"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"I love the bass and the vocals—both come through clean and clear. ... Bass is punchy with good sub-bass rumble, but it stays clean and doesn’t bleed into the mids. ... It’s got a nice texture too—more balanced and fun compared to sets like the Zero 2 or Hola."
"these do perform extremely well in vocal and instrument centric songs. ... everything else felt like a day and night difference between the hexa and the enco buds, especially vocals."
"Clarity/detail retrieval is great. ... Figuring out different enemies from there footsteps is easy. ... it was the 1st time i realized just how detailed footsteps, gun reloading and shooting sounds in val were after I used the iems. Insane."

"The build quality is amazing, thing is a tank (99% sure it could stop a bullet). ... I have it for 5-6 years now, pretty much bought it right after release and its still every bit as good as it was out of the box. ... And I use it day and night, summer and winter, water or ice, be it +30C or -30C whatever."
"Been in some nasty weather and is excellent. ... never leaks"
"Several times under heavy Rain and was great"

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"after about 6 months of use, the battery life fell off dramatically. ... I'm lucky if I get 45 minutes out of a full charge. ... This battery issue affected both sets of Elite 65t earbuds."
"my vivoactive 4s died a few months ago now after a few good years services, I wanted to change it. I couldn't because I had the change the whole watch, planned obsolescence."

"it lacks in subbase and highest highs"
"I prefer the sound and bass of the JBL."
"the highs are a bit wonky ... can't pinpoint the issue but there is a little something making the audio a touch weird."

"Also that SW5 is the biggest joke of a "flagship" subwoofer I've ever seen. ... I had an old Sony 5.1 AV unit with a single 8" subwoofer and let me tell you, it was so much better than this SW5, Like twice the performance at about the same size. ... Hell I honestly can't personally even recommend Sony until they release new subwoofers cause these subs are just ass. ... The Sonos Mini Sub was legitimately half the size, sounded 10x better & honestly can probably get louder too."
"the treble doesn't roll of smoothly causing strain to ears."
"I was genuinely baffled in not just music but in games as well with my 7hz timeless iems, never going back"

"I also hate that it's micro-usb"
"this version uses micro USB to charge."
"used Micro USB"
I can't comment on the Hyperboom as I've never heard one. However, I have heard various generations of the Boom and Megaboom and I can tell you that these definitely don't sound good at all.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as JBL ->I can't comment on the Hyperboom as I've never heard one. However, I have heard various generations of the Boom and Megaboom and I can tell you that these definitely don't sound good at all.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as JBL ->I have the UE Megaboom 3 and the JBL Flip 6. I prefer the sound and bass of the JBL. Really impressive for its size.
r/EDM • Best Bluetooth speaker? ->I have a UE mega boom. I recommend.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Bluetooth speakers... Milwaukee vs JBL vs Anker ->I bought one of the Ultimate Ears Boom 2 years ago and have never needed to buy another. Great bit of kit, maybe you can find one NOS?
r/australia • Bluetooth Portable Speaker ->I bought a UE mega boom about 7ish years ago and it’s seen some things. Used at almost full volume every day in a body shop 5 days a week for 2 of those years. Been left out in the rain, dropped, dust covered. Still going strong. Still holds a charge.
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->My first setup looked exactly like this, except I had a UE Megaboom connected via rca-headphone jack cable. Worked great until I got monitor speakers.
r/PioneerDJ • Portable Speaker Options to Pair With DDJ FLX4 ->I have a UE megaboom which has been knocking around for around 10 years and the battery still rocks. At some stage it started failing and I looked up a Reddit post which said to stick it in the freezer overnight and reset it. This was 4 years ago and it's still going strong.
r/BuyItForLife • Bose SoundLink bt speaker 2017 - best battery I have seen on any electronics ->Imo boom is already small enough, I could gladly carry around a mega boom everywhere tho..
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Is it worth getting a small speaker when I already got a UE boom 2 for portability? ->Not really, it’s the sound in general. It’s not a great sounding speaker.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as JBL ->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
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as JBL ->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
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as 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
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as JBL ->It’s a shame really cause they have a great design and durability. Wish the sound was on par with JBL’s
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I wonder why Ultimate Ears struggles to perform as well as JBL ->For bass-heavy performance, you might also consider Ultimate Ears (UE) Megaboom 3
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best portable wireless speaker in terms of bass ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
