I made this video to stop the confusion about the firmware update but Earfun asked me not to publish it. They are afraid even more people would return their speakers as return rate is already high according to them.
I am sorry for all this, I just wanted to offer the best possible but with all the problems now I should have better abandoned this project before.

Like promised before, I would like to give away 3 of my UBOOM L units to 3 of you. Originally I wanted to give away my working samples but I decided to buy production units instead, update them and check if they sound alright with the latest firmware then use these for the give away to ensure you the best possible performance.
I want to make a quiz again this time and would like to know from you if you can guess one of my favorite tracks since my childhood. I’ll give you some tips: it...

I already returned it, thus no further videos will be coming which would be a waste of time anyhow. For that price you can get so many more and much better sounding gear!
I compared it against the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 here.

Sorry guys, I got pretty sick after our return from holidays together with a tooth treatment and antibiotics I had to take, I am only now slowly recovering again.
I finally managed to do a quick edit of a video I shot during our last day in Italy. It was the same day were the nearby forest caught some fire and people had to be evacuated from the beach. As we were not allowed to enter the wild beach part anymore I had to re-shoot our ride through the town instead which nevertheless turn...

The UBOOM L did a great job during our holidays in all kinds of situations like shown here. I actually cannot complain about the performance and am quite satisfied with the final result.

Hi guys!
It’s our last day in Italy before we return home again. I managed to shoot some videos which I hope to be able to post soon. Originally I had planned more videos but unfortunately my DJI Pocket 2 died the first day at the beach with some gimbal problem, thank goodness I took an insurance when I bought it and should hopefully get a replacement soon.
This time I haven’t even taken my photo camera with me anymore and just took some snapshots with my phone which I would ...

I usually try finding some more mass compatible music for my playlists although this time I wanted to share some more avantgarde and extreme tracks which I would mainly put into modern electric jazz genre but recorded with very high quality as usual:

Thanks for all the feedback so far, still I would be interested if you are satisfied with the performance of this speaker so far. I hope everyone managed to update the speaker to the latest firmware for even better sound quality. Please apologise the hassle with the new firmware but there was no other way to ensure the best possible performance.
You are also welcome to add a comment with a more detailed opinion to have all user feedback collected here for those interested, as I would l...

Thanks a lot!

The UBOOM L is available for order right now and those who have registered for the early bird campaign should have also got their discount codes in the meantime. I was told that the codes are sent out by the same order people have registered, therefore those who haven’t received their codes yet please be patient a bit.

For our holidays I took both UBOOM Ls with me and we also have 2 Stormboxes Micro 2, on top of this I also brought the almighty Anker Soundcore Motion+ to maybe shoot a video at the beach but so far we have settled for a pair of Stormboxes Micro 2. They sound really nice when playing in stereo, with a way larger sound one would expect from virtually disappearing speakers also due to the fact that you can attach them to basically anything which makes them really versatile. Taking the UBOOM L w...

I will still try to answer all messages from you, please apologise if I don’t react immediately and in case I forget to answer to one of your messages please remind me again after some days as I get so many inquiries daily that I can sometimes miss single messages.

IMO currently the best pocket sized speaker just compromised by its tuning, which is not bad but could definitely be improved.

Here are my personal EQ settings for the Tribit Stormbox Blast which I enjoy more than the presets. I simply call them "indoor" and "outdoor" as they work well for those purpses I think.
You can vary the values to your own taste, especially bass and treble. Mids should be already quite balanced like that. If you want indoor to have even flatter bass, keep the 50hz band rather at 0dB, if you want more kick, turn it closer to +6dB but leave the following bands rather low to avoid an...

I found a nice bottle holder which works really well with the UBOOM L on the bike which I wanted to share for those who maybe also intend to use their speaker for biking etc.
It’s 11€ on Amazon and comes in 2 sets with 2 different mounts and all necessary screws and keys for mounting. One is a standard mount for the bike the other one with an adjustable grip which lets you mount it at the handle bar or some other desired places. The arms are out of plastic and quite flexible thus sh...

Just wanted to hear how the Tribit would perform against the much larger Partybox and if it would make sense to shoot a public video . Thanks to my open microphones I was able to listen and shoot this video to share my experience with you afterwards. Let me know what you think. In the meantime I will try to perform some measurements and optimise the EQ setting.

I think it’s clearly hearable which one sounds best or worst. The PWR05 is actually a boxy a joke, while the Anker comes shortly after. I am actually quite impressed by the performance of the Tribit. Although it loses bass slightly above 3/4 it still remains perfectly controlled with no hints of distortion just mids being pushed a bit too much at levels close to maximum. I will try to optimise the user EQ for an even better sound although with user EQ the heavy bass of the XBass setting is ...

Putting the Tribit Stormbox Blast against the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus after unboxing. Keep in mind that I had to record audio with a 6dB lower gain than usual to avoid any clipping and distortion due to the heavy bass of these speakers. If you listen over the Free Pro 2 with my reference tuning increase volume 2 steps above 50% to get more or less the correct loudness level.
I will try to prepare an outdoor video of these speakers soon featuring the Artsound PWR05 as well. 2022-06-22 09:40:45 +0000 UTC View Post
Just arrived and I shot an unboxing immediately to be shared with you, just to tease you a bit: the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus is a bad joke against it but also half the weight, so stay tuned…
Update: I got some discount code from Tribit which makes the final price $160, definitely a steal compared to the overpriced stuff from JBL, Sony etc
Retail price: $199.99
20% OFF code: OLF52
Pre-sale Price: $159.99

Wanted to give you an update on this matter as I think that I managed to make the new unit perform even better. I am still tweaking as I want to make treble as smooth as possible and I am expecting a new firmware with my latest changes so that I can check how it will perform in various situations.
I should get 2 other final production units soon which I will check for consistency, then the new firmware should...
