Our Verdict
Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM
Klipsch The Three II
The Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM is a better speaker than the Klipsch The Three II overall. The Ultimate Ears offers a better-balanced and more neutral sound profile with its room correction feature enabled. It's also battery-powered and comes with a built-in carrying strap, making it more portable. Additionally, it's more customizable thanks to the graphic EQ and presets featured on its companion app. That said, the Klipsch can get louder than the Ultimate Ears.
