BOOM & MEGABOOM 4+

I bought this speaker mainly to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and professional education courses I have to get through. As such, I use the “previous track” feature as heavily as the “next track”, and also heavily rely upon the ability to rewind or fast forward (controlling the track from your physical iPhone, this is achieved by holding down the forward or back button). However, the single “magic button” one button on the top of the speaker which is supposed to control music from the speaker without needing to access your device, can only do two things - press once to play or pause, tap twice to skip to next track. Tapping three times does nothing; upon reading the support page, it turns out “previous track” is not a function on this device, anything other than play\pause or next track must be done from your device. In addition, most accessories which use this single\double\triple tap system allow you to hold the second (or third) tap down as a press in order to (respectively) fast forward or rewind within a track. The speaker supports neither of these either. I would gladly edit and update this review should the manufacturer correct this and add any or all of these features on a update (the speaker can be updated through the app).

I love this speaker...up until now. I just recently downloaded the latest firmware to enhance my speaker even more. I didn’t think it could get any better. I use for work, even the crew was amazed when I first brought it to work for the first time 5 years ago. Now they’re wondering what I did to it. All it does now is hiccup every 1-3 minutes through a song and it’s very annoying. Plus the Bass response isn’t anyway near what it used to be. So I had to tell them it was sabotaged by its own developers. That was a big decision I made 5 years ago. I read a lot of reviews on different speakers before I decided on this one. I was actually leaning pretty hard on a Polk Bluetooth speaker before I made the decision on this one. For $300 I would think I’d get a longer life expectancy. I guess it’s always a gamble...review or not. Well...that’s my sob story of the week.

Hey, I’ve recently bought a HYPERBOOM and loved it soooo much. Love the audio and the bass and clarity of it all. No tweaking has to be made for the sound at all. Now, I love the speaker so much I bought another HYPERBOOM. The issue I face now is when I pair the 2 speakers, they sound beautiful and awesome but, about every 15 mins or so there’s a audio skip or mis-sync between the 2 and my phone are literally right next to them. This alone has gotten be frustrated because I then have to power off the speakers to put them back to normal cause the app then freezes. This really takes away a whole lot from the experience. Possibly may be returning the second speaker if I can’t pair them both without having any issues whatsoever. Please, please guys, get this fixed as soon as possible.
