Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM
JBL Boombox 3
The JBL Boombox 3 and the Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM are similar speakers with different strengths. The Boombox 3 can produce deeper bass than the HYPERBOOM and offers 5 extra hours of battery life, for a total of almost 30 hours. It's better built with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, certifying it as dust-tight and submersible to a depth of up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. That said, the HYPERBOOM is a bit smaller and offers better directivity. If you prefer a better-built speaker that can produce deeper bass, go for the JBL. If you tend to blast your music and want cleaner audio at max volume, go for the Ultimate Ears instead.
