Our Verdict

Bose S1 Pro System

Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM

The Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM is a better speaker than the Bose S1 Pro System overall. The Ultimate Ears can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono which is more immersive. Its directivity is a bit better too, resulting in a wider-sounding soundstage. Also, it comes with a graphic EQ and presets, so you can customize its sound to your liking.
