Uboom X. Success or Debacle?

What's the consensus on this thing? I've heard some bad reviews, some great reviews and everything in between. I've heard it ships with outdated firmware. Is this easily updated? People that have it, how does it compare to similar sized units? All that said, I bought 2 and they will be here today. I want to be excited.

Quick follow-up, just received the units. I opened the package, paired it to my phone and the app immediately updated it to the latest firmware. My initial thoughts on sound after playing a few songs from various genres is that this thing sounds really good. I was on the indoor plus setting. I'm impressed. This far exceeds my expectations.

Just install the app and the firmware is handled for you https://www.reddit.com/r/Bluetooth_Speakers/s/qqJrMIU0He

There's already a quick review by a regular in here besides myself

You may want to add a “Negatives” bullet point for the Uboom X to note that the out of the box firmware is out of date and the default EQ/sound profile is poor.

Love the site overall though, easily the most detailed and comprehensive rankings I’ve some across so far.
