Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about EarFun Uboom

  • Excellent value and affordable budget pricing
  • Strong, robust build with IPX7/IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating
  • Balanced sound quality with dedicated indoor and outdoor audio profiles
  • Supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing to sync two units together
  • Reliable battery life for extended outdoor playback
  • Includes convenient features like a built-in microphone and USB-C charging

What customers don't like about EarFun Uboom

  • Sub-bass and mid-bass extension are somewhat limited and lack deep punch
  • Audio can feel highly directional, leading to muffled sound if not facing the listener directly
  • High frequencies can sound slightly tinny or roll off, missing crisp treble detail
  • Control buttons can be small, flat, and difficult to distinguish by touch alone in low light
  • The default EQ setting can sound boomy or flat without custom software tuning
  • System beeps and alerts can be startlingly loud and cannot be disabled

Verdict

The EarFun UBOOM is a compact portable Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring dual 45mm full-range drivers and dual passive radiators that deliver 24W (2 x 12W) of 360-degree balanced audio. Key advantages include an impressive battery life of up to 16 hours with a 4-hour USB-C fast charge, an IPX7 fully waterproof rating integrated with Sweatshield technology, voice assistant compatibility, and a True Wireless Stereo mode to link two units. On the downside, the passive radiators can sound somewhat anemic at lower volumes, waterproofing is disabled when utilizing the physical auxiliary input cable, and the speaker lacks a built-in radio or voice prompt system.
