Title:

UE Megaboom 3 bass sounds garbage?

Text:

I have a UE MegaBoom 3, and a JBL Charge 4.
My iPhone uses R&B as the equaliser.
The Charge 4 takes every song I throw at it like a champ. The bass is fine, and slightly reduces if it’s too loud.
The UE MegaBoom 3 however is making a ‘thunk’ sound for its bass when the volume is above 50%.
-I’ve used smaller BT Speakers, like the Dell ad211, and when the bass is roughly 70%, it makes the same weird ‘thunk’ sound with the bass.. and it sounds terrible.
+I’ve used smaller BT Speakers, like the Dell ad211, and when the bass is roughly 70%, it makes the same weird ‘thunk’ sound with the bass.. and it sounds terrible. However this is a very old speaker.. 10 years or so.
Could anyone else test for me to see if they can reproduce the issue?
If this cannot be reproduced, have I got a bad UE Megaboom 3 speaker?
iPhone EQ = R&B
Song: Flawless - The Ones.
Alternatively, use this song.

+I’d ask on the Ultimate Ears reddit, however they only have one moderator or something, and it’s closed to invitation only and there hasn’t been a post for literally 30 days. The slash is basically dead.
