![]() ![]() It's designed to be a fill in for the lap top speakers, being a bit louder and better bass etc., or for close range listening when out and about - by tethering your phones audio to it by blue tooth, so you can hear a lot better than using the phone only speaker.Īside from that ONE idiot function, the "Auto Power Off" - which appears to have been changed - according to the site, it's a great unit - withing it's limitations. And some genius programmed it to switch off, with no signal automatically.Īpparently they have never caught onto the idea that maybe after accidently leaving it on a few times when roaming, that people would get the idea of pressing the OFF BUTTON to conserve power. The units come with an "auto power off" function, that until I kicked up a HUGE stink with SONY - they would automatically disconnect after 10 minutes, if there was NO signal or the audio stopped playing.īecause your having to frequently switch it back on, IF you have not played anything for half an hour, even when it's charging on USB and connected by Blue Tooth etc. ![]() I purchased TWO of these because they were on special at Aldi and the price was good, compared to their usual retail prices. Drivers: Two 4.5-inch (114mm) woofers, two 1-inch (25mm) tweeters, two 3.5-inch (89mm) x 7.I design speaker systems and audio equipment.Battery life: Up to 24 hours (3 hours max volume). ![]() Input sources: Two Bluetooth, one 3.5mm auxiliary and one optical audio.I'll post my full rated review after comparing it to additional jumbo wireless portable speakers. Here are the Hyperboom's key specs, according to Ultimate Ears. Or you can wirelessly connect it with any other Boom, Megaboom or Hyperboom speakers using the PartyUp feature in the companion app for iOS and Android to spread the sound across more space. If you want to take it to the next level, you can pair two of these guys and get real stereo sound (they do sound quite good paired together but that will set you back $800). While it has multiple drivers, the Hyperboom does have its sound limitations it can't quite escape sounding like a single speaker. I lugged it around for several blocks during our video shoot. But the retractable rubber handle seems sturdy and is securely fastened to the speaker. As I said, it's pretty hefty, so you probably don't want to carry it too far. The Hyperboom is splashproof with an IPX4 rating, and an integrated microphone automatically reads the environment and calibrates the sound to fill any space, indoors or outdoors. The Hypberboom towers over the Boom 3 and Megaboom 3 speakers. But to be clear, this is a Bluetooth-only speaker - there's no Wi-Fi. There's also a USB-out port for charging devices. With a press of a button you can switch between the sources and have two phones connected via Bluetooth at the same time so you can trade off playing music with a friend. The speaker supports four input sources - two Bluetooth, one 3.5mm auxiliary and even an optical input if you want to connect a game console or PC. The battery is not replaceable but should last several years. But you can always plug it in (you have to charge it with its own AC power adapter) if you're near a power source. Enough to get you through a party? Maybe. But if you really crank the volume, that number will drop more like 3 hours. Yes, this speaker is "portable" - battery life is rated 24 hours at moderate volume levels. ![]()
