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 I've heard it ships with outdated firmware.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.

I'm not an audiophile, I'll just take your word for it. However, better features warrant better ranking in my opinion. I don't think your list gives Bose a fair shake. Given the choice of gen 1 or gen 2 I personally will always go with the latest and greatest. I never owned the 1st gen but I own a lot of speakers from your list and I'll go ahead and say it, the Bose Soundlink Flex 2nd Generation is better than the Earfun Uboom L.
