The verdict

Micro-USB aside, six years later, the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 remains a solid choice for a durable, omnidirectional outdoor Bluetooth speaker.

✓Liked: Omnidirectional sound, Durable build, IP67, Floats

✕Could be better: Cylinder shape needs a flat surface to stay upright, Loop attachment could be bigger, Micro-USB charge port
