Noticeably better just through the audio recording on your review! Just wanted to say thanks, bought the hyperboom and it’s great.
No problem at all I’m so glad you enjoy the hyperboom bud
Thanks for the video man. It's good to find more recent videos on the Hyperboom since most of them are about a year old when this speaker first came out.
They're now in stock at places like Best Buy and Amazon. I just picked one up at BB at full price which is fine cause I've always been a fan of UE since their first boom. I'm glad I was able to get one now though since they have been sold out for the last several months. This had been on my wishlist since day one and I was waiting for it to be on sale but that never happened and it probably won't be anytime soon.
I love all the features that has compare to the Boombox 2. Remote wake and off is so damn nice. One button playlist is so sick too cause I have it playing my Spotify liked song list automatically when it turns on which saves me some time. I got their Megaboom 3 now and can't wait to pair it up with the Hyperboom when it comes in a week!
I'm gonna be using the optical input too to make my 4k projector which already sounds nice even louder and better! I do have an HDMI ARC cable going to it already there is connected to a JBL Bar 9.1 Atmos @ 850W but this Hyperboom will be a nice middle ground. 😁
Heck yeah bud I’m glad you was able to find one. I know the remote wake is so great I do that all the time lol. Thanks for watching my video bud
Thanks bro for your help, i will order the hyperboom now .from london
Thank you very much for your help 🙏
No problem at all and I’m glad my video was able to help you.
You are the man for testing these. I got the MEGABASS but originally wanted the UE
I love the Sony with some tweaking to the EQ and the features are TIGHT
Yeah if you EQ the Sony it’s not bad at all. I was saying the same after the test I was working out and like man this Sony is not bad needs some EQ but not bad. Not better than the UE hyperboom but not bad 😂
@@WannaBuyIt Haha tru but at least I could buy the Sony 🧐
Hope you can get a hold of the JBL Boombox for a 3 way shootout. That would be tight (and maybe JBL are afraid of being pitted against new comers haha... not that they should be)
Awesome video
Thank you bud
Hey bro.. Thanks for playing opm rap song.. The ue hyperboom just wow amazing speaker..
Yeah the hyperboom is a beast of a speaker. But no problem on the opm I love that pinoy rap
Hyperboom is winner😮😮❤❤
I have been waiting for this video, great comparison bro! I knew that my love for the Hyperboom was right lol.
I guess the video between the JBL boombox 2 versus the Hyperboom would be awesome 😁
Haha thanks for watching. Man JBL reached out to me they selling out of the boom box 2 everywhere so they can’t send out review copies yet but soon hopefully 🙏🏾
I've owned both (at same time) and directly compared them with a bunch of friends, we all concluded Hyperboom beats Boombox 2.
@@Satorikn honestly, nothing out there in this price range beats the hyperboom. It's not just loud, it's really clear.
Check GYMCADDY channel, Hyperboom is far better then Boombox 2
Hello, if you had to choose 2 among the 3, what would be your choice between the Partybox 110, EU Hyperboom and the tribet Stormblast, please because I am lost. thank you in advance
Sony xg500 vs JBL partybox on the Go would be a great comparison.. I'm saving up for one to use in my singing sessions on the Go. 😊
That would be a good one. I returned my on the go back 🥲
I got mine today! Last one on the shelf at Best Buy!
Aye nice bud 👍🏾
I just want to say I used the Sony XG-500 to workout. I was like this speaker is that not bad at all even after the sound battle. When you just have this speaker you won’t be disappointed at all 👍🏾. But it just lost the sound battle that’s all doesn’t make it a bad speaker. Just my thought from my last time using it 👍🏾
UE Hyper has some tight crisp highs no doubt. The Sony though would be my choice to carry around (superior battery life, battery saving mode, prefer the shape) You can just connect a guitar to the back of it. Or connect a USB full of music to it ETC. People are always wondering what the Sony is because it sounds great to most ears on MEGABASS mode and even without EQ tweakage.
I like the bass on the hyperboom as well so nasty. But I like the style of the XG500 way more than the hyperboom. You not lying it’s easier to carry around.
I agree very very much with your emphasis on the immersive ability of the Hyperboom, I’m also currently having an issue with turning it on, I usually have to do some odd random ritual with the power button to get it to turn on, any advice?
And the app isn’t working to turn on from bluetoooth, but my Sony XB43 has also been having that same issue
@@WannaBuyIt I would buy the Sony tomorrow if it were to carry better sound optimization, I don’t feel like this is a problem with most of their magnetic drivers
I have the XG500 I wanted the ue hyperboom but it was sold out but this is amazing!!! I take it to the football field and when I'm out with friends since it gets loud and it rocks my house with bass but I highly suggest this speaker for outdoor use since it gets real loud and well I like my bass, I respect my neighbors
Great review with sound test. I agree with you, yet I wish UE also had ports like the Sony and a better IP rating.
Yeah this Hyperboom seems more of a at home backward speaker. uE really slacking on new smaller portables as well
Both use passive radiators; neither use ports.
another great review thank you
No problem thanks for watching again bud
So I recently purchased this speaker, and the sound is amazing, but the mid tones have to be adjusted with your phone settings and app. But is seems to me that Sony did this purposely. Now when I paired this speaker to the XB43, the sound is epic and flawless. You get the clear midtones from the XB43 and the deep, deep bass and acoustics from the XG500, and it sound is like being at a concert. I feel that they did this purposely for the party connect, and it works. If you have the side to side setting on your phone, it sounds much better that the wide surround sound also.
The third song was Filipino Song
I wasn't expecting you to play that song. Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
Yes I love pinoy rap. S/o to PHILIPPINES I went to Cebu in March is was amazing
The Hyperboom's bass is incredible ! It is a bass speaker for sure... wow
CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE UE HYPERBOOM!! I have the funds but waiting to see if it's just the hype or if I really want it. Would be PERFECT for the dance connections I have out in the parks with my dance community of friends
This speaker will not fail it’s amazing bud 😊👍🏾
I now have a Sony XB 43
Sony XG500
And a Sony XP500
All 3 linked kicks ass
Just picked up the Sony for 170 shipped on eBay for a certified refurbished with a 2-year warranty! Can't wait for it to arrive!
Whaaaat! Damn good pick up bud
I just did the samething, how you like yours
@@WannaBuyIt Thanks! I like it quite a bit. Doesn't even come close to comparing to my Aiwa Exos 9, but it's much easier to carry and is waterproof.
@@MrDgreezy18 It's my go to speaker when I need something loud and portable!
I’m about to do the same thing! I would prefer the hyperboom because I’m a fan of the ue mega boom line but eBay has the Sony refurbished still for $169 + free shipping. The hyper booms are still selling for about $400 used.
Use the indoor and out door mode of the sony bro 😁
ok I got you next time.
@@WannaBuyIt that's great answer👍🏼
i have the Srs Xb32 it sounds amazing bass is really good battery life is good,lookin forward for the srs xg500 i had jbl’s and wasn’t really a fan of it,i fell in love with sony😍
I feel that a lot of ppl love that Sony sound
@@WannaBuyIt heck yeah man i just got the srs xg500 yesterday badd ass speacker
Bro what’s that song 3? I think I saw you said your wife is Cebuana. Mine is too lol. Got a link or recommendation for some good Filipino rap/hip hop?
Never mind, just saw you posted it up in the corner of the video. Keep up the great work.
You found the song ok perfect. Yeah my wife is fresh from Cebu haha 😂 been here for like 4 1/2 years now. But yeah I got a playlist of just hip hop Filipino songs I like.
open.spotify.com/playlist/4LDu4tdUKprL3XQT1vPILb?si=l1QhuM2cQkaAr568nOiFrg
@@WannaBuyIt Dope. Much appreciated!
@@paidtobringpeace no problem bud
Hey buds they sound pretty good and look nice hyperboom is cool and awesome like always and that Sony put a good fight up to
Yeah they are both great speakers but the UE is just a beast. I love the Sony design though
@@WannaBuyIt yes sir
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hyper boom on sale. What would you say for an XG500 at $169.99 though?
Oh yes grab that for sure. I’m all about saving month any way you can.
Is it true if you connect XG500 to Sony Xperia phone like I have Xperia 1 that speaker sound better because my phone supports LDAC?
Thanks and you can adjust Bass, mids and highs via sony app. 😋
I don’t have that phone so I don’t know 😩 and yes you can 😊👍🏾
new sony firmware for sony xg500, 7600!! ldac really wakes it up.
Please let me know what's 3rd song you played ? I liked it
I got you here is the link bud. czcams.com/video/CoIBwF-0o2o/video.html
Thanks Bro 👍
BTW I bought JBL partybox 💯 sounds good . Hyperboom I didn't get in my region Oman.
Sony never sounds great on default settings.. i wished the they had shown the eq settings they are using
I NEED HELP PLEASE.... I NEED OPIONS ON A SPEAKER. 500 OR LESS, LOUD, CLEAR, GOOD SOUND AND IMPORTANT TO GET 5-8 HRS ON MAX VOLUME. doesn't have to be submerge proof or bass to knock down walls, just loud good clear full sound with the 5-8 hrs battery at max volume.. I was looking at the boombox and hyperboom but but most of all I trust your opinion because you have physically heard a lot of speakers.... THANK YOU
The thing is that you need to sound level calibrate (spl) both speakers to equal levels as much as possible to make it far as possible. For setup you have to use some sort of test disc (test tone and have both speakers match at the spl level at that particular tone) and a spl meter (to check what level it's at for example if you want to set it where at a particular frequency they play at 75db, then have them compete from there) . In the past I did reviews for home audio which required a minimum of video essentials dvd and modified radio shack spl meter (the default was inaccurate). The reason why UE Hyperboom won easily is due to it's default spl being louder, in almost all test cases people will perceive louder as clearer and better, I still think it would win if both were spl matched (UE consistently makes better products than Sony imho) but I would like to see it as a more fair comparison/contest.
Hyperboom gives more Money haha
haha bud you won't ever like my channel . I'm not a audiophile far from it and don't want to be one. I'm just a regular consumer giving reviews for other regular consumers.
@@WannaBuyIt Just kidding Bud. Love Your Videos but pls more fairness , bring out the best Sound from every Speaker.
@@WannaBuyIt
Sony speakers have never been good.
Nice comparison. I was trying to decide between these two after visiting Best Buy. I’m going with the UE. Go Raiders🏴☠️
Hyberboom is the clear sound winner.....but I do love that the Sony has more options for playing music.......
Yeah hyperboom is a beast. But you can’t go wrong with the Sony at all
UE = tweeter. If you like buzzer sound, you can buy. But my choise is always strong sound with bass.
I like Sony because of esthetics and the portability
Yeah it does look nice as heck
I would like to see the hyperboom go up engust the jbl party box.
completely wrong the custom eq from sony is wrongly designed. needs an update because it can't really change the sound. You should use a different equalizer and it will immediately sound a lot more present. More highs, more bass. unbeatable
👍🏾
@@WannaBuyIt techder audio use custom eq to improve the sound but not from sonys app. Bud you have to try it out it has so much potential and can compete with other speakers. reaches a new bass level with good settings
Do you guys know if the Sony EQ is still bad or has it been updated?
Love my Hyperboom.I own 15 top name and top quality speakers.I have not played any since my purchase of the Hyperboom.Payed 360 u.s. dollars at bestbuy.Why do you think it is sold out everywhere now.that is because it is so good.Now i want a second one.👍🎸✌
It’s a great speaker I love it as well. I’m glad you are enjoying the speaker bud 😁👍🏾
Hope you can try the sony xp500
Me to might be a long while thought budget isn’t there at the moment
I'd like to have that hyperboom but it is too expensive here in the Philippines! over $500 USD!!
Yeah that’s way to much
Boombox 2 or Sony xg 500 which one you prefer?
I haven’t tested the boombox 2 🥹. JBL said they was going to send it for the battle and ghosted me never sent
Will you do a UE hyperboom vs tribit stormbox blast?
I gotta hit up tribit and we could make it happen
@@WannaBuyIt its an amazing speaker bro you won't be disappointed 👏
@@WannaBuyIt especially for its price
the sony xg500 is available for 169 on Amazon refurbished does that price justify it's performance?
Oh dang for that price grab that thing.
$40-60 more than a JBL charge 5 is a deal 👍🏾 grab that Sony for that price
@@WannaBuyIt grabbed it! this is the first time I went with a refurbished product hope it works good!
What's the name of the 3th song? Thank you!
Here you go bud - czcams.com/video/CoIBwF-0o2o/video.html
monster boombox 3.0 vs UE hyperboom 🔉🔊
Sony watt?
Hey buds! I have a JBL Boombox2 I can't wait to see your comparison of the Hyperboom. Because I have considered buying one but everyone is sold out of them. LOL
I just bought a hyperboom from TMobile of all places. Just looked and they still have them in stock. Sound quality is ridiculous, very happy with it.
Nice!!!
Yeah speakers are selling out everywhere. Even my connects can’t give me some speakers because they have low inventory. Boom box 2 is one of the JBL said they don’t have much so they can’t send any out for review 😞
I do really like thw hyperboom. But sad to say it doesn't offer here in my country 😔
Really it doesn’t man that suuucks 😞
Sony should have balanced fun sounding speaker... Rather then muffled extra bass soundprofile.
👍🏾
I’m probably going to get the Sony. Only because you can get a refurbished one on eBay right now for $169. The hyper boom are still about $400 used.
Yes have that money and get that Sony 👍🏾
Just wondering, how come you're playing TAGALOG songs
(FILIPINO LYRICS) , 3RD song to be specific.
Because I love it and listen to it all the time. I’m trying to help up and coming Filipino artist and hopefully get them a few new fans.
@@WannaBuyIt keep it up ...proud of you...
Agree its all hyperboom
Can I pair 2 hyperboom for stereo?
Yea you can 👍🏾
Being able to use usb out to play music gives the Sony the edge period, both sound good, but if there’s no USB or Sd/TF playback, I can’t deal with that limitation.
👍🏽🔥🔥👍🏽
🙏🏾thanks for watching bud🙏🏾
Can you put the Equalizer of the Sony to plus 10 for Bass and highs? The Sony xg 500 destroy it for sure Bro
He Said that both has a EQ but the hyperboom is still Winner.. i cant agree with it because the Sony has more potential than the hyperboom.. the hyperboom is still amazing you dont need to change the sound with Equalizer and the sony sounds wayy better with eq
My Sony XG also had a break in period where its gotten louder and CRISPER sounding. Its a great sounding speaker (if you set it RIGHT)
@@walterd7331 it is crucial whether one is interested in creating fair competition. In this video all seriousness and neutrality have been lost. No one even tried to show differences through the respective EQUALIZER .. here it was clear from the start that the hyperboom can only win!
I can boost it up to 10 and it will win easy. I did the same for the Soundcore vs JBL battle I did one round with Soundcore app boost with EQ it won easy I even picked which one was the EQ speaker because it was so easy. But in all my test I leave the EQ on 0 on everything no boost to help a speaker out where it’s lacking. I know people get mad I don’t EQ them. but don’t you expect the speaker to be better when you EQ it so what the point of the battle you basically gave one speaker a unfair advantage from the start. I do have like the bass boosters and all that on of course but I don’t boost stuff to give it a chance. No steroids in the battles 😁 but everyone is welcome to EQ their speakers because some speakers like this one needs. We all like our EQ different as well some people like to max everything up, some like more high less bass, and some people don’t like the high to loud hurts their ears. So EQ can be tricky for me because someone might not like the speaker because the highs I EQed in it even though the default setting don’t sound like that.
But it’s a lose lose for me bud everyone is going to try to protect their speaker they have or was looking to buy because it lost and I did something wrong to cheat their speaker or they just don’t like the brand it’s going against 😂. It’s like a sports fan and I love it honestly.
I’m neutral I just call it how I hear it. 😁👍🏾 but you are right if you EQ the Sony it might win easy but if I also boost the EQ on the speaker that smashed it easy already will it still win? 🤔
(That was for everyone not just you bud tried to answer all the comments in this chain with 1👍🏾) thanks for watching my video buds means a lot 🙏🏾
@@WannaBuyIt Hey man go with your gut. It's your EARS not our opinions. I am in no way hurt that someone finds the Sony to be less rich sounding. I corrected that by forcing a higher dB amplification feed to it (thus making it even much louder). I can vouch that it gets louder than you'd think if sourced right. Ultimately I am happy with the Sony but if I missed a feature that would be the Optical input of the Hyper. I got around that by picking up a cheapie quality DAC and connecting the TV and Sony to it. Don't let hate the get ya. All ears are different
The Hyperboom all the way.. Sony just not that good. I'm surprised that a company like Sony to not sound as good.
Yeah the hyper boom is just a monster
Sony👍👍
You got Sony for the W I feel it bud 😊👍
You mean another set of ultimate ears 😜😜😜😜😜😜
More UE
what is the second song ?
My sister puts the name of song right at the start of reach round 👍🏾 should be there
Sony is still the Best! No one can beat Sony!
I feel it 👍
JBL can
😍Sony xg500🥰
Can’t go wrong with that speaker 😂👍🏾
Are you Filipino i dont think so but playing Pinoy song great
I’m not I just love Pinoy rap 👍🏾
I wonder if they will go on sale for black friday sale
Hyperboom is so hard to find right now I don’t even think it will be available. But I feel Sony will drop the price they always do big deals around Black Friday hope this is one of them.
The Hyperboom since a year ago has never ever been on sale anywhere. To me it's worth the price tag compare to the more expensive Boombox 2 and I'm a JBL fan as well.
Btw the Hyperboom is slowing getting back to stock now. I knew I wanted the Hyperboom since day one but thought I would wait for it to be on sale like my megaboom 3 that I picked up several months ago for $99 or so. Next thing I know the Hyperboom was out of stock for the last couple of months when I was ok with paying the full price for it.
I just checked Best Buy earlier and they were on stock again! I didn't hesitate and got it right away. It's coming in a week though which is faster then what Amazon has now which is 2-5 weeks. If you have been waiting for this speaker I would jump on it now before it's sold out again. It's summer time so lots of Bluetooth speakers popular rn.
@@volcalstone Hello, there. Would you compare this HyperBoom with MegaBoom 3?I have recently bought the latter cos HyperBoom is not easy to find. After a few days use, I don't find the MegaBoom 3 improve much other than it being louder and having some more bass than my years old Boom yet less clarity and even muffled while playing intense music. So my only choice now comes to HyperBoom cos remote power on is a must to me. Can't live without it.
@@stevetangjt I have both the megaboom 3 and the hyperboom. There is absolutely positively no comparison between the two. The megaboom 3 is only marginally better than the megaboom 2 or 1. They are fine speakers for their form factor. They have that going for them. But if you can handle the extra size and weight of the hyperboom, do it. Actually, if you can swing it, bring the hyperboom and as many smaller UE booms to act as tweeters. You can link up to 99 of them together.
HYPERBOOM FTW
Yes can’t go wrong with this
Hyperboom!!!!
All they way 👍🏾
I've owned both. I had the gs500 and the hyperboom,,, now I'm back with Sony. It's all in the settings. UE signature clearness is there. It lacks connectivity, it disconnects a lot.
I had to take ALL THE BASS on the gs500 down and up the mids and highs all the way. And it's sounds way better BUT THE SELLING POINT FOR ME WAS The Sony covers more ground in sound. I walked away from both speakers and Sony just hugs the rooms DIFFERENT. The UE sounds good and loud but it doesn't hug the room as well.
Logitech speakers don’t last
Yet the Sony will
I had a hyperboom and it lasted 4months and I had to trade it in for a Sony XP500 because that’s all JB HI-FI had at the time
Hyperboom is the best 👌 ❤
Hyperboom is simply the best 👌
I love the hyperboom so good
I hate that Best Buy doesn’t have hip hop to sample these stereos because they never have hip hop samples. If you like hip hop then go with the hyberboom. The bass is amazing unlike the Sony.
Yeah they really don’t now you say that 🤔. Yes the bass on the HB is so great
Hello bro what country do you live in
The US, he mentioned California tax in one of he’s videos I think
California USA
Yes sir, our taxes suuuuuuuuck 👎
@@WannaBuyIt A damn shame, In Australia all our tax is inclusive in the price & the same country wide
Couldn't get the hyperboom to pair back to my spotify on the cell after testing it on my firestick. Even though it shows connected.....nada. power off to try reboot, wouldn't power back up. Piece of crap going back to the store tomorrow. Totally pissed this was the speaker I wanted but this it utter crap
Dang really bud I’m sorry to hear that man 🙏🏾.
Did you try contacting UE? I guarantee there was a simple reason for this. I've had my hyperboom since father's day 2020. A buddy had one as well. Both of us have had any issues with pairing. Actually zero issues with pairing of any UE products. We use these all the time, multiple UE products all partied up. Did you use the app, or not?
Hyperboom much better than sony ❤️
Hyperboom is great
The winner is: JBL Boom box!!!
Haha 👍🏾
Lol...he knows which is which. Doesn't ANYONE listen to rock anymore?
grave error, ese cajón llamado hyperboom debería retarle al cajón Sony xp700 por su tamaño.
No amigo jajajajajajjaja
They had both of those at Best Buy next to each other…..the Hyperboom was the shiz….
Yeah it’s a great speaker
Sony has too much bass and suppressing other frequencies
Without wanting to get all audiophile on you - clearly that's not the target market for these speakers - did you try to level match the speakers before you started the comparison ? Louder usually sounds better to most of us and these are definitely intended to be played loud. I admit that messing around with a SPL (aka decibel) meter is overkill but you can get phone apps that attempt to measure sound pressure levels. This guy seems happy enough with the free phone app he downloaded to compare with his Rat Shack SPL meter.

Thanks for the review.
Naw I didn’t do any of that bud. Sorry about that I’m as far as it gets as a audiophile and don’t want to be one 😊👍 just a regular consumer and thank you for the tips about the leveler I appreciate. Also thank you for watching my video means a lot 🙏🏾
Sony is way better ue megaboom sound crap.
Srs sony xg500 mega bass
Mega bass for the win for you 👍🏾
