@oluv's gadgets lol honestly dude you have great comebacks but i unsubscribed from your channel when i started to see that it became an infomercial for your own line of products. until then, i would advise against personal attacks until your own house is in order.
@oluv's gadgets For no apparent reason when i talked about it in this very video and left a comment on the pinned thread here ua-cam.com/video/_7NOhGtdzy0/v-deo.html telling you BEFORE the video what and why i was doing. You are two faced, a liar and a bully. Do you ever take responsibility for your own actions? Wrong firmware when thats how the speaker is sold, come on, you got yourself involved in a mess and now you want to blame everyone else. If you hadnt started bullying me with your personal attacks and comments on my video the next video would have been the update, and you knew that. You had to delete them though didn't you so nobody could follow the trail. Comment left by me to Olaf BEFORE i made this video. "Alan Ross Reviews 4 weeks ago @oluv's gadgets hope to get a video up tomorrow and i really tried to get this right putting aside all thats been said before. I did ask for an updated unit but they are saying the new production wont hit market till probably September. as i dont like recommending people update their units unless they have a compelling reason due to risk of bricking the speaker i am reviewing with your older firmware. I will give the new firmware a go once the review is out to see the difference. I have made it clear in the video my testing is with old firmware and you recommend the newer firmware. i will include a link to new firmware with video. I did ask earfun about how representative the older firmware is and they insist the difference is small, actually quoting a 3% difference 🤷♂ You might not like what I say but its simply my honest opinion and i know our tastes and ears are not quite in sync 🤗 I do think its a great speaker for the money they are asking, about $70, im just not as enthusiastic as you compared to more expensive options. I will ask for a second unit i think also as per your suggestion for a stereo test and also to check the differences between two. Oh i should also add i used three different eqs for the three different volumes i compared the Uboom vs the M+ at. That was just to be as fair as possible to both speakers. Also something to put into the mix is that uses aac even on android. This will also make it a bit more unpredictable on android. I dont touch apple so my testing was all done on android. Are you aware of any android vs apple differences?"
@@alanrossreviews yeah I just updated my UBOOM L. I gotta say the speaker does sound better but the process of updating it wasn’t very intuitive. It sounds good though. Totally worth the 70 bucks
Alan, maybe you could try to put aside all of personal attacks from the past and do the review with the new firmware. It will be interesting to hear your opinion on it.
I've been watching oluv since he first started UA-cam. Him and you are the only 2 I watch for BT speakers anymore. You guys give the best and most thorough reviews. 👍
I've bought 2 products Oluv promoted on this channel... both are major disappointments... he bashes products that are loved by other reviews while promoting and pushing his own "tuned" items... starting to wonder if his ears are just better than everyone else's... or if he just makes it all up. Love my Soundcore products personally... all I even need.
@@pesto12601 To each their own I guess. I bought the Soundcore Motion+ actually by listening it from Oluv's first and then Alan's for the EQ. Has been my go to portable speaker until now. Both reviewers have their own things that I dislike but, their review is detailed so I don't really care.
Oluv is not a reviewer anymore he is just doing sponsers n all(sales man) I have myself listened to motion plus, charge 5 and uboom side by side.....but genuinely I will say best value will definitely be the soundcore motion Plus ❤Charg 5 also does sound great in my opinion But the uboom is just too much of highs which sounds unrealistic to be very honest And the lack of bass definitely makes it sound way more thinner and sharper to an extent where for long periods u can't listen to it ❤ its not at all a hifi sounding speaker Oluv is just saying rubbish....
the uboom with oluv tuning is very neutral................according to guys who dont like too much bass and like pushed highs 😁 im not knocking the uboom l, it has a place in its sector, around £60. But the myth that it is a neutral speaker is craziness beyond belief, i even hear people claiming it is monitor like. it just shows how easy it is to fool people if you tell them enough times it is flat and neutral that they will believe it despite all the measurements showing it isnt.
@@alanrossreviews i myself have studio monitors in my studio setup 😂and i know it very well what neutral, flat sound is like ......but to be very honest most of the audience who just now a days wants a flat sounding speaker for music listening.... is basically just a trend going on. They just love the idea of having a so called studio monitor like Bluetooth speaker 😂 because....the truth is Maximum of the people will not enjoy a flat sound signature for long time listening periods .....and that's why different brands have their different sound signature I really prefer a warm yet clear sound signature over a flat one for enjoy music for a long period And a speaker with slightly warm sound signature can be definitely tuned in a way where the sound is very clear with all the frequency audible Its just a matter of taste Only having a flat sounding speaker doesn't mean it will be the most enjoyable one So definitely clarity, instrument seperation details in music can also be easily heard in a slightly warm sound signature speaker without being muffled I think HK GO PLAY 3 IS an amazing indoor speaker but yes if the room in which the speaker is used is a small one then it may sound muffled sometimes.... But in a medium to large size room it just sounds very smooth to ears🤍
@@bisheswarsaha5605 you hit the nail on the head, flat does not mean enjoyable. even flat monitors need to be sized for distance from wall, distance from listener etc. this is idea flat means flat end of is such a fable that ive given up trying to point out the fallacy of flat and what that even means. i only point out the uboom l because it is the reddit favourite which they call flat and a simple measurement can demonstrate otherwise 😲😲 the craziness of the audio world 😁😁
@@alanrossreviews so true sir I have been watching ur videos from a long....and im also a sound enthusiast i love speakers....used a lot of Bluetooth as well as other speakers too....and i really love ur reviews...they are just on point ...keep going love ur work
Hi Alan Thank you for being so tollerant, realistic and honest. I have followed you both and I think you are the most reliable audio gadgets reviewers on the net. As always Oluv has done an excellent job here EQ-ing level by level. The problem is that the electronics (amplifier inside) is having trouble pushing the power for the bass punches. The higher level you set, the more is the whole audio dropping/sinking at the moments of bass punches. So you get the bass boost on frequency response graph, but it is only relative to the rest (mids & highs). In fact the real life listener experiences something like hiccups (power drops) instead of full scale punches. This is significant on high levels (70%-80%+). I have noticed several readers on his video sharing similar observations. Not sure if this is really a lack of power or an unwanted negative feedback on the amp. Obviously Earfun have attempted to address this by a firmware fix. Anyway it is a hardware limitation that is preventing the speaker from unfolding it's full potential at higher levels. All in all the speaker is really good but not perfect. No one is to be blamed maybe except for the electronic engineers at Earfun :)
I unsubscribed Oluvs channel. Looks like he gets paid by earfun to advertise their products. Imho the recent videos are not neutral anymore, but biased. Shame. Please dont do similar things to us, Alan! Please keep up your awesome unbiased and critial reviews!
im too small for anyone to care about, yes Oluv finally took the money. He gets $3 per speaker sold, not sure how the returns factor in. Its not a bad speaker at all and good value for money but the hype he gave it saying everything under $200 is now obsolete is simply stupid 🙈
That’s the fair review we’ve been waiting for! Yes. It’s somehow a good speaker, at least against the JBL and Anker. But it just lacks of the bass, doesn’t it? With a richer bass, it would be actually a nice speaker 🤔. Well lol, I guess, that’s actually basically what you said in your review 😅🙈 but yeah, that’s how it is. Like everything is fine, just the way oluv is replying and answering is so wrong. If he would stay „professional“ everything would be fine somehow 🙈
Now, all i wanted to see is how it compares to the latest fw. Then i can make a decision whether to buy or not. Thank you so much Alan for this review! Right now it's a no go for me, I find the bass and fullness bit lacking for my test. In this video, I totally agree to your conclusion.
Thanks for keeping my expectations in check! Was about to blind buy this even though I already have the Soundcore Motion+ and the Maxsound Plus. However, I do listen almost always on axis and did find the UBoom L sharp sounding. Will hold off until confirmation that the update really makes a big difference
How do you feel about the maxsound plus compared to the motion +, ide like to hear 2 maxsound plus, wondering if theyde be more hifi sounding than the motion+, that earfun kind of strikes me as harsh sounding in the highs
i have the bogasing s8 pro and the earfun uboom l.the bogasing is much better in sound and bass they are hifi sounding clear crystal treble and good low punchy bass . it is built premium with 1 kg of weight. sorry earfun but the bogasing is way better which have 2 tweeters 10w each and 2 speakers which are 20w each
Guys, you both share the passion for the sound, wth!!just stop this nonsense battle of who is better :))) and let's try to focus on how to provide better reviews for us, for the viewers, that's why you both are here!!
My Uboom L should be arriving today. This review and Oluv's comments got me really, what's the proper word, worried. So you promote a speaker with a tuning that is supposed to sound fantastic. Release date X so people get all excited. Then people start leaving their email addresses behind for a voucher. Now comes the part that worries me the most. Oluv/Olaf saying that the drivers changed. So actually everyone bought a different speaker than what was shown in the videos. Imagine if this was a car tuned by a famous company, you ordered it and when you pick it up at the garage they say that the engine is different than what the tuner showed you.
@@alanrossreviews The only reply I ever got from him I believe was that I was deaf. Well I guess he must have had received the same product with a newer updated driver. LOL Well yes eventually the headphones died and I ordered another one of the same from another seller ... and it sounded really bad. Just shows that consistancy, or even fake ones (especially earphones), are a serious issue.
Earfun are risk a lot with him especially after the last year Fu...ups with original Free Pro Olav edition. He claimed they are as good as Sennheiser 600 but after sales ended he said that he make a mistake.. forget clean his ears so now he will offer a better EQ, a really really amazing one but only for patrons..... without a new EQ, without paying him monthly... you will end up with dull and muffled sounding earphones.
yeah that was a great one, i like to remind him about that. he got his ears cleaned and then realised his whole referenced chain was referenced to ear wax lol
Motion+ sounds better to my ears it's got a warmer, fuller sound with better dispersion and of course more deep bass. UBoom L is more flat but also bright because of that high end lift and it adds clarity to the presence region but at the cost of a warmer sound.
@@alanrossreviews for a speaker motion Boom is still better only because it has that low end deep bass as you call Motion plus is only good for home listening or listening to all genres of songs
Great review! It’s too bad you and Oluv got into that argument yesterday.. I just started reading it and then poof it was gone. I just find it weird that oluv used to praise the motion plus and now it’s “unlistenable” he’s also said that about a few other speakers since the earfun L. I know he tuned it and everything but you can’t just discredit other speakers you used to praise. Maybe he was just upset that the newer earfuns with the update aren’t out yet and the consistency of how all the speakers sounds are different. Can’t wait to hear what it sounds like after the update! Hope you two can work things out.
it wasnt an argument, im happy to engage heated reasoned debate but oluv can only hurl childish insults. a seemingly intelligent guy who writes in english as a person with a good level of literacy and yet simply cannot engage in meaningful discussion. it didnt start yesterday btw, there is a long history. Will do the update but not for a while, time to chill 🤗
I was researching the tribit maxsound plus a few weeks back and came across Alan's older videos on it. Also checked out Olav's ones from a few years back, and both praised it highly. A Alan has kept it consistent but Olav in his recent video, was comparing it with the Uboom L and slating the Tribit Maxsound, and part of me was jokingly thinking, wow his really invested in the earfun, then I read his other touchy comments and find out he has some deal with them. A real shame.
I don't know if people are experiencing the same but this speaker isn't great sounding with stock and after firmware update on certain tracks around 60% and above. I have lots of weird artifacts on certain tracks where the speaker just can't handle bass and clarity, which becomes a mess. Playing on an EQ lowering bass really helps but it just sounds tiny sometimes, this is really a "good" speaker but not the hype everyone is talking about. Considering buying a Anker motion+ and returning it
The motion Plus seems to be a better performing and overall more rounded speaker. It has better (more pronounced) midrange and vocals, and not overly exaggerated highs. The Boom L can get tired listening after longer sessions to due to the exaggerated highs, lots of hissing sound at the high frequencies. If you do a quick AB test the Boom L can sound better to most people right away due to the brighter sound and highs. But the Boom seems to have better and more neutral tonality than the Motion, the Motion sounds colored and just different. If you want a step up in sound quality to both speakers that is more musical, clean, accurate, and better battery life (but don't mind sacrificing some portability)...go for the Audio Pro T3+ Awesome review as always Alan. I just recently got into bluetooth speakers and found your channel. Hope you continue releasing these unbiased reviews!
Hey guys I like both Alan and Oluv’s channels .. they helped me to find the right speaker ! They have different approaches but sometimes Oluv’s answers are a little aggressive it’s true. I loved his comparison tool very well done (disappeared?). So continue my friends and forget it 😉
I'm three minutes in and I can tell that you are fair and respectful of the UBoom L being tuned by Oluv. I like his Soundcore Q30 EQ which made me interested in neutral tuning.
Both sounds fantastic , motion+ has the bass and warmer sound, uboom L has that clarity, it depends to our taste now and luckily i have motion+ and my uboom L coming in 1 week lol gonna compare it by myself and I think that’s the best way to judge it, goodwork alan thanks for this review🤘
@@cuerex8580 You cant kill the SMP in terms of punch with this difference in weight. But in terms of bass quality and overall sound quality the L beats all my devices in this "class" - Tribit Mega and Stormbox (even the Pro), Denon Envaya 250, Sony XB30, Vifa Reykjavik, Audio Pro P5, 1More, Earfun Uboom (360) and also the SMP. The only thing I could imagine it would be a close race with the Flip 6 but I don't want to buy it just for personal comparison at it's price point. Two L in TWS with updated FW is clearly the most HiFi-Experience for me so far. Awesome.
id say it was more of a niche speaker but not something i would use as a go to 😛 but im waiting on the BUT YOU USED OLD FIRMARE mob 🤭 but this is how the speaker is sold and updating is no straight forward task so for first video i think this was fair.
I have the uboom L and after updating the speaker it's night and day. myearfun updated the drivers last minute. It can do deeper bass. But he's firmware was for the old drivers. So he had to frantically come out with a better frimware. Bass improves dramatically and the treble is slightly pulled back. I love this speaker.
I am curious how much that new firmware for the Uboom L changes things. Did I understand correctly that there will be app support from Earfun at some point as well? Thank you once again for your extensive testing and comparisons, Alan! 😁👍👏
Tribit also gives you the option for app support for the Stormbox Mega but not at release but via FW update. I don't know what's the f...ing problem to finish any product before release in this times . 🤷🏻♂️
That earfun definitely sounds cleaner but lacks low end punch Motion plus has EQ you can make it clearer but it also lacked low end "deeper bass" compared motion boom Motion plus sounds better at 100% Doesn't matter they are all great speakers anyways I'd personally choose motion plus Everyone's taste is different I like boosted low end with cleaner mids and treble I see you liking the richer sounds with smoother response
@@alanrossreviews I didn't said anything sounded worse I would like to have motion plus as a every day speaker Motion boom for party and enjoying edm music Earfun Uboom L for Listening to country and classical songs But Motion plus is a overall package Only because it has tweeter it can definitely sound much better Uboom L with the EQ I like
Liked the earfun after watching on alot of reviews , I bought it and think it's great. Clear sound, good fast punch. I have alot of speakers and this is the best performance v value of them all. 👏 . My son has a motion + but it's a bit muddled low down for me. He is very young and likes the boomy sound.
I got two Earfun UBoom L today, made firmware update for one of them only and compared it to other. I have to say it's like day and night difference in sound, it's fantastic after the update. I think you should make another review with the update to be fair.
To be fair? 🤔 I am one guy, why am i the focus of the uboom? I did a review the fairest way i could. Its not my fault oluv has got himself wrapped up in this launch fiasco. I would have made the firmware update next video if oluv hadn't attacked my whole setup in the comments and then extended it to personal attacks. I will lose my integrity for no man. Everytime i get a not fair comment i will delay that video by one week. If you think it wasn't fair do your own video. I yield to no man 🍌
@@alanrossreviews No excuse for his behavior, that isn’t doing him any favors, but continuing this isn’t going to make it any better. You gave your honest opinion without the latest firmware. I respect that, but consider doing it with the latest firmware. I believe it sounds better with it, but your review may not agree and that’s fine. You strike me as being a good person and your restraint here when under the unnecessary drama proves that. As a matter of fact, if anything, your integrity shines through. Just take the high road and continue doing informative videos. Some folks will never take that path, but that really says more about them than you. Have a great day, Alan and keep on keeping on! 👍🏼
@@alanrossreviews By this logic, any speaker with an app, that has the option of updating firmware etc, you would selectively NOT do it? That is definitely not fair. Love your channel, but come on man, mistakes get made. Equal is equal, this particular review, is not.
@@alanrossreviews you may not be interested, but would you update the one you have instead of waiting till September? Earfun may not have taken oluv seriously over time and downplayed the update I wonder? They might not have liked reading these comments or watching his videos or his dealing with his perfectionist methods, maybe things went sour. But a 3% change I kind of doubt. If we look at how most Chinese or even American speakers are tuned / upgraded annually, do we really trust their sound engineers words on sound improvements? I don't think so. But I understand if not interested. After all this your just the only voice I trust other than his, personalities aside. I prefer your personal sound signature btw. And the updates he made I believe we're to tone down the treble and have better bass output. So the 2 main criticisms. Probably still not perfect, little too much treble on the outdoor mode which I would probably want to listen to most of the time.
Well done Alan, I was really looking forward to this one and I wasn't dissapointed. At least not by the review, can't say the same about the speaker. Looking forward to your comparison of the old and the new firmware, also vs the still excellent Maxsound Plus! Cheers mate!!😉
@@alanrossreviews I believe you mate and its easy for me to say, but try not to take to heart all of negativity that has happened, because if you could just take away Oluvs temper tantrum and his childish insults, this was a big deal for all of us bt speaker enhusiasts, I can't remember being this excited, to watch your take on a speaker and if anything you did it justice. Much love Alan!
Bought 2 of the older uboom speakes a few years ago (on rec of Oluv), had connection and latency issues, returned them. from your review still issues if you want to use these for video . Hard finding reasonable priced speaker that's not tuned for pounding bass. Great review thanks.
Great review, as always, Alan! I returned mine. I'd bought it hoping it could replace my Motion+ (mainly used as desktop speaker due to low latency and aux-in) and Soundcore Boost (travel speaker), but it can't do either as well as those. It sounds (and looks) worse than the Motion+ and is way bigger than the Boost - weighed in around 750g, not the 650g stated, and is far bulkier - I'd rather take the Motion+ or Stockwell 2 if I have that much room in my luggage! Also, the update situation is ridiculous. I did it, but what a faff, and an absolute joke that they don't supply the right cable. But despite all of that, and Oluv's disgraceful behaviour on here, I'd have kept it if it sounded great, but it's nothing special. Ok around 50-60% volume, but outside of that range, nah, not for me. And no ability to eq it, you just have the normal mode which is subdued, and the outdoor mode which is overblown - the highs, in particular, ruin it. The little Soundcore Boost, whilst far from perfect, always puts a smile on my face due to its bass response. I don't choose a travel speaker for it's neutrality (not that the Uboom L even sounds neutral) if I did I'd bring the Maxsound+, I want something that punches above its weight and sounds fun. If I want a bigger sound than that I have the Motion+ or Boom, if I want a more neutral response I have the Stockwell 2. Perhaps if you had no other Bluetooth speaker you could make a decent case for this at the £50-70 mark, but all of Oluv's fanboys lapping this up are a joke - if ever there was a case of Emperor's new clothes...
the reason to buy this speaker is because you want something costing around £60, then its a reasonable option. But yeah something like the stockwell is a different league. The problem for this speaker is not the sound its the hype. Apparently being returned in droves. Hype is good, over hype is a killer. Mine weighs in at 730g, i wonder if there are different versions of this speaker knocking around.
Uboom L sounds like somebody putting sand in my ears.... Soundcore motion + sounds more reacher/full and balanced, and a more bass - make it sound like bigger speaker!!!
Nice review. Another decent speaker! Looks like Oluv did a good job with the tuning. Personally to I'll still lean a bit more towards Soundcore, more specifically it's EQ app. I'm so reliant on that thing it's frustrating.
@@alanrossreviews polisch geek, Chinese speaker u boom made in Poland tuned in austria 🇦🇹 shoot me lol , I am rolling off my chair.....I need holiday ass welll
no thats not accurate and i addressed this in the video. as far as earfun are concerned the difference between old and new firmware is minimal. There was no problem as such, just Oluv tuned a single unit and the normal speaker variance he decided was too much and he wanted to retune it. i made it clear in the video i am using old firmware because that is how earfun are selling it and any firmware update carries a risk of bricking the speaker. new firmware will be stock around september only because so many people asked for it after Oluv said it required the new firmware to sound good. My impression is that earfun would have been happy with the old firmware. i am going to try and geta second unit and update that one and then compare.
Kind of underwhelming considering the "beef" that raised expectations for it.😄 Yep, it's a niche product better suited for certain genres/musical preferences. The practical choice (esp for the budget-conscious music fan who listens to multiple genres) should still be the tried and tested all-rounder that provides clarity, has a fuller sound, and comes with adjustable EQ. Great, informative, critical, and fair review, as always.
@@alanrossreviews You know, looking at that large 6 KHz dip on the indoor mode Uboom L.... If I could duct tape one to the Motion Boom Plus and use a 1/8" splitter....
Just stumbled across your channel! Great review! That's what I thought 🤔 ... Can you PLEASE Please pretty please! try a comparison with the updated Version from his patreon (dont have to become one)? Would be interesting to see what changed and if it's better. I've read on a lot of places that at first they thought it was kinda meh, but after the update it was actually very good for it's size. Read somewhere that the update works better with windows 10 and win11 might get stuck somehow. I'll test it when I get mine in a couple days
5:20 he didn't update it which is the worst thing he could have done to review this speaker. stock it sounds aweful. it is handy to have laptop lying around to do the update. desktop pc didn't work for me
where is your evidence that the difference is night and day, stop spamming my comments section. Earfun themselves insist the difference is minimal, early reports that i have had all say the difference is small, provide your evince for claiming its night and day. again this is the speaker as sold, you should take this up with earfun if they didnt get it right., I am not going to recommend people update their speaker this way since all the evidence i have does not justify the cost benefit ratio.
something nobody is talking about but i mentioned in the video and still nobody has gotten their heads around..this speaker uses aac on android. this alone is going to give hit and miss results. i will do a comparison of old and new when i have recovered from the nonsense that has gone on around this review. 🙈 thanks for watching though and normally we dont have to deal with such controversy, this speaker release has been a nightmare for earfun. i would love to know how many get returned because they were bricked during update.
@@alanrossreviews haha earfun is probably having lots of fun, you're right. but maybe this will spark new ideas on how to create signature eq sound and make it more accessible. on studio monitors you can make measurements to calibrate the sound on the go
@@alanrossreviews yeah the release is a pure shitshow. But to be fair to Oluv it's due to earfun... He released a video a week ago where he explained that he tuned it and then they send him a new version which had to be tweaked again by him, but the release was too close and the release was on a previous unit, as I understood. I read on some random apps, like for example a deals app, where there was quite a discussion about it. People admitted it sounded underwhelming but update did quite a lot for the sound. I will get mine on friday and compare it to JBL charge 5 and Soundcore motion Boom with different EQs. Might come back and give my opinion. Thanks again! 👍 Great review! Also would be interesting for the fun of it if you can get an iphone and compare sound from Android to iPhone lol
Thanks Alan for very fair review. Earfun is ruined by Olaf oveboosted ego. This is what I'm hearing in this speaker. Interesting is why Olaf said that the company's like Earfun don't care about the sound quality, they just wanna sell the product so... why did they hire him in the first place? I will stay with my motion plus which I can EQ to my liking.
It's frustrating because I would like to try out Earfun products but I'm just soured on the brand because if the affiliation with Oluv. It's plausible I would like his tuning but when hes telling everybody else that their products are trash and his is the only good one on the market, I just can't help but roll my eyes.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 oluv is a jerk,but i think the products are very good. I have their original esrbuds and find them very impressive, a great value for 40 bucks
ecxellent review from THE ALAN ROSS LAB!!! i still gotta get the eq setting for my anker boost upgraded from? what for it?? THE ALAN ROSS LAB!! thank you.....................
@@alanrossreviews oh Ola or olive?? That's the guy who runs around in the wilderness with a pallet? And two Bluetooth speakers?? I think I've seen his stuff. LMFAO!!
The UBOOM sounds better in outdoor mode at low volumes, at least through my headphones. Indoor sounds far too bright for my tastes and gets worse as volume increases. Each track with a kick drum make it very very obvious. It just doesn't thump with the UBOOM. The motion plus maintains the low end better as volume increases and pulls ahead for me. I'd go for the motion plus as it's so close at low volumes, but really pulls ahead the louder you push the two. But why buy the motion plus when you can get the boom for the same price today, unless space is the biggest consideration?
yes but the motion boom is a different beast in type of sound and size. of course for that money if i could only get one speaker it would be motion boom.
@@alanrossreviews I have to respectfully disagree, for me the UBOOM L sounds better, sorry i know you are the expert but i enjoy listening to my 2 / UBOOM L in my office (with outdoor mode on) in low volume way more than the motion plus .
superb review alan! done extremely professionally! the difference between you and oluv is that oluv forces his opinion to viewers, whereas you lay down all the facts ,give your opinion and ask us to form our own opinions. Thank you for teaching us a thing or two about how to take rivalry in a healthy way. Kudos!
no surprise there, you are the one that said i know nothing because you didnt like my motion plus eq and thumbed all my videos down. Its called childish behaviour but go ahead if you find it satisfying. but thanks for commenting, it helps the algorithm.
Oluv is a weirdo who can’t seem to get around the fact that music taste and what people deem necessary / most important in a BT speaker is subjective to said individual. Typical ‘audiophile’ who thinks his ears are superior to us mere mortals or “kiddies” and always comes off very condescending & rude in comments. You’re a much nicer bloke with excellent reviews mate. 👍🏼
😛 thanks for that. yeah it always makes me laugh when someone declares themselves an audiophile while listening to these little budget low end codec portables 🤣
I still don't understand all the fuzz is about this UBOOM, Motion+ sounds more complete with a great EQ App. For a more neutral sound I have the Maxsound Plus🤷♂️
I got a pair of these, they're a great upgrade for me over my 2 Maxsound Plus's. I usually bring a pair of whatever is required. Minirig 2.2 setup, two Aiwa Exos 9"s or two Soundboks 2's for total overkill. I've gone a little overboard...maybe.
I’d like to understand why many in the comments are talking trash about oluv and the uboom, since Alan’s judgment is overall positive. You see, that’s the problem. This childish attitude just lead to nonsense conversations about sound quality. The fact that you can get the speaker for this cheap and you can make it better (or fix it in some cases) by udpating the firmware on your own doesn’t seem to me a reason to criticize the product. I personally don’t like the soundcore motion + because of its boomy and not refined sound, so this speaker seems a good alternative for a cheaper price. Peace ✌🏻
I think they are commenting with in mind oluvs trolling in the comments till he deleted them all. So you see while you dont understand why people are negative on this speaker since the review was positive it was oluv himself who started complaining about the video and quickly descended into personal jabs and yet as you say, it wasn't even a negative review.
As far as Oluv goes, the reason people are talking trash about him, is because he left some disrespectful insults towards Alan, and was being egotistical in a thread that is now deleted (per himself of course) Most people ain’t gonna take to kind to that. As for the UBoom, most of the comments ain’t been straight up trashing it (maybe 2-3 at the most) the general consensus is that it’s a decent speaker worthy of its price, it’s just by hyped up like it’s the holy grail when it’s not. One of the best for its price, but nothing revolutionary.
Hello Alan. Have you already tested the new update to firmware 0.40 on the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom? Do you think it's safe to do this? Thank you in advance for your feedback.
no i am so far behind because the more i do the more people ask for and quite honestly i dont have time for it all, i have to prioritise what im going to do. I have to enjoy what i do and dont want to just do stuff for the sake of it.
@@alanrossreviews I can totally understand you. Keep it up! It's something very special anyway, how much high-quality content you offer to interested parties. I would like to thank you again for this and always keep having fun with it. Greetings from Germany!
Hi, i have installed it yesterday and have tested the Boom at home and on a gardenparty with many different music genres. No issues noticed. Sounds and runs absolutely fine 👌🏻😉
Ok .. In the end I took advantage of the price discount and bought 2x Earfun Uboom L speakers. I did a quick test before firmware upgrade and was not impressed, but OMG..., after upgrading both and listening to them connected, I'm speechless. I mean, for the price, to get that sound quality!? They're worth more than £70 each, and I still got them for £50 each. They sound amazing for the size and price. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I highly recommend purchasing 2 speakers and update them with the tools provided in the description. (The way I updated them is: I downloaded both the software and the firmware file, opened the software, then connected the speaker to the PC in power off mode , using another cable, from the motion plus speaker, while holding the Bluetooth button pressed, then I followed the commands required by the software. It took a few seconds to update. I kept pressing the Bluetooth button all this time.)
Great "Neutral" review as always Alan👏 even tho neither of these speakers are my cup of tea I perfer the Motion boom plus since I can tune this speaker to my liking with a more dynamic listening experience. The Earfun U Boom L on the other hand sounds pretty good at 70% as a all around listening experience but the bass is simply not there for my personal taste
@@alanrossreviews Hi Allan i like so much your videos, I would like to ask you a question, do You know edifeir speaks, if u know what your opinion about they speaks?
The U boom L doesn't really have any deep bass and from listening to olve's review at max volume there is this ear piercing hissing from the highs as which normally means the highs are uncontrollable., overall i would choose the charge 5 and i also wonder how the flip 6 sounds because I might upgrade by xb23 to the xb33 which I hope I get before they discontinue them or upgrade to the flip 6 sense the charge 5 is exspensive.
Alan I love your reviews thank you. If you had £100 right now what speaker would you buy. I’m out to buy one in the next day or so with Prime day going. Cheers mate.
Hi Alan, thank you for your great reviews! Are you planning to compare these two with latest firmware anytime soon? I'm planning to buy one of these for Christmas, but I don't have any option to listen to them before buiyng
im on a long break at the moment and anything involving the uboom hell is way down my list to be honest. entirely due to oluvs attack on me and followed by his fanboys.
The freq response for indoor mode seems perfect around 40%. Anything above that the treble takes over way too much. I’m curious how you guys listen to your speaker. I find where you place the speaker makes so much of a difference it could be hard to tune. Anything places near a wall the bass seems to crank x2, especially indoors. Also indoors most people will probably won’t go over 60% volume whereas it’s the opposite outdoors.
Btw I really like you as a person as far as I can tell, your channel content, how you handle your community and your community in general. Greetings from Berlin
IMO, This is the excellent way and a good example to gain our trust! please DON'T CHANGE eventhough i know you would cos You already did it all perfectly enough! Let this inpiring others too! ✌️
Earfun uboom L with the new firmware looks more detailed but with less bass and treble ... am I wrong? However a great speaker and I would like to understand with 2 ubooms it is worth it compared to speakers under 150 dollars ...
not tried the new firmware and i dont think i ever will. having been the target of personal attacks from oluv and his crew for not updating in my first video he can go f*(k himself now, i wont be helping him sell this speaker anytime soon.
51 min...wow, that's the 'Lawrence of Arabia' of your reviews, Alan 👏👏👏, great job! As for the uboom - sounds a bit too harsh for my ear, not enough bass. I prefer the Charge 5 from the 4 speakers you have tested. Will stick now with the Flex, though I was disappointed to see it spontaneously disconnected twice in the last days. Never happened to me with flip 3 and charge 3.
In fact, as you said, you can use a 3rd party app eq to bring those highs down in the Earfun, in outdoors mode that would be great considering how well tunned the bass is in that eq mode. The thing is, if we are talking about using an external eq app, it can be also aplied to the Motion+, to tune the bass, making it deeper and less boomy, with an overall better curve in the bass frecuencies, which i do with mine. With that, i think there is no point in buying the Earfun if you already have a M+, at least imo. A thing a really like about the UBoom L though, is how the sound is addapting to the different volume levels, those drivers are getting the best(?) sound they can without distorting, i'd love other brands could do that too. Thanks for the, as always, high quality content 💯🔥
😝 people will make their judgements...this was mine...... 🥳 for me it sounds like a niche $70 speaker, its not tuned for mass market thats for sure. 🤗 expectations were set very high, that may be its biggest issue, thanks for dropping by 👍
I think oluv realized his misbehaviour and asked alan to delete the comment. I thinks it's better for him since it puts him in a bad light. Even though he said only alan fanboys were commenting, I and most likely he also saw a lot of disappointed oluv fans. I have always liked oluvs reviews, but his childish behaviour by always insulting people in his own videos, and now even a fellow youtuber, doesn't help him. Especially when he is the face of a product he's trying to sell.
I didn't delete that thread, oluv did. He couldn't stand by his own comments. He semi apologised for the silly mommy comment and i said lets agree to leave the thread as it was getting out of hand but i was going to leave the thread. Buy he then deleted it all.
Ive been waiting for a uboom L comparison, great! I like booth speakers somehow. The clarity of the uboom can be cool with some tracks, but little bit more overall would be good too sometimes. The motion+ has more bass, i like this, but it sounds sometimes a little colored.
The second controversial speaker on the Alan Ross Channel !! Seriously, it does not sound tragic for such a price, but if the studio itself did the tuning, I think it would be much cheaper because oluv is master geek 180k subscribers ... I'm waiting for someone to report to you about making a boom boom of the loudspeaker. It would be very interesting.
hey alan, there's un update for the Boombox 2 and they finally added EQ (i think it's like 5.3.0.0) and before updating i wanted to know your opinion; expecially if there's a change in sound 'cause we all know JBL lol
Alan you are spot on. I just bought the uboom... And it's going back... I did try to update but it just froze my pc. The bass wasn't there for me and highs were painfull to my ears. Outdoor mode is better... Indoors. But I'll be trying the motion plus. I think in all fareness he was disappointed .... Not all ears are the same!!! Thank you for your honest review.
I was actually going to buy the uboom just to support Olav (like I’ve done with multiple Earfun products) but after watching his reviews, I’m out. He could’ve done an honest review and said it’s close to Motion + but not as good. He could’ve just said it’s a less expensive option with good sound and nobody would’ve questioned buying the uboom at the cheaper price. Oh well
@@alexandrub2246agree! Oluv is not a nice person. I remember seeing his response to his critics in his comments section and it was unpleasant to see. This is the reason why Ive boycotted Oluv ever since he stopped favoring soundcore motion plus.
I can appreciate the technical side of your reviews as a subscriber but most of the tracks played are the same. Drums, horns, strings and un suppressed vocals are what some of us like.
best way imho to test a speaker is a complex wide range frequency track. i am trying to keep things simple, for most people these tracks will work well its not about if you like the music or not. i know some people would like to hear traditional non electronic instruments but in the real world being able to handle a big complex track will be more telling. The bottom line is the best music to test a speaker with is the music you will be listening to.
Thanks for the great review but you repeat yourself more than I do Amazon with the coupon added from EARFUN you can get the speaker for $56 dollars I did the firmware update because I was curious and it seems to drive the speaker harder maybe over-driven on some music The instructions are not really clear since it was not in english but looking at the photos it was not too bad to follow. HA I had to use a Anker cable because the cable that comes with the Uboom L is only a charge cable and my Anker cable is a true data cable. The Uboom L is a little smaller than my Soundcore Motion+ for travel but I will leave a pair of socks at home and keep traveling with my Motion +
For electronic music with auto tune and similar effects the difference is not too big, a SMP with +6db sounds more impressive. With vocals, blues, soul, funk, classical music, it is noticeable that the Uboom L is one of the few devices that reproduce instruments and voices almost undistorted and cleanly separated. This only works in total with this balanced sound tuning. Setting 80 Hz higher, or 120, 140 whatever, shifts the entire sound image. I commit myself: For serious, critical listening, there is no way around the Uboom L in this size (note the difference in weight to the SMP, for example). And I understand Oluv that he is mightily annoyed: EarFun has not managed to attach the FW correctly. Unfortunately, the L does not sound 100% convincing ex-factory with this overemphasis of the treble. The FW update is inevitable to fully enjoy the effort invested by Oluv. And I deliberately say enjoy: The treble is corrected (tamed), the low frequency slightly fuller, smoother. This difference is certainly noticeable in measurements. Actually, it is an impertinence of EarFun, since the difference between standard and HiFi is in the fine tuning. I do not want to take sides with anyone, nor criticize anyone, but what is right must remain right. Alan I hope EarFun will provide you a second unit that you can sacrifice for a FW update. A comparison would be sensational! I have patched two devices (in TWS really impressive) one after the other, the sonic difference especially with those annoying upper treble is clear. Finally, I think it's a shame that many things are brought to the personal track, so I think it's very good how objective and neutral you have designed this comparison test here. For future videos, I would like to see more demanding music included, even if that might not be easy in terms of licensing. With instruments and familiar voices, you can hear distortions and detail reproduction more clearly. I still prefer the Denon Envaja or the Tribit Mega for some tracks. Mercedes, Porsche, Jeep... ;) depending on the occasion. In terms of authenticity and detail reproduction I see and hear currently with ~650 grams weight no better alternative on the market, provided the "right" FW is on it. (Finally, one must also admit the EQing of the SMP). Congratulations to Oluv, screwed up by EarFun. ☮️
I finally read a comment with more knowledge (for what i see). If the fw update fixes the tunning as you say, i would definetly buy it, despite it doesn't have the best hardware given the size, and the bass doesn't go deep enough. I currently use poweramp with a Motion+ to make it sound better in the bass, upper mids and treble, increasing the separation and details (at least in my ears), and if the Uboom L has that without a 3rd party app, then it is a nice choice (also i'm sorry if i write something weird, still learning english). I am new in this "good sound" thing, but i understand what a "good" tunning is, and enjoy it. I would like to have an EQ in the L if i buy it though, like in the Motion Boom where you can save different ones, because i also enjoy a warmer sound, or more powerfull, depending of the moment.
i did ask for a second unit to update and then compare side by side and then try them in tws. They said they would send me a new unit when they hit in September. 😭 i will of course just update the one i have then but not quite yet, im not here for the flame wars even if i dont shy away from them when they come knocking on my door. However i need my chill time, if i dont enjoy youtube then no point in me being here. i understand the requests for traditional instruments and vocals. My youtube is a reflection of me and im not a purist, you have Oluv for that and i am much more forgivng when it comes to Bluetooth portables, i do not believe you can judge them the same as you would high end audio. so i do understand and appreciate the requests to be a bit more fine tuned in my critique and testing but given how long my videos already are with my current methodology its not a road i want to go down. i believe for the majority of people and the way they will use these speakers my testing covers most bases. we need lots of people testing speakers and giving opinions from different perspectives so we can build a good overview, i am just another voice. 👍
@@Ricky_RSC 100% agree to EQing. Even a Tribit Stormbox Pro what definitely sounds not right out of the box can be corrected by 31 bands oparametric EQ pretty well t oneutral or harman target. Peace.
The new firmware from oluv has more bass, because the final speaker got a better driver. I bricked my second uboom L, but got it back working. I think it was, that I long pressed power button and Bluetooth button again, after the firmware writing began(new firmware of course). So it was possible to Unbrick the speaker. But I’m not completely sure. But it sounds really good now. But still having a hard time against two bose flex. Uboom L has much more punchy bass and it can go lower than the Bose, but still, it’s less bass than the Bose. But really, the upgrade is worth it. And trying out two uboom L in stereo. Really. Oh, I forgot, the highs are better too after the update on the uboom L. Not so harsh.
@@User-bp5wp download the firmware and the multimedia tool. You find the download links in the community tab on oluvs UA-cam channel. Then install the multimedia tool. After that start the tool. The speaker must be powered off. Than keep holding the Bluetooth button and connect it with an data usb cable (not the included one from the speaker!!) to your pc, while keep pressing the Bluetooth button. Now the tool should show your speaker as ready. Load the firmware to the tool, click replace and then on the start button. It then starts to write the new firmware to your speaker. It will need about 30 seconds. At the end it shows finished. That should be it.
i cant disagree but apparently new firmware is better 🤷♀️ i wont be testing it though due to the abuse i received from the first video. Including from Oluv.
@@alanrossreviews Oluv has became so biased to his own product (The UBoom L) that it has made me stop watching him. But you I will always watch because your interesting to watch and most importantly honest!
Its weird the earfun has side radiators but no bass. JBL has bass but everything else sounds muffled/muddy, you probably shouldn't have pushed the bass slider. If i were to choose, i'd go for the motion+ because it has tweeters and neodymium magnets, i have my own taste in EQ
I think the bass is there as demonstrated by outdoor mode but you dont hear it so much due to very boosted highs. The newer firmware is said to improve this.
Very good review. You did the right thing rewieving straight out of the box without updating it. Come on it's 2022 I think that less than 5% of the people buying this is gonna do the update, fiddeling with some files on a PC and not be able to use the cable that comes with the speaker. Even with an app there is loads of people not going to upgrade. But maybe, It's tuned by a geek and made for geeks only. The sound on this is a joke over 60% no chance against Charge 5. Even the Soundcore + is destroying it. I'll pass on this one 🙂
They should have called this hype city? To be fair to earfun they have been open and straight in all my communications. They knew my review would be on old firmware and they said they would still value my feedback
@@alanrossreviews The hype on this is crazy, It's sad that Oluv is throwing away his integrety on this one. I'm sure it is a god speaker for the price, but this suposed to destroy everything in this class. Thanks for your honest review 👍🏻👍🏻
@@jann8490 Yes it's very sad that Oluv is so easily throwing away his integrity and reputation on this product. They must have paid him a very large amount of money for him to do this. It just shows that there's nothing money can't buy these days.
Yeah if they offer to the update through an app and a firmware update that would be much more sensible. I remember I had the W king d-9 and they added a firmware update that involved a manual change. alan tested it, And said the update was basically a lateral move anyways. So I never went through the hassle of doing the manual update
Hi Alan, so today my motion plus 39.39 is offered a new firmware 45.49. Yes it says “fix bugs”. As usual. But I don’t experience any bugs. So I am wondering if you can do a test before and after this update.
Soundcore sounds dull as compared to Earfun 😅 even after having tweeters it lacks refinement 😂 or we can say....The Tuning 😁 but I think Alan thinks upper bass is everything 😂😆
based on? how many videos you watched? given for years ive talked of liking deep bass and not upper bass it sounds like you are simply on a troll fail! which is all good, every comment helps the algorithm 👌
@@alanrossreviews wow.... two masters in two single positions of a same switch!! sounds great (never better said) and It even seems like a good paradox of real life!! :)
Glad to see y’all call on truce there at the end on that thread (we’ll see how it goes from here though. You know Oluv) Was starting to get a little out of hand there, with some of the remarks. Ain’t no need for that, we just here for the love of audio at the end of the day 🤪🤪 I’m gonna always have your back though Alan 😁😁😁 Even if it’s just me against 100 differing opinions 😙😙😙
@@alanrossreviews Absolutely!!! That was uncalled for. Read some of your recent comments as well, thought you had deleted the thread yourself. Not surprised at all, that Oluv couldn’t handle the heat of his own actions.
Too overhyped and not worth it.. ended up returning it even after receiving the "almighty" update. Just went back to the good and trusty Motion+, I'll just keep sticking to that and my M300.
flex is warmer but i havent done a head to head, also flex form factor is very different. i think they are geared to two very different types of listeners. i dont think flex lovers will like the uboom and vice versa.
@@alanrossreviews I think I may get the flex as I do prefer a warmer sound, and have liked Bose tuning in the past (I had a revolve but it broke 😭). Also, I can clip it onto a backpack! Cheers for the response and great video once again!
I am waiting for mine to arrive at 60 usd on sale here in EU it was no brainer. I listen to off axis because it is going to be used on work site and at the same time it needs to be portable enough to fly with, so perfect combination for me.
holy fook i wont name names but certain someones are TRIGGERED 😳😳
@oluv's gadgets lol honestly dude you have great comebacks but i unsubscribed from your channel when i started to see that it became an infomercial for your own line of products. until then, i would advise against personal attacks until your own house is in order.
@oluv's gadgets For no apparent reason when i talked about it in this very video and left a comment on the pinned thread here ua-cam.com/video/_7NOhGtdzy0/v-deo.html telling you BEFORE the video what and why i was doing. You are two faced, a liar and a bully. Do you ever take responsibility for your own actions? Wrong firmware when thats how the speaker is sold, come on, you got yourself involved in a mess and now you want to blame everyone else. If you hadnt started bullying me with your personal attacks and comments on my video the next video would have been the update, and you knew that. You had to delete them though didn't you so nobody could follow the trail.
Comment left by me to Olaf BEFORE i made this video.
"Alan Ross Reviews 4 weeks ago @oluv's gadgets hope to get a video up tomorrow and i really tried to get this right putting aside all thats been said before. I did ask for an updated unit but they are saying the new production wont hit market till probably September. as i dont like recommending people update their units unless they have a compelling reason due to risk of bricking the speaker i am reviewing with your older firmware. I will give the new firmware a go once the review is out to see the difference. I have made it clear in the video my testing is with old firmware and you recommend the newer firmware. i will include a link to new firmware with video. I did ask earfun about how representative the older firmware is and they insist the difference is small, actually quoting a 3% difference 🤷♂ You might not like what I say but its simply my honest opinion and i know our tastes and ears are not quite in sync 🤗 I do think its a great speaker for the money they are asking, about $70, im just not as enthusiastic as you compared to more expensive options. I will ask for a second unit i think also as per your suggestion for a stereo test and also to check the differences between two.
Oh i should also add i used three different eqs for the three different volumes i compared the Uboom vs the M+ at. That was just to be as fair as possible to both speakers.
Also something to put into the mix is that uses aac even on android. This will also make it a bit more unpredictable on android. I dont touch apple so my testing was all done on android. Are you aware of any android vs apple differences?"
@@alanrossreviews yeah I just updated my UBOOM L. I gotta say the speaker does sound better but the process of updating it wasn’t very intuitive. It sounds good though. Totally worth the 70 bucks
Alan, maybe you could try to put aside all of personal attacks from the past and do the review with the new firmware. It will be interesting to hear your opinion on it.
@@danielnagy78 maybe your first comment shouldn't have been "in order for the review to be more honest" if you want to make requests on my channel.
I've been watching oluv since he first started UA-cam. Him and you are the only 2 I watch for BT speakers anymore. You guys give the best and most thorough reviews. 👍
You bet sir
I've bought 2 products Oluv promoted on this channel... both are major disappointments... he bashes products that are loved by other reviews while promoting and pushing his own "tuned" items... starting to wonder if his ears are just better than everyone else's... or if he just makes it all up. Love my Soundcore products personally... all I even need.
@@pesto12601 To each their own I guess.
I bought the Soundcore Motion+ actually by listening it from Oluv's first and then Alan's for the EQ. Has been my go to portable speaker until now.
Both reviewers have their own things that I dislike but, their review is detailed so I don't really care.
Oluv is not a reviewer anymore he is just doing sponsers n all(sales man)
I have myself listened to motion plus, charge 5 and uboom side by side.....but genuinely I will say best value will definitely be the soundcore motion Plus ❤Charg 5 also does sound great in my opinion
But the uboom is just too much of highs which sounds unrealistic to be very honest
And the lack of bass definitely makes it sound way more thinner and sharper to an extent where for long periods u can't listen to it ❤ its not at all a hifi sounding speaker
Oluv is just saying rubbish....
the uboom with oluv tuning is very neutral................according to guys who dont like too much bass and like pushed highs 😁 im not knocking the uboom l, it has a place in its sector, around £60. But the myth that it is a neutral speaker is craziness beyond belief, i even hear people claiming it is monitor like. it just shows how easy it is to fool people if you tell them enough times it is flat and neutral that they will believe it despite all the measurements showing it isnt.
@@alanrossreviews i myself have studio monitors in my studio setup 😂and i know it very well what neutral, flat sound is like ......but to be very honest most of the audience who just now a days wants a flat sounding speaker for music listening.... is basically just a trend going on. They just love the idea of having a so called studio monitor like Bluetooth speaker 😂 because....the truth is Maximum of the people will not enjoy a flat sound signature for long time listening periods .....and that's why different brands have their different sound signature
I really prefer a warm yet clear sound signature over a flat one for enjoy music for a long period
And a speaker with slightly warm sound signature can be definitely tuned in a way where the sound is very clear with all the frequency audible
Its just a matter of taste
Only having a flat sounding speaker doesn't mean it will be the most enjoyable one
So definitely clarity, instrument seperation details in music can also be easily heard in a slightly warm sound signature speaker without being muffled
I think HK GO PLAY 3 IS an amazing indoor speaker but yes if the room in which the speaker is used is a small one then it may sound muffled sometimes....
But in a medium to large size room it just sounds very smooth to ears🤍
@@bisheswarsaha5605 you hit the nail on the head, flat does not mean enjoyable. even flat monitors need to be sized for distance from wall, distance from listener etc. this is idea flat means flat end of is such a fable that ive given up trying to point out the fallacy of flat and what that even means. i only point out the uboom l because it is the reddit favourite which they call flat and a simple measurement can demonstrate otherwise 😲😲 the craziness of the audio world 😁😁
@@alanrossreviews so true sir
I have been watching ur videos from a long....and im also a sound enthusiast i love speakers....used a lot of Bluetooth as well as other speakers too....and i really love ur reviews...they are just on point ...keep going love ur work
Hi Alan
Thank you for being so tollerant, realistic and honest. I have followed you both and I think you are the most reliable audio gadgets reviewers on the net. As always Oluv has done an excellent job here EQ-ing level by level. The problem is that the electronics (amplifier inside) is having trouble pushing the power for the bass punches. The higher level you set, the more is the whole audio dropping/sinking at the moments of bass punches. So you get the bass boost on frequency response graph, but it is only relative to the rest (mids & highs). In fact the real life listener experiences something like hiccups (power drops) instead of full scale punches. This is significant on high levels (70%-80%+). I have noticed several readers on his video sharing similar observations. Not sure if this is really a lack of power or an unwanted negative feedback on the amp.
Obviously Earfun have attempted to address this by a firmware fix. Anyway it is a hardware limitation that is preventing the speaker from unfolding it's full potential at higher levels.
All in all the speaker is really good but not perfect. No one is to be blamed maybe except for the electronic engineers at Earfun :)
This launch reminds me of the motion boom plus launch, disaster
Yeah, that's called compression. Many speakers do that when you get near 100% to varying degrees. It's like 2000s electronic music lol.
@@0525ohhwell yes sounds exactly like a strong ALC compression.
I bought it on the promotion thing, to mainly use as an outdoor speaker. Wouldn't even connect to my computer. It's going back.
I unsubscribed Oluvs channel. Looks like he gets paid by earfun to advertise their products. Imho the recent videos are not neutral anymore, but biased. Shame.
Please dont do similar things to us, Alan! Please keep up your awesome unbiased and critial reviews!
im too small for anyone to care about, yes Oluv finally took the money. He gets $3 per speaker sold, not sure how the returns factor in. Its not a bad speaker at all and good value for money but the hype he gave it saying everything under $200 is now obsolete is simply stupid 🙈
That’s the fair review we’ve been waiting for! Yes. It’s somehow a good speaker, at least against the JBL and Anker. But it just lacks of the bass, doesn’t it? With a richer bass, it would be actually a nice speaker 🤔.
Well lol, I guess, that’s actually basically what you said in your review 😅🙈 but yeah, that’s how it is.
Like everything is fine, just the way oluv is replying and answering is so wrong. If he would stay „professional“ everything would be fine somehow 🙈
i will let the speaker speak for itself 😛 i do what i do, im not here to make a living so i can understand why some people act they way they do 👍
well i guess its a british! austria thing? they are different accents...........
@@jeffmccrady9456 Austria speaks a complete different language. (German)
By the way, I am from germany.
Really well made video Alan, congrats 👏🏼 appreciate all the effort you put into your comparisons
thank you 😁
Now, all i wanted to see is how it compares to the latest fw. Then i can make a decision whether to buy or not. Thank you so much Alan for this review! Right now it's a no go for me, I find the bass and fullness bit lacking for my test. In this video, I totally agree to your conclusion.
that test to come........
You really need to test the final firmware because it is much better.
less treble and more bass resulting in a warmer sound.
Thanks for keeping my expectations in check! Was about to blind buy this even though I already have the Soundcore Motion+ and the Maxsound Plus. However, I do listen almost always on axis and did find the UBoom L sharp sounding. Will hold off until confirmation that the update really makes a big difference
It will come but im not in a hurry to go through the trolling again 😢
@@alanrossreviews Take your time with it! Appreciate all the work you do
@@alanrossreviews time for round two ?!?🤣
@@alanrossreviews dont be a baby, this is why we come ;P
How do you feel about the maxsound plus compared to the motion +, ide like to hear 2 maxsound plus, wondering if theyde be more hifi sounding than the motion+, that earfun kind of strikes me as harsh sounding in the highs
i have the bogasing s8 pro and the earfun uboom l.the bogasing is much better in sound and bass they are hifi sounding clear crystal treble and good low punchy bass . it is built premium with 1 kg of weight. sorry earfun but the bogasing is way better which have 2 tweeters 10w each and 2 speakers which are 20w each
Guys, you both share the passion for the sound, wth!!just stop this nonsense battle of who is better :))) and let's try to focus on how to provide better reviews for us, for the viewers, that's why you both are here!!
Im trying to do just that, trust me this negativity is taking away some of the enjoyment for me.
My Uboom L should be arriving today. This review and Oluv's comments got me really, what's the proper word, worried.
So you promote a speaker with a tuning that is supposed to sound fantastic. Release date X so people get all excited. Then people start leaving their email addresses behind for a voucher.
Now comes the part that worries me the most. Oluv/Olaf saying that the drivers changed. So actually everyone bought a different speaker than what was shown in the videos. Imagine if this was a car tuned by a famous company, you ordered it and when you pick it up at the garage they say that the engine is different than what the tuner showed you.
yup, but look at it from earfuns side, can you imagine what it must be like working with him?? 😂
@@alanrossreviews The only reply I ever got from him I believe was that I was deaf. Well I guess he must have had received the same product with a newer updated driver. LOL
Well yes eventually the headphones died and I ordered another one of the same from another seller ... and it sounded really bad. Just shows that consistancy, or even fake ones (especially earphones), are a serious issue.
Earfun are risk a lot with him especially after the last year Fu...ups with original Free Pro Olav edition.
He claimed they are as good as Sennheiser 600 but after sales ended he said that he make a mistake.. forget clean his ears so now he will offer a better EQ, a really really amazing one but only for patrons..... without a new EQ, without paying him monthly... you will end up with dull and muffled sounding earphones.
yeah that was a great one, i like to remind him about that. he got his ears cleaned and then realised his whole referenced chain was referenced to ear wax lol
remember to update firmware, this review is on old firmware which is not even close to how this speaker sounds on new one
Motion+ sounds better to my ears it's got a warmer, fuller sound with better dispersion and of course more deep bass. UBoom L is more flat but also bright because of that high end lift and it adds clarity to the presence region but at the cost of a warmer sound.
It seems there still isnt a perfect speaker 😱
@@alanrossreviews for a speaker motion Boom is still better only because it has that low end deep bass as you call
Motion plus is only good for home listening or listening to all genres of songs
Great review! It’s too bad you and Oluv got into that argument yesterday.. I just started reading it and then poof it was gone. I just find it weird that oluv used to praise the motion plus and now it’s “unlistenable” he’s also said that about a few other speakers since the earfun L. I know he tuned it and everything but you can’t just discredit other speakers you used to praise. Maybe he was just upset that the newer earfuns with the update aren’t out yet and the consistency of how all the speakers sounds are different. Can’t wait to hear what it sounds like after the update! Hope you two can work things out.
it wasnt an argument, im happy to engage heated reasoned debate but oluv can only hurl childish insults. a seemingly intelligent guy who writes in english as a person with a good level of literacy and yet simply cannot engage in meaningful discussion. it didnt start yesterday btw, there is a long history. Will do the update but not for a while, time to chill 🤗
I was researching the tribit maxsound plus a few weeks back and came across Alan's older videos on it. Also checked out Olav's ones from a few years back, and both praised it highly.
A
Alan has kept it consistent but Olav in his recent video, was comparing it with the Uboom L and slating the Tribit Maxsound, and part of me was jokingly thinking, wow his really invested in the earfun, then I read his other touchy comments and find out he has some deal with them. A real shame.
I don't know if people are experiencing the same but this speaker isn't great sounding with stock and after firmware update on certain tracks around 60% and above. I have lots of weird artifacts on certain tracks where the speaker just can't handle bass and clarity, which becomes a mess. Playing on an EQ lowering bass really helps but it just sounds tiny sometimes, this is really a "good" speaker but not the hype everyone is talking about. Considering buying a Anker motion+ and returning it
yup, worth the money but over hyped! pretty much what i have been telling everyone. 👍
The motion Plus seems to be a better performing and overall more rounded speaker. It has better (more pronounced) midrange and vocals, and not overly exaggerated highs. The Boom L can get tired listening after longer sessions to due to the exaggerated highs, lots of hissing sound at the high frequencies. If you do a quick AB test the Boom L can sound better to most people right away due to the brighter sound and highs. But the Boom seems to have better and more neutral tonality than the Motion, the Motion sounds colored and just different. If you want a step up in sound quality to both speakers that is more musical, clean, accurate, and better battery life (but don't mind sacrificing some portability)...go for the Audio Pro T3+
Awesome review as always Alan. I just recently got into bluetooth speakers and found your channel. Hope you continue releasing these unbiased reviews!
Hey guys I like both Alan and Oluv’s channels .. they helped me to find the right speaker ! They have different approaches but sometimes Oluv’s answers are a little aggressive it’s true. I loved his comparison tool very well done (disappeared?). So continue my friends and forget it 😉
Well said! 😝
Here comes it 😂
💪🤭
I'm three minutes in and I can tell that you are fair and respectful of the UBoom L being tuned by Oluv. I like his Soundcore Q30 EQ which made me interested in neutral tuning.
thanks for that. i certainly try and keep everything as objective a possible while still giving my personal honest opinion.
Problem is that in this vid Earfun isn't tuned by Oluv for this speaker because it wasn't updated...
I agree about q30, good headphones 🎧
Both sounds fantastic , motion+ has the bass and warmer sound, uboom L has that clarity, it depends to our taste now and luckily i have motion+ and my uboom L coming in 1 week lol gonna compare it by myself and I think that’s the best way to judge it, goodwork alan thanks for this review🤘
exactly in person with your music and devices, thats the way to really get to know a speaker.... 👍
he needs to flash the new firmware for it to kill the motion+
@@cuerex8580 You cant kill the SMP in terms of punch with this difference in weight. But in terms of bass quality and overall sound quality the L beats all my devices in this "class" - Tribit Mega and Stormbox (even the Pro), Denon Envaya 250, Sony XB30, Vifa Reykjavik, Audio Pro P5, 1More, Earfun Uboom (360) and also the SMP. The only thing I could imagine it would be a close race with the Flip 6 but I don't want to buy it just for personal comparison at it's price point. Two L in TWS with updated FW is clearly the most HiFi-Experience for me so far. Awesome.
@@AMIGA79 I'm getting my second one tomorrow. For $120 for tws I can't think of anything that can top these with the firmware update.
@@alexlittig7927 am curious about your opinion! either way I wish you a lot of fun, I bet you will have.
Honestly, there's only so much tuning you can do with these piddly little speakers and even piddlier amps built in lol
yup! people need to be realistic about what this speaker will deliver.
One of the best performance of yours, thank you.
This speaker is definitely the average, not special at all...
id say it was more of a niche speaker but not something i would use as a go to 😛 but im waiting on the BUT YOU USED OLD FIRMARE mob 🤭 but this is how the speaker is sold and updating is no straight forward task so for first video i think this was fair.
@@alanrossreviews hahahaha, soooo Right 👍👍👍👍👍
I have the uboom L and after updating the speaker it's night and day. myearfun updated the drivers last minute. It can do deeper bass. But he's firmware was for the old drivers. So he had to frantically come out with a better frimware. Bass improves dramatically and the treble is slightly pulled back. I love this speaker.
I am curious how much that new firmware for the Uboom L changes things. Did I understand correctly that there will be app support from Earfun at some point as well? Thank you once again for your extensive testing and comparisons, Alan! 😁👍👏
i believe so but i need to check that, sometimes these things pop in my head from nowhere as im always getting people tell me this that or the other 😝
Tribit also gives you the option for app support for the Stormbox Mega but not at release but via FW update. I don't know what's the f...ing problem to finish any product before release in this times . 🤷🏻♂️
That earfun definitely sounds cleaner but lacks low end punch
Motion plus has EQ you can make it clearer but it also lacked low end "deeper bass" compared motion boom
Motion plus sounds better at 100%
Doesn't matter they are all great speakers anyways I'd personally choose motion plus
Everyone's taste is different
I like boosted low end with cleaner mids and treble
I see you liking the richer sounds with smoother response
yup we all have different rooms, different ears and different tastes, thats why this is just my opinion, not me saying which is better or worse. 👍
@@alanrossreviews I didn't said anything sounded worse
I would like to have motion plus as a every day speaker
Motion boom for party and enjoying edm music
Earfun Uboom L for Listening to country and classical songs
But Motion plus is a overall package
Only because it has tweeter it can definitely sound much better Uboom L with the EQ I like
i love country, i need something warmer for country, modern country or classic country?
@@alanrossreviews motion plus is like everyday speaker
i like my country lush and warm......
The Earfun sounds really open Sounds great. Think it sounds better than charge 5 and the boost. But yea a bit more Bass was sweet
Liked the earfun after watching on alot of reviews , I bought it and think it's great. Clear sound, good fast punch. I have alot of speakers and this is the best performance v value of them all. 👏 . My son has a motion + but it's a bit muddled low down for me. He is very young and likes the boomy sound.
I got two Earfun UBoom L today, made firmware update for one of them only and compared it to other. I have to say it's like day and night difference in sound, it's fantastic after the update. I think you should make another review with the update to be fair.
To be fair? 🤔 I am one guy, why am i the focus of the uboom? I did a review the fairest way i could. Its not my fault oluv has got himself wrapped up in this launch fiasco. I would have made the firmware update next video if oluv hadn't attacked my whole setup in the comments and then extended it to personal attacks. I will lose my integrity for no man. Everytime i get a not fair comment i will delay that video by one week. If you think it wasn't fair do your own video. I yield to no man 🍌
@@alanrossreviews No excuse for his behavior, that isn’t doing him any favors, but continuing this isn’t going to make it any better. You gave your honest opinion without the latest firmware. I respect that, but consider doing it with the latest firmware. I believe it sounds better with it, but your review may not agree and that’s fine. You strike me as being a good person and your restraint here when under the unnecessary drama proves that. As a matter of fact, if anything, your integrity shines through. Just take the high road and continue doing informative videos. Some folks will never take that path, but that really says more about them than you. Have a great day, Alan and keep on keeping on! 👍🏼
@@alanrossreviews By this logic, any speaker with an app, that has the option of updating firmware etc, you would selectively NOT do it? That is definitely not fair. Love your channel, but come on man, mistakes get made. Equal is equal, this particular review, is not.
@@MilGrip76 so by your logic, he is obligated to make a new video every time a company releases a firmware update or else he is unfair?
@@roffoc6458 wrong conclusion, but guess what, he already does 😶, how many "firmware" videos does his channel have? venture to say, more than most.
I'd still really like to see how it measures with the updated firmware. As much as the drama has influenced the aura of this speaker
yes it will happen, but not right now.... when i have my mojo back because the shitstorm around this speaker is sending me crazy... 😲
@@alanrossreviews you may not be interested, but would you update the one you have instead of waiting till September? Earfun may not have taken oluv seriously over time and downplayed the update I wonder? They might not have liked reading these comments or watching his videos or his dealing with his perfectionist methods, maybe things went sour. But a 3% change I kind of doubt. If we look at how most Chinese or even American speakers are tuned / upgraded annually, do we really trust their sound engineers words on sound improvements? I don't think so. But I understand if not interested. After all this your just the only voice I trust other than his, personalities aside. I prefer your personal sound signature btw. And the updates he made I believe we're to tone down the treble and have better bass output. So the 2 main criticisms. Probably still not perfect, little too much treble on the outdoor mode which I would probably want to listen to most of the time.
Well done Alan, I was really looking forward to this one and I wasn't dissapointed. At least not by the review, can't say the same about the speaker. Looking forward to your comparison of the old and the new firmware, also vs the still excellent Maxsound Plus! Cheers mate!!😉
i i guess that should be next but honestly i just wanna move on and try other speakers.
@@alanrossreviews I believe you mate and its easy for me to say, but try not to take to heart all of negativity that has happened, because if you could just take away Oluvs temper tantrum and his childish insults, this was a big deal for all of us bt speaker enhusiasts, I can't remember being this excited, to watch your take on a speaker and if anything you did it justice. Much love Alan!
Bought 2 of the older uboom speakes a few years ago (on rec of Oluv), had connection and latency issues, returned them. from your review still issues if you want to use these for video . Hard finding reasonable priced speaker that's not tuned for pounding bass. Great review thanks.
Maxsound plus is still the one for a pure sound and cheap price. or even stockwell 2.
Great review, as always, Alan! I returned mine. I'd bought it hoping it could replace my Motion+ (mainly used as desktop speaker due to low latency and aux-in) and Soundcore Boost (travel speaker), but it can't do either as well as those. It sounds (and looks) worse than the Motion+ and is way bigger than the Boost - weighed in around 750g, not the 650g stated, and is far bulkier - I'd rather take the Motion+ or Stockwell 2 if I have that much room in my luggage! Also, the update situation is ridiculous. I did it, but what a faff, and an absolute joke that they don't supply the right cable. But despite all of that, and Oluv's disgraceful behaviour on here, I'd have kept it if it sounded great, but it's nothing special. Ok around 50-60% volume, but outside of that range, nah, not for me. And no ability to eq it, you just have the normal mode which is subdued, and the outdoor mode which is overblown - the highs, in particular, ruin it. The little Soundcore Boost, whilst far from perfect, always puts a smile on my face due to its bass response. I don't choose a travel speaker for it's neutrality (not that the Uboom L even sounds neutral) if I did I'd bring the Maxsound+, I want something that punches above its weight and sounds fun. If I want a bigger sound than that I have the Motion+ or Boom, if I want a more neutral response I have the Stockwell 2. Perhaps if you had no other Bluetooth speaker you could make a decent case for this at the £50-70 mark, but all of Oluv's fanboys lapping this up are a joke - if ever there was a case of Emperor's new clothes...
the reason to buy this speaker is because you want something costing around £60, then its a reasonable option. But yeah something like the stockwell is a different league. The problem for this speaker is not the sound its the hype. Apparently being returned in droves. Hype is good, over hype is a killer. Mine weighs in at 730g, i wonder if there are different versions of this speaker knocking around.
Uboom L sounds like somebody putting sand in my ears.... Soundcore motion + sounds more reacher/full and balanced, and a more bass - make it sound like bigger speaker!!!
its bright, no doubt, too bright for me. im being told new firmware tames that treble. should it be sold needing a manual firmware to tame??
Nice review. Another decent speaker! Looks like Oluv did a good job with the tuning. Personally to I'll still lean a bit more towards Soundcore, more specifically it's EQ app. I'm so reliant on that thing it's frustrating.
I am waiting for Oluvs reply on this vid.......let me guess.... I don't give a fuck lol let me swim in my pool lol
ha! its gonna be interesting... 🤭

yup its official 😝

Hi Alan, did you update the fw? It appears that there was a problem with fw on production units and Oluv provided the new fw and tools to update it
no thats not accurate and i addressed this in the video. as far as earfun are concerned the difference between old and new firmware is minimal. There was no problem as such, just Oluv tuned a single unit and the normal speaker variance he decided was too much and he wanted to retune it. i made it clear in the video i am using old firmware because that is how earfun are selling it and any firmware update carries a risk of bricking the speaker. new firmware will be stock around september only because so many people asked for it after Oluv said it required the new firmware to sound good. My impression is that earfun would have been happy with the old firmware. i am going to try and geta second unit and update that one and then compare.
Kind of underwhelming considering the "beef" that raised expectations for it.😄 Yep, it's a niche product better suited for certain genres/musical preferences. The practical choice (esp for the budget-conscious music fan who listens to multiple genres) should still be the tried and tested all-rounder that provides clarity, has a fuller sound, and comes with adjustable EQ.
Great, informative, critical, and fair review, as always.
cheers 😁💪
Motion Boom Plus : My firmware has a somewhat harsh treble response.
Uboom L : Hold my beer...
maybe that should be my next comparison? 😝

Just stumbled across your channel! Great review! That's what I thought 🤔 ... Can you PLEASE Please pretty please! try a comparison with the updated Version from his patreon (dont have to become one)? Would be interesting to see what changed and if it's better. I've read on a lot of places that at first they thought it was kinda meh, but after the update it was actually very good for it's size. Read somewhere that the update works better with windows 10 and win11 might get stuck somehow. I'll test it when I get mine in a couple days
5:20 he didn't update it which is the worst thing he could have done to review this speaker. stock it sounds aweful. it is handy to have laptop lying around to do the update. desktop pc didn't work for me
where is your evidence that the difference is night and day, stop spamming my comments section. Earfun themselves insist the difference is minimal, early reports that i have had all say the difference is small, provide your evince for claiming its night and day. again this is the speaker as sold, you should take this up with earfun if they didnt get it right., I am not going to recommend people update their speaker this way since all the evidence i have does not justify the cost benefit ratio.
something nobody is talking about but i mentioned in the video and still nobody has gotten their heads around..this speaker uses aac on android. this alone is going to give hit and miss results. i will do a comparison of old and new when i have recovered from the nonsense that has gone on around this review. 🙈 thanks for watching though and normally we dont have to deal with such controversy, this speaker release has been a nightmare for earfun. i would love to know how many get returned because they were bricked during update.
@@alanrossreviews haha earfun is probably having lots of fun, you're right. but maybe this will spark new ideas on how to create signature eq sound and make it more accessible. on studio monitors you can make measurements to calibrate the sound on the go
@@alanrossreviews yeah the release is a pure shitshow. But to be fair to Oluv it's due to earfun... He released a video a week ago where he explained that he tuned it and then they send him a new version which had to be tweaked again by him, but the release was too close and the release was on a previous unit, as I understood. I read on some random apps, like for example a deals app, where there was quite a discussion about it. People admitted it sounded underwhelming but update did quite a lot for the sound. I will get mine on friday and compare it to JBL charge 5 and Soundcore motion Boom with different EQs. Might come back and give my opinion. Thanks again! 👍 Great review!
Also would be interesting for the fun of it if you can get an iphone and compare sound from Android to iPhone lol
Thanks Alan for very fair review.
Earfun is ruined by Olaf oveboosted ego.
This is what I'm hearing in this speaker.
Interesting is why Olaf said that the company's like Earfun don't care about the sound quality, they just wanna sell the product so... why did they hire him in the first place?
I will stay with my motion plus which I can EQ to my liking.
Oluv is a pompous jerk
It's frustrating because I would like to try out Earfun products but I'm just soured on the brand because if the affiliation with Oluv. It's plausible I would like his tuning but when hes telling everybody else that their products are trash and his is the only good one on the market, I just can't help but roll my eyes.

The UBOOM sounds better in outdoor mode at low volumes, at least through my headphones. Indoor sounds far too bright for my tastes and gets worse as volume increases. Each track with a kick drum make it very very obvious. It just doesn't thump with the UBOOM. The motion plus maintains the low end better as volume increases and pulls ahead for me. I'd go for the motion plus as it's so close at low volumes, but really pulls ahead the louder you push the two. But why buy the motion plus when you can get the boom for the same price today, unless space is the biggest consideration?
yes but the motion boom is a different beast in type of sound and size. of course for that money if i could only get one speaker it would be motion boom.
What speaker in (maximum) motion plus size is the best ? Charge 5, xsoundmega, motionplus ?
@@alanrossreviews I have to respectfully disagree, for me the UBOOM L sounds better, sorry i know you are the expert but i enjoy listening to my 2 / UBOOM L in my office (with outdoor mode on) in low volume way more than the motion plus .

no surprise there, you are the one that said i know nothing because you didnt like my motion plus eq and thumbed all my videos down. Its called childish behaviour but go ahead if you find it satisfying. but thanks for commenting, it helps the algorithm.
Oluv is a weirdo who can’t seem to get around the fact that music taste and what people deem necessary / most important in a BT speaker is subjective to said individual. Typical ‘audiophile’ who thinks his ears are superior to us mere mortals or “kiddies” and always comes off very condescending & rude in comments.
You’re a much nicer bloke with excellent reviews mate. 👍🏼
😛 thanks for that. yeah it always makes me laugh when someone declares themselves an audiophile while listening to these little budget low end codec portables 🤣
Thanks for reviewing this device. Also can you compare it with the tribit xsound maga. And the tribit maxsound plus
right now im not sure if i ever want to touch that speaker again 😭
Lol is the oluv's gadgets eq tuning really that bad. No wonder he's afraid to take tribit Sound tuning on with his sound tuning. 😅
I still don't understand all the fuzz is about this UBOOM, Motion+ sounds more complete with a great EQ App.
For a more neutral sound I have the Maxsound Plus🤷♂️

no such thing as overkill, whatever makes you smile is worth it 😁

@@alanrossreviews Someone’s going to be smiling all the way to the poor house 😂
I’d like to understand why many in the comments are talking trash about oluv and the uboom, since Alan’s judgment is overall positive. You see, that’s the problem. This childish attitude just lead to nonsense conversations about sound quality.
The fact that you can get the speaker for this cheap and you can make it better (or fix it in some cases) by udpating the firmware on your own doesn’t seem to me a reason to criticize the product. I personally don’t like the soundcore motion + because of its boomy and not refined sound, so this speaker seems a good alternative for a cheaper price.
Peace ✌🏻
I think they are commenting with in mind oluvs trolling in the comments till he deleted them all. So you see while you dont understand why people are negative on this speaker since the review was positive it was oluv himself who started complaining about the video and quickly descended into personal jabs and yet as you say, it wasn't even a negative review.
As far as Oluv goes, the reason people are talking trash about him, is because he left some disrespectful insults towards Alan, and was being egotistical in a thread that is now deleted (per himself of course) Most people ain’t gonna take to kind to that.
As for the UBoom, most of the comments ain’t been straight up trashing it (maybe 2-3 at the most) the general consensus is that it’s a decent speaker worthy of its price, it’s just by hyped up like it’s the holy grail when it’s not. One of the best for its price, but nothing revolutionary.
Hello Alan. Have you already tested the new update to firmware 0.40 on the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom? Do you think it's safe to do this? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Ok .. In the end I took advantage of the price discount and bought 2x Earfun Uboom L speakers. I did a quick test before firmware upgrade and was not impressed, but OMG..., after upgrading both and listening to them connected, I'm speechless. I mean, for the price, to get that sound quality!? They're worth more than £70 each, and I still got them for £50 each. They sound amazing for the size and price. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I highly recommend purchasing 2 speakers and update them with the tools provided in the description. (The way I updated them is: I downloaded both the software and the firmware file, opened the software, then connected the speaker to the PC in power off mode , using another cable, from the motion plus speaker, while holding the Bluetooth button pressed, then I followed the commands required by the software. It took a few seconds to update. I kept pressing the Bluetooth button all this time.)
good to know you got your moneys worth 👍
@@alanrossreviews Cheers, mate. No offense the speakers are awesome with latest firmware .
no offence, all opinions welcome, at some point i will update but not for a while, Oluv pissed me off too much.
Great "Neutral" review as always Alan👏 even tho neither of these speakers are my cup of tea I perfer the Motion boom plus since I can tune this speaker to my liking with a more dynamic listening experience. The Earfun U Boom L on the other hand sounds pretty good at 70% as a all around listening experience but the bass is simply not there for my personal taste
Not on these drivers and this firmware at least, what a mess earfun find themselves in. Using aac on android isnt helping either
updated firmware changes the sound 180° in the right direction at all volume levels
@@alanrossreviews Hi Allan i like so much your videos, I would like to ask you a question, do You know edifeir speaks, if u know what your opinion about they speaks?
@@cuerex8580 right, and this review is not based on that firmware. So we will have to wait for an update which won't come until September draws near.
The U boom L doesn't really have any deep bass and from listening to olve's review at max volume there is this ear piercing hissing from the highs as which normally means the highs are uncontrollable., overall i would choose the charge 5 and i also wonder how the flip 6 sounds because I might upgrade by xb23 to the xb33 which I hope I get before they discontinue them or upgrade to the flip 6 sense the charge 5 is exspensive.
Alan I love your reviews thank you. If you had £100 right now what speaker would you buy. I’m out to buy one in the next day or so with Prime day going. Cheers mate.
only one speaker then for me it must be motion boom. others prefer the mifa wildbox but they represent some of the best value around.

im on a long break at the moment and anything involving the uboom hell is way down my list to be honest. entirely due to oluvs attack on me and followed by his fanboys.
@@alanrossreviews Too bad but I totaly understand. Take care and once again thanks gor your work!
The freq response for indoor mode seems perfect around 40%. Anything above that the treble takes over way too much. I’m curious how you guys listen to your speaker. I find where you place the speaker makes so much of a difference it could be hard to tune. Anything places near a wall the bass seems to crank x2, especially indoors.
Also indoors most people will probably won’t go over 60% volume whereas it’s the opposite outdoors.
placement is everything, you can add up to 6db of bass with corner placement.
Btw I really like you as a person as far as I can tell, your channel content, how you handle your community and your community in general.

Personally, I don't like the Motion+. It's very directional and the battery is trash.
i actually find it great for dispersion. battery seems hit and miss.
The first I ever heard someone saying the Motion+ was directional.
Almost everyone else said off-axis listening was pretty good.

Earfun uboom L with the new firmware looks more detailed but with less bass and treble ... am I wrong? However a great speaker and I would like to understand with 2 ubooms it is worth it compared to speakers under 150 dollars ...
not tried the new firmware and i dont think i ever will. having been the target of personal attacks from oluv and his crew for not updating in my first video he can go f*(k himself now, i wont be helping him sell this speaker anytime soon.
51 min...wow, that's the 'Lawrence of Arabia' of your reviews, Alan 👏👏👏, great job! As for the uboom - sounds a bit too harsh for my ear, not enough bass. I prefer the Charge 5 from the 4 speakers you have tested. Will stick now with the Flex, though I was disappointed to see it spontaneously disconnected twice in the last days. Never happened to me with flip 3 and charge 3.
51 mins...AFTER editing 😂
Charge 5 still king lmao
oh yeah certainly my choice of the speakers on the table.
In fact, as you said, you can use a 3rd party app eq to bring those highs down in the Earfun, in outdoors mode that would be great considering how well tunned the bass is in that eq mode.
The thing is, if we are talking about using an external eq app, it can be also aplied to the Motion+, to tune the bass, making it deeper and less boomy, with an overall better curve in the bass frecuencies, which i do with mine. With that, i think there is no point in buying the Earfun if you already have a M+, at least imo.
A thing a really like about the UBoom L though, is how the sound is addapting to the different volume levels, those drivers are getting the best(?) sound they can without distorting, i'd love other brands could do that too.
Thanks for the, as always, high quality content 💯🔥
thanks for watching 👌
What’s the external EQ app that you use?
@@MrAlex-lk8zn Poweramp Equalizer, 31 bands
@@Ricky_RSC is that for Android only?
@@MrAlex-lk8zn yup i think it is, i haven't tried it on other devices though, only my Android phone, and i paid for it (like $4)
I was thinking of tunning a speaker but now I'll skip this failure 😂 it just a 30$speaker with 30-40$ Paid to geek tuning;)
I'd like to tune a over ear headphones to actual level of speakers
My neighbours hate loud speakers 😂 I'm banned 🚫
😝 people will make their judgements...this was mine...... 🥳 for me it sounds like a niche $70 speaker, its not tuned for mass market thats for sure. 🤗 expectations were set very high, that may be its biggest issue, thanks for dropping by 👍

lmfao!! again!!

WHAT HAPPENED TO OLUV COMMENT😭 AHHH THE COMMENTS WERE JUST GETTING INTERESTING ☠️
I think oluv realized his misbehaviour and asked alan to delete the comment. I thinks it's better for him since it puts him in a bad light. Even though he said only alan fanboys were commenting, I and most likely he also saw a lot of disappointed oluv fans. I have always liked oluvs reviews, but his childish behaviour by always insulting people in his own videos, and now even a fellow youtuber, doesn't help him. Especially when he is the face of a product he's trying to sell.
Haha oh man what childish shit is happening here. We should all just make peace
I don't think he asked him but rather delete the comment himself because he was getting too much backlash from it
Lol bro you should have been here earlier 😂
I didn't delete that thread, oluv did. He couldn't stand by his own comments. He semi apologised for the silly mommy comment and i said lets agree to leave the thread as it was getting out of hand but i was going to leave the thread. Buy he then deleted it all.
While the soundcore motion+ has a microphone, it's not usable. Try recording something, you have to literally yell into the speaker.
Ive been waiting for a uboom L comparison, great! I like booth speakers somehow. The clarity of the uboom can be cool with some tracks, but little bit more overall would be good too sometimes. The motion+ has more bass, i like this, but it sounds sometimes a little colored.
yup! neither are awful and neither is perfect. im just tellin it like i hear it. 🤗
The second controversial speaker on the Alan Ross Channel !! Seriously, it does not sound tragic for such a price, but if the studio itself did the tuning, I think it would be much cheaper because oluv is master geek 180k subscribers ... I'm waiting for someone to report to you about making a boom boom of the loudspeaker. It would be very interesting.
no not tragic, it is what it says on the box, a £70/$80 speaker but also for a certain niche, im not sure how much of a crowd pleaser this will be.
@@alanrossreviews The biggest drawback of this speaker is its lazy bass ✌✌
natural bass apparently? 🤷♂️
@@alanrossreviews yep lmao
lmfao!!
hey alan, there's un update for the Boombox 2 and they finally added EQ (i think it's like 5.3.0.0) and before updating i wanted to know your opinion; expecially if there's a change in sound 'cause we all know JBL lol
need to give me time to get to it......ive decided to get back to my life for a little while... 😁..
Alan you are spot on. I just bought the uboom... And it's going back... I did try to update but it just froze my pc. The bass wasn't there for me and highs were painfull to my ears. Outdoor mode is better... Indoors. But I'll be trying the motion plus. I think in all fareness he was disappointed .... Not all ears are the same!!! Thank you for your honest review.
👍 I just tell it like i see it 😝 whether right or wrong 😁
Amazon prime day is 2 days away, it will be interesting to see the deals that will be available on these speakers
I was actually going to buy the uboom just to support Olav (like I’ve done with multiple Earfun products) but after watching his reviews, I’m out. He could’ve done an honest review and said it’s close to Motion + but not as good. He could’ve just said it’s a less expensive option with good sound and nobody would’ve questioned buying the uboom at the cheaper price. Oh well
i fear he is making a lot of people feel this way, and even worse he doesnt actually care. people pay for his work was his defence last night.
@@alanrossreviews You re right Oluv it s not a nice person. I saw from the the start. U can see from his face
@@alexandrub2246agree! Oluv is not a nice person. I remember seeing his response to his critics in his comments section and it was unpleasant to see.
This is the reason why Ive boycotted Oluv ever since he stopped favoring soundcore motion plus.
I can appreciate the technical side of your reviews as a subscriber but most of the tracks played are the same. Drums, horns, strings and un suppressed vocals are what some of us like.
best way imho to test a speaker is a complex wide range frequency track. i am trying to keep things simple, for most people these tracks will work well its not about if you like the music or not. i know some people would like to hear traditional non electronic instruments but in the real world being able to handle a big complex track will be more telling. The bottom line is the best music to test a speaker with is the music you will be listening to.
Thanks for the great review but you repeat yourself more than I do Amazon with the coupon added from EARFUN you can get the speaker for $56 dollars I did the firmware update because I was curious and it seems to drive the speaker harder maybe over-driven on some music The instructions are not really clear since it was not in english but looking at the photos it was not too bad to follow. HA I had to use a Anker cable because the cable that comes with the Uboom L is only a charge cable and my Anker cable is a true data cable. The Uboom L is a little smaller than my Soundcore Motion+ for travel but I will leave a pair of socks at home and keep traveling with my Motion +
yup i am far from perfect 🙈
@@alanrossreviews nothing bad was meant by repeat comment sorry
uboom feels more bright and cleaner , but motion plus has more bass and mid
i like uboom because it more balance,
but its not balanced, its a smiley face tuning.
Watch olaf's comparison on uboom L vs other small speakers. All positive regards were on the boom L. 😅
everything below £200 is now obsolete right?
Take it with a grain of salt, that's what I'd say
He still showed that Helsinki is superior...
Would you consider comparing two motion booms against the stormbox blast? I'd be very curious to see the results of those tests
yes its something i hope to get time to do.
👁 👄 👁 what in the world did I miss? I’ll have to watch this in a bit and get to the bottom of the fiasco lol
you wont get anything from the video itself, it was the oluv comments on the video that shocked the world but the pussy went and deleted them 🤪
I think the colours of the speakers are wrong in 23:00 :D
Left on top green is motion plus but on buttom its uboom l
Yes good spot. The colours wrong on bottom 😭😭😭
uboom L sounds like a small speaker on ny headphone to much high end,
at the end of the day, it is indeed a small speaker
IOS It is pretty substandard for audio enthusiasts in my opinion. no aptx, ldac, no headphone jack, no natove eq, no sideloading....
tell me about it....i was gobsmacked they did that......
Alright another Alan Ross Review's! Now that's a major major go!!
a major go but major major long 😭
Well you got my watch time from it😂
For electronic music with auto tune and similar effects the difference is not too big, a SMP with +6db sounds more impressive. With vocals, blues, soul, funk, classical music, it is noticeable that the Uboom L is one of the few devices that reproduce instruments and voices almost undistorted and cleanly separated. This only works in total with this balanced sound tuning. Setting 80 Hz higher, or 120, 140 whatever, shifts the entire sound image. I commit myself: For serious, critical listening, there is no way around the Uboom L in this size (note the difference in weight to the SMP, for example). And I understand Oluv that he is mightily annoyed: EarFun has not managed to attach the FW correctly. Unfortunately, the L does not sound 100% convincing ex-factory with this overemphasis of the treble. The FW update is inevitable to fully enjoy the effort invested by Oluv. And I deliberately say enjoy: The treble is corrected (tamed), the low frequency slightly fuller, smoother. This difference is certainly noticeable in measurements. Actually, it is an impertinence of EarFun, since the difference between standard and HiFi is in the fine tuning. I do not want to take sides with anyone, nor criticize anyone, but what is right must remain right. Alan I hope EarFun will provide you a second unit that you can sacrifice for a FW update. A comparison would be sensational! I have patched two devices (in TWS really impressive) one after the other, the sonic difference especially with those annoying upper treble is clear. Finally, I think it's a shame that many things are brought to the personal track, so I think it's very good how objective and neutral you have designed this comparison test here. For future videos, I would like to see more demanding music included, even if that might not be easy in terms of licensing. With instruments and familiar voices, you can hear distortions and detail reproduction more clearly. I still prefer the Denon Envaja or the Tribit Mega for some tracks. Mercedes, Porsche, Jeep... ;) depending on the occasion. In terms of authenticity and detail reproduction I see and hear currently with ~650 grams weight no better alternative
on the market, provided the "right" FW is on it. (Finally, one must also admit the EQing of the SMP). Congratulations to Oluv, screwed up by EarFun. ☮️
I finally read a comment with more knowledge (for what i see). If the fw update fixes the tunning as you say, i would definetly buy it, despite it doesn't have the best hardware given the size, and the bass doesn't go deep enough. I currently use poweramp with a Motion+ to make it sound better in the bass, upper mids and treble, increasing the separation and details (at least in my ears), and if the Uboom L has that without a 3rd party app, then it is a nice choice (also i'm sorry if i write something weird, still learning english).
I am new in this "good sound" thing, but i understand what a "good" tunning is, and enjoy it.
I would like to have an EQ in the L if i buy it though, like in the Motion Boom where you can save different ones, because i also enjoy a warmer sound, or more powerfull, depending of the moment.
i did ask for a second unit to update and then compare side by side and then try them in tws. They said they would send me a new unit when they hit in September. 😭 i will of course just update the one i have then but not quite yet, im not here for the flame wars even if i dont shy away from them when they come knocking on my door. However i need my chill time, if i dont enjoy youtube then no point in me being here. i understand the requests for traditional instruments and vocals. My youtube is a reflection of me and im not a purist, you have Oluv for that and i am much more forgivng when it comes to Bluetooth portables, i do not believe you can judge them the same as you would high end audio. so i do understand and appreciate the requests to be a bit more fine tuned in my critique and testing but given how long my videos already are with my current methodology its not a road i want to go down. i believe for the majority of people and the way they will use these speakers my testing covers most bases. we need lots of people testing speakers and giving opinions from different perspectives so we can build a good overview, i am just another voice. 👍
@@Ricky_RSC 100% agree to EQing. Even a Tribit Stormbox Pro what definitely sounds not right out of the box can be corrected by 31 bands oparametric EQ pretty well t oneutral or harman target. Peace.
@@Ricky_RSC as I already said - a comparison between both FW ideally with frequnecy measuremnts would be fantastic.
Chill Oluv, Alan and I we're all homies in real life
The new firmware from oluv has more bass, because the final speaker got a better driver. I bricked my second uboom L, but got it back working. I think it was, that I long pressed power button and Bluetooth button again, after the firmware writing began(new firmware of course). So it was possible to Unbrick the speaker. But I’m not completely sure.
But it sounds really good now. But still having a hard time against two bose flex.
Uboom L has much more punchy bass and it can go lower than the Bose, but still, it’s less bass than the Bose.
But really, the upgrade is worth it. And trying out two uboom L in stereo. Really.
Oh, I forgot, the highs are better too after the update on the uboom L. Not so harsh.
can you tell in steps how to upgrade firmware in uboom L?
@@User-bp5wp download the firmware and the multimedia tool. You find the download links in the community tab on oluvs UA-cam channel. Then install the multimedia tool.
After that start the tool. The speaker must be powered off. Than keep holding the Bluetooth button and connect it with an data usb cable (not the included one from the speaker!!) to your pc, while keep pressing the Bluetooth button. Now the tool should show your speaker as ready. Load the firmware to the tool, click replace and then on the start button.
It then starts to write the new firmware to your speaker. It will need about 30 seconds. At the end it shows finished. That should be it.
are you on android or apple?
@@alanrossreviews both. The update needs a windows pc.
I had no Bluetooth problems on iPhone or android.
no am interested if there is a correlation between who likes and doesnt like this speaker and whether they are on android or apple.
Highs are WAY too boosted on the UBoom L in my opinion. Would never listen to it like that.
i cant disagree but apparently new firmware is better 🤷♀️ i wont be testing it though due to the abuse i received from the first video. Including from Oluv.
@@alanrossreviews Oluv has became so biased to his own product (The UBoom L) that it has made me stop watching him. But you I will always watch because your interesting to watch and most importantly honest!
@@Usenowgamer thank you 👌
Its weird the earfun has side radiators but no bass. JBL has bass but everything else sounds muffled/muddy, you probably shouldn't have pushed the bass slider. If i were to choose, i'd go for the motion+ because it has tweeters and neodymium magnets, i have my own taste in EQ
i wouldnt say the earfun has no bass.
@@alanrossreviews well worst/least bass out of the three, not literal has no bass
I think the bass is there as demonstrated by outdoor mode but you dont hear it so much due to very boosted highs. The newer firmware is said to improve this.
Keep doing what u doing alan! Oluv got notin on you... 💪🏿
im not stoppin! 🤗 hes gonna be so pissed lol
@@alanrossreviews much love from Jamaica my friend!
💕 from UK
@@alanrossreviews Go Alan Go 💪🏼👊🏼
Very good review. You did the right thing rewieving straight out of the box without updating it. Come on it's 2022 I think that less than 5% of the people buying this is gonna do the update, fiddeling with some files on a PC and not be able to use the cable that comes with the speaker. Even with an app there is loads of people not going to upgrade. But maybe, It's tuned by a geek and made for geeks only. The sound on this is a joke over 60% no chance against Charge 5. Even the Soundcore + is destroying it. I'll pass on this one 🙂
They should have called this hype city? To be fair to earfun they have been open and straight in all my communications. They knew my review would be on old firmware and they said they would still value my feedback
@@alanrossreviews The hype on this is crazy, It's sad that Oluv is throwing away his integrety on this one. I'm sure it is a god speaker for the price, but this suposed to destroy everything in this class. Thanks for your honest review 👍🏻👍🏻
@@jann8490 Yes it's very sad that Oluv is so easily throwing away his integrity and reputation on this product. They must have paid him a very large amount of money for him to do this. It just shows that there's nothing money can't buy these days.
Yeah if they offer to the update through an app and a firmware update that would be much more sensible. I remember I had the W king d-9 and they added a firmware update that involved a manual change.
alan tested it, And said the update was basically a lateral move anyways. So I never went through the hassle of doing the manual update
Hi Alan, so today my motion plus 39.39 is offered a new firmware 45.49. Yes it says “fix bugs”. As usual. But I don’t experience any bugs. So I am wondering if you can do a test before and after this update.
im pretty stacked up right now, this wont be any time soon, sorry.
@@alanrossreviews no apologies needed here Alan. I’m not in a hurry. Just curious. Keep up your great work 👍🏻 much appreciated.
Soundcore sounds dull as compared to Earfun 😅 even after having tweeters it lacks refinement 😂 or we can say....The Tuning 😁 but I think Alan thinks upper bass is everything 😂😆
based on? how many videos you watched? given for years ive talked of liking deep bass and not upper bass it sounds like you are simply on a troll fail! which is all good, every comment helps the algorithm 👌
A speaker tuned by master geek Oluv!!! next : a speaker tuned BY MASTER ALAN ROSS, PLEASE!!!!
ha! but who would give me that job? what they should do is instead of indoor and outdoor mode they should have an oluv mode and an alan ross mode 💪
@@alanrossreviews wow.... two masters in two single positions of a same switch!! sounds great (never better said) and It even seems like a good paradox of real life!! :)
🤭
Oluv always did prefer crispier highs (too crispy for someone with younger ears) in general, so I'm not surprised with the high end lift.
and seems bass shy too?
@@alanrossreviews yes, absolutely. I was more surprised the outdoor mode had a bass uplift not a mid uplift haha
Glad to see y’all call on truce there at the end on that thread (we’ll see how it goes from here though. You know Oluv) Was starting to get a little out of hand there, with some of the remarks. Ain’t no need for that, we just here for the love of audio at the end of the day 🤪🤪
I’m gonna always have your back though Alan 😁😁😁 Even if it’s just me against 100 differing opinions 😙😙😙
The moment he said i should make enough money to leave my mommy he crossed the line.
Wow he said that😬 I only read a quarter of the comments
@@alanrossreviews Absolutely!!! That was uncalled for.
Read some of your recent comments as well, thought you had deleted the thread yourself. Not surprised at all, that Oluv couldn’t handle the heat of his own actions.
Too overhyped and not worth it.. ended up returning it even after receiving the "almighty" update. Just went back to the good and trusty Motion+, I'll just keep sticking to that and my M300.
🤣🤣 Motion plus is also my preference
Alan, how does it compare to the soundlink flex? Should I pay the extra for the flex as an outdoorsy person?
flex is warmer but i havent done a head to head, also flex form factor is very different. i think they are geared to two very different types of listeners. i dont think flex lovers will like the uboom and vice versa.
@@alanrossreviews I think I may get the flex as I do prefer a warmer sound, and have liked Bose tuning in the past (I had a revolve but it broke 😭). Also, I can clip it onto a backpack! Cheers for the response and great video once again!
I am waiting for mine to arrive at 60 usd on sale here in EU it was no brainer. I listen to off axis because it is going to be used on work site and at the same time it needs to be portable enough to fly with, so perfect combination for me.
