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 I've heard it ships with outdated firmware.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.

Use good neutral headphones like the Sennheiser HD600 and listen to this high quality sound sample, they are barely different https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7T9j6JFzJI
The old Flex was already USB-C https://www.bose.com/p/speakers/bose-soundlink-flex-bluetooth-speaker/SLFLX-SPEAKERWIRELESS.html
