Earfun UBoom X - final sound check (Patreon)
Content
I hope it’s not too much content at once but I immediately wanted to demonstrate the final sound after I had noticed there was too much bass for indoor mode in my previous teaser video.
To correct this I went out again and performed lots of measurements until it started to rain unfortunately. Because of this I didn't manage to seek for other possible errors. But I managed to correct bass amount for the final version and as I still had 1 day before deadline I spent the whole night tweaking the sound by ear for the best results at low levels until I was satisfied. It should sound even more transparent now which could also be a side effect of the flatter bass. After 2 hours of sleep I went out taking the Tribit for comparison and tried optimising high levels even more by making insane mode even louder and harsher. It seems people like that harshness at high levels, but the other modes should still remain more balanced overall. I cannot predict how much distortion will be left at highest settings, although I played the hardest tracks and tried to keep it as clean as possible, while even adding a bit more kick in the end. A dogwalker who got curious about what I was doing stopped and I showed him both speakers asking which he liked more. He immediately dismissed the Tribit saying that the only nice thing were the colored lights. Getting some honest opinion from some clueless actually really made me happy.
This here is the final version of my tuning which will be included within the speaker. There won’t be any corrections according to Earfun. As soon as I get the finished firmware I can finally start using the speaker normally and try it out in various locations, which unfortunately was quite a hassle with the PC attached all the time.
Please tell me how you like the result!
