Rating for [object Object]

Nicely Roasted

Built around a 120mm woofer and dual mid‑high drivers, the EPICBOOM delivers room‑filling, 360-degree sound with punchy bass and confident high‑volume clarity. Reviewers including What Hi‑Fi? and ecoustics praise its party-scale performance; versatile PartyUp pairing, USB‑C charging and a 17‑hour battery make it a reliable outdoor companion.

What Hi-Fi

"The burly Epicboom is a well-made and eminently likeable plus-sized portable, yet we have our doubts as to whether it can compete sonically with the market’s best."

Pros

  • Room‑filling, omnidirectional 360° sound with strong low‑end punch that suits party and outdoor use.
  • Robust, well‑made chassis with IP67 dust/water protection — durable for outdoor and poolside use.
  • Flexible feature set including adaptive EQ, PartyUp multi‑speaker pairing, USB‑C charging and a 17‑hour battery for long sessions.

&

Cons

  • Mids can sound slightly artificial and less tonally rich than some rivals, reducing musical nuance for critical listening.
  • Battery life (17 hours) is decent but outpaced by a few competing models that offer longer run times.

Sound Quality

84/100

Bass

88/100

Reviewers note a 'decent degree of sonic punch' and broad low-end impact from the 120mm woofer; performs strongly for a portable speaker and suits party/hip-hop material.

Mid

80/100

Mids are serviceable but can sound slightly 'artificial' or less rich compared with rivals (What Hi‑Fi cites reduced tonality versus the Sonos Move 2), so vocals and timbre lack some body.

Treble

81/100

Treble is reasonably extended and holds up at loud levels, though Outdoor Mode can make it a bit harsher/industrial-sounding per the review; minimal obvious distortion at high volumes.

Soundstage Imaging

86/100

360-degree driver arrangement and reviewer comments about a 'broad, expansive sound' give this speaker unusually wide coverage and a confident omnidirectional presentation.

Dynamics

83/100

Shows robust macro dynamics and clean output at high volumes ('considerable lungs' and little obvious distortion), though it's not the most rhythmically sprightly speaker versus some competitors.

Show Less

Build Quality

90/100

Described as 'burly', well-made and likeable; IP67 rating and solid construction give a premium, robust feel for portable use.

Features Connectivity

80/100

Passive baseline applied.

Value for Money

80/100

At ~$329 the Epicboom is seen as earning its high-end price tag with strong features and performance, though battery life is only 'okay' and some rivals offer greater tonal refinement.
