Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM vs Sony SRS-XV500

The Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM and the Sony SRS-XV500 are both portable Bluetooth speakers with a room-filling sound. The Ultimate Ears is smaller and lighter but lacks RGB lighting as it's not as party-oriented as the Sony. Beyond this, both speakers are decently well-built, feature Bluetooth multi-device connectivity, and have sound profiles that are customizable via the graphic EQ and presets in their respective companion apps. Despite its smaller size, the Ultimate Ears can get louder with less compression present at max volume, and it has better directivity, so audio sounds more consistent from different angles. If you're okay with lugging around a heavier speaker, the Sony features a more prominent bass response when using its MEGA BASS feature.
