[@matsetizar65]

Thanks for making it very clear whether the speakers are stereo or mono. Not many reviewers bother with this anymore.

[@kevindoherty2716]

I wouldn't be concerned about these speakers being stereo or mono because those advertised stereo sound mono regardless as the two drivers are to close to hear any stereo separation.. If you want stereo with these little units purchase 2 with a connect feature and combine them to here real stereo seperation.

[@johndoe-vc1we]

What a treat. Never expected you to get this earfun speaker 😊

[@pickyaudio]

I love reviewing speakers!

[@TheTalolokins]

Impressive sound from Uboom, damn!

[@thewillsfamilyaccount6486]

Nicely done.. thank you..

[@catchthewave2172]

thank u for ur help, ur really nailin it!

[@pickyaudio]

No worries! And thank you 🙏

[@VeitLehmann]

Really insane! The EarFun sounds so much more natural than the JBL, even at high volumes! Even the treble is more clear, even and airy, despite the full-range speakers and missing tweeter in comparison.

[@mohammadzein504]

Great comparison Picky👏👏. The outdoor mode on the Uboom really stands out👍. Both are great at their perspective price point! But the fact that you can get two Earfuns , and have a sweet stereo setup. All for the price of one JBL is just amazing! 👌 Thank you for well thought comparison Sir😊✌✌

[@CrucisJon]

Happy to see you back brother! Hoping to see you make a review and do a rematch between Budget Wireless Earbuds vs Airpods Gen 3 Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS has LDAC and I wonder how will that make a difference compared to the last match up you made. I hope Soundpeats sponsor you!

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks bro! I do have them so I’ll be sure to do a comparison video 😊

[@CrucisJon]

@@pickyaudio Thank you for granting the request! Can't wait to watch it! I also want to know your thoughts about the issue with the Apple Airpods Pro that their ANC is getting worse and worse overtime. I think that could shake up your ANC ranking The video I'm referencing about is (Is Apple Making its Noise Cancelling Worse?) by Waveform clips. I think it's all over the internet forums. Would love to see your take on those too if you have time 😀

[@pickyaudio]

I’ll have to check it out!

I personally stick with JBL when it comes to speakers but after seeing this, it's clear they aren't the best out there in value

[@rolins3279]

Strangely, I prefer the sound of the Uboom, especially outdoors 🤔

[@SauliusJ29]

Hi Brother you need to try Teufel Rockster Cross or Teufel Boomster 2021 you will be shocked they plays on another level jbl is for kids and Teufel for Mature audiences they sounds incredible

[@mayankrocks89]

Hey mate thank you for making these videos and may I suggest a comparison video between Earfun U Boom L and Soundcore Motion+? Because they both have left and right stereo channels and price is around same when Soundcore has sales.

Oluv already did this comparison if you check his channel. He did it with an EQ setting on the motion+ that was recommended by Alan Ross and then there was a little catfight between the two.

[@madelogam5836]

if you love bass, louder, has better soundstage go with motion+ if you want some clean and pleasing sound but have none that i mention above go with uboom L

[@johndoe-vc1we]

This comment is for people who get the speaker in the future. Check which firmware version it has by pressing the BT & power button and a voice should tell you. 041 to 048 have Oluv's tuning. Anything below does not and you will have to manually update the firmware. This happened with units released Jun '22. Ones released a few months later should already have it They have released a new version 050 with more bass. This version was released by Earfun without informing Oluv and isn't balanced like the earlier ones. It was released because some people wanted more bass and did not like his flat tuning.

[@android584]

That's good to know but disappointing if considering purchasing one from the Earfun website. Surely those would be 050. The Olav tuning would be a marketing gimmick if they don't actually use his tuning.

[@johndoe-vc1we]

@@android584 not necessary it will have 050 by default. Unless some one who bought recently wants to confirm

@@76tbond how's the sound

[@76tbond]

@@NamTran-xc2ip It sounds good. Definitely more bass. But I have to agree with the people that say the outdoor mode is pretty useless on 5.0. Sounds way worse than just turning up regular mode. Hopefully something comes out that makes outdoor mode sound good again.

[@anijamed]

as i cant buy the uboom L on the country i lived, i just settled to another charge 5 same as the color u have, a grey and a black

[@pickyaudio]

Great speaker! Enjoy 😊

[@heyking8583]

The 2 uboom does better than 2 charge 5, but if one unit charge 5 slightly better

[@S.khan.123]

Uboom vs jbl ?

[@asmacr.8391]

I never knew how good the charge 5 sounds until you compare it to uboom its more open the uboom is a little bit muffled for me

[@joelf5565]

And in person it is very muffled. I returned mine. Much preferred my Flex. Sure it’s twice the price but worth it for me.

[@diegorico80]

Yo tuve el jbl xtreme 3 pero me parecía bastante exagerado el tamaño del dispositivo en comparación con nivel de volumen que manejaba. Ahora que tengo este uboom L estoy encantado con su calidad de sonido y nivel de volumen. ☺️

[@narendrairengbam112]

When comparing outdoor, the uboom actually sound a little more in the face and efficient. The jbl may be louder but sounds very spreaded and wide, therefore it's sound is felt less compared to the uboom. So at just half the price, the earfun beats the jbl anyday.

[@janaojana1061]

[@Deebohuncho]

The Charge 5 still does have noticeable latency for KZbin videos (>100ms delay). UBOOM video mode on lowers down to ~75ms, which is right around that 80ms sweet spot

[@USERNAME-Frankie_Techs]

⬆️⬆️⬆️Hurray you are chosen as one of our Lucky subscribers dm to Open your Surprise🎊……

[@johndoe-vc1we]

Umm, it lowers to a little more than that in video mode only. The workaround is to use an aux cable.

[@johnsuckher3037]

100ms is small, there is barely any difference when we compare just 30ms. Anyway, you get two ubooms so it can better match charge 5 and then you're forced to use 500ms uboom latency

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

UBoom L sound signature falls apart at higher volume. The bass drops out and it gets brighter. Not a good speaker if you want to listen at higher volume levels. Charge 5 is a superior all around speaker.

[@pickyaudio]

Any speaker at this size does this. They don’t have enough power/speaker size to push out bass at higher volumes. But yes the charge 5 performs better at higher volumes when it comes to bass

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

@@pickyaudio that's actually wrong. The similar size Tribit XSound Mega holds it's sound signature very well throughout the vol. range. Hope this helps. 😉

[@pickyaudio]

Nah most small speakers definitely lose a lot of bass at higher volumes. But I have not tired the xsound mega 🤔

[@JaysStraightUpReviews]

@@pickyaudio you should check it out. I did a video on it compared to the UBoom L. 😉

Never Again to Olaf because he is a certified clown, bully, liar and bias.

[@Snuffflux]

@@pinroshan020 Oluv goes above and beyond to provide clean, unaltered samples of the headphones/speakers as you would really hear them, how is he biased? He's the only review channel on youtube that actually lets you (sort of) listen to the product before you buy it with direct back and forth comparisons. He definitely has strong opinions but for good reason, a lot of overhyped tech is sold at twice the price it should these days when proper tuning on cheaper equipment can sound just as good if not better.

Uboom sounds better jbl somewhat more base and lower sound quality.

Idk if you updated the firmware on the Uboom but anyone who knows something about speakers will realise that Earfun is way more refined.

I didn’t know there was a firmware update. Was this on the IOS or android app. I checked the IOS app but saw no update
