Who They’re For: Anybody who wants a loud, great sounding Bluetooth speaker that’s also easy to use. Also, the charging port has been moved from the bottom of the speaker to the side, so you can charge and listen to each speaker simultaneously, which was a small design flaw in the Boom 2 and Megaboom. Both the Boom 3 and Megaboom 3 float, which is new. The “magic button” isn’t game-changing, but it’s admittedly nice to not have to touch your phone to change songs or pause tracks. I tested the Megaboom 3 directly against the Megablast and, despite being similarly sized speakers, the Megaboom 3 sounded noticeably better it had better midrange separation and the overall audio sounded crisper. The Good: These are arguably the best sounding Bluetooth speakers you can buy.

The audio quality and durability of the speakers have both been improved, albeit slightly.
