EarFun - UBOOM L

Yes, that's pretty obvious but they're probably still the best options. Only thing that could be better than that is BT speakers with 9 band eq's since you can make them sound however you want. Like, i have a lot of speakers, but my most preferred ones are the Earfun Uboom L and Soundcore motion+ because they have 10 and 9 band eq's. Obviously the hardware needs to be on point too, but that's the best audio you could get, AND the Soundcore also has a hi-res códec.

Yeah the Bose max is 100 times better and the EQ does work well because it only affects the low and mid bass so you cannot make it sound muddy in any way. If you need a recommendation for the size, it might sound surprising but the Earfun Uboom L is the absolute best small speaker i've ever heard/seen. I'm a EQ nerd so the 10 band equalizer along with the outdoor button that expands the soundstage a lot (wich is something i care a lot on speakers) is a W. I have like 15 custom eq's saved, and to make the comparison, i've had 2 JBL Charge 5's and a JBL flip 6, and the Earfun sounds as bassy and loud as the Charge 5 while being exactly the same size of the ULT Field 1, none of the three can compare.

How long ago was that published? His coupon code for the UBoom L doesn't work for me. I have the UBiom L and would love a second one.

Soundcore 2? I have two of them and they don't thump and aren't loud. They are great speakers but aren't beasts. My pair of Uboom L's are great and loud though..

You can get two Uboom L's for $100. In after pairing mode they kick ass. Good bass and loud. Love mine..

100% don't agree. They are far from trash. Have you heard a pair of them in person?

Earfun Uboom L does. And it's a badass little speaker. And two of them in stereo is pretty impressive. Plenty of volume, great highs and mids and more than enough bass to get the job done well. They aren't bass monsters but they don't lack it either. I have a few sets of speakers and they are well loved, especially for he price. My Soundcore Boom 2 isy favorite right now, but only because of it's loud clear bass. Uboom L are very good speakers. They are super clear at low to medium volume, but they still hold it together at max volume. They don't distort and still sound good.

A pair of Uboom L's. Audiophile sound quality on a budget. Greet clarity and clean sound. Good bass, great mids and highs.

I have a pair of Uboom L's and in tws stereo mode they are pretty amazing beasts. One by itself sounds really good, but two in stereo really kicks it up a few nitches, much louder and much more bass. Plus the L is a stereo speaker.

They are great little speakers. The app lets you dial in the EQ which really helps bring them to life. It took me a few listens and experimenting to get the EQ to my tastes but now they sound amazing. Plenty of bass and great mods and highs. Pure clean sound, no hiss or buzz, and mine don't distort at high volumes.

This. I have a pair of L's that I run about 4 feet apart. Sounds amazing. 

I have to say, my pair of Uboom L's is absolutely awesome. I have the app dialed and the EQ on my R1 so that I have zero distortion and the bass is clean and sounds great. Totally satisfied with my little rig.

Two Uboom L's (TWS). I'm loving mine. Took a little effort to dial the EQ to my liking, but they sound great in stereo and have plenty of volume and solid bass. Can't complain for the $120 I paid. I run mine about 4 feet apart, and the stereo spread is very nice.

One sounds damn good, I bought mine and enjoyed it but after about a week I wanted more volume and bass. But I'm using mine in the back of a warehouse and wanted enough volume to overpower noise. In a quiet setting one would be fine. But two in stereo is pretty amazing. There is a coupon code where you can get them for $49 each. Just search for Uboom L oluv code i believe.

The treble and mids are clean and crisp. This speaker doesn't rely on bass at all, some people think it doesn't have enough bass because it isn't a sub bass thrower. The bass is clear and natural. The UBoom L is more like a studio monitor, audiophiles love it because it's neutral and doesn't hype up certain frequencies. Honestly it's just a really great little speaker and the price makes it even better. A lot of bluetooth speakers have exaggerated bass, which is what some people want, this doesn't have that, but it does have bass that serves the music and sounds good and punchy.

I did a deep dive on this a while back and settled on an Earfün Uboom, which was recommended for two reasons  1. It has firmware available that was tuned by some famous audiophile guy 2. You can find coupons for it that give you like 20 bucks off so it's like 50-60 bucks. It has aux in as well as BT. Good battery life. You just need to be comfortable with the idea of changing the firmware to the specific recommended version. I use mine all the time. It can get quite loud but it is also absolutely dreamy at low volume. Sometimes I rest it on my forehead and it feels like I am wearing fancy invisible headphones. Also, you should read the user manual. It has two modes, one high latency mode for multi-device bluetooth and a low latency mode for single device bluetooth / aux. You switch by double pressing the BT button.  Oh and it's waterproof I guess but I'm not going to test it. I like mine quite a lot. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bluetooth_Speakers/comments/1fle9of/the_earfun_uboom_l_is_insanely_good/

Uboom L in Oluv's indoor mode, upper treble is slightly boosted (which kinda gives an illusion of more details but in a nice way), response overall is natural, VERY smooth and extends nicely to 20khz. Nothing in this size will beat it on axis for a long time, it also has that nice loudness compensation for lower volumes and doesn't distort at all

Uboom X + Uboom L from Earfun, both in one of Oluv's dsp settings in the app

Uboom X in Oluv's indoor would be absolutely the best choice, maby you can still find some Vifa speakers? Also, Ldac/Aptx advantage is negligible, you'll get more improvement by lowering some peak in the frequency response via eq

I really like the UBOOM X, but I wouldn't call it a premium product. It has cheap startup sounds, and the build quality isn't very premium either. It's just plastic and a bit of rubber. It does sound good tho.

Still doesn't feel like a premium product. And the design is very bland. It just sounds good, that's about it.

I wouldn't recommend any Earfun speaker to someone who isn't very tech savy. Every Earfun speaker sounds mediocre out of the box and they need EQing. I really like my UBOOM X, but I just can't recommend it to my mom. That's why my mom has a JBL Charge. Also, any of the stock (normal or OLUV's) EQs are way too focused on deep bass, which isn't the best with classical music. And it's not very portable I think, it's rather huge.

Those are all very different speakers, but if you want to have the best sound, bigger is almost always better. UBOOM X is a good choice.

I bought the Soundcore Motion 300 and the Earfun UBOOM L a few days ago, and I tested them for a few hours with the intent to return one of the speakers. To start off with, they both sound great, way better than I expected for the price. My references are Edifier bookshelf speakers (R1855DB and S730D) and a JBL Xtreme. I've had some smaller Bluetooth speakers in the early portable speaker days, but those sound a lot worse. ## Earfun UBOOM L Good things: - It has the potential to sound very good, but it does require fiddling with the EQ. - Gets very loud, but starts to sound thin at high volume. - Clarity is pretty good for a speaker without a tweeter. Mids are the best part of this speaker. - Auxiliary port (I won't really use this tbh) - Built quality is good, but design is kinda generic - Price, it's very cheap at 48 euro's in the Netherlands Bad things: - I have to be honest, it sounds kinda bad out of the box. You HAVE to do things with the EQ to make it sound good, and I don't think Oluv's EQ sounds great, it lacks bass and the volume curve is weird. - The bass is pretty absent at high volume. It doesn't sound great above 80%. - Sound is very directional, it kinda gets muffled at angles. - Battery life is not great (based on RTINGS test) - The startup chimes and stuff sounds very cheap, my very cheap AliExpress amplifier board makes the same sounds - The buttons are black on a black surface, so you have to really look to make sure you press the right button - No firmware update possible from the app? Also the firmware fiasco when this speaker was released is kinda weird too - Charge flap is impossible to open without tools lol - The speaker doesn't seem very refined as a whole product ## Soundcore Motion 300 Good things: - Sounds great out of the box, no adjusting of the EQ needed - Still sounds great it high volume, bass is still present - Gets very loud, about the same volume as the UBOOM L - Possibility to lay flat. It automatically adjusts the EQ. This makes it a much better 360 speaker than the UBOOM - Very well built with the metal grill, strap and just overall quality. Design is nice too. - I instantly got a connection notification on my Android phone the first time I turned it on, like Airpods do on Iphones. It also automatically named the speaker after me. And it prompted me to download the (pretty good) app. - Good buttons, they have (adjustable) backlighting and the power button is recessed, so it's harder to press when it's inside a bag. - Great battery life, almost double the UBOOM battery life (according to RTINGS) - Easier to pack into a bag because it's flat. - Great price for the features and sound quality. - Firmware updates through the app Bad things: - Clarity and mids are a bit better on the UBOOM. - There's an audio delay when watching video's, but i don't think it's worse than the UBOOM with video mode turned on. ## Summary The sound quality of these speakers isn't really far apart. They get just as loud, but the Motion 300 seems to handle bass better, especially at high volumes, while the UBOOM L has better clarity and mids. Both speakers sound great tho. But the overall quality of the product is much much higher with the Motion 300. It actually feels like a premium product with the build quality and features. While the Motion 300 is a bit pricier at €60, I think it's easily worth the price because it's so much better as a product. Some people here seem to forget a Bluetooth speaker is more than just sound. I can easily recommend the Motion 300 to any friends or my parents, but I would only recommend the UBOOM L to friends that are okay with fiddling with the EQ. I am gonna return the Earfun UBOOM L. It sounds great, but it just isn't a very good product, it's missing some refinement. You can really notice that Anker has much more experience and R&D put in their speakers. Let me know if you have any questions.

I saw people talking about distortion on the Motion 300, but I didn't really notice any distortion on the Motion 300. So yeah they might've fixed that. Oluvs EQ is not my thing, it makes the speaker sound very bland, it seems to mostly remove the bass, and the default EQ of the UBOOM just sounds bad. I was able to make it sound pretty great with my own EQ, but I'm not sure if my mom would be able to do that. So I don't think that makes for a great product out of the box. The UBOOM L has more potential to sound better, but the Motion 300 actually sounds a lot better out of the box.

I will probably get flamed for this, but the UBOOM X was definitely the best purchase of the year, great speaker for the €91 I paid. It can't compete with the JBL Boomboxes, but those are at least 3 times more expensive. I bought a Soundcore Motion 300 too, that thing is pretty good too. Feels and sounds very premium for a low price.

Bought it about 6 months ago, had to use a coupon code on the global website, so you pay in dollars. Dollar price and euro price is the same, but the conversion for dollar to euro is pretty good. Sadly they discontinued the speaker, I would like it in TWS. I haven't listened to the Boombox 3, but I feel like people compare the uboom x to more expensive speakers. The UBOOM X is not perfect, the way highs sound is a bit weird because the woofers get a full range signal, but overall it's pretty good. And the speaker gets very loud with decent bass. I mostly use it as a party or outdoor speaker, and it does that very well. At home I have a full surround system with big bookshelf speakers, and a big Edifier 2.1 system at my desk. Those sound much better, but I can't take those with me lol.

I have used it in some cars as well. Tried my old JBL Xtreme first, but the bass doesn't really keep up in a car. The Uboom X worked great with the BOOMXXX eq. No portable Bluetooth speaker can compete with a decent car stereo tho.

The UBOOM X would still be my first choice. There are currently four second-hand ones listed on Kleinanzeigen, including one in Leipzig priced at €120 (negotiable). I would snap that one up immediately if I were you! I have two of them. I often use one (or two, if I'm feeling wild) at a low volume in the bathroom, but I also regularly use both in TWS mode at small, private outdoor events. I am absolutely thrilled with this speaker. It's a great-sounding all-rounder that suits me perfectly in almost every way. Edit: [https://ibb.co/JWJwVtCX](https://ibb.co/JWJwVtCX)

For me, the code reduced the price to $54.

[https://www.myearfun.com/speakers/earfun-uboom-l-portable-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers-black](https://www.myearfun.com/speakers/earfun-uboom-l-portable-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers-black) Oluvs code is not valid on Amazon, but on the manufacturer's website. But the deal Obvious-Bird-3588 was talking about seems to be even better.

Take a look at the UBOOM X, in terms of performance it is far superior to a JBL Charge 5 or a UE Boom 3, and unlike the JBL PartyBoxes it is IP67 dust and water protected. And for less than $250 you can even buy two and use both in TWS mode depending on your application. This could be a really interesting speaker for your needs.

I've tested both speakers with flat eq and also by increasing bass with custom eq. In both cases, earfun UBL wins as it sounds more fuller due to its size when compared to Tribit Xsound Plus 2. As a bass lover, that's the main reason to prefer UBL. My eq for UBL placement in the corner of a room Music: https://ibb.co/5wH7k62 Movies: https://ibb.co/LdyMG1qb

I feel it. With that budget, I'd go with the UBOOM X. I was one of those people that would talk shit about it because I saw so many people hyping it up, but I gave it a chance and it is well worth the money I paid for ($103). But even on prime you can snag it for around $120 which is still a good deal. If you do go this route, make sure you put UBOOMXXX in the discount code thing in Amazon. It should bring it down to that price. Just helping a fellow Redditor out. I also heard they're discontinuing the UBOOM X. $15 bucks more you can get the Tribit Stormbox Blast which, in my opinion, is an awesome speaker. The choice is yours.

I’m not sure. My cousin purchased it on Sunday and the code was valid. You must have prime though. If it’s not valid even with a prime subscription, then that sucks. They must’ve removed it.

UBOOMX sounds like shit straight out of the box. The only EQ that sounds good to me is olives Outdoor+ mode. If the speaker sounded like that without having to download an app and going through hella EQs, then it would be a solid speaker for its price. I paid $103 for mine so it’s alright. I just hate how I have to depend on the app to get decent sound.

Earfun Uboom L. Get the version that was tuned by Oluv. You should see the picture of an Arnold Schwarzenegger looking dude on the marketing material. That's Oluv
