If you’re someone that enjoys listening to music while enjoying the outdoors, then your best bet is obviously to get a portable Bluetooth speaker to accompany you in your travels. Currently, there are many models of portable Bluetooth speakers to choose from. However, many of those Bluetooth speakers aren’t really designed to be taken outdoors, as many models are actually designed to be used within Smart Home environments. In addition, within the different models of Bluetooth speakers that can actually be taken outdoors, many of those aren’t really built to be as durable as they should be. Nevertheless, if you really want a portable Bluetooth speaker that not only can be taken outdoors but it is actually built to last you a long time, then the Monster Blaster 3.0 is exactly what you’ve been hoping for.
The Monster Blaster 3.0 is a 120-watts portable weatherproof speaker that features Bluetooth Connectivity with NFC Pairing, outstanding sound and bass, Dual Stereo Sound Modes, and up to 12 hours of battery life.
With an explosive 120 watts of power and innovative features like its Environment EQ technology which automatically optimizes the speaker’s sound by triggering its Indoor or Outdoor Modes with the simply push of a button, the Blaster 3.0 is THE portable Bluetooth speaker to have for all 21st-century music lovers.
In addition, its ultra-durable construction allows the speaker to be brought virtually anywhere, while its internal battery doubles as a portable power bank via a built-in USB-A Output Charging Port for conveniently recharging the battery of your other devices.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at it and check out everything that this 120-watts portable Bluetooth speaker has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with its size, the Monster Blaster 3.0 comes at a fairly compact size that puts any bulky Bluetooth speaker to shame, as this 120-watts Bluetooth speaker measures just 21 inches long by 11.7 inches wide by 11 inches tall. In addition, the speaker is also reasonably lightweight, weighing just 18 lbs.
For its design, the Blaster 3.0 boasts a unique triangular shape that ultimately allows the speaker to deliver a broad sound-stage for all of its listeners, no matter if its just you, a small group of friends of family members, or even a people-packed house-party.
More importantly, the speaker also comes equipped with an integrated Ergonomic Carrying Handle for a more reliable grip and an easier and more convenient portability-method overall.
For its construction, the Blaster 3.0 features (as said before) an extremely durable build, with its artfully-crafted body being made of high-end and ultra-durable materials that are designed to withstand a highly-active and alternated indoors and outdoors use.
In fact, the speaker’s body-surface even includes a custom patterned, heavily textured polymer that not only gives a minimalist and ultra-modern look, but also helps to prevent any sort of scratches.
Moreover, at the bottom-side of its body, the speaker also comes equipped with Vibration Dampening Rubber Feet that help to isolate the speaker’s music from whatever surface users want to have their Blaster 3.0 placed on. This basically ensures that your music always sounds excellent, no matter where you set-up your Blaster 3.0, whether that’s on a flat surface at home or even on the roughest of terrains while enjoying the outdoors.
At the front-side of the speaker, users will also notice that its internal Sound System comes wrapped in a beautiful steel speaker mesh that’s also coated with industrial-grade, rust-proof paint.
On top of all of that, this 120-watts portable Bluetooth speaker is also rated to have a IPX5 Water-Resistant Rating, which ultimately makes this portable speaker capable of withstanding all weather conditions, thus making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
AUDIO SPECS & AUDIO QUALITY
For its audio components, this portable Bluetooth speaker comes equipped with seven (x7) high-end Sound Drivers.
These consist of a smartly engineered 60-watt Dual Stereo Speaker System that’s powered by four (x4) Full-Range Drivers and two (x2) Passive Radiators, which is then also combined with an integrated 60-watt Bass Woofer for a whooping 120 watts of pure and raw sound power.
To put it simply, the Blaster 3.0’s 120 watts of pure audio power sounds incredible, both at high and low volumes. This means that you can use this portable Bluetooth speaker both for rocking on to loud tunes or even to play relaxing music while studying.
In sum, the speaker’s 120 watts of sound power allow it to deliver an unparalleled audio performance, with the treble (highs / high-range frequencies) being reproduced in a completely crystal clear manner, the mids (mid-range frequencies) always being present and easily noticeable, and a deep, studio-quality and extra-punchy bass being clearly heard at all times, especially on heavy-beat tunes.
Best of all, this portable Bluetooth speaker also boasts a unique Environment EQ technology that automatically optimizes the speaker’s audio to sound clear, loud, and exciting depending on where you are.
To be a little more specific, with the simple push of a button, users can toggle between Indoor and Outdoor Modes, which will instantly trigger the speaker to automatically optimize its audio to a Reflective Sound profile to have it bounce itself off walls (Indoors Mode), or alternatively, to optimize its audio to a Direct Omnidirectional Audio profile to have it fill the open outdoor air.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
Moving on, we have the speaker’s built-in Control Panel and its Connectivity Panel, which sit on opposite ends of the speaker.
On the right-side end of the speaker, we have its built-in Control Panel, which features a very simple and intuitive interface.
Going from top to bottom, we have a Mode Button (to swap between Indoor and Outdoor Modes), a Bluetooth NFC Pairing Button (for easily connecting your Smartphone to the speaker without the need of a Mobile App) along with Connection Status LED Lights, a set of Volume Controls (for easily adjusting the speaker’s volume levels on-the-fly), and another set of Status LED Lights that inform users about which Sound Mode is currently on.
On the opposite end (meaning the left-side end of the speaker), we have its Connectivity Panel, which comes neatly protected underneath a Weatherproof Rubber Sleeve.
The speaker’s Connectivity Panel includes a small Reset port right at the top-side, and also features Multiple Input ports, which, from top to bottom, go as follow: a Mic Mono 3.5mm Jack port, a Stereo Aux 3.5mm port, a USB-A Output Charging Port for charging an external device (such as a Smartphone), and a AC Power-Charging Port to recharge the speaker’s internal battery.
CONNECTIVITY
For its connectivity, since the Monster Blaster 3.0 is a 120-watts portable Bluetooth speaker, it also features Bluetooth Connectivity via NFC Pairing, which can be enabled by simply touching the speaker with an NFC-compatible device such as a smartphone (or Walkman, etc.) to then conveniently have the speaker turn On automatically and having it automatically start its Bluetooth pairing connection.
It’s that simple. All you have to do is to press the speaker’s Bluetooth NFC Pairing Button and then pair the Blaster 3.0 to your phone or computer without an app. Specifically for the case of users that own an Android device, you can simply use NFC and pair your device with the Blaster 3.0 speaker by simply tapping on its Bluetooth Pairing Button.

For charging the speaker’s internal battery, its just a matter of connecting its AC Power Adapter and AC Charging Cable to its AC Power-Charging Port. Charging the speaker’s battery should only take you around 2.5 hours (150 minutes) of time.
As said before, thanks to the speaker’s built-in 5,200 mAh Lithium-Ion battery, the Blaster also doubles as a portable power bank for all of your devices’ “battery-charging needs”.
