No Earfun UBOOM Lโฆ So much for an โUltimate guideโ
Dexter
July 24, 2022 at 3:56 pm
I want it all when it comes to sound and the Earfun didnโt come close to providing that
Also, way too many hoops to jump through with that firmware update, especially considering I donโt have/do windows
Iโm glad it worked out for you though
Btw, one of my go to speakers is the Tribit MaxSound Plus
Niels Deluca
July 24, 2022 at 4:54 pm
@Dexter I agree that the firmware shouldve been just through the app. Especially considering the impact of that update but still in the end it is worth it and makes the speaker a bargain.
Dexter
July 24, 2022 at 5:45 pm
If they had an app. Iโm sure theyโre developing one now though.
Niels Deluca
July 24, 2022 at 7:14 pm
@Dexter They have one that is the weird part โEarfun Audioโ so seems like an easy enough process
Dexter
July 24, 2022 at 7:24 pm
Oh. Ok. I wonder if theyโre going to connect the Uboom L to the app. Probably in order to use the app youโll need to update the firmware first. Which is kind of a catch 22

Finally pulled the trigger on 2 SoundLink Flex in Carmine Red. The new color and reduced price, and my positive experience with a SoundLink Micro, Iโm looking forward to trying them out.

I have 4 Wonderboom 2โs. Itโs so durable, solid sound outdoors, and very waterproof. When Iโm playing it at the pool, Iโll pretend I hate a song, and launch my Wonderboom into the pool, to the dismay of my guests. When I take it out and its still playing, the look on their faces is priceless. Lol. Itโs also such a perfect size for travel!
Dexter

Iโm champing at the bit for the Wonderboom 3. Hopefully that version will have a smidge more bass. My only complaint

The Anker Soundcore Boom has a great sound for the price. I have yet to be disappointed by them.

Whatโs with all the dumb facial expressions and miming ? Makes a fair review seem infantile and distracts from the information. And ditch the piercings while youโre at it. This is supposed to be a professional review.

Anker Motion+ or boom official site ( price down 10-20-30% only .. 1 mouth ~ price so down for 2-3 days only watching )! Price JBL baying 2 or 3 Anker speakerโs!

JBL would be my pick too with that phone charging option.
I bought a UE Boom 2 years ago based off recommendation and havenโt needed to buy anything else since.
Interesting seeing the technology changing so quickly and am excited to see what I will replace it with some day.
Thanks for the upload.

The wonderboom for a few people by the pool. The motion boom for a little party or the pub and the motion boom + for a party of 20 + People. Itโs as simple as that. All sound awesome. Turn it up !!! ๐๐๐
