Earfun UBoom X vs JBL Boombox 3 - outdoor (Patreon)

I had shot this last week for the public but was not that satisfied with the result. In the meantime I finally got the app with all my settings and went out again to shoot another video against the Boombox which will probably replace this. I would like to share this video here with you anyhow simply to not raise any false hopes as the UBoom X cannot replace a Boombox 3 if one is after the strongest bass and highest loudness. Depending on the mode the Earfun will play even louder with more bass than the Boombox but it won’t remain as controlled at high levels and can distort with particular recordings while the JBL should remain perfectly clean all the time.

I still prefer the Earfun for normal use if there is no need for highest levels. But I noticed that I need to redo some modes after having used the speaker outdoor now for some time. Outdoor mode becomes too uncontrolled at high levels as I had boosted bass even more afterwards with my latest setting. And I am not satisfied with ground O mode either as treble is compressed too much at high levels which kills the omnidirectional character somehow. I will try to boost treble even more and reduce treble compression and maybe base this setting on Boom xxx bass response instead of outdoor+ as this also tended to become a bit out of control at highest levels and was not loud enough.
