The 360 sound is amazing it could make ur neighbors want to call the cops

[@ComeAtMe]

If you want a boombox with bass the Tribit stormbox blast is amazing

[@helen_killer626]

Thanks for the video. It's SO HARD to get a good impression of the overall sound of a speaker when watching a video on it because there are so many variables (your mic, my speakers, your environment etc.) When I'm watching videos like this for speakers, headphones, I find myself watching the listeners face to see their reaction. You kept your face pretty expressionless 🤣. Do you think this speaker is worth 350? Have you listened to the (now recalled) Brookstone Big Blue Party?

[@Nirvezz]

People do forget that they judge the boom box sound quality from the use of their owns speaker being used to listen.

[@andrewverran3498]

I just purchased a Monster Blaster 3 and am purchasing a second, if I had a Y 3.5 stereo out lead to 2 mono 3.5 jacks could I run 2 Moster Blaster 3's in STEREO without relying on the TWS Bluetooth connection for pairing in stereo?. Cheers

[@dtjrealmc]

Has to be in a corner and horizontal for maximum levels

[@dylanjoyce2407]

i got this onsale for 140 canadian byfar the best deal

[@onegraphics2dio]

Please how to update my monster blaster firmwar

[@s.c8554]

Finally someone reviewed it thank you!! There is no way to check battery level?

[@Nirvezz]

Most likely there is. My 2016 model has a line of LED’s indicating the battery power on the side

[@s.c8554]

@@Nirvezz thanks mate for your opinion, I had the older model and yeah there are leds on the side for battery and the other side for volume and mode eqs. But this new model has only leds for volume that's why I was wondering. Cheers mate

How is this speaker for rock music from 50s 60s 70s? Curious how mids and highs would be especially with it in sale for 249 right now

[@amortalx]

I have the Monster Blaster. The Sound of these are Insane

[@wadec6799]

​@amortalx is this blaster still holding up? Seen it for 149 for Costco members

[@jdawg988]

How does it compare to the jbl boombox 2 and braven xxl2

[@qosmiosquad2380]

Appearently from other comparisons the JBL boom box and braven aren't nearly as good. The bass from the monster is wave acking and goes much further outside with noticibility. Meanwhile from 80 feet the JBL boom box and braven had the lack of sound from a distance. Audio quality. Monster beat the JBL and Braven. But the only difference is the Monster doesn't have a APP to modify equalizers. Meanwhile JBL and the braven do

[@llelsonbustillo6374]

Braven xxl 2 isn't even loud only good thing on it is the bass

[@jdawg988]

@llelsonbustillo6374 I have one and it's pretty loud about the same as a jbl Boombox 2 just maybe under, bass is on point though

[@jdawg988]

@@llelsonbustillo6374 maybe they will make a braven xxl 3

[@llelsonbustillo6374]

@@jdawg988 idc what anyone says the braven xxl is the loudest boombox I've ever heard in my life

[@robertowens7771]

Were is the bass, got to have the bottom end too, it does not

[@RandyBandit34]

Is this as good as the jbl boombox 3 for the price? Or is the jbl worth the money?

[@llelsonbustillo6374]

No I would not get the bb3 u can get this for like $200 rn what a steal that's a fracción of the price of the jbl

[@fallzsteve6442]

any giv aways

[@kippercat123]

What , no card reader ?

[@dtjrealmc]

This thing is 2 years old?? 150 on Amazon.. maybe I should look go the updated rip me off price

[@juansoto2818]

As you stated it is loud and clear that I give it but it doesn’t have drivers. Instead they put midrange speakers in there with woofers and passive radiators. Fell short for me on rhe highs. Way to much bass. Shook rhe entire house. Sounded flat. I returned it. Didn’t come close to a jbl 2

[@llelsonbustillo6374]

360 sound though for the price it's a steal now

[@llelsonbustillo6374]

I play it loud and imo the jbl bb2 sounded harsh I usually play max volume

[@joemacch6284]

Monster now hear this…time for a freaking EQ app.

[@OptimizeWithRajan]

For real for real

[@Nirvezz]

There are phone apps for eq

[@OptimizeWithRajan]

@@Nirvezz they don’t work that well and they’re not what they used to be especially on iPhone… I bought the speaker I used it for about 10 minutes and it’s been back in the box waiting to be returned. I hate the bi directional speakers. I like traditional speakers where they send sound out one way, my ears and brain cannot handle there being no true front. Lol

[@jazziehuell816]

my phone has a built in eq 🥱

[@dtjrealmc]

Okay. Not feeling the design.... shit.. I fucking lied... bought this Monster.. perfect for a bedroom.. bang it loud.. sub hits hard. Clean audio.. stand it up to a corner or put in center of room if possible.. Bang for your Buck

[@robertowens7771]

I say noooooo

[@UnrealNobody69]

1. comment nice Video

[@robertowens7771]

Both of them speakers sound the same, I'm sorry but neither one has any bass, my 40 watt db soars kick both of those speakers azz
