive for it's price, so I bought the tronsmart t7 mini, because it has the same design and 4 times cheaper than WONDERBOOM 3 and decent bass and balance sound quality I bought the t7 mini for 19 dollars in online shop and it has USB C port Ang auxiliary plug and it also has TF card slot and 18 hours battery life 🤭with Bluetooth 5.3 But sadly it's only ipx7
That was a long write up on Oluv's page,I like Oluv BUT U DA MAN ,I think I insulted a fat guy reviewer here cause basically he is just a box opener & no tech data
ahhh kill it, with fire!! OG wonderboom was ok but now makes little sense getting this nowdays, being only decent offer the hyperboom from UE, rest is utter crap, thus never really liked their speakers its an insult such things cost so much for the sound they have lol.
@@alanrossreviews not really worth it imo still unless they fixed their eq.. Compareable to a 2.2minirigs setup with better bass but worse mids and treble in a nutshell. But feel free.
@@alanrossreviews ohh i see, ok im up for it then too. Also a bit off topic now but if you have xtra time could you do a video on an aiwa speaker like the exos3, they are dirt cheap,(70 euros) and last time i knew they were compareable to a jbl xtreme, perhaps you could ask them a review unit too, i am just curious to see how they stand in 2023.

Maybe UE think micro USB is scarce enough now to make it retro and therefore more unique in a sea of USB-C. Perhaps with the Wonderboom 4 we'll get an old style crank instead of a power button to better accentuate that vibe. 😂 Anyway, thank you for highlighting the differences and for another excellent review, Alan! 😁👍👏
yup marketing has gone to a whole new level 😭
"There is no money in it, we do it for the love of it": your last words and the meaning for us for seeing your videos, because you tell us your TRUTH and not interested opinions.
And, apart from that, remember you made me interested in those motion booms wich I still enjoy so much THANKS to you, my friend. Hope you still will have the time to do what you like: videos like this. Remember, again, you make people not to get wrong buying ̶m̶a̶t̶t̶r̶e̶s̶s̶e̶s̶ bluetooth speakers and also you make us laugh! 😁 Hugs!
Thanks for that 👌👌
yes they're easy to use and the battery's life it's eternal i just gave one this Christmas to my mother inlaw😂 she says it's not a decent Design but it's very reistent
was it a pink one? 😝
@@alanrossreviews jep with neon colour, you can see it from a mile away
Compared to the BOOM 2 THE BOOM 4 ALLOWS YOU TO FEEL THE BASS!..happily surprised!
Micro USB in 2023, and no actual improvement, except for a slight retune...siiiigh 🤦 Love ya Alan, happy new year!!
bluetooth 5.2 woohoo 🥳🥳
As you know, this is a speaker I wouldn't get 😂
Now we need some Hyperboom action 🔥
yeah thats been a miss from this channel so far..but you already know the story right? i mean there are tons of reviews on that speaker...
@@alanrossreviews None with as much details as your videos (And a lot of BS in some videos too, as always).
But I completely understand if you don't want to, or can't, no worries 😁
@@ThibautMahringer i definitely want to get to it at some point along with the encore
@@alanrossreviews That's cool !
I will probably get the Encore in April for my birthday, I will save money for it 👍
It would be nice to see a video from you on this speaker, outside of battery it seems promising 🔥
The wonder boom 3 sounds pretty decent for the price. I bought the mega boom 3 days ago. Everyone says the megaboom sounds loud and bassy. I just don’t hear it. I turned it all the way up and ehhhh. I have the JBL charge 3 and Imo you definitely get the bass and the overall sound quality. I also have the JBL extreme 2 which is pretty good. I heard the ue hyper boom at Best Buy. The sound is about 7.5-8 out of 10. I think I might just stick with JBL. The aesthetic of ue speakers are way more sleek than JBL
you get paid comments as well, you cant trust anything any more, megaboom has no boom, thats the truth
@@alanrossreviews for reals, I mean the only reason I wanted it was the 360 sound but it’s ehhhhh
@@hustle2muscle indeed!
Lmaoooo at 1:05 wasn't expecting to get flashed from the king Bob Marley Ross himself.
Another great video as always! I agree with you (as always usually) I like the tuning of the 3 better. Realistically neither one of these speakers would be a buy for me in actuality though.
but after 3 years instead of giving a firmware update for new eq they just renamed it 🤪
@@alanrossreviews A firmware update wouldn’t make them more money unfortunately lol.
Got a question for you though Alan. Do placement of passive radiators on a speaker matter as far as directionality, and how they might bounce off a surface????
I know passive radiators are basically just drivers pushing the low end so in theory, it should be omnidirectional (At least I believe) but was interested in your thoughts. An example speakers with side, front, or back radiators. Would how you place the radiators on any particular surface or wall make a difference, or would it not matter since bass is omnidirectional??
@@Yt_ShadowBannedme not only are they just playing the low end they are playing a narrow frequency range as they are specifically tuned. So yes non directional but as with all low frequency boundary does reinforce the amount you hear. So i would say the effect is small but real if pointed directly at a solid surface. There is maths involved in this and i really am not good at the DIY aspect.
@@alanrossreviews Yeah didn’t mean to say play “just the low end” lol, but agree with your assessment. The effect of the positioning of radiators is very small imo.
❌No USB-C
❌No Mic for calls
❌No 3.5mm audio port
🙄🙄🙄
Yeah but bluetooth 5.2, 😭
Wonderboom 3 is real?😅 I'll stick to the T7 - but I dig the colours the Boom speakers come in.
this could have gone out on april 1st! 😁
Love❣️
💕💕
hi!!
hello dylan 😁
The Soundcore Flare 2 easily beats the Wonder why boom.
yes true, i just prefer the wonderboom form factor
@@alanrossreviews I actually prefer the original Wonder boom to the WB2 Seemed higher quality build.
@@mikehancock6280 i guess plays slightly cleaner as they didnt push the bass quite as much
@@alanrossreviews the original had more thumping bass compared to the WB2 to my ear.
more upper bass, less mid bass on mine.
Love that speaker because of its design,but very expensive for it's price, so I bought the tronsmart t7 mini, because it has the same design and 4 times cheaper than WONDERBOOM 3 and decent bass and balance sound quality
I bought the t7 mini for 19 dollars in online shop and it has USB C port Ang auxiliary plug and it also has TF card slot and 18 hours battery life 🤭with Bluetooth 5.3
But sadly it's only ipx7
and you are happy with it?
Yes sir
That was a long write up on Oluv's page,I like Oluv BUT U DA MAN ,I think I insulted a fat guy reviewer here cause basically he is just a box opener & no tech data
its all good, something for everyone 👌👌
Yo!
yo, happy new year 👍👍
@@alanrossreviews happy new year uncle Alan

I don't watch you either... But helping the algorithm
What's best speaker under 130?
In your pigeon 😂🐦 Head
Kidding you Smart 😅
you still cant go wrong with the motion boom for bass fans
Wonderboom 3 sucks horribly.. 😔😔 Nice video!
its ok, i dont think it sucks but needs a price reduction.
Wonderboom 3 according to the test sounds a bit more spacious and the separation of the instruments is a bit more noticeable
Micro USB in 2023, yeah what a piece of crap 🤷🏻♂️
ahhh kill it, with fire!! OG wonderboom was ok but now makes little sense getting this nowdays, being only decent offer the hyperboom from UE, rest is utter crap, thus never really liked their speakers its an insult such things cost so much for the sound they have lol.
yeah the hyperboom is one i really need to get to soon.... thanks for watching!
@@alanrossreviews not really worth it imo still unless they fixed their eq.. Compareable to a 2.2minirigs setup with better bass but worse mids and treble in a nutshell. But feel free.
@@asunavk69 its one of those speakers i get continual positive feedback on so i need to try just for reference
@@alanrossreviews ohh i see, ok im up for it then too. Also a bit off topic now but if you have xtra time could you do a video on an aiwa speaker like the exos3, they are dirt cheap,(70 euros) and last time i knew they were compareable to a jbl xtreme, perhaps you could ask them a review unit too, i am just curious to see how they stand in 2023.
microusb holy shit LOL
it must be groundhog day 😁
First
faster than a speeding bullet 👍😝😝
@@alanrossreviews faster than the flashing and distorting pulse 5 😂😂
ha! thats another i never tried!
@@alanrossreviews When you see my video you will find that it is not worth buying
First
close but fourth 😝
