Ultimate Ears - HYPERBOOM

UE Hyperboom solid bass , sound at higher levels

I second the Hyperboom. Great speaker! I have had mine for a couple years and use it inside and out. Great sound, build quality, and looks. I grabbed mine refurbished from UE directly and got a great deal.

I tried several models during my search - Bose SL Flex (1 Gen), UE Hyperboom 4 and B&O Explore. The Bose by far sounded the best (out of the box - there’s no EQ) then the others (with EQ). I believe the 1st Gen can get a bit lower bass than Gen 2. If you can get a refurbished gen 1 direct from Bose it’s a pretty good price! If you get a pair I’m sure it will sound even better. I enjoy EDM and beats that have a bit more thump. Obviously the low, lows won’t produce in this size of speaker but the mid thumps are definitely there. For the size, the Bose (IMO) is the best sounding.

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!

UE Hyperboom is very nice. But you do need to think about the fact that the bigger a speaker gets, the easier it is to achieve better sound, at least in the bass department.

Not really, it’s the sound in general. It’s not a great sounding speaker.

The ratings are done mostly from people who are not aware of what a good sounding speaker is like. Also, it’s hard to rate something when you’re not comparing it to anything else - if you never put the UE Boom side by side against a JBL charge, you’d always think your UE sounds great

I don’t think it has a better design. Many would say it’s based on preference, but in reality, the UE Boom is much more compact and rugged (the whole point of a portable speaker), and its a shame really that they’re not pushing the sound of a JBL

That’s the thing. You think they’re amazing until you put your megabooms against a JBL charge. You’re of course going to think they’re insanely good. It’s like giving someone a sweet, and they think that’s the best thing ever, until you give them hardcore drugs like heroin, they’re gonna love that shit much more than they love sweets

It’s a shame really cause they have a great design and durability. Wish the sound was on par with JBL’s

Also got this. It's good and not to big, so pretty easy to carry around 👍

I just got myself the Hyperboom and it's awesome !

It's a bit on the expensive side but definitely worth it imo if like me you like to party outdoor quite often ! 😁

UE HYPERBOOM. it's resistant and weatherproof but doesn't have that rugged outdoors look. The levels are perfectly balanced and it has an optical inputtoo. I've had one for a little more than 2 years, just got my 2 one. I love it, check it out.

I own a UE Hyperboom and have heard the JBL Boombox. I think the Hyperboom sounds nicer, that's why I got it. The Boombox has more bass and is probably a bit louder. JBL makes an even bigger one with wheels which is nice for parties with friends but again not as nice sounding as the Hyperboom. Downsides of the Hyperboom is, the handle is a bit awkward so carrying it around is not as nice as the Boombox, also on mine there is no USB charging you have to use the wall charger, another charger to carry, can't use power banks unless they are bigger ones with AC outlets. It's all about how you plan to use them, for my needs I really am happy with the Hyperboom, but I have gobs of sound gear just for parties too. The hyper boom is for hanging out, vacation houses etc. If small portable parties are your interest take a look at Electrovoice battery powered speakers.

No noticeable latency when we were djing on my friends JBL (she has a partybox) with an aux cable. Same with Hyperboom. I looked up the specs and these two speakers are very similar.. the Internet seems to agree with me that the Hyperboom is a better sounding speaker and loud for its size, the Boombox people say it has more bass but the graphs show that they are about the same... The advantage of the Boombox is that it's waterproof, has a built in charger and that the handle is better placed for carrying (the Hyper boom is easily carried in one hand just a bit awkward). It's all about what you care about.. better portability and more rugged (waterproof) with the Boombox or more hifi sound with the Hyperboom. I went with the Hyperboom because I care more about sound and how I use it I am not worried about water too much (I bring out smaller speakers for the beach and such). It is really hard to decide I know...

I hate saying this but a few years ago I AB’d a good chunk of their line and the only one I kept was the Hyperboom which I maintain is one of the best BT speakers you can buy and gets very close to what most would consider hifi (even though it very much is not). UE has a really neutral sound and while that’s cool for reference listening I don’t really think I know anybody who is spinning FLAC masters from Tidal in their garage. The Hyperboom reaches a bit lower and the assembly does a good job with imaging from a single speaker so that’s admirable, and it does get louder than most JBL offerings (until you hit a price point) but honestly it’s an answer to a question that while has been asked, has a more effective answer.
