Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this loving the deep base sound but unfortunately after a week it started having a crumbling vibration sound

At first this speaker was amazing and we were excited. The sound was good and worked well. After 6 months or so the speaker would randomly disconnect. It also refused to connect to any device.....or it would connect then immediately stop playing music. Thankfully we already buy the replacement plan and took it back.

For some reason this thing sounded great at the store but when I got at home, it did not sound good at all. So I returned it and bought to Sonos era 100s. Which is awesome. Great base but not enough vocals

Pros: Portable Good volume Good bass Covered ports Cons: Heavy Initially sounded off without using the app This speaker can really get loud. The bass works very well and if you use the app the sound can be modified to your liking. The app takes a bit to get used to but works well. It's a little heavier than I anticipated but the size is nice enough that it's still portable. We have another smaller speaker from the same brand and the app let's the two connect and be used together which is a great added bonus. The dust proof and waterproof aspect are great as my husband likes to use this while working in the garage and I don't need to worry about it getting ruined. The port to plug your phone or charger in are also covered by a nice thick piece to protect it.

Sound is amazing but speaker suddenly stopped working 10mths later.

The speaker has quality sound and a lot of bass that’s why it does get a few stars even though I am not happy that for the price it doesn’t get very loud. I had it poolside in corona California on a sunny day got in the pool when I got out the tub was all deformed from the sun. Not waterproof nor sun proof smh your do better

is not what I expected, the sound very clear, but the volume very low

I don't understand how anyone can say that these work in party up mode. I purchased two and you get constant skipping, popping, and dropped connections when you pair them together. I have been trying for days to get them to work consistently but it seems impossible. They can be literally right on top of each other and you will still get bad connections. If you only connect one it seems to work fine, but as soon as you add a second they are both useless. I have an $80 pair of Oontz Angles that pair together flawlessly and never drop a connection. It can't be environmental interference if those speakers work fine. Meanwhile this $900 pair of speakers doesn't work at all. Now I just have to decide whether I return them both or keep one.

Not a great value for the price paid...expected a little more volume/sound than what we got.

Concerned about the waterproof nature of this device.

The UE Hyperboom is by far my most favorite Bluetooth speaker. Lots of solid Bass, clear Mids & Highs. It has a very well balanced sound. My co-workers felt like they were in a nightclub when i played music on it at work. With the Ultimate Ears app, you can boost the Bass with the EQ. Well worth the $450. The Hyperboom has made my favorite Bluetooth speaker the Sony SRS XG500 now my 2nd favorite, since the Hyperboom now took the top spot. The Sony SRS XG500 is also large portable speaker that sounds Awesome, it's just too big. The Ultimate Ears UE Hyperboom: (Pros) - Small for a large BT speaker, beautifully well balanced sound, great battery life, big fully rich sound in a small package, carrying handle, great simple to use app, pretty quick charging, simple to use controls, pretty much loud enough for a small party. (Xons) - Kinda Heavy, no IP67 rating, not waterproof, no USB type C support. Overall it is near perfection for a BT speaker. Great portability, great battery, big beautifully rich sound, at a fair price. I will definitely get another one for pairing & boosting my overall sound experience. Go get one, if you haven't yet, i recommend it.

Sounds great but does not have much volume. It is just not loud enough.

Ambience of the sound is good but bass is not decent and loud

Not nearly as loud as we hoped, even inside in a room, it wasn't enough. Haven't tried it outside yet, but I assume it will be less performance in a larger open area. Controls are a bit wonky, not clear.

Couldn't get it to sync with the bluetooth turntable.

The 3.5 jack was not working properly,, dill breaker

Pro: -Battery life -Room filling audio -Input types, 2 Bluetooth, Optical, and Aux -USB charge port Con: -Price -Lose sound details at louder levels -Touch buttons for volume can be hit and miss This speaker is impressive. It’s portable, albeit a bit heavy, and simple to set and use. The sound quality is amazing for such a small speaker and easily fills a room with full audio. The controls are simple and straightforward, with only the touch sensitive volume control being the minor critique. You have to hit it right in the middle of the “+” and “-” symbol. Having the various input types is great for an impromptu viewing and gaming sessions. There’s also a USB charging port for your phone. The battery life is impressively long. Having used it for 3-4 hours daily for a few days, the battery is still at 70%. The up to 24 hour claim seems to hold true. For filling a room with music, this is excellent. It can get real loud with a good balance of bass. It does loose some audio details at higher volumes, and definitely prioritizes volume over clarity. The softer instruments will get lost within its own loudness and bass. This is a party speaker, so it isn’t really suited for audiophiles listening for subtle nuance of the instruments. Using it in a closer proximity, such as using it as PC speakers or for a TV in a smaller room, it can almost replace a decent soundbar. The sound quality is better, but you lose some sound direction due to the speaker placement and size. I tried hooking it up with my PS4 and it’s a decent gaming experience and probably good for on the go.

What I don’t like is I pay more money now it was $450 and now it’s $400 that but I don’t like

Not impressed at all it has a great sound if you are standing right next to but if you steep back few steeps is sound like a cheap 40 bucks speaker.. for the price i specting way better sound..

Having owned many bluetooth speakers in the past I was quite surprised by the quality of the Ultimate Ears Hyperboom party speaker. Upon removing it from the box you can tell how well its built just by the weight of the speaker. Pairing both my iPhone and Pixel 3a to the speaker was uneventful and quite easy. You are able to easily pair 2 phones to the speaker and toggle between them just by hitting button You don't need to download the app in order to simply play music however you truly do not unlock the true potential of the speaker without. The speaker also has a USB out so you don't have to worry about your phone dying. Inputs on the speaker include bluetooth as well as a optical in and AUX in. The optical in port worked well during testing with my samsung tv The speaker came with a 30% charge in it so I was eager to see what it could do. The bass this thing outputs is enough rattle a few windows. The adaptive equalizer settings and preset modes for gaming, bass boost and podcast do a great job maximizing what you are listening to. The battery life on this thing is amazing. You will easily get a full 24 hrs on the battery when it is fully charged. These days since the kids are home from school and most of their activities are cancelled they enjoyed having a dance party in the backyard with the speaker. The speaker is definitely splash resistant because it did get splashed quite a bit as the kids jumped into the pool. The speaker also integrates a carry handle into it so it is easy to carry around. The silicone feet on the bottom also prevent it from rattling on the table for bass heavy music and they also add to the speakers overall stability. Overall I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a easily portable powerful bluetooth speaker
