Earfun UBOOM L - firmware update how to, before/after

Earfun UBOOM L - firmware update how to, before/after

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.

Earfun UBOOM L - give away

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 f...

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.

Earfun UBOOM L vs Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 on the bike

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...

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.

Souvenir from Italy

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 ...

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:

Earfun UBOOM L - are you satisfied?

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...

Unfortunately I don’t have access to my PC from holidays but I would like to offer a clean link to the product tool necessary for the firmware update here and would kindly ask one of you who has already updated his units without issues to upload the installer onto some public host and share their links so everyone can have secure access to it.

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.

Beach setup

Beach setup

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 th...

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

Tribit Stormbox Blast - user EQ & measurements

Tribit Stormbox Blast - user EQ & measurements

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...

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...

Tribit Stormbox Blast vs JBL Partybox 100

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.

Battle of the Boombox wannabes

Battle of the Boombox wannabes

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 optimis...

Tribit Stormbox Blast - unboxing & first impressions

Tribit Stormbox Blast - unboxing & first impressions

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.

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
