Surprising Sound Tested: Bassboom vs. Price…Worth It?

Ever marveled at a speaker’s boasts—“big bass,” “360-degree sound,” “waterproof to the beach”—only to wonder if the price matches the promise? Today, we dive into the audio battleground with three candidates: a mysterious champion dubbed “Bassboom”, the sleek Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 4, and a rugged contender with IPX7 waterproofing. But here’s the twist: one wears a shadowed name, while the others bask in brand glory.

First up, the Bassboom (Black)—hidden in plain sight, its tagline screaming “20H playtime” and “bassboom technology”. Its compact, lit-up body hints at magic, but is this DIY darling as dreamy as the WonderBOOM 4’s (Blue) floating elegance and $200+ price tag? Or does the IPX7 speaker (Black), with its 25W stereo sound and moonlight illuminations, outplay its peers with a more modest cost?

Neither TWS pairing nor BT5.3 tec claims the throne just yet. All smirk at IPX5 (Bassboom), IPX5 (WonderBOOM), and IPX7 (IPX7 elect gadget) rain； all jest to 20H (Bassboom), 13H (WONDERBOOM), and 16H (IPX7 lit tech) tales. Only one will declare worth—or if, indeed, the real bass boom lies in comparing hype to genuine noise. Stay tuned.
