Same here and I’m rigging with a crane all day I’m wondering if it’s okay when I’m on top plates and joists rigging stuff up looking underneath. I don’t want it to fall off
I have the Sonys and love them. I don't know why these types of speakers haven't become more popular....great for walking outdoors because you can still hear the surroundings. I mostly use mine for watching tv without having loud sounds to disturb others in the home
Just won a set of these off BIDFTA for $13.16. Charged them after opening, & have been using them ever sense while unboxing & assembling my auction wins from today. Absolutely awesome sound quality. I've watched a movie, listened to some music, & have them on now while watching this video. I can't stand in ear headphones, nor earbuds. And over the ear headphone aren't always convenient to wear. I usually have a Bluetooth speaker around while working, but if i change locations it's not always possible to hear said speaker, unless I take it with me. Not always possible with hands full. This monster speaker is perfect for me. It goes where I go & doesn't affect ability to work. Wife won a set of earbuds before I won the monster set. I was using them while feeding our livestock, & the kept falling out onto the ground. That's a pain, & I won't be using them anymore.
Honestly, after having used these for 2.5 years, I have zero complaints when you can often find them for ~$50-$60. On a really good sale, ~$40. My mom loved the pair I got her so much that she just got the, "petite" model for $40 on sale with a coupon this week and she loves them too. They are a niche use product and you are completely right about not being able to use them in public. In the car and around the house, they are amazing.
Damn 2.5 yrs thats actually good, but at what point do you feel the battery life shortened? if these had easy replaceable internal battery this would have been so good, I bought one today and I do like them, just worried about battery life in the long run.
@@maimaibiri9045 I haven't noticed the battery degrade at all. I'm sure it isn't as good as brand new but it lasts a very long time on a single charge and I have never used it from full to depleted on a single use so I can't really compare the two. All I can say is that there is no noticable degradation
I don't know about this one...but I've had the Bose forever. I wear it to the grocery store all the time...because I like to hear if someone is trying to get past me. I keep the volume down...since I'm usually just listening to Podcasts. And people can't seem to hear...unless they are right next to me.
I love how value focus your videos are and this is no exception. Anything that you find would benefit people or would be a steal ... you just immediately cover it in detail.
Using android. Toggle "disable absolute volume" Setting under developer options & ive found out that it does not try to auto adjust volume when base turn on.
Just got mine and the sound quality is for me great! I tested it on my PC, Switch, Phone, and Steam Deck. I can literally feel the bass in my shoulder blades, which is fun! I didn't really notice the lag in my games, its latency is even better than AirPods pro to my experience. I was initially hesitant to get this one due to the comments about audio limiting but I have yet to experience that (partly because I'm not really an expert in audio technicalities so maybe it's in there just that I don't know it's already there if you know what i mean) So far everything I listened to sounded great and I'm satisfied with the overall quality of the lows mids and highs. P.S. I really, really regret buying that Hori Surround 3D surround gaming neck set -- that thing sounded SO bad I'm even ashamed to resell it even at half its price haha
@@orangedrink888 unfortunately for music games like djmax there’s delay but ive only tried djmax on a psp emulator on SD im not sure if the other versions have input delay adjustments if there is then yeah definitely a game changer!
@@beamboy420 for movies it works great! but now i do experience that muffled effect when the bass is too strong. other than that it’s great for movies and can sort of feel the surround sounf with the right settings etc!
Thank you, Sir.. for such a complete and informative review. Appreciate it. But I'm on the verge between buying this, and Sony SRS-NB10. When you said you already tried Sony neck speaker (along other brands, was that the Sony speaker you talked about?) If not, have you ever tried it? and which one would you recommend more? Thank you kind sir.. VGE
Please consider doing a review on a replacement or better than the boomerang system. I have the boomerang and the Bose version. comparable still looking for the next level of performance.. ideally with more bass
Kinda wished it came with a protective bag or case. Same thing with the bose one. I had to buy a case for it for the bose one, guess ill have to buy one for this one too. Cant beat the $60 i just got it for though.
9m:16s and you couldn’t clarify what the one button’s function that is not obvious. The button that looks like a large dot (to the left of the obvious power button).
I have to disagree with the claim that it's not so much a personal speaker. As long as it's left at a reasonable volume, the sound absolutely stays localized.
I gotta have these for sure Keith 😂 😂, the cut price is right too! With Amazon prime coming in a few days I wonder if they will lower it even more or maybe take 10% off (tax)?
How do u describe if it is flimsy and have to be carful throwing in your bag and try not to bend it to fit? Or it is very durable. Looking for something I use all day work and additional gaming at night so hope it not super flimsy to break
I bought one off someone on Facebook marketplace, “still packaged in box.” Every time the bass hits, the music almost cuts low, it feels like it lowers every bass hit. Anybody have this problem?
i cant seem to connect to my desktop with this speaker, i dont know if any one else had this problem. if you do and were able to fix it could you possibly inform me
Great… this turns people into a walking boombox. What’s the point when you have earbuds with much better sound quality? I could see it being good for movies though.
I've just bought one for £100 on Amazon, is my 4th speaker in 5 years as previously I've bought cheap ones to use when cycling to work which clearly don't last (I drop them all the time unfortunately). This however doesn't even charge?? or turn on without being plugged into a power bank... so I've ordered a refund. Shame as the sound was really good.
lo peor de los monster boomerang es que los speaker se rompen facil y suenan mal despues de poco tiempo! tengo mas de 5 y todos funcionan mal despues de poco tiempo!
As a forklift driver who can’t use headphones anymore this thing looks good
Same here and I’m rigging with a crane all day I’m wondering if it’s okay when I’m on top plates and joists rigging stuff up looking underneath. I don’t want it to fall off
Bro exact reason i ordered mine one of my supervisors keeps fucking with me for having 1 airpod in so im gonna outsmart his ass
@@reggiemoore21🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 same here‼️
Sounds Good!! And feels good
Same here ! Hahah

I love the newer Sony Ones with Dolby Atmos. They sound fantastic
I think the current market maybe the new younger generations prefer looks and cosmetic over quality and functionality? Just an opinion

A demo of how they sound to others would have been great. You say it, but to hear it would have been useful.

bought them from a pawnshop for 37bucks was def a steal
The reviews constantly mention audio limiting and reliability. Sounds like this is hit or miss
It does feel like it holds back some with more chaotic stuff for sure

Good to know these work well on the steam deck! Playing DJMAX with these will be a gamechanger!
Hey any updates. How are these compared to headphones for watching movies ?

Best review on the Monster Boomerang I've seen, thank you Gamesky. I'm a basshead as well, gonna get me one of these, music, games or riding.
Can someone actually play the damn thing
Yes
Doing it at this second
Sold!!!! I’ll them out, because I don’t wanna keep putting AirPods in my ears.
I work on a car assembly line and use mine everyday since we’re not allowed to use headphones but speakers are allowed
Always "on sale". That just means that's the regular price.
I love these, they sound great. The only negative is that the battery life isn't that good.
How comfortable are they around your neck wail laying down or sleeping, playing white noise or relaxing sounds?
It’s not that comfortable for relaxing, better for sitting
I think it would be better to put them in front of your chest while sleeping.
How do you review speakers but not play a demonstration of the sound?
Because the sound on our phones or pcs won't represent how it sounds?
@@elnoruego6854it can if he records using ambi recorder and the viewer uses headphones
I loved the part where you gave a demo of it in use.
Please consider doing a review on a replacement or better than the boomerang system. I have the boomerang and the Bose version. comparable still looking for the next level of performance.. ideally with more bass
Which neckband speakers would you recommend!? A Budget one nd a overall best??
Do they support surround sound?
What's your top 3 wearable speakers in order?
Dang, it was onsale yesterday I thought the promo would end at the end of the month, I was gonna buy one XD.
I work in a loud factory and I listen to a lot of heavy metal...do you think these could keep up with extreme music and environment?
Damn bro, same haha. I’m doing a little research as well
Try it
@@christianmarcusdills1224try it
Are these more slimmer than the sonys?
Quick question from all the neck bands u tested which one sounds the best. I’ve heard the bose previously
I would put these and the Sony SRS-NSR7 over the Bose. In fact, the Monsters sound very similar to the Bose
Ok. Not bad for the price then… thx 4 the quick reply
❤ they are Water Proof shower and bathtub friendly ❤
I have one of the Monster and the Sony and there is not much difference. The only problem is that it starts off in full volume
how is this compare to the Bose wearable ?
Kinda wished it came with a protective bag or case.
Same thing with the bose one. I had to buy a case for it for the bose one, guess ill have to buy one for this one too. Cant beat the $60 i just got it for though.
Excellent, I am using the neckband. ❤❤❤
can you make the sound louder on the left since I have a bad hearing on the left
Are these better for music than the Sony srs ns7 neck band ??? Thanks
This is better
Man iv been walking listening to music on my phone speaker because I don't want to get run over 😅so this would be awesome for me great video
9m:16s and you couldn’t clarify what the one button’s function that is not obvious. The button that looks like a large dot (to the left of the obvious power button).
Have you hooked it up to monster app? If so how did you do it? Because I can't seem to do it 😤
Review on best personal speakers available 🤔
Thanks…I enjoyed your review. Blessings on your day 👍🏻
How well do these sound with a helmet on riding low speed on trails?
Can you make a video on the new Bose QC2? apparently they have better ANC than even the Sony XM4 and AirPods Pro 2
Can you use it while driving?
Did you try them for gaming? How's the latency?
Interesting product I never knew I wanted.
There was very little latency with gaming on a Pixel phone
hey im wondering if you are able to turn off "bluetooth ready to pair/Goodbye" voice when you turn on/off the device and if so how..?
I have to disagree with the claim that it's not so much a personal speaker. As long as it's left at a reasonable volume, the sound absolutely stays localized.
Which earpiece is good for gaming ? Please help
I gotta have these for sure Keith 😂 😂, the cut price is right too! With Amazon prime coming in a few days I wonder if they will lower it even more or maybe take 10% off (tax)?
you can use this exclusive code "gamesky10" for 10% off, also you can use any code with this one together, it can be stacked for use. 😀
How do u describe if it is flimsy and have to be carful throwing in your bag and try not to bend it to fit? Or it is very durable. Looking for something I use all day work and additional gaming at night so hope it not super flimsy to break
1 year later $59.99
Is it possible that you can review the monster blaster 3.0
Lol did you seriously refer to passive radiators as bass diaphragms.
I bought one off someone on Facebook marketplace, “still packaged in box.”
Every time the bass hits, the music almost cuts low, it feels like it lowers every bass hit.
Anybody have this problem?
How are they with gaming? Is there latency issues/lag?
The mic could stand to improve. It sounds muffled.
Can you plese please do a full review on the library soundcore 4 please...I been waiting
i cant seem to connect to my desktop with this speaker, i dont know if any one else had this problem. if you do and were able to fix it could you possibly inform me
Great… this turns people into a walking boombox. What’s the point when you have earbuds with much better sound quality?
I could see it being good for movies though.
While working in environment were you can’t have headphones.
better then the bose?
My problem is that my connectivity is really poor. We have two. My wife’s is fine. Do you know what I can do?
Check to make sure you have the latest firmware on them
Lol that is the most abysmal microphone I've ever heard on a device.
Where's the sound samples?
The bass vibrations is what really adds to the sound of these and there is no way to pick that up or replicate that with a sample
Does it suipport AptX LL?
Damn good question. The JBL neck speaker does.
I just checked, yes it does.
I've just bought one for £100 on Amazon, is my 4th speaker in 5 years as previously I've bought cheap ones to use when cycling to work which clearly don't last (I drop them all the time unfortunately). This however doesn't even charge?? or turn on without being plugged into a power bank... so I've ordered a refund. Shame as the sound was really good.
Will these stay on if you’re working(squatting and then standing, bending, lifting things, etc)?
very nice at home 👍
lo peor de los monster boomerang es que los speaker se rompen facil y suenan mal despues de poco tiempo! tengo mas de 5 y todos funcionan mal despues de poco tiempo!
Hell yea
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gamesky Thanks Much !
Sadly. I think I would just actually use this as a goddamn boomerang 🤷🏻♂️
Nobody has mentioned the noticeable audio delay which make it out of sync which video. Anyone else notice this?
Not noticed
This guy just talks and talks.
So I just happened upon this 10% off code JGWQEU8U which makes it even less to buy. Looking forward to trying this out
You won't be disappointed
I like mine
hey im wondering if you are able to turn off "bluetooth ready to pair/Goodbye" voice when you turn on/off the device and if so how..?
Have you found a way, please?
