As a music nerd on a strict budget, I’m intrigued by the EarFun UBOOM X speaker. You’re telling me it’s loud, powerful, and bassy, and also just $189? Sign me up! Could it be one of the best Bluetooth speakers around?
Yes, and no. There’s nothing massively wrong with the UBOOM X. It is loud. It is powerful. It is bassy. But that bass volume does curdle the mids and trebles and swallows them on its mission to be the loudest at the party. Does that mean it’s a bad speaker? No, it just has a very particular use case.
