Superstar Monster Blaster Boom-Box

Absolutely phenomenal speaker. Ive been wanting something with a lot more power for a while as my worksite gets pretty noisy at times (not to mention its outside which adds to sound dissipation) but we cant (technically) wear earbuds and Id rather not. My JBL Charge 4 speaker has been getting me by for a while but it just didnt have enough output to at least be hearable above some things (JBL is roughly 30W, this one is around 72W or so from what Ive been able to find in terms of specs). This thing blows the Charge 4 out of the damn water. Its basically almost the exact same sound quality (Id almost argue its BETTER) but with a helluva lot more volume. I accidentally forgot to turn down the volume before playing and almost every head within a 40-meter radius turned to see what the deal was. As someone whos primarily a metalhead and also a budding audiophile, this thing's sound is super impressive given how much volume it puts out with no distortion at all. It takes basically any music you can imagine that goes through, and in terms of dynamic range it sounds great with both dynamic and compressed music tracks. I doubt Ill be using the mic plugin and the NFC compatibility I dont really care about, but considering the JBL Charge 4 still costs about $140 retail (got this used for about $172 after taxes) this thing is a STEAL. My only complaint is that for more precise volume control its a bit wonky. The difference in volume when turning it up or down is in noticeable leaps. Kinda wish it had a bit more flexibility there, but its not at all a dealbreaker. If youve been looking for a loud, great sounding bluetooth speaker/boombox for noisy environments, this is the one.
