Bought this to combine with a pre-amp pedal to create a versatile rig for acoustic and electric bass, guitar, and double bass. Really great performance for the price. Clear and accurate acoustic instrument reproduction.

I don't think this works that well for playing music thru it but it sounds pretty good playing my Nux MG-30 multi-effects pedal thru it and then to the P.A.

I really want to love this speaker but after 3 weeks of ownership and testing, it has fallen short of my expectations. It performs admirably when amplifying voices through a microphone or two, but the quality of music streamed through the Bluetooth player is lacking. The mids and highs crackle noticeably at most volumes and no matter which equalization setting you choose. I've also tried feeding music through the guitar input (still have to try the RCA), slight improvement but still not acceptable for regular listening. It's OK for karaoke, or a party when people are chatting away, but if you want to cleanly DJ some songs, you'll notice. I've emailed MonoPrice to see if they can help me troubleshoot but it's been crickets so far. I guess I'm not shocked given the price.

For the money, this little speaker is actually quite a bargain. I does distort a little at high volume, and certainly doesn't have the bass of my 15" SRD's (duh), yet it is perfect for the application for which it is used: Microphone Audio for a meeting each week. Honestly, that speaker shouldn't really fill the large room like it does, and everyone really likes it. I do also love that I can play Bluetooth audio through the speaker before and after the meeting. This is a great deal, for the price.

I use these as stage monitors for my band. Initially, the plan was to use them as main PA speakers for small gigs, but the quality of the built-in amp is not good enough for that. High frequencies start clipping pretty quickly as you increase the volume, and bass response is lacking - even considering realistic expectations for a 10" PA speaker. They do work fine as stage monitors in "Voice" setting and at low-to-mid volume. Given that the purchase price was comparable to what you have to pay for unpowered stage monitors, I can't complain too much.

I bought 3 of these units for front of stage monitors. They performed perfectly for almost 30 hours until one unit failed. It actually failed in a plume of smoke and the smell of an electrical fire right in the middle of a performance. My only other complaint is the bluetooth radio is so weak that you have to leave the bt phone on the bt speaker itself for it to work without pauses in the audio. This defeats the purpose of wireless audio if the device range is so short. In my case, I just used a higher quality bluetooth receiver through the P.A. itself. Problem solved but again, the wireless bluetooth feature is nearly unusable on these speakers due to their weak signal strength. All three monitors, I purchased, had weak bluetooth radios.

I am a guitar player that uses a modeler direct to PA when playing live. I use this to tweak my tone and levels at home to ensure a good consistent sound when playing live through our bigger PA. It is loud enough to use as a monitor, and I raise it off the floor to avoid the "ground effect" that will make it sound boomy.

I approached buying these with trepidation, I mean come on, at that price, its got to be garbage right? Well surprisingly, its pretty good. As in, small receptions, backyard bbq or small breakout room with spoken word good. Is it for live music? not really in my opinion. Its very clear when it runs out of gas and then sounds not so great. this isnt a QSC even if its styled similarly. The bluetooth works, the amp module works. The front is actually better than I thought it would be. The cab itself is molded plastic, I wouldnt drop it too much but it seems sturdy enough. For the price, these would pay for themselves quite quickly. I'd say these sound better than a Mackie Thump, the real corner cutting being the horn itself. With better horns they would sound really pretty good. But hey, for this price, its impressive how they sound. Add a sub and you have a full range system.

Great speaker. Exceeded my expectations. Very versatile and easy to use. I will order a second one soon.

The electronics dont seem to be of a great quality, I am suspecting one of the large power capacitors to be the issue. When it worked it was OK - I used it as a monitor for guitar multi-effects pedal. It does color the sound. I can see people using it for loud music but not for fidelity necessarily. Either way its not worth it if it doesnt work. Guitar center or Sam ash constantly has sales on their house brand thats very comparable or slightly more expensive.

Now the return process, mono price promptly gave me an RMA number but wanted to replace it(No option for just return). But they were out of stock - which they informed me and stopped responding. Not good. Eventually opened a dispute and got it resolved that way.
