Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: UE's Boom 3 had Good overall sound quality. Bass has good impact but is a touch boomy, a bit subdued and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is fairly even but is a bit hazy and grainy. Treble is fairly extended but is a bit sizzly and washed out sounding. Does a so so job of recovering room ambience and is a bit congested and is lacking in detail. Can provide enough volume to be heard in a medium sized room.
