Ultimate Ears Hyperboom

The Ultimate Ears Hyperboom is the brand’s largest speaker to date, and it allows you take your party anywhere, whether that’s indoors or outdoors – although it is a little heavy. In addition, it has a stylish and discreet design, and the ability to pair with two devices at once. It's on the pricier side for Bluetooth speakers, but it delivers excellent sound.

Ultimate Ears Hyperboom portable Bluetooth speaker is a big speaker that produces a big sound — at a big price.

The HyperBoom wasn’t made to answer your queries or set timers. It was made to bring the house down at large parties. And even though the coronavirus pandemic has put a dampening on partygoers for the meantime, Ultimate Ears’ big speaker somehow feels just as natural to have in my tiny apartment as a smart speaker. Part of the reason for that is because it looks good, but the main factor is its connectivity. The HyperBoom can elevate the sound experience of every device that I use, and that makes its $399 asking price far easier to swallow.

This is the portable speaker for someone who's tired of sacrificing sound quality for size. Yes, it's bigger, heavier and pricier than all those compact Bluetooth speakers out there. But it looks and sounds more like a "real" speaker in your home and is still portable when you want to take it on the go.

The massive Ultimate Ears Hyperboom Bluetooth speaker is a portable sonic powerhouse with a water-resistant build and a useful companion app.

If you like UE but felt like its previous offerings weren't loud enough to power your parties, then the Hyperboom is perfect for you. Sure it's expensive, but it fills a niche that UE couldn't previously fill.
