Ultimate Ears - HYPERBOOM

I have both? Party mode kinda sucks, it kills the bass and just makes it loud. I'd rather have two in normal mode, they'll sound way better. I have 2 Sony XG300s and a field one I use. Also have 2 UE Megaboom 3s and a Hyperboom. I'd definitely go TWS or get a hyperboom/Ult Field 7 or something similar.

The JBL Boombox 3 and Ultimate Ears Hyperboom are both great choices for deep bass! The Boombox 3 is rugged, waterproof, and built for outdoor use, while the Hyperboom is great for multi-device pairing and party settings

The Ultimate Ears Hyperboom gets louder overall, especially for indoor use, while the JBL Boombox 3 delivers a more powerful bass outdoors. If you want a balance of volume and deep bass, Boombox 3 is the way to go!

I have like 6 wonderbooms and a Hyperboom as well nice lol

If you want bass then go for it. I love mine but for actually listening I love my hyperboom I can full volume and it will still sound clear without losing any bass at all. And the 2024 hyperboom now comes with updated ports so USB C charging and phone charger. Can’t go wrong with a hyperboom tbh

Hyperboom is the most accurate BT speaker I have ever heard. 5 stars

lol nice I have Hyperboom also and it’s pretty great

I can only speak for what I have and I love my Hyperboom but I do like my bass.

I highly recommend NOT to get the minirigs. I got a bundle with 2 subs and 4 tops myself for the same purpose and was highly disappointed. Have a look at the hyperboom. You can link them up. 4 should suffice. The sound quality is rather decent with a nice base, especially for them being so portable and modular.

I dont think they are overhyped because not many people here or online are suggesting they are “best in class” other than maybe some random YouTubers. they are popular with consumers because they have good IP protection and rated for drop protection at least their smaller ones. also most of them have 360 sound design so consumers dont need to be conscious about how they place it they can just focus on listening to the music. easy to use. imo the only good ones are Wonderboom and Hyperboom. Wonderboom has impressive battery life and big sound for its size (has same size drivers and sound as Boom) I have two of them so am a bit biased. latency is on the low side as well. other than that downsides are it reduces bass quite quickly above 50% volume and except for the new WB4 they all charge with micro usb. Hyperboom is decently specced and performs well at higher volume with minimal compression and distortion. large dispersion as well but not 360. downsides are there are bassier speakers with similar drivers and it only charges via AC cord.

yeah I think I read about the bad latency on Hyperboom but I couldnt confirm it. do you mean in a stereo pair? because thats what I remember reading.

that sucks I would at least expected no latency via optical. but as you say its the DSP. definitely not ideal for latency use. i think the persons comment I read said not suitable for video/movie use either.

thanks your reply has a lot of good info. 100-150ms is good enough for video ime. you might have expected firmware update to fix it but maybe it is a hardware limitation. but also newer firmware making things worse is common.

I have a ue hyperboom and love it. It has an enormous battery and runs for ages. Heaps of Usb power for synths and aux in for audio.

I mix off my Hyperboom for friends all the time. It gets hella compliments

Ultimate Ears Hyperboom speaker 🔊 👏 👌 the best

I'll comment on what I have. I have a UE Boom, Sony SRS-XB41, UE Hyperboom and Samsung ST90B. They all have their place, and the reasons I bought them, but... Out of all these the Hyperboom is easily the best speaker for all occasions. It's loud, crystal clear and has amazing bass. The Samsung is bigger, but anything over 3/4 vol and it majorly distorted.

I have a Hyperboom and agree with everything you pointed out. It's a good speaker. I gifted it to my brother a couple yrs ago due to the high latency it has. If they were to reduce the latency significantly, I would purchase a new one.

No. Whether connect via Bluetooth, a optical, or any other means, there is an easily perceivable audio delay. It is caused by the on-board DSP processing the audio too long. With a playlist you enjoy just casually going in the background it's okay and not going to interfere with anything. This is just a party speaker. No DJing, or accurate gameplay, or anything time-critical can be done with this speaker.

I watched movies on it just fine. The delay is like 100-300ms or something like this. It's not ideal, but it is ok. You would think is fixable with a firmware update, but they have no intention of doing that. They will just release a new product. Definitely just music-based situations. It's sad, because having an optical port is very unique and useful. The DSP delay is most likely from the "auto EQ" which works in tandem with the microphone on the hyperboom

I would use 1 ue hyperboom instead

Bigger speakers spread sound more consistently, and this one has 2 directions of output with 90 degrees angle

You dont know what youre talking about

Hyperboom has a wider spread sound, so is best for bbq (unless its rainy) Sony ult 7 has best bass and is flexible in the way you put it and you get better stereo separation for intense listening or and its better as a tv speaker
