Ultimate EarsHYPERBOOM Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Loud Wireless Speaker with Big Bass, Water-Resistant IPX4, 150 Ft Range, 24-Hour Battery Life - White

Given the size and price of this amplified speaker, I was expecting something much better. I’m especially surprised by all the very good and constructive reviews. I feel this speaker unquestionably falls short in sound quality. It does appear to be well made and feels like a quality product. The one thing it’s meant to do, is to play music and fill medium to large spaces with authority — especially with its size and power amplification compared to other portable Bluetooth or smart speakers. I found the bass to be muddy and distracting—even after adjusting the EQ levels. It’s like a low-end home theatre subwoofer that stands out like a sore thumb, rather than completing the frequency range with any coherency. The whole tonal balance is very off kilter. To my ears, it sounds as if certain frequencies are missing altogether. I streamed HD music on Tidal and Qobuz that I know very well, and it sounded different in an unpleasant and fatiguing way. I can’t decide if this is due to the hardware limitations, or the default EQ settings. I was not able to get this to sound right using the EQ adjustments, so I assume the former. So, if the purpose is to fill a large, crowded, and otherwise noisy space (keg party) with boomy sounds — it does the job. If you’re considering this as a patio speaker to enjoy casual listening, it will likely disappoint.

I purchased several Bluetooth speakers that were rated very good or great... but when I got em’ my opinion was quite different…they did not deliver and they definitely did not impress me… wasted money and time…Let’s face it a speaker is an engine that moves air. Size does matter. This speaker is an example of proper proportions and no wasted space… it should not be smaller.. also batteries need space…considering all of that… this is as big as needs to be…. no compromise = great sound and battery life. I really know this sounds great you’ll have to take my word for it. Yea it costs a bit but worth it..I will admit I am kind of a show off… after hearing everyone else’s Bluetooth speaker… I can’t wait for them to hear mine :)

This speaker is cool looking and will definitely get attention when you first bring it to your outing. The volume is loud enough but it's not as loud as I thought it would be. Not concert loud enough, just loud enough for your car, picnic, park gathering or chill at the beach.

6 hours MAX battery. I've used this speaker 4 times with different volume settings and each time it dies COMPLETELY before the 6 hour mark. If you plan on leaving it plugged in, then buy it. If you plan on using it outdoors with just it's battery, DO NOT BUY. Get a JBL instead.

My son turned me on to this speaker. Just know that you must use app for best results. This speaker cranks. Clear, deep bass sound. Glad I got it. Worth the price!
