The Blaster 3.0 doesn’t come with any dedicated app support, giving you no flexibility to tailor the sound how you might want. The mode button only really switches between the indoor and outdoor modes, where Monster’s Environment EQ feature kicks in to optimize audio for either setting. You do get some ports to work with, like the Aux-In jack for 3.5mm cables, as well as a separate 3.5mm port for microphones.Ĭontrols are pretty standard, with an on/off button, plus volume buttons. Monster doesn’t provide a way to articulate or consolidate the sound to push in either direction, so if you do plant it close to a wall, you may lose some of the spaciousness that sound can otherwise deliver. There is no real “front” or “back” to it, as the speakers face in both directions for broader output, especially when you start cranking up the volume. Under the surface, Monster equips the Blaster 3.0 with dual 60-watt speakers, along with two passive radiators and a 60-watt woofer for the bass.

There are no functional differences between them apart from the aesthetics, but if you did want to make the sound even more visually noticeable, red would probably be the way to go. My review unit was black, but I would say the red is much more of an eye-catcher. The Blaster 3.0 comes in three colors: Black, white, and red.
