Verdict

The Monster SuperStar is an ultra-compact, travel-friendly portable Bluetooth speaker equipped with two stereo full-range drivers and dual 1.75-inch passive bass radiators designed to deliver wide audio dispersion and Pure Monster Sound with aptX support. Weighing just 7.04 ounces and measuring roughly 4.72 inches long, it features an IPX4 splash-resistant rating, a shock-proof silicone protective shell, and an integrated noise-canceling microphone for clear speakerphone functionality. Main pros include its highly pocketable, slim design, an impressively loud audio output for its physical footprint, and versatile connectivity including a 3.5mm auxiliary input. However, its downsides include a relatively short battery life of only around 5 hours, an expensive retail price point relative to competing models, and a tendency for the audio to experience distortion or sound tinny at higher volume levels, especially on bass-heavy tracks.

  • Surprisingly loud volume and big, wide soundstage for its small size
  • Reliable and quick Bluetooth pairing with smartphones and laptops
  • Good, clear built-in microphone for hands-free calling and conference calls
  • Durable, splash-resistant outer casing with a nice, soft silicone grip
  • Decent, present low-end bass and solid mids well-suited for rock music

What customers dislike about Monster Superstar?

  • Audible sound and bass distortion when pushed to high or maximum volumes
  • Lack of on-device track playback controls like play, pause, or skip buttons
  • Considered overpriced or expensive compared to competitors with similar features
  • Noticeably short battery life under heavy use, according to some reviewers
