Obwohl ich mich vor vielen Jahren vom deutschen Hifi-Forum verabschiedet habe, nachdem mich dort einige ungut attackiert haben, habe ich dieses Video hier extra für das Hifi-Forum aufgenommen, weil da immer noch alle verzweifelt nach den "besten" portablen Lautsprechern suchen und ich glaube dass der UBoom X diesen Ansprüchen durchaus gerecht werden kann, ganz zu schweigen vom Preis.

Ach ja, ich kann es kaum erwarten, den Lautsprecher zu bekommen! Eigentlich wollte ich zwei für Indoor-TWS holen, aber wenn tatsächlich "nur" der Studio- und die Outdoor-Modi verfügbar sind, bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob sich das lohnt. Das könnte entweder zu wenig oder definitiv zu viel mit den Outdoor-Modi sein. Es wäre ein absoluter Traum, wenn es noch einen speziellen TWS-Modus für drinnen auf Basis des Indoor+-Modus geben könnte. Klar, der DynamicEQ würde fehlen, aber das wäre für mich echt verschmerzbar. Der extrem tiefe Bass des Indoor+-Modus für TWS wäre einfach genial. Trotzdem freue ich mich wie ein kleines Kind! Ich verstehe zwar nicht, wie man einen Outdoor-Lautsprecher mit Strand- und Pool-Marketing im Oktober herausbringt, aber hey, bei mir wird er sowieso hauptsächlich drinnen genutzt.

Es gibt nicht wenige Orte, an denen man schwimmen/baden kann, wenn es bei uns nicht geht... 😉

Das ist überhaupt kein Problem, da Earfun wahrscheinlich auch eine „Notfall“ Firmware anbieten wird wo alle Modi keinen dynamischen EQ haben. Mir war eher wichtig dass der Klang auch bei niedrigen Lautstärken schön durchsetzungsfähig bleibt, ohne Bass und Höhenanhebung klingt das eher flach.

Hello Oluv, I heard in one of your videos that you would share an original firmware where they would improve all your tunings for the uboom x. Will you do it for uboom l too?

oluvsgadgets

No, they didn’t let me but yes I wanted to

Rodolfo Huerta

I understand. Will you also share the uboom x fw?

If you look at the first reviews, like Jay's Straight Up Reviews, it sounds completely different between the U X and Tribit. And his sample. Did EarFun make any changes recently?

Raelin Trenta

I think it's his recording method that's causing the Uboom X to sound like that. Not to mention he's playing it on the center of the table, using outdoor mode on his indoor setup, and his preferred EQ settings based on the default Earfun sound signature. He also did not volume match both speakers well, which is a no-no when doing a side-by-side comparison, especially since Oluv optimized the volume steps of the X. Then again, the Blast also sounded wonky, and it still has this peaky treble characteristic. Hard to say with only his sample IMO.

Jay fucked it up. He doesn’t have any clue about sound at all.

Oluv, in his audio, although he is fucked - it is true that in the outdor and outdor+ profiles at maximum volume you can hear very high distortion. As a sound engineer, I can understand why this is so, and I have questions for you: have you tried testing these outdor and outdor+ profiles with different devices? because ios and android control bluetooth sent sound and sound level differently. obviously when using different devices with the same speaker i have noticed that the maximum volumes are different. I think that the option here will be that his device is able to cause a higher level than necessary, and the dsp is no longer able to limit it. Either Earfun or yourself, you should handle the maximum output level. the problem is that when the uboom x gets to the masses, this problem can be very big and there will be big problems with it - even physical failures of the speaker.

p.s. view new recording w-king x20 vs uboom x in outside.

I wouldn’t take his recordings any seriously at all. He never plays them with matched volume and at maximum I could even hear the Earfun as louder than that huge Wking. Besides he doesn’t use the final firmware. Not sure why Earfun didn’t put that on their servers yet. 038 still had issues

Gintautas Gečas

I never watch his recordings simply because he doesn't record with binaural microphones but with integrated phone or camera microphones, I don't know, but the recordings are terrible. However, in this case, since I'm waiting for the uBoom X, I watched :) and noticed that specifically in outdoor modes, at maximum volume, even with such microphones as he uses, you can clearly hear significant distortions. Hopefully, he has a bad version of the software. But as for the different sound levels sent by different devices, this thing definitely exists. I’ve tested it myself on uBoom L, StormBox Blast, and Boom 2. On iOS, as a rule, the maximum volume is lower. Therefore, sometimes this situation may occur: if the maximum volume was calibrated without distortion on iOS, on Android, there may be distortions, and significant ones, considering that the speaker operates in a borderline mode.

Do you have any information, about when the 0.39 version is going to be available for us?
