So today ultimate ears invited me out to get a sneak peek at their new UE HYPERBOOM.
And quite frankly there's a lot to be excited about here.
The Hyperboom dwarfs all of UE's other speakers currently in their line up and it's just in
time for the new JBL BOOMBOX 2.
And at a retail price of $350 the Hyperboom makes a very compelling argument.
Now this is merely a first impressions video so be on the lookout for a full review.
But if you want to pick the Hyperboom up it'll be linked down below.
Now the Hyperboom is a wireless Bluetooth speaker that packs an advertised battery life
of 24 hours.
But at full volume the engineers behind this speaker promise a solid 3 to 4 hours of playtime.
Which is not bad at all given at the amount of sheer bass this speaker is cranking out
in such a relatively small form factor.
Now when it comes to portability this speaker has a built in carrying handle, weighs in
at 13 pounds, has a full wrap around fabric body and it's ipx4 water resistant.
So if this speaker gets splashed on or if it gets caught in the rain it'll be fine.
So this speaker could be a good option for summer 2020.
Now when it comes to sound like I mentioned earlier this thing has an impressive amount
of bass coming out of it.
But it also gets very loud as well.
Now admittedly I only get to hear songs while I was recording it but I wanna say this speaker
is up there with the JBL BOOM BOX.
Now the Hyperboom connects to UE's app so from there you can adjust the eq on it so
you can make it sound however you want.
But this speaker also has a built in microphone and automatically adjusts its EQ depending
on whatever room you're in so that you're getting the best sound quality out of it.
Mainly so the bass doesn’t get over powering.
This is very similar to what the homepod does but UE is using their own algorithm.
But something that really stands out on the Hyperboom is it's port set up.
You've got your audio jack and you've get a USB a out so that you can charge your own
phone...
But there's also an digital optical port so you can hook this speaker up to your TV, gaming
console or to a receiver if you wanted to.
But more importantly this speaker can be connected to two devices at the same time and you can
even switch between each device directly from the speaker.
But finally when it comes to pairing this speaker up to other speakers I'm happy to
say that this speaker has party up.
So you can either hook a Hyperboom up to another Hyperboom or you can hook it up to a boom
3 or megaboom 3.
So if you already have one of UE's smaller speakers then the Hyperboom will fit right
right in.
But over all, the all new Hyperboom has made a great first impression.
This speaker packs a lot of sound in a relatively small package.
This speaker is great to use at home but you can also take on the go with you if you want.
But more importantly this speaker ticks off all the right boxes.
It has multi device connectivity, it has an audio jack, its compatible with UE’s older
speakers ad it even has an optical port which is rare for a bluetooth speaker like this.
But like I’ve said, this is merely a first impressions video.
Be on a look out for a full on review in the future.
