Trash quality. Sound like ocean/ static

You can hear whooshing static noise loudly! Very annoying and unsettling. Ruins the sound quality and experience. Don't buy this speaker! Just go for a JBL or Sony or even skullcandy! Run from this garbage if it wasn't for that awful hissing/static noise then this would be a good speaker. You can even hear it once you pause the music.
As one speaker it's nice specially for the price , as a pair it really sucks , connection takes multiple attempts and some times one speaker keeps cutting out then you have to turn everything off and try again , the voice notification is loud and gives you a heart attack at night , I can't believe they released it like this , what a shame for a nice sounding speaker .
1. Order multiple for the "party connect option". When using even 2 at the same time the audio quality is absolute garbage, choppy, static sound. 2. Attempted to reach out to Monster (the manufacturer) for some troubleshooting help (since there isn't any in the manual). Their idea of help was to post my issue to a public message board so that the general (unpaid) public could help.
The lesson... I will never purchase another product from this company ever again.
I bought two of these speakers at the same time to be able to use them and party mode or stereo mode. Upon opening The boxes, I noticed that one of the speakers was completely tinged around the edges, almost like it had suffered some kind of water damage. I still tried them and realized that they sound terrible. They make this weird static noise when you listen to them on low volume, which is clearly audible. One of them started making this other weird noise as well. I have returned them and purchased two other ones hoping that maybe I just got unlucky with two defective ones. Sure enough, these make the same weird noises as well. Personally I don’t think these are even worth a penny and they are going back. Absolute garbage.
I didn't expect the speaker to be as massive both in size and weight. I intended it to be my listening-in-my-office speaker but it's too loud and you hear dead air at low volumes (the volume I would listen to at my desk) so it's my at-home speaker to blast music. Sound is good and bass is pretty decent. What I heavily dislike are the power on/off chimes and voice prompts. The volume on that cannot be adjusted. Everyone and their dog will know hear it turn on/off. Otherwise, I've had Monster before and the speakers are underrated.
