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

The hyperboom, epic boom, and ever boom are all nice sounding and looking speakers. They are great if you can get them on sale. I own all three since i wanted to take advantage of the multi speaker feature. I don’t like the sound of the mega boom down, but i have not heard the 4’s yet.

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

The hyperboom isn't anything out of the ordinary compared to many other speakers. It only hits down to 50Hz, which is pretty disappointing for its price. I could grab a Partybox 120 for the same amount, and it goes down to 35Hz.

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

We use hyperboom. It is pricey but the battery lasts. And it is loud and portable.

Ultimate ears Hyperboom. Amazing sound quality, when you turn off EQ there is no delay. And great battery capacity. I use it with my prime go.

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.

measuremnts of that speaker on rtings don't look as good as everyone was expecting with bass roll off. they seem to mention "good bass extension" in the text to avoid getting sued or something, but the measurements don't lie and another bit of text says Hyperboom sounds better it and gets even louder. I think sound is king here but the high price and extremely poor battery life make it seem even worse.

[https://www.rtings.com/speaker/tools/compare/ultimate-ears-hyperboom-vs-brane-x/10002/49356?usage=10159&threshold=0.10](https://www.rtings.com/speaker/tools/compare/ultimate-ears-hyperboom-vs-brane-x/10002/49356?usage=10159&threshold=0.10)  not trying to make any sort of point just going by the data here. as you can see in frequency response, hyperboom digs down flat to about 60hz while brane seems to roll drop in output much earlier. I was kinda expecting the brane's bass to look like the hyperboom response except dig right down flat to 35hz or something. I can see a small bump at around 30hz on the brane but that's about -15dB compared to the 150hz\~200hz bass peak so not sure how audible it will be when the bass line is playing that loud up there in the battery section hyperboom claimed to last 23.9 hours. brane 5.2 hours. with both taking 2.5hours to charge. rtings doesn't test battery life at max volume either, pretty sure it's at moderate volume so somewhere above 50%. honestly seems like the brane has some bass extension and you will probably be able to hear it at lower volumes but looks like the new speaker tech has its limits and can’t keep up the lower bass as you turn up the volume and play it loud. I think it has something to do with compression as you can see hyperboom has almost none while brane test has plenty. don’t get me wrong it was a cool concept (review mentions when you power on a pump makes the pressure inside the speaker equal to outside) but just not the performance I was expecting for a 9 x 6.5 inch woofer.

Sounds like none of you have heard the Hyperboom.If there's a better sounding speaker in the same price range I haven't found it.

I've spent time with "..many other speakers" but I will always come home to my pair of Hyperbooms. They make everything else sound diet or salt reduced or Christian or something.

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

Yes, it is definitely good enough to enjoy. I'd likely go for (the start of) a Sonos or Audio Pro multiroom setup. At different locations I have a classical 2.1 setup and a setup with dual UE Hyperboom speakers. I enjoy both, but my 2.1 setup is much better. But I can't carry it around and set it up outdoors...

I have an Ultimate Ears Hyperboom, and a JBL PartyBox 710. They’ve both been great. The JBL will blow your ears out if you’re not careful, though
