A remarkable shift in price has occurred for the Soundcore Boom Go 3i Portable Bluetooth Speaker, now available for $49.99 – a significant drop from its typical $79.99 price point. Recent tracking indicates this is the lowest price ever recorded for this compact audio device.
Designed with ultimate portability in mind, the Boom Go 3i weighs a mere 380 grams and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. A simple yet effective silicone strap is integrated into the design, allowing for easy attachment to bicycles, backpacks, or campsite fixtures without the need for additional accessories.
Initial sound quality is respectable, with clear mid-range tones, though bass and treble are initially subdued. Fortunately, the companion app provides customizable EQ settings, allowing users to tailor the sound profile to their preferences. While it won’t rival larger speakers with its 15W mono output, adjustments unlock a surprisingly enjoyable listening experience for small gatherings.
Durability is a core strength of the Boom Go 3i, boasting an IP68 rating. This means complete protection against dust and the ability to withstand full submersion in water, making it an ideal companion for outdoor adventures. Soundcore also claims it can survive drops from up to a meter, offering peace of mind in unpredictable environments.
Beyond resilience, the speaker includes thoughtful features like a small digital display showing battery level and status, and vibrant RGB lighting that pulses with the music. The lighting can be disabled to conserve battery life, which can reach up to 24 hours at moderate volume (or an impressive 40 hours in Eco Mode).
The companion app unlocks even more control, offering EQ adjustments, BassUp 2.0 enhancement, Eco Mode activation, and customizable button mapping. A unique voice amplifier feature is also included, potentially useful for amplifying sound in open-air settings.
