Just wanted to demonstrate you the difference in sound between the initial firmware and the most recent one as some may even like my very first settings more because they are all bass heavier than my latest attempts where I rather tired to keep distortion better under control.

Unfortunately Earfun decided to disable dynamic EQ for all my outdoor modes for the final firmware as my settings are too complex and cause issues with wireless stereo pairing due to DSP overload. They also wanted to disable dynamic EQ for the indoor modes which I refused, therefore I am planning to offer a custom EQ with all my settings as originally intended and an own desktop mode instead of studio.

I will offer all relevant firmware versions for you to choose from here on Patreon including the initial firmware and the one I am using in this video which still has all modes with dynamic EQ enabled. You can freely install these versions manually with the updater app just like with the UBoom L. With the Earfun app OTA you will only get the most recent firmware which has the limitations mentioned before.

For the custom firmware I will also try to do some further improvements where necessary and if Earfun approves this.

In an upcoming video I would like to demonstrate you the difference of my indoor and outdoor modes with and without dynamic EQ to show you how big or small the difference really will be.

Could they disable dynamic EQ (or switch to that profile) only when TWS pairing a 2nd speaker? That seems like it should be theoretically possible, and then there won't be this mess of different firmware. That seems like a reasonable tradeoff.

I will use your custom firmware if this can be brought to life. I always hated when i put it on a table that the sound became uppes bass focussed and honky. And i dont want to lose the dynamic eq.

I wish to have a desktop mode, but if I have to choose between these two I would keep the studio mode for me, since I think the table reflection wouldn't be too bad and you can choose between indoor and indoor+, A complete flat sound mode would be more unique and interesting compared to desktop mode.

the newer version is better for my taste, clean and deep bass, I can't wait for this😭!

To me the newer firmware does sound much more refined. Especially the indoor modes. For the outdoor modes in my opinion the refinement is slightly better for new version but I only miss the deeper bass cut which made the old one sounding more imposing. Over all I would say you did a great job. Can't wait to get one.

Hey Oluv, will you or Earfun still provide the current firmware used for the unit in the right of this video? (Talking about all 7 EQs with dynamic EQ enabled) TWS is not an option for me. I would still prefer to have your studio mode available. If this isn't possible, I guess we'll wait for your custom firmware.

Hi oluv, if you didn't record the video with and without dynamic eq, could you play those tracks i suggested some time ago? (Which you also used in the bass issues video). If this could be possible it would be great! If not it's of course no problem👍🏼

I was going to buy 2 and tws them. Will use them indoor 90% of the time. But I don't fully understand the tws situation from the video. Could this be expanded upon later? Otherwise I will buy one :) Definitely excited!

Untrained ear here. I'm sure some bass heads will love the first version, but the second one sounds amazing. The details are not drowned out by the bass. Great work.

The new firmware sounds more natural on every setting, upper bass rendering is nicer, treble is smoother and everything is more separated. I would still be interested in the studio mode but desktop is probably a better use for most. Honestly cannot wait to try it myself 👍

Silent

keep the studio mode!

Also für mir persönlich, wenn ich richtig verstanden habe das das ältere Gerät rechts und das neuere Gerät links steht, gefällt mir die alte Variante besser, ich hätte wahrscheinlich auch zwei geordert aber die neueren Version ist nicht so meins, kein richtiger Tiefbass, eher mehr Oberbass und irgendwie langweiliger Sound. Sorry

New Indoor+ mode sounds great. The old one was harsh and losing detail.

Nein, links spielt die erste Firmware, rechts die aktuelle

Overall, I miss the deeper bass in the new firmware. I'm talking about the deeper, warmer part, not the overall quantity of bass, but the quality. For me, the new indoor is sometimes far too flat, while the old one is far too boomy. Indoor Plus might be the right amount, but just as with some of the outdoor modes, I have the feeling that it doesn't go down deep enough now, somehow the overall balance is a bit different for me with the new settings. A little distortion at maximum volume is also never a problem for me if there is a setting to reduce it. The maximum level is rarely used by most people I think, those who need it really loud will have to buy something like a JBL partybox either way, they won't be satisfied with such a 'small' speaker. Anyway, the treble sounds better with the new indoor settings, but for outdoor use it is hard to say from this test. It's really hard for me to choose between the two firmwares, because I'd rather go for a golden middle. I also find all these firmware variations and settings a bit confusing. I really like and find the best solution the way the Earfun with Free Pro 3 TWS Earbuds solves all my problems by delivering EQ settings from Oluv and the ability to easily tweak them to my own ear and taste, but I know that's a completely different cup of tea.

Ach so, na dann ändert es natürlich alles. Vielen Dank für die Info. MfG

Nice. Is there any way I could purchase Uboom X?

Mario Strugger

Hallo Oluv tolles Video wieder einmal!👌🏻 PS: Wird ein EQ von dir zu den neuen Air Pro 4 kommen oder vielleicht sogar ein kleines Review?

Joy & Oluv'Sone

Kann ich noch nicht sagen, ersteindruck war ganz passabel, aber keine Ahnung ob der interne EQ reicht um was passables hinzubekommen

Drew M

Another idea. Would they allow you to create TWS and non-TWS (dynamic) EQs which would allow the user to select the one that makes sense? This is assuming there's enough storage for all these EQs. I just hate to see people having to load up old firmware with possibly older features to get the best sound out of a device.

It was supposed to release in July originally but I think it will release in the Fall. Maybe September or October?
