I decided to purchase another UBoom X, meanwhile it would seem they are really gone from amazon.de

After updating to 949, I put it against another unit I had bought some months ago. Here you can hear the difference between both, which is definitely bigger than expected.

Probably due to low quality production the differences can be quite big not only resulting in different frequency response but also more rattling from one unit to the other, which is quite unfortunate. Still I tried to make the Uboom X somehow special, as my original unit had no issues at all and has the deepest bass with least distortion compared to all other units I got afterwards. As this was my reference unit back then, I was sure all units would be more or less like this

Oluv, not to mention EarFun, which is just cheap Chinese crap — even with JBL, for example the Charge 6, the TL and GG versions sound different. A company like that should be able to standardize the units produced in different factories to absolute consistency. A buyer definitely shouldn’t get silly ideas about having to pick the GG version specifically. I bought a camouflage-colored Charge 6, and it turned out to be TL. Yet everywhere people say that the camouflage one is supposed to be GG. Now I don’t know what to do — return it or not — since I have no real way to compare it with GG.

Difference between units is obvious here, I'm curious if there are two "groups" of units which sound similar because they're from the same production batch. If that's the case, it could theoretically be possible to create that final firmware for both types of units although that would be a ton of work... How is the Boombox 3 wifi performing so far?

Last year I ordered 3 uboom X. The first one sounds amazing, the other 2 had an obvious rattle in the passive radiator at around 50 Hz, plus the sound was generally not as smooth. I returned the 2 defective units, but I still use the original one all the time.

Maybe the tweeters are defective on the dull sounding unit? But to be honest we cant expect perfection for a hundred euros... They have to cut the price at every production step to make it so cheaply

I have shot a more detailed indoor comparison with the 3 WiFi today. I am not sure which I like most

Unfortunately, I have tested many of them and, sadly, many of them were duds. I also noticed that they weigh different amounts, which makes me wonder whether different passive radiators were used?

In which sense duds? Without having some „normal“ units it’s not quite possible to select a dud.
