The Little Portable Speakers That Could: A Review of the 100-Dollar Powerhouse

As I sit here under the bright LEDs of this 5000-kelvin flashlight, I am reminded of just how efficient and practical it is. Whether you're camping, heading to the beach at night, or engaging in clandestine activities under the cover of darkness, this flashlight has got your back. And with its affordable price point of $50, it's hard not to appreciate the value that comes with owning such a reliable and powerful tool.

But what really sets this speaker apart is its ability to produce deep, bass-heavy sound. When I say "bass-heavy," I mean it. This thing can move. Whether you're listening to music or answering an end phone call, the sound emanating from these speakers is nothing short of impressive. And let's not forget about the multi-functional button - it's like having a Swiss Army knife built into your speaker.

The ability to answer calls and skip tracks is just one of the many features that make this speaker so convenient. But what really takes it to the next level is its ability to produce sound that rivals some of the bigger, more expensive speakers on the market. I've compared it directly to the Monster Superstar Hotshot, and let me tell you, they hold their own.

The sound test was a clear winner in my book. Paired with the same phone and playing the same song under the same conditions, the difference between these two speakers is stark. The Pure Monster Sound speaker is capable of producing some truly incredible bass, rivaling even the more expensive Hotshot. And let's not forget about the flashlight - 5000 kelvins is no joke, folks.

But don't just take my word for it. I put both speakers through their paces, using them to test out the speakerphone feature. With a call set up and ready to go, I was able to see firsthand how well these speakers handled phone calls. The sound quality was clear and crisp, with no distortion or interference. And when it came time to answer, the speakerphone feature came in handy - making it easy to pick up without having to leave my seat.

The Monster Hotshot is definitely worth considering if you're looking for a more premium experience. But at $100 compared to this speaker's $50 price tag, it's hard not to feel like you're getting ripped off. The Pure Monster Sound speaker has everything the Hotshot has, and then some - including that 5000-kelvin flashlight.

So what does it all come down to? Is the Pure Monster Sound speaker worth the extra $50 compared to the Monster Superstar Hotshot? In my book, the answer is a resounding yes. You get a speakerphone, a flashlight with 5000 kelvins of brightness, and mad bass - all for under $100. That's a value that can't be beat.

But don't just take my word for it. I want to hear from you - have you tried the Pure Monster Sound speaker before? Do you agree that it's worth the extra $50 compared to the Hotshot?
