The bass line on Emilie Nicola’s beautiful If I Call, is of course not as defined as on a pair of Dynaudio Special 40, but clearly more clearly defined than from JBL Boombox 2. But it is not woolly or undefined even if there is a lot (enough) bass. Even when standing on a cast terrace, you can feel the bass. If you put a Hyperboom on the ground, you can feel the vibrations from the bass. An ordinary Boom drowns completely, and it does not take long before it does not keep up when you turn up the volume. Six speaker elements make a lot of noise. On each side they have placed two bass elements with two slave basses, and two trebles. UE says that it can handle a sound pressure of 100 decibels, and that agrees well with our measurements. With a total of six speaker elements, it becomes a heavenly soundtrack from a Hyperboom. Hyperboom and Boom, big difference in every way. Because if you have another UE speaker, Hyperboom, Megaboom or Boom, they can be connected wirelessly and placed on the terrace for even more sound. Hyperboom also has a party mode, which is activated if you want others at the party to have access to the speaker. Here you can also set up the party list for an entire evening, from streaming services such as Spotify (Android only), Amazon Music, Apple Music or Deezer It also has an adaptive eq, ie adjusting the balance of the sound according to where the speaker is located. The app has a five-band equalizer, so that you can mute the bass a bit, and raise the treble, if the sound quality from Spotify is not satisfactory.

It also has app control, which you can use if you want to adjust the sound a bit.

Here it is appropriate to add that it has optical and analog inputs for external audio sources, and a USB connector for charging the mobile. It connects to the mobile like all other wireless speakers, via Bluetooth, and has an input selector and volume on top of the speaker. It is not waterproof like the smaller UE speakers, but splash-proof, and withstands well that someone overturns the Prosecco glass over the speaker. The 36 cm high and almost six kilos heavy speaker, has a handy carrying handle and can stand outdoors in sunshine or rain. App-control The app has eq, party mode, stereo pairing and more.
