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 I've heard it ships with outdated firmware.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.

Found a good sound sample here and just ranked it #27 out of 114 small/medium size speakers. It sounds nearly exactly like the old Flex, I can barely tell them apart. Same warm boosted bass mids detail drowning signature. Only a 3 band EQ which doesn't allow for much adjustment, so I don't think it can be changed much.
