                Our Verdict The Ultimate Ears BOOM 3 is a better speaker for most uses than the JBL Flip 5. The Ultimate Ears is better-built, gets louder with less compression, and has longer battery life. Also, it has a better soundstage performance, and it can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono.
