The Soundcore Boom 3i Blue comes in a shade soundcore calls Deep Ocean Blue, and the name fits: this is a 50W speaker designed for the sea rather than the sofa. It is rated IP68 for dust and water, soundcore says it withstands 240 hours of salt spray, it floats and rights itself so the sound faces up even in waves, and it has a 96 dB emergency alarm you trigger from a button. One thing it does not do is charge your phone: soundcore lists charge-out as not supported.

Deep Ocean Blue: Made for Beach and Boat Days
Blue is the natural colour for a speaker that lives by the water. The Soundcore Boom 3i Blue blends with a boat deck, a kayak or a beach towel, and its dark tone hides sand marks, sunscreen smudges and salt residue better than lighter finishes. That makes it a good pick for jet ski owners, weekend sailors, divers on a boat trip and families who spend Fridays at the beach. If you camp in wadis or green areas, the Jungle Green version may suit you more; for sea days, this blue is the obvious match. Rinse it with fresh water after a sea swim and let it dry with the port cover closed.
IP68 and 240 Hours of Salt Spray
Most speakers sold as waterproof are rated IPX7, which says nothing about dust and is tested in fresh water. The Soundcore Boom 3i Blue is rated IP68, covering dust as well as water, and soundcore says it is engineered to withstand 240 hours of salt spray under ASTM G85-equivalent testing, which it describes as five times the industry average. Salt is what usually ruins electronics at the beach, corroding contacts and ports long after the speaker dries. soundcore does not publish the depth or duration behind the IP68 rating, so treat it as a speaker that survives a dunk and floats, not as one for diving. The Soundcore Boom 3i Blue is also drop-tested from 1 m.
Floats Upright in the Waves
soundcore calls it Auto-Upright Floating: when the Soundcore Boom 3i Blue lands in water, its weight is balanced so it rolls to keep the sound facing upward and forward, even in waves. A speaker that floats face down is one you cannot hear, and on open water you often cannot reach it quickly. One that floats face up keeps playing toward you and is easier to spot. At 780 g, the Soundcore Boom 3i Blue measures 8.27 × 3.35 × 3.09 in (about 210 × 85 × 78 mm) and is light enough for a beach bag, and the detachable strap lets you hang it from a railing or a backpack.
Emergency Alarm, Voice Amplifier and Buzz Clean
Press and hold the BassUp button for five seconds and the Soundcore Boom 3i Blue sounds a 96 dB alarm that soundcore says is audible up to 100 metres, with no phone needed. It draws attention; it is not a rescue beacon and sends no location, so it adds to, rather than replaces, a life jacket and telling someone your plans. For the Soundcore Boom 3i Blue, the soundcore app adds a Voice Amplifier that lets you record a voice message and broadcast it through the speaker, and Buzz Clean, which vibrates the speaker to shake off dust and debris after a day on the sand. The app also handles EQ, lighting and firmware updates.
Sound, Battery and What Comes in the Box
Output is 50W, and soundcore does not state whether that is RMS or peak. BassUp 2.0 deepens the low end, with bass reaching down to 56Hz according to soundcore. A Soundcore Boom 3i Blue and a second Boom 3i can pair in TWS mode to split the channels into stereo, over Bluetooth 5.3. soundcore rates the battery at up to 16 hours of play but does not publish the test conditions or the charging time, so expect less with the RGB lights on and the volume high. In the box are the speaker, a detachable strap and a USB-C cable; no wall charger is included.
Who This Is Not For
The Soundcore Boom 3i Blue is not for anyone who wants a speaker that doubles as a power bank: it has no charge-out. soundcore does not list a microphone for hands-free calls. It is not a diving speaker, since the depth and time behind IP68 are not published, and the alarm is not a rescue beacon. 50W suits a beach group or a boat deck, not a large party, and soundcore does not publish the charging time or the conditions behind the 16-hour figure.

Soundcore Boom 3i Blue FAQ
Can the Soundcore Boom 3i Blue go in the sea?
Yes. It is rated IP68, tested against 240 hours of salt spray and floats upright; soundcore does not publish the depth behind IP68, so it is not for diving.
Does the Soundcore Boom 3i Blue charge my phone?
No. soundcore lists charge-out as not supported on the Boom 3i.
Does the blue finish show salt and sand?
No, not much. The dark Deep Ocean Blue hides sand and salt marks well; a fresh-water rinse after the sea is still a good habit.
How do I trigger the emergency alarm?
5 seconds: press and hold the BassUp button that long and the speaker sounds a 96 dB alarm.
How long does the battery last?
16 hours at most, according to soundcore, which does not publish the test conditions; lights and high volume shorten it.
Is a wall charger included?
No. The box has the speaker, a detachable strap and a USB-C cable.
Is it genuine?
Yes. We sell the genuine soundcore Boom 3i in Deep Ocean Blue, brand-new in its sealed box.
How long does delivery take?
No more than 3 business days to any emirate, free from AED 300; the live fee for your order appears at checkout.
