starting in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe third-generation Wonderboom does offer a few improvements over the Wonderboom 2 while keeping the price unchanged at $99.99. Bluetooth range is now 131 feet (up from the 100-foot range on the Wonderboom 2), and listed battery life has been improved by an hour. Like before, two of the speakers can be paired together for true stereo separation, only now, the extended range and battery life can help your audio to cover more ground at parties. Ultimate Ears has also breathed more sustainability into the speaker, claiming they\u2019re made from a minimum of 31 percent post-consumer recycled plastic.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n

If you were a fan of the fact that both of these older models can float in water, then you\u2019ll be pleased to hear that the Wonderboom 3 will continue that tradition, featuring an IP67 rating for water, dirt, and dust resistance. That rating also means it\u2019ll resist jets of water if you want to listen to tunes in the shower \u2014 it\u2019s also \u201cdrop proof\u201d if things get slippy.<\/p>\n
While a few design changes were made between the original Wonderboom and the Wonderboom 2, this latest model looks visually identical to its predecessor, featuring two-tone fabric and a flat bungee cord loop. <\/p>\n
The Wonderboom 3 speaker will be available in four different colors at launch: gray, pink, blue, and black, each with a contrasting strap and iconic control buttons to help them stand out against the body. Ultimate Ears says the speaker will come in these colors \u201cinitially,\u201d which suggests we could see more colorways hitting the market in the future if you need more choices.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n

The Wonderboom 3 looks to be a modest upgrade to the previous generation, but hey, if it ain\u2019t broke, then don\u2019t fix it \u2014 especially if you\u2019re releasing a successor to one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers on the market. It\u2019s set to arrive in both the US and UK on August 31st for $99.99 \/ \u00a389.<\/p>\n
