![]() When a loudspeaker is placed in a corner, the bass frequencies can sometimes become muddied due to the sound bouncing off of the walls, so the Hyperboom compensates for this by dampening the bass. In addition, you also get a five-band EQ that allows you to adjust the sound, and the ability to turn on and off the Adaptive EQ function, which automatically adapts the sound to your surroundings. Here you get the opportunity to connect several UE speakers and use them together, switch the audio source, and adjust the volume, as well as presetting up to four different playlists in Amazon Music, Deezer or Spotify, which can be started by holding down the Play button for three seconds. The associated Boom app contains a few more adjustment and control options. This may seem a little limited to some, but Ultimate Ears believes that Bluetooth is easier to use spontaneously at parties – and we tend to agree. It’s worth noting that Hyperboom is only equipped with Bluetooth and not WiFi connectivity. When you switch to a new device, the previous music source is automatically faded out, while the new device starts playing from where it last left off. It also comes in handy that it has IPX4 water-resistance certification, which ensures that it can handle splashes from a pool, while a spilled drink shouldn’t end the party. The overall impression we get from the construction of the UE Hyperboom is that it’s very solid, and it will probably withstand being transported and used in different environments without being damaged. This was explained to us by UE's product manager, Doug Ebert, who said that the company wanted to “deliver the best possible listening experience with a proper stereo image”, rather than ensuring 360-degree sound with a cylindrical build. It also differs from similar party speakers from competitors such as JBL and Sony, which are often less subdued and sometimes come equipped with flashing lights in all the colors of the rainbow.Īnother thing that distinguishes it from previous models is that it has a square shape. At the same time, Ultimate Ears has chosen to make the Hyperboom a little more discreet by opting for a black finish, rather than the many colorful options you can choose from when buying a Boom or Megaboom. I already paid for the device and convinced others to get Booms, too.Ultimate Ears' speakers often boast a sporty design that is characterized by mesh fabric covers and plastic hardware, and the Hyperboom continues in this tradition. It shouldn't be a hunt to find the desktop application for updates. To Logitech: the process for updates is overly-complicated and not user-friendly. Luckily another user showed the way and I can confirm it worked. Right now, this process is cumbersome and confusing. ![]() Ultimate Ear's phone software disables functionality unless you agree to upgrade the firmware on every single device on their timetable. Afterward I initiated the second update for each UE Boom through the phone application. First I had to download and run the Windows installer with one Boom plugged in at a time-which I must admit I was leery about since the first hyperlink didn't work. I just refreshed the firmware for two UE Booms to gain back stereo functionality in the same fashion Jeggen described above. I want to thank Jeggen for the posts here and confirm another successful update.
