This is an outstanding BT speaker. It'll waft sweet music or make your neighbors call complaining to " TURN IT DOWN". Wonderful fidelity, attractive, feels well made, solid Monoprice product as always. I'd absolutely recommend this product. As of yesterday 5/19/19 it's an excellent bargain at the open box/refurbished price. It's $140 until gone.David B.

I was excited to try this ever since it was released and ended up buying one recently. Upon unboxing and connecting it there was no sound at all. Tried everything and it just didnt work. I ended up having to mail it back for a replacement. Fast forward about a week and a half later and I recieve the replacement unit. There was a bit of a break in period but once it did I was happy with the sound and believed I got more than my moneys worth. Well.. at first. Fast forward a few days and now this unit is also having problems. One of the tweeters on the left side keeps randomly cutting out and returning every few songs and its rather distracting / annoying. I dont even play it too loud so i couldnt have blown or damaged a driver myself. I already threw out the packaging so i really dont feel like shipping it back and going through the entire replacement process and hope for the best on the 3rd unit. Probably try and fix it myself and cut my losses. Always had good experiences with monoprice and really wanted to love it for its value but they need some better quality inspections on these units.

I can't imagine anything better for the price. I hooked this up to a subwoofer that I had laying around and was quite happy with the sound. There is a lot of bang for your buck here.

A decent unit for home use, but the highs are thru a very metallic tweeter and it doesn't sound all that great - you get used to it of course. Bass and mids are great, very little distortion until near max volume. Running optical out from my PC with no issues, it even auto-wakes when I switch audio devices via windows and start using it.

excellent speaker

This Bluetooth speaker went in our work-out room. It’s perfect because we like to work to loud rock...

I love it! If portability is not a requirement for you, I’d challenge you to find a better home Bluetooth speaker for the price. I crank it up as loud as I can handle, and there is no hint of distortion. It’s a beautiful unit, and connectivity has worked seamlessly. The remote comes in handy. No complaints.

Great sound in a small but efficient package.

Bluetooth Speakers are the rage these days. You see them at the beach, you see people holding them in their hand and bumping a jam in the car, they’re in living rooms, in the park, holy crap you name it everyone you know has one. Walking around with a radio or cassette boom box just isn’t cool anymore. Bluetooth sound technology has grown over the past decade and we are at the point where high quality sound transmitted wirelessly is an expectation. These days you have portable speakers ranging from $10 all the way to high end gear in the thousands.

Everyone wants the best value for their money. Not everyone can spend $1000 for mind blowing sound, and we end up compromising cost for quality. Hell, before I had the Sound Stage 3, I had a Logitech UE Boom as my “home sound system” to stream music from my iPhone, which worked great. And you know what? For a lot of people that’s OK and great for people who like to bring their music around with them. However, if you were to spend just a little more you can get the Sound Stage 3 and sometimes for the same price. Let me tell you, this thing blew me away. I really didn’t know what to expect and was pretty set on my Bose 5 Sound Bar for my home music needs, but isn’t as practical as I like it to be.

The Mono Price Sound Stage 3 is compact enough to go on a book shelf, but powerful enough for a medium to large sized living room. It’s about the size of a shoe box but it comes packed with 120W of sound (1x80W and 2x20W) with RCA, 3.5 AUX, Optical S/PDIF, on top of the Bluetooth aptX connection.

You can also pair this with another SoundStage for a richer stereo experience. Setup was really easy. You can just plug into the outputs or quickly pair to your Bluetooth device. There’s also a simple remote that allows you to adjust the volume, bass, treble, and source which is always nice to have.

Most of us don’t care about all of the above… what we care about is how it sounds. In one word… fantastic. These sound way up there with the Sonos speakers that I’ve heard with great sound range, deep bass if you want it, and great clarity. I play a mix of alternative rock, reggae, latin pop, classical, R&B and hip hop and every genre sounded amazingly loud and clear. Even in the lower volume range was good too but these things get really loud even in a large size room.

I’m not saying this will replace your mega expensive sound system, but for those who want to spend less than $200 and have a classy looking system with excellent sound, the SoundStage 3 is an excellent value.

I bought this on a whim to put in my office. I thought it looked good in the photos and the specs looked good as well. Once it arrived I hooked it up, paired my iPad and Wow! I am blown away by the sound, especially the bass performance. It is very balanced and sounds good from very low to very loud. The bass is incredible and tight no matter how loudly I am driving it. I got the black lacquer and it even looks great. Everyone in the office is jealous and I expect more than one person will be buying one of their own. Definitely worth the money spent.
