Ultimate Ears have gone Hyper.

The mega sized, heavy as bluetooth speaker is Ultimate Ears’ newest in their overly powerful portable audio range.

Once makers of the finest ear rumbling inner ear headphones the audio and peripherals company took a step away from those and clasped on to what was the new trend for bluetooth speakers. This ended up being a winner decision.

The Ultimate Ears HyperBoom is larger than what we have seen previously from the Boom range and encompasses a near 360 degree sound.

With a ‘Super Massive Dynamic’ array of speakers and woofers builtin behind the black mesh you’re going to get the ultimate audio experience anywhere.

Boasting a non-stop 24 battery life, the HyperBoom can also be paired with other Ultimate Ears Boom speakers in close proximity to create an environment of endless playlist streaming.

Being bluetooth the HyperBoom will naturally connect to your Android or iOS smartdevice and with the one-tap BOOM app enables you to tweak your audio to your liking and remotely control the HyperBoom – so I do recommend getting the free app.

The HyperBoom is also smart.

Among the two mid range, single tweeter and two sub speakers is a builtin microphone. This is used so that the HyperBoom can gauge it’s surroundings and adapt it’s EQ accordingly.

Wanting a quiet night in listening to slow jams, rocking out with a group of friends who are getting rowdy, or just pumping up the jam to some headbanging classics, the HyperBoom will detect any background noise or interference and ensure it is not being drowned out – the HyperBoom is the ultimate extrovert at any social gathering.

There are manual controls on the device for audio playback control – you can also customise this for a one touch playlist stream via Amazon Music or Spotify.

Ultimate Ears know that parties can get messy. If you get yourself one of these bad boys and your friends get a little sloshy, you needn’t worry. The HyperBoom is splash proof.

While touted as a portable bluetooth speaker, and it is, it is not as pick up and run with as the Ultimate Ears Boom’s. It’s big, it’s bold and likely the only party based speaker you’ll ever need to get your friends’ booties shaking.

Aptly named, the HyperBoom goes beyond loud. I tried this at home, in a closed room and in my lounge which is open plan.

While the lounge certainly was more spacious the effect was almost the same, once I got up to just over quarter volume I could hear the tinkering of plates and cups in the kitchen, two rooms away, as they vibrated. In a closed room the windows rattled.

You can also share the love. The Ultimate Ears Hyperboom allows you connect up to 4 devices, wirelessly or cabled and it also features as a charge station for your smartdevice. This does of course have impact on the speakers battery life.

HyperBoom is a beast but with a higher than usual price tag. It’s the center of any party or social gathering and successfully delivers audio in every direction.

Center it at yours and have the best of your own music, whether local playlist or streaming to have your party started right.

The award-winning Ultimate Ears speaker just got better with the next generation Ultimate Ears BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3.  These portable, waterproof Bluetooth speakers have been redesigned with stunning two-toned, high performance fabric, engineered for applications like motorcycle jackets and fire equipment.

Also new to BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3 is a Magic Button on top of the speaker for convenient music control. Each speaker has carefully balanced audio and 360-degree sound that allows you to hear every note just as the artist intended. MEGABOOM 3 also provides deeper bass and improved clarity over the original MEGABOOM. Whether at a desert festival or a pool party, you’ll stand out with an iridescent speaker that makes music even more portable, durable and immersive.

“With BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3, we took the ultimate speaker and made it even better,” said Charlotte Johs, general manager of Ultimate Ears. “Beyond immersive 360-degree sound that is balanced to stay true to your music, we improved the durability of the speakers without compromising on style. We also introduced the Magic Button, getting you to your music faster with just one touch, taking the speaker up a notch.”

The all-new Magic Button allows you to play, pause and skip tracks directly on the speakers without fumbling around for your phone in a bag or far away room. When paired with the redesigned BOOM & MEGABOOM by Ultimate Ears mobile app, you can also have quick, one-touch access to your favourite playlists on Apple Music on iOS or Deezer Premium on Android. Additional music services will be added.

Other upgrades to BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3 include a new IP67 rating so the speakers are not only waterproof and drop proof, but also dustproof, making them ready for any adventure. Improved Bluetooth range up to 150 feet enhances portability and the speakers float, so you don’t have to worry about losing them at the bottom of a lake or river. For added convenience, BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3 are compatible with the Ultimate Ears POWER UP charging dock (sold separately) for a simple, wireless charge, plus you can charge the speakers upright thanks to the repositioned USB port.

The BOOM & MEGABOOM app also offers all of the features you love from previous speakers like PartyUp—which works with all generations of BOOM and MEGABOOM and allows you to connect up to 150 speakers—as well as a custom equaliser (EQ), and remote on/off controls, all in a newly designed interface.

BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3 will be available in four dual-toned colours: Night (Black), Sunset (Red), Lagoon (Blue), and Ultraviolet (Purple). Both are expected to be available in September 2018.
