Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had it for a week and had to return it. It wont get loud enough until i raise the volume at about 80% or more. Its bad because that means the battery life will be shorter. I had to buy another boombox 2 instead.

I wanted the loudest, bassiest (not a word but work with me people) portable indoor/outdoor speaker, with minimum 8-hour battery life. Hyperboom checked all the boxes plus some. This is not a smart speaker and I am happy about it, my life doesn't need or want any additional electronics listening or capturing my image. The Hyperboom is a Bluetooth (not wifi) speaker with amazing tone, clarity, and thump at whatever volume or location you choose to enjoy music. I listen to jazz, rnb, reggae, hip hop and classical, this speaker plays it all masterfully. PROS: No distortion - Outstanding tone, clarity, and bottom at whatever volume you choose to listen too Sounds outstanding indoors and outdoors (can withstand water splashes and tumbles without fear) Great Battery life IT CAN GET LOUD!! Ability to pair with other UE Bluetooth speakers Multiple input options Multiple Bluetooth connections to “share” the party CONS: Heavy and awkwardly portable (unfortunately his isn’t the good old boombox that you can carry on a shoulder or with help of a guitar strap. It has a carry handle but the shape and weight keep it from being an enjoyable task) No WIFI (not upsetting to me, however, given the price it is a feature that should have been present) Software is the only way to adjust the equalizer and see battery status.

I have tested out a couple of other UE products and always have the same mixed feelings about the brand and the same feelings about the products... We as consumers identify with products and or brands by the quality, price, and or what they offer. UE has solidified themselves as a superior portable sound device manufacturer. But I feel like they don't understand their market entirely and this speaker is another prime example of this fact. The HyperBoom is EVERYTHING you would want in a pool side party speaker. It has an endless battery, Freaking incredible sound, and some bells and whistles to thrill the party goers. The speaker is very heavy (like maybe too heavy :( but the quality of the build and design is evident upon first touch. The app is very intuitive and super easy to use. This allows for quick set up and easy access during use for the owner and up to three more guests. The reception for the Bluetooth is quite wide and you should easily be able to move freely about without loss of connectivity (within reason of course). UE does not provide cables to do so but I did hook up my TV to it and you would not be wrong to utilize this monster as your standalone sound bar. As I was saying though it is everything you would want in a "Party" speaker. However, UE made a teen to young adult speaker at the quality and price range an "Adult" would look for and buy. My meaning is UE in my opinion should have made this speaker "a little less" to better appeal to who I think their target audience would actually be for this item. Because I think the price range puts it on more my price sheet and less what I would buy my daughter. My daughter would want all these features and not the price or bulkiness. Whereas at this price range and weighted design, I would want this speaker more as an office companion so I would not need all these Party features (a digital assistant would have been a nice addition either way). Long story short, UE had made another fantastic product (hence the 5 stars), but I think may have missed who they should be gearing their products towards. I don’t know though; I could be completely wrong, and the young adult market could be strong enough to support growth from this type of product???

Batterie dies out fast after playing it on high for 2-4 hours then the device loses the volume… I’d never buy any future hyperboom speakers again.

Do your homework, theres plenty of youtube vids to watch or reviews that should be able to help you out on what your looking for. that said, this thing packs a punch. full sound and the low end really comes thru when placed infront of a wall. i got mine mainly for the backyard bbq events and this beast took the place of a megaboom. gonna get one in white for my computer. logitech has always put out some good sounding speakers. gotta love the volume touch keys on top for fast volume adjustments, especially if your playlist doesnt have that auto volume leveling. Haven't ran it from full charge to dead in one run so i really dont know how long it lasts, but ive usually run it 4-6 hrs at 50-75/80% volume and ive gotta a long weekend of jams out of it. i wouldnt worry about ranch unless your going a couple of houses down, cuz i went to neighbors across da street and we could still hear it.

After 3 hours of use at 80% volume the bass rattled and distorted horribly. UE customer support was of no help nor offered any recourse. Just unplug it. Just switch phones. Update the firmware etc. Was able to return it back to Best Buy. Will not buy again especially after dealing with Ultimate Ears customer support. Best Buy was great. The speaker and Ultimate Ears was not.

Didnt last 10 months. Sound was cool but battery wont hold a charge. Used occasionally not enough for it to give up

Defected speaker but went back to Best Buy and exchanged for another one

Trash. Have had it for a little over a month and a half. Used it on average about 3-4 hours a day. The manual power button doesn’t work. The app doesn’t connect. Customer service is severely lacking. Contacted them and was very specific about what was going on. No response. I’m returning this and not supporting the company again. Don’t buy this piece of garbage.

Good product I like it is my third one I enjoy my speakers

After 3 hours of use at 60% volume the bass rattled and distorted even when you set to -0 the bass eq on the app, after that hapened I turned off the speaker, wait for 1 hour turn on again and sound great again, but after 2 hours the same problem again.

I’ve recently had a chance to spend some time with ultimate ears newest portable Bluetooth speaker. The first thing people will notice is how big and heavy this thing is. It being heavy is not necessarily a good thing but it’s heavy for a reason. It’s got a huge battery that UE claims can last 24 hours at medium sound levels. It’s also not just one speaker, it has a pair of subwoofers, a pair of regular speakers and a pair of tweeters as well as the battery all packed in. 13lbs total Everything about this speaker has a premium feel to it, Premium parts, premium plastics, premium sound, and a premium price. This thing feels like it was designed to be played at house parties and it is especially perfect for backyard parties as well. I turned it up to its highest level and it remains crystal clear, no distortion. In the back you will see a couple of input an output, it has an optical and audio jack input, and the USB where you can connect your phone to it to charge it off it’s battery. You can also download an app where you’re able to control the sound levels to the speaker manually. + premium parts + premium sound + Long lasting battery - heavy -pricey

I didn't like this product. I have always been a BOSE fan and was trying this for the first time. The sound doesn't feel good.

Not as loud as was expecting, too complicated to sync two speakers.

This speaker sounds good but the system is poor and customer service never answers to warranty

Not as loud as i thought it would be, especially because its so expensive

This item doesn’t work. It did work for a week or 2. Then it stopped. It won’t sync, if it does it disconnects after a few minutes…there are constantly issues using the Ap

It's a good speaker however, it has a lot of bugs and software updates are over a year old! If you dont already have a speaker I would go with JBL instead.

Very bad it sounds good but battery sucks I bought it fully charge it and the battery only last like 2.5 hours I would never by this brand ever again

Bought this item at my local Best Buy received it 20 days ago finally got around to using it and it don't work sounds like one of the speakers a blown out.
