Love ur reviews man. Keep up the great work. I think the JBL flip does sound a tad bit better than the Uboom but not by much IMO. The uboom is a great buy. U won't find a better speaker at a lower price. I will definitely have to grab one.
Nice comparison! I just got an Uboom L, and I was a bit disappointed first. Some time ago I had a B&O Beoplay A1 (1st. gen.), and I wasn't expecting it to match this expensive speaker, but I was definitely expecting better than it was. But then I found that it was using firmware version 0.5.0 (check it by pressing power and bluetooth button simultaneously). So I flashed firmware 0.4.8 (was default in 2022), and the sound improved so much! So compared to 0.5.0, with 0.4.8, you'll get: - more volume steps at lower volumes, less at higher volumes (so for the same loudness you'd have to boost more, but you can turn the volume down much better, e. g. for bedtime listening) - more natural bass (less lower bass, more upper bass) - way more natural mids, clearer vocals (0.5.0 has a tilt so upper mids are louder than lower mids) - way more sparkle in the treble (yep, what you mentioned, now on par with or maybe better than the Flip 6) - outdoor mode now boosts the bass and the treble, to improve outdoor sound, not battery life - haven't tested at louder volumes, but tests show that 0.4.8 is way punchier at louder volumes So you should really test the firmware version 0.4.8, it was created by Oluv and he links it here: www.patreon.com/posts/earfun-uboom-l-68681771. You'll need Windows to flash it. You can always go back to the default 0.5.0, it's also there. With the stock firmware, I wouldn't have kept it and ordered a Beosound A1 instead, which would have hurt quite a bit at 3x the price. But now I'll keep the Uboom L.
@@bamboo9666 I prefer the Uboom over both, I don't need the power of the Charge 5, the Uboom gets loud enough for me. But it also can play very quietly, at least after firmware change, and that's also important for me. But in the first place, with the alternative firmware, it just sounds awesome, far better than any other speaker in this price range! But I didn't do a direct comparison by myself, just saw a bunch of comparison demo videos and listened to different speakers individually.
JBL speakers have a peculiar sound, thumping bass and metallic high. Maybe advantageous in open space. Some people like it some don't and some indifferent. I don’t like it so I just ordered the Earfun and save some money at the same time for a good small speaker I was looking for.
I just got the UboomL, came with 050, was good but decided to downgrade cos of all the talk online about how good Oluv's tuning is. Could only find the 048, mehn I must say, the best thing I ever did for my ears. It sounds crisp just as the flip6 with a little more bass and open sound. Just wow. I see that the 043, 045, 048 are basically the same soundwise. 048 is just bug fixes.
@@CEONTHEMAKING You should make a new review video with the new firmware by Oluv. I really want to know the difference, that will be very informative for others too. 👍👍
@@markobozic998 You mean break-in process? I don't know I'm still kind of wondering if the brake-in/burn-in process is real or not. At least if it made any real difference. Still searching for the answer anywhere from internet and still no real convincing answers.
@@JouleAja for me it is logical for the new coil or spider to loosn up just like the New shoes or car needs some to really fit in, playing the whole spectrum od freaquency hz just makes that proces quicker and also hiting some notes that arent usually present im music..
@@igorz.3972 0.4.8 is generally the best, for some reason tho 0.4.3 sounds slightly better to me, not sure why but difference should be basically unnoticeable
The uboom weighs over two pounds. The flip weighs a pound and fits easily into most bags. I’m not saying it’s an unfair comparison but what I’m hearing is that the flip6 carries its weight given its stature.
@oluv's gadgets unfortunately the Uboom L weights more like 740 grams in real life. The manufacturer's statement is false. Try weighting one of yours, Oluv! It is actually a common phenomenon among speakers - the stated weight is different than the actual one. For example, a Soundcore Motion Boom weights 1545 g while the declared weight is 4.41 lb (about 2000 g).
Before anybody asks, the static is apart of the song 😂
can't go wrong with earfun uboom l. in the lower volume the bass still feel so deep and punchy
For sure!

Oh, didn't pay attention to the posting date, so you should have had Oluv's firmware already 🤦♂
Would you prefer uboom l over flip 6, or even charge 5?

@@VeitLehmann okay tks
myself prefer uboom slim since i purchased 2 of them and makes stereo sound connect with my pc , they are insanely great value !
I was about to buy the Flip 5 as it was on sale and little difference over Flip 6... this is definitely a steal
The difference is really not small lol. See reviews before saying b.s bro..
Great channel! Perfect to watch before you buy something 👍 You helped me with the Jabra elite active wireless, thank's Buddy😃
No, Thank You!
I’m not in the market for a bluetooth speaker, but it definitely sounded pretty good. Sounded more “alive” than the JBL speaker.

Tks for the review vid. For 2 speakers, do they just connect or run in stereo mode?
thanks. helped me make the decision
It kinda sounds better

Brilliant review brother. 👏
Thank you bro!
In my country, the Flip 6 costs approximately $20 more than the Uboom L ($80 vs. $100). Which should I get? I listen to metal
Flip 6 for sure
Jbl👍
Hi there, what's your opinion on the uboom l vs Bose SoundLink Flex?
Is the bass comparable and is the Bose better?
Bose better
Is this Earfun unit you tested has the new firmware tuned by Oluv?
And is this IP67 or IPX7? Because you said it's 67 but in the box, it says X7
I haven't done any updates. The Amazon listing says ip67, so that's what I was going off of. I'll have ask them and verify.

Is that prism colorful thing a desktop mouse pad ? Link?
It like a desk pad, but i bought it a few years back. Can't remember exactly where i got it. Sorry
How do they sound together using the dual media out on Android?
It blows away the Jbl or any similar speaker after the firmware update.
do you know by chance what exactly firmware is the best?

@@lukabosnjak3829 got it, thanks !
@@lukabosnjak3829 Might be slight hardware differences by production actually.
@@lukabosnjak3829better than firmware 0.5.0??
alll JBL speakers bass drops after 70% vol.
The Earfun looks like a great upgrade from my trusty Flip 5.
For sure bro!

Flip 6 is $120 so there is that
If you only spent this much energy getting real employment…
@oluv's gadgets is that weight for the Flip with or without a sock that you recommend? Lol
@oluv's gadgets love seeing your customer care touch here, Sir
