【1992 Archives】

Looking at Ultimate Ears' wireless speaker lineup992 Archives it was inevitable. First there was the Boom, then the Megaboom, followed by the Blast and Megablast (perhaps not exactly in that order, but you get the picture).

So now, the company took this idea a few notches further with its latest portable, wireless speaker: the Hyperboom.

The Hyperboom, dubbed as the brand's "loudest and bassiest speaker yet," is truly massive; I don't have exact size specifications yet, but it's probably a fair amount bigger than your head.

Of course, due to its size, the Hyperboom is more of a party speaker than a home speaker. But big size has advantages, including 24 hours of battery life (the battery can also be used to charge your phone), and a sound that's three times louder an has "six times the bass" (whatever that means) of UE's Megaboom 3.

The Hyperboom has an IPX4 rating, meaning it's resistant to a little water (don't go diving with it, though). It also has UE's recognizable plus/minus controls on top, as well as play/pause/skip controls, also on top.

The Hyperboom supports four input sources — two Bluetooth connections, a 3.5mm input and an optical audio input — and it adapts to the environment, meaning it should sound good in any space. It works nicely with Apple Music, Spotify (Android only), Amazon Music and Deezer.

Ultimate Ears Hyperboom will be available in early March for the price of $399.99 in "select countries."
