"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)."

"The CCA trio and the Vader Balanced are similarly tuned, but both are one of the best iems under 30 usd."
"I downgraded from the meet 2 to se since I was only using 1080p and am happy with my choice! ... If you’re planning on just doing 1080p I’d save the cash and go meet se."
"JLab go sport + FTW. ... I have the same sweaty ear issue and the beats fall out of my head. ... The jlab are cheap and even they stay in. (Because they hook over your ear)"

"both the earbuds and case are entirely waterproof. They've been worn in the shower and heavy rain, dropped in puddles, even gone through the washer."
"It took over 5 years for one of the buds to give out and stop charging, and I still happily use the other bud all night every night. ... Absolute beasts"
"and in the shower too and theyre waterproofed really well! ... dropped them in a tub of water by accident and they’re just fine."

"personally, i really like the 360-degree design as it sounds similar regardless of your listening angle which is handy in a portable speaker."
"The 360-degree design of the UE speakers is a real benefit IMO."
"UE MegaBoom 4 good 360 sound."

"No it doesnt. it rolls of massively starting 65hz. ... at 60hz, you're already -10 db, which makes itvery muted compared to the rest. ... Anything under will be almost inexistant to human ears"
"Horrible bass. ... Could not hear myself until I upgraded to some nicer mackies."
"I started with the Shure 215 and it had NO bottom end (atleast not to my taste)."

"It does not have a powerbank"
"I wished the soundcore had the powerbank function too"
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 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? ->Bose SL Flex 2 is a great unit, especially at the price point. B&O lower end models are unfortunately lacking in the bass department but their directivity is damn good. Personally the UE models weren’t all that great. I appreciate a better range versus directivity which is why I went with the Bose. For the size, I would say the Bose has the deepest bass for the size while handling mids and treble well. I tried: UE Megaboom 4, B&O Explore, Bose SL Flex
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for a good BT Home speaker with great sound quality/clarity over everything else ->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 ->Listen if you want premium build quality and good quality sound then go for Beats Pill 2024 or Bose Flex 2nd gen. If you want loudness and rugged speaker that you can rough use a lot, go for Ultimate Ears Boom4 or Sony Ult1 or JBL Flip6. Please don’t go for Chinese brands because they don’t last long.
