Long-lasting battery and good sound quality for it's price. By Wesley Colby Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020

This speaker is great for a lot of situations. I use it quite often and the battery lasts for a really long time. I can go almost a week without charging it which is super convenient. The sound quality is pretty good. It is very loud. The bass could be better. One little problem that I have had is while listening at 90-100% volume there is a little distortion with bass-heavy songs. I only have this issue with two or three songs so it's not a deal-breaker. One solution to this is to turn the speaker to the outdoor mode which gets rid of the distortion almost completely! I would really like to see an increase in bass in an updated model of this product, but for the price, it's a great deal. Lastly, compared to other similar speakers like the JBL Charge and Flip series this speaker is about equal in sound quality. Although the EarFun has slightly less bass it is definitely louder and has a clearer sound than the previously mentioned speakers. In conclusion, this is a great speaker and in my opinion the best bargain for a good speaker that is also good quality. If I ever need a new Bluetooth speaker I will buy another EarFun UBOOM!

So...
22 years of sound engineering, dj, music production, musician. Sound is everything and my ears hurt like nails on a chalk board when sound isn’t balanced, beautiful and immersive. Rich bass, powerful mids and clean crisp clear highs.
If that’s not accomplished at all volumes then it hurts my ears like someone chewing on aluminum foil. I mean I can’t handle it.
Soundcore Motion Q TWS portable 360 speakers exposed me to TWS true 360 sound. The experience changed me after so much time in front single direction speakers. I’ve worked with every brand of speaker manufacturer. Every manufacturer has a sound that’s unique and honestly no one has it just right. It takes mixing speakers that have more this or less that to get it JUST RIGHT. You have to be dedicated to that goal, it’s immensely time consuming and unless you’re sponsored, it’s EXPENSIVE.
The soundcore motion q’s were $39.99 a pop on here and I elected for 2 because of this idea of tws pairing and 360 Omni directional sound. Never heard it truly 360, closest was 300 degrees as manufacturers always had buttons on the back which literally sound cant come out of so its not true 360.
In this day where we all gotta have a speaker for our music we’ve all gotten used to mono sound even if the speaker has “stereo”
Stereo requires a right and left dedicated channel, That’s what defines it. Having that in on unit may meet the definition but it doesn’t provide what having two sources of sound on your left and your right ears provides, further, the true 360 sound experience, the immersion of sound, well its life changing if you have a love for music and fidelity.
5.1 Dolby can be immersive but I find that isn’t made for music as much as cinema, Dolby always processed the sound wired and that’s cause most music isn’t recorded in 5.1 surround
ANYWAYS.....
The sound score’s are my # 2 favorites and these bad boys are the undisputed champions.
This is ranked out of the following speakers (all test were done with 2 speakers minus jbl but I’ll mention that and were either TWS or had an app to pair that didn’t provide stereo sound but just louder sound)
First I started with Bose because people associate that with the best even though that has NEVER been my experience . Ever.
Side by side to earfun, you’d think Bose were cheap knock off speakers, made for a buck sold for $200 a pop. It’s not even close and reminded me why I can’t stand bose. You’re paying for the name and they completely gave up any standing with 360. Flat and empty while Earfun was so immersive.
Soundcore Motion Q:
The only knock I had is they lacked thump. The base tone was rich but just didn’t have enough punch. I mean they still changed my life and for that they are my #2 and still own them and use th em paired with a BT transmitter to my pair earfuns. It’s mind blowing what these 4 speakers produced or less than 1 Bose.
Jbl Flip 5....
At 100 % jbl has more bass but gets distorted where earfun has bass reducing to ensure it doesn’t blow but no distortion, further in outdoor mode, they are audibly louder than Jbl and that’s not my ears, that’s from a decimeter and because they have passive subs on the outer ends versus the earfuns they aren’t Omni directional 360. The sound isn’t the same no matter where you’re at in relationship to the speakers and that’s what you get from earfun. Additionally jbl user party connect or what ever they upgraded too so it’s not tws it’s just amped sound so it sounds lacking.
Using the same decimeter walking around the earfun it literally doesn’t drop one decidable from all 360 degrees. The ONLY 360 speaker that can say that.
Next jbl 1 charge 4 versus 2 earfun 360. This is a $250 beast compared to what look like grossly incompatible speakers next to the monster.
The ONLY thing the JBL Charge 4 had was bass. I mean it’s got massive subs but ..... 2 of the earfuns still sound better hands down especially 80% and lower. There is just something about the sound immersion. NOTHING replicates what they have created.
My # 3 is the Sony xb33 (pair)
I don’t think speakers and lights go together, you sacrifice sound every time and you can just buy lights that sink to sound and poof. All in ones always sacrifice something for lights.
Enter Sony. Now xb33 are awesome and I do like the lights. But like the flip 5 side subs and forward facing drivers they are very one directional and they don’t immerse you like earfun. 2 Sony xb33 are definitely for large crowd outdoor boom. They get loud and pump but if you’re behind them, forget it. You miss it all.
That’s why they are #3 not 2.
The Anker 360 looks pretty identical To earfun except smaller, almost the closest 360 speakers with a smidgen of bass that comes close to these bad boys but don’t rank In my top 10 cause they just lack in every way other than 350 degrees. They didn’t have true 360 sound per the decimeter.
I won’t list the other 3 knock offs amazon sells as 360 tws speakers but none were on less than 10 seconds before I was returning. Instant NO.
Summarization. I’ve done the hard, time consuming work and personally expensive work and suggest you take my advice, buy 2 of these bad boys and have your world changed forever.
For $120 or less, you absolutely can’t beat these, not even with Bose or a JBL Charge 4, double the size and price.
I don’t do YouTube crap, this is my outreach and hopefully helpful review, lord knows I’ve read a lot that say good and end up being anything but.
I promise you that’s not the case.
Buy 2, you’ll thank me☝️
(Update) 9/7 - original purchase was 8/10
I’m even more of a fan than I was on initial review. These bad boys (girls) can take a beating, they can take sustained use and they sound phenomenal still.
I just bought 2 more so i can have which due to an issue with one battery I’ve already got to hear and wow. It’s an experience to hear the AMAZING sound these monsters make.
I’ve had them fall from quite high, drowned at a pool party, and played for the entire party sunset to sunup and they are sad as am I when they have to power down when the party is over.
I’ve been an unofficial sponsor for earfun now because anyone that hears them and finds out I got the setup for $200, literally orders them in real time so they’ll have em too.
There is life before and life after once you’ve heard music through these. The subtle Nuances in a song you thought you knew are stunning. These babies are a gift from sound engineers who designed this speaker from passion and it’s evident.
The speaker with a battery issue Earfun immediately corrected showing there customer service is as important as customer experience.
Buy these you’ll thank me and earfun Show Full Review

Stylish, Durable, and Surprisingly Powerful By Jordan Opel Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019

I don't post reviews often, but I absolutely love this little speaker. The minimal, sleek design looks so great on my countertops. I've mainly used it indoors, and the bass output is really impressive for the size. I already have a bose soundlink mini and I wanted something a little more durable without spending a lot of money, but I didn't expect to get better sound quality! I can't wait to take this speaker to the park. I tested out the waterproofing in my sink, and it seems to hold up really well. One of my favorite features is the extra-large, extremely stable rubber base — it holds the speaker really securely and feels high quality. Pairing to my phone was a breeze and I love the fact that the battery lasts all day. If you're looking for a new speaker or just need one for the outdoors or another room, I'd really recommend going with Earfun. Show Full Review
Balanced sound cheaper than major brands like JBL, Bose, Sony, UE By Leopoldo P. Romero Vega Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019

This is my first review ever on Amazon. This little speaker meet all my expectations! I've tested most budget friendly bluetooth speakers available on Amazon (Anker Soundcore Motion+, tribit xboom, tribit maxsound plus, anker flare, even more expensive ones like sony xb20, 21, jbl charge 3, 4, jbl flip 4, 5, etc.) due to good reviews online like oluv's on youtube. Let me tell you that the sound of this earfun uboom speaker doesn't disappoint. I know sound is subjective and what sounds good for someone may not sound as good for another person, but just to give you an idea I have the original bose soundlink mini and the harman kardon go + play to compare right now. The sound coming out of this earfun uboom is somewhere between these speakers for a fraction of the price (the bose was $200 new and the go + play is $399 {on sale for $299 right now}. the bass on this earfun is almost as good as in the bose, but clarity, mids & highs the earfun takes the cake. My wife also has the 360 bose revolve plus and this little uboom gives that speaker a run for its money. Just DO NOT EXPECT CRAZY BASS like a home theater system with subwoofer or big bluetooth speakers such as JBL xtreme or boombox, harman/kardon go + play or harman/kardon onyx studio series.I did not believe some reviews here or online, even oluv's, but this speaker proved me wrong. I thought I had heard them all, but I'm glad I gave this little fella a chance. If you are looking for a portable bluetooth speaker you can take everywhere, (the anker soundcore motion+ sounds a little better, but it's on the bigger side and not as portable) this is the speaker you need. Don't think about it and give this little speaker a chance, you won't be disappointed! Show Full Review
