![]() Of course the same “sound” as the XB-31 (so a lot of bass). In terms of price, the Sony XB-31 is cheaper, less high and middle tones, but a bass that is 4 to 5 times better (and then the Extra bass button can still be added) and the XB-41 is just a size larger slightly more expensive but much harder. In terms of size, buy the JBL Flip 4, cheaper, slightly smaller even, equally waterproof and floating, and better sound quality (more bass, more neutral sound, also good mids and highs). No idea why you would want to buy this speaker unless you are someone who goes camping every weekend and is so careless with expensive electronics that it has to be water and dust proof. ![]() But it is waterproof, and floating is more than enough for 90% of people, I think. Waterproof, dustproof, floats, resistant to a spray of water (garden hose, shower, etc.). By the way, the app is is easy and convenient, if it is within bluetooth range it can be turned on via the app, surely the best feature after the build quality. I don't understand why the UE went for this "sound signature" as it is not even really a neutral sound is because then there should be more bass. The mids (mainly voices) are very good, as are the highs which are also fine. Now that I have it for a few days given a chance I must say I'm very disappointed Let's start: Sound, when I compare this with the old (now elderly Charge 1) the bass is not found on the UE, not even with the Bass EQ you have on the UE App can turn on. Checked reviews online, also here at coolblue, All fine, satisfied, all in all good reviews. Then I bought a speaker from UE online, the Boom 3. (not waterproof, the hard plastic design, sound quality (etc). Only yes, the Charge is of course getting a bit old. I have been using this for years with pleasure, super satisfied with it (especially if you compare it, in terms of price and accessories, with now. To start with, I have (since 2013) the JBL Charge (1). Swapping between these presets didn’t have a huge effect on the audio output, although you can create your own custom equalizer settings with the adjustable tuner – simply move the sliders up and down on the bass, mid, and treble tuners until you find a sound you’re happy with.First sorry for everyone who thinks this speaker is great, but this is my opinion. If you are unhappy with the default equalizer settings, you can amend them in the dedicated app - it comes with four different presets ‘The Standard’, ‘Cramped Spaces’, ‘Voices’, and ‘Bass Jump’. Treble frequencies had the same problem, with a generally lack of clarity in the top notes - we tried out guitar heavy tracks like Belle and Sebastian’s ‘Your Cover’s Blown’ and we felt that the highest frequencies could have benefitted from a sharper kick. ![]() The conical design allows for 360 degree audio, and we found the sound to be spacious, with good frequency separation.Īlthough bass frequencies sound good (if not lacking in a little depth) for the speaker’s size, we weren’t blown away by the mid frequencies, which feature heavily in vocals and keys - they felt slightly subdued in comparison to the bass. With a maximum volume of 90 decibels, this little speaker certainly packs a punch, and it has a two 2-inch drivers and two 4-inch passive radiators for room-filling sound. While this looks far more aesthetically pleasing, it does make the volume buttons a little harder to push down, particularly if you’re using the speaker in the shower. The rubber casing that housed the buttons on the UE Boom 2 is gone, with the large ‘+’ and ‘-’ volume buttons integrated directly into the fabric grille. You can also used the magic button to directly access your playlists from a select few music providers - to do this you will need to set this feature up in the accompanying Megaboom app.ĭisappointingly, this feature only works with Apple Music if you’re on an iOS device, and Deezer Premium if you’re an Android user - with so many Spotify users out there, the experience would really be improved with Spotify integration. On the top of the speaker you have an on/off button and a ‘magic button’, which can be used to pause, play, and skips tracks.
