Just wanted to say hello from Croatia to everyone and send you warm greetings and a big thanks for all your support.

I have 1 UBoom X with me, there was not enough space to bring another one. But meanwhile I could try out 949 in the open space as well as indoors and I am quite satisfied with the result. I am mostly digging the new ground mode which offers a very nice yet punchy sound with the speaker placed at the ground. It’s not as excessively bass boosted as the other outdoor modes and also sounds nicely open at low levels. It’s supposed to be listened from above but I actually like the additional clarity.

I sent everyone who purchased 048 before an own discount code or you contacted me before, so I think everyone got his code to get all firmwares for cheaper.

I hope you like the result. I couldn’t try 950 with 2 speakers playing in stereo, therefore I still hope for some feedback from you. Just let me know what you like and what you don’t and if you prefer 949 over 048, as some complained it to be too bright, while suddenly 949 is supposed to be too dark now 🤪.

I am currently dealing out my upcoming new microphones and should hopefully get several new pairs in about 2 weeks so I can start shooting some new videos and also continue with my other work. It will take some time to fine tune the new microphones though. I may start working wirh 2 pairs first and keep the others as spare.

Thanks to everyone and see you soon.

My brother 949 is amazing this is indeed a farewell firmware to the uboom X which is soon to be discontinued. 0.39 isn't bad but 949 shows the true power of a fully optimized unit.

I used the discount code to purchase the full firmware pack, but haven't had time to try or 949 yet to compare it with 048. I DO have to say that I'm super jealous of you Europeans and the insane number of vacations you guys seem to be able to take. I swear you guys are in some other country on the beach every other month -- meanwhile, I'm lucky to go to another state for vacation once every 6 to 10 YEARS. *sigh* 'Murica...

Where do you get your in-ear mics and what's the process for reading their output as in how flat are they and so do you consider all deviations to be from your anatomy?

They are custom built by micbooster and I have a final response they need to achieve, so every pair needs to be individually tuned.

Europe is much smaller so you can visit another beach every day

950 sounds very good to me when paired in stereo in my living room. I didnt find anything i would change so far. Today i tried 949 at my job which is a small narrow space and the only place to put the speaker is on top of a glass cake display. Desktop mode makes a difference in this usecase because with indoor it becomes a little boomy.

Welcome to Croatia🙂 I'm in Omis right now like I said you before. UboomL is with me because sadly there was no room in car for UboomX. Thank you once again for UboomX and enjoy your vacation

We are in Bol, maybe we could meet in Supetar 😜

Next week we are planning excursion to Pucisca and Postira on Brac...if we change our excursion to Bol I will let you know😀

I had upgraded to the higher tier to get the 048 firmware before you put it in the shop. Is it possible to get a discount code in that situation too? 😅 Would appreciate it! Have a nice vacation ;)

Raelin Trenta

This is my situation as well, upgraded to enthusiast tier to get firmware 048. I was wondering if we could somehow get a discount code to the firmware pack. Looking forward for Oluv's response.

Kann es kaum abwarten. Wann ist der Release :D

Oluv, I have been using .949 for a few days and I must say that this is a significant improvement! I find it to provide balanced, clear, and crisp sound over a variety of music genres. Thank You for all of your efforts!!

I am very curious to try out 2 in stereo with 950.

949 sounds absolutely amazing and is definitely a big upgrade! I'm still amazed at how much sound this thing can produce. That said, the lower bass gets pretty boomy when you use the UBOOM in small rooms or apartments (it’s just got too much power 💪). An easy fix is to use the Qudelix 5K's EQ via AUX. That basically gives you a fully adjustable DSP inside the speaker, plus LDAC and 0.5 dB volume steps 🧠. Big thanks to Oluv for your amazing work and this awesome product – I’ve had so much fun with it so far 🤩
