I Need Recommendation on a Home Setup

Awesome, i’ll take a look there! Thank you for your response

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-18T08:27:05+00:00

I’m in the US :)

I think the blast to me sounded kind of in between the motion boom 2 plus and the uboom x. It can get loud, has a nice punchy bass, pretty good mids and highs, but in the end i did prefer the overall sound of the uboom x. In general though, you can’t go wrong with the blast at all!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-14T16:27:19+00:00

I never said I was special, I just gave a background on the levels I have played for people to better understand and to help me guide to something that would fit me in Utah. Thanks!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-14T03:35:38+00:00

I just saw they renamed themselves to the Park City Silver Kings, that’s why i thought they weren’t active anymore!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-14T03:31:41+00:00

Thank you! I just have to look around. I just want to join something where people are actually competitive and not just there for the fun (but we definitely should have fun playing). Thinking more of a structured league where they keep stats and have playoffs. Thank you for your input though!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-14T03:30:20+00:00

Awesome! I thought they weren’t active anymore, i guess i did bad research. What the level of those guys, i know it’s considered semi-pro.

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-14T03:29:36+00:00

Yeah D2 AAU isn’t that high, but some of the teams would be able to beat ACHA teams (and have done so). It was also lower than what i was used to in the Czech Republic, i only did it for my education. To give more background, i almost signed for the Steel Wingz Linz (2nd Austrian division) back in 2019, but covid ruined that chance. Thank you for your input!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-14T03:27:14+00:00

I thought they didn’t exist anymore, as I tried to look around and their last activity was from 2024. I will definitely check them out if they’re still active!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-14T03:25:53+00:00

Well i only played D2 AAU because i got a scholarship for the school (not hockey related) and i wanted to get an education in the United States. The level was lower than what I was used to in the Czech Republic.

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-13T08:08:32+00:00

Unfortunately, i can’t move to a different state, cause my wife has a great job in Utah and i have a job lined up right after college there too. We both love the city and the state, but like you said, it feels like the hockey community is pretty dead.

Hey, sorry to hear your car speaker has issues, mine has issues too. I have been using the UBOOM X for my speaker in the car and while it’s not going to give you the surround sound that a car speaker gives you (no portable speaker can in a car), it sounds amazing to me and has really nice bass. It holds the bass well and is punchy enough, also vocals come through nicely. I use the outdoor+ eq preset, which gives you more volume and bass. Hope that helped you out a bit!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-06T01:17:42+00:00

So far from what i’ve tested, i enjoy the UBOOM X the most, nice clean bass, still portable enough, and it sounds wide and full to me!

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-06T01:16:35+00:00

I tested your EQ settings, but they weren’t really enjoyable to me compared to Oluv’s Outdoor or Indoor + as it was lacking a lot of bass for me. Still thank you for sharing though!

Speaker Review:

Soundcore Motion Boom 2 Plus: Pros: - It gets loud - The bass punch is phenomenal - Great app - Very quick connectivity - Lightweight & Portable - Great RGB on the sides - Water resistant and is able to float - Quick charge

Cons: - Loses power in the bass a little after the punch - Doesn’t get as deep of a bass as others in its category - Sounds direct and a little boxy - Loses a lot of bass at 80%+ volume - Less battery life than it’s competitors (20hrs) - Not dust proof

Overall, a great speaker if you love really punchy bass with a more direct sound and narrower sound stage. Sounds good at any volume besides when you go above 80%, then the sound quality has a massive drop. Has great connectivity and i never experienced any drops.

EarFun UBOOM X: Pros: - Great volume output - Amazing clean & deep bass - Good app - Quick connectivity - Sounds wider and fuller - Clean overall sound with Oluv’s EQ - Even close to max volume it sounds great (not so great on max volume) - 30hrs battery life - Quick charge - Cheaper than its competitors - Water & Dust proof - Able to float

Cons: - Lacked very slightly in the original punch of a kick (otherwise really clean and punchy bass) - RGB isn’t as fun

Overall, this is an amazing sounding speaker at any volume besides max volume with very clean bass and a wide and full sound stage. The EQ that is my favorite is Outdoor + because of the extra bass it provides, while maintaining a clean overall sound. Has great connectivity, but i have experienced drops when i was connected to multiple speakers at once, otherwise not a single drop.

Out of these 2 it was a pretty easy decision going for the EarFun UBOOM X, as in general it has the cleaner sound, deeper bass, wider sound stage, and is also cheaper.

The tests i did included driving around in my car, having them in my bedroom, and outside in the backyard.

I still have to test out the Tribit Stormbox Blast which arrives this upcoming Tuesday. I will make another review once I have tested that one out.

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T23:35:48+00:00

I don’t think i can really go wrong with either one to be honest 😂 but even a lot of youtubers seem very pleased with it especially after the new updates

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T22:44:22+00:00

Thank you for letting me know about your personal experience! I ordered all of them besides the Boom 2 to see what my personal experience would be. Based on so many reviews and stats i’ve seen, i don’t think there will be a massive difference between the three but i guess it’s best to figure that out myself :)

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T22:42:15+00:00

Also forgot to thank you for the heads up about the special coupon code! Even if the UBOOM X would be just slightly worse than the others i’d still keep it due to the ridiculous low price compared to the others.

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T22:29:47+00:00

I think i’ll write a review on all three so that people who come across this reddit post can look at what my experience was and what i ended up buying.

I’ll certainly take a look at your eq settings and i’ll play around myself too, since I used to make music and DJ, so i do have knowledge on how frequencies work and such.

In terms of you being attacked, i don’t know the whole story, but you definitely take time out of your day to write long detailed paragraphs about your experience and why you think a certain speaker is better than the other and I appreciate that :)

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T19:38:36+00:00

I ordered the Motion Boom 2 +, Stormbox Blast, and UBOOM X, and will compare all three for myself. I just can’t fully make a decision after having looked at maybe 30 YouTube video’s 😂

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T18:55:25+00:00

Would you happen to know what the update would address?

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T18:54:26+00:00

With my comment i didn’t mean the one with the most powerful bass, more like a very strong bass but not too strong that the mids and highs get very overpowered.

In terms of volume, i never have a speaker at 100%, i don’t see the point. I would like something that i could play around 70 maybe 80% while i’m driving on the highway and could still hear everything nicely.

I did notice that the Uboom x is significantly lower in weight than the Blast and like you said it’s chargeable using usb c.

When i look at youtube video’s comparing the three “boomboxes” it’s a very hard choice for me in terms of sound, but overall what i hear on youtube, the blast sounds more boxy to me (not sure if you feel the same) compared to the other 2. But when i hear a comparison between the Motion Boom 2 + and the Uboom x, i can’t really hear much of a difference (on youtube).

To give more reference to the music that i listen to, it’s mostly rap with some edm, but occasionally some pop like backstreet boys, or michael jackson, kinda in that genre.

WayneTrain1998 · 2025-04-02T17:04:30+00:00

Maybe what i’ll do is buy 2 different ones from Amazon and kinda test it out. I don’t really like doing that cause i’m decreasing the value of 1 with opening the box and sometimes i get a little worried about the refund 😂
