Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM vs Brane X

The Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM and the Brane X are portable speakers that pack a lot of volume into a small design. The Brane has a more balanced sound and can get quite a bit louder, though there's much more compression present at max volume. It also reproduces more low bass, which is great for lovers of EDM and hip-hop. On the other hand, the Ultimate Ears has much better directivity thanks to its cylindrical design, so your audio sounds the same regardless of your listening angle. It also has a longer continuous battery life, which is great for outdoor excursions.
