Review: Monster Clarity Bluetooth Speaker
Review: Monster Clarity Bluetooth Speaker
Wednesday, December 26, 2012
Having a conversation with friends and family using a cell phone’s speakerphone function can be frustrating. Difficult to hear and understand both for you and the person on the other end of the phone call. Also, sharing a video from a laptop, smart cell phone or iPad/touch screen device delivers disappointing audio. No more. This nifty device - the Monster Clarity HD Wireless Bluetooth Speaker delivers amazing sound quality for something that fits in the palm of your hand. Bass response is surprisingly good. Volume - plenty to fill your RV’s living room or enjoying a restful afternoon under your RV’s awning.
I’ve tested this successfully for phone conversations and listening to music. I especially like that the speaker also has controls that will advance to the next audio track by pressing a button. Handy if your phone is not nearby.
If you don’t have a device that supports Bluetooth, no worries - the speaker also includes a 1/8” stereo input jack for a wired connection to your phone, laptop, or other device. This speaker has a built in rechargeable battery and includes a USB cable for recharging.
List price is $99. I found it on sale for $50 at a local electronics shop. I see on the monster website that that they have refurb units for as little as $39.
