A must buy

Ordered this unit for a 4th of July party - delivery was delayed due to carrier issues. Set it up upon arrival, everything worked great and sounded great. Put it away in our storage room, pulled it out last night as Tailgating Season is starting (late August) and the bluetooth feature no longer works. Will be shipping it back - 1 day before the return window closes...eeeek!!!!

I have purchased this item 2 times now. The first time the display barely worked...the second time it worked but only partially....just slightly better than the first time. How many times do I have to return and get a new one only to find out the display is bad?

Do NOT buy these if you plan on using a microphone with more than one speaker! I bought 2 speakers so I could "pair" them together and use them with a microphone as a PA system as I teach workshops to large groups. They come with mics, and they advertise you can pair more than one speaker together but the mic only will work on one speaker. This was verified by Monster support.

shuts down after sitting idle for a short period of time. When tried to use during a child sports tryout situation, you need to announce and walk away for a bit, when you try to use again, it has gone in a shut down mode and you have to shut it off and wait for it to come back on, which doesn't work well. Also, the buttons on the back aren't marked, they give you a schematic of what they do, but that isn't helpful when you're trying to use it.

Owned original Monster. Bought a later model. Bluetooth became unresponsive in under 6 months. The NOAA warning signal is annoying and comes on at random times; you cannot permanently disable. It has a "low battery" verbal warning that comes on after it is already dead and you plug in the chord to recharge (worthless, happens every time). Customer service at Monster is a joke, go to their website. Can't return because it's been over 90 days. They've permanently lost my business. Hope this helps someone.

When I say I have been looking for this sound and I finally found it. I love it! It was worth the price and the wait. The bass is right, clear words no breaks in the connection. Just perfect. I would definitely recommend this speaker. Only downside it has to be plugged up to work but that's ok the sound and quality makes up for it. So glad I made this purchase.

Great speaker, just wish it was wireless.

not as loud as I thought it would be

Great speaker. It was a gift for my husband and he loved it
