Our Verdict
JBL Go 3
Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3
The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3 is a better speaker than the JBL Go 3. The Ultimate Ears can produce a more extended low bass and can get louder. It can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono, resulting in a more immersive soundstage overall. Its battery life is also much longer than that of the JBL model. It's also better built, and the manufacturer advertises it to float in water. That said, the JBL is smaller, making it more portable.
