Features
Waterproof & Dustproof (IP67): The Monster DNA Max portable Bluetooth speaker is IP67-rated which means it can withstand immersion in water up to 3-feet deep for 30 minutes, plus is protected from dust intrusion. You can feel confident taking the DNA Max speaker by the pool, to the park, on your camping trip, or other outdoor adventures.
Omnidirectional Sound: The Monster DNA Max portable Bluetooth speaker houses two 2.0625" drivers and two 2.75" x 1.5" passive radiators with a frequency response of 90Hz to 20kHz. There is one 2.0625" driver and one 2.75" x 1.5" passive radiator coupled together on each side of the speaker for omnidirectional sound all around your listening area. The two 2.0625" drivers are powered by a 15 watt x 2 channel amplifier for clear, distortion-free sound outdoors or indoors.
Bluetooth 5.1: The Monster DNA Max speaker features built-in Bluetooth 5.1 with support for wireless audio streaming (A2DP 1.2) and control AVRCP (1.2), plus hands-free communication (HFP 1.5) with a built-in microphone (HSP 1.1). You can pair multiple Bluetooth-enabled devices to the DNA Max, but only one device can be connected and used at a time. It has a Bluetooth wireless range up to 150-feet.
- Wireless Audio Streaming: You'll be able to wirelessly streaming stored music, music apps, and other audio content on your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer to the DNA Max speaker. You'll also be able to control basic playback functions such as Play/Pause and Previous/Next Track. Advanced playback functions and song/artist/album information will still be done from your Bluetooth-source device.
- Hands-Free Communication: You'll also be able to take calls on your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone using the Monster DNA Max. Simply use the speaker's top-panel controls to answer a call and speak into the DNA Max's built-in microphone, while listening to the caller through the DNA Max speaker. You can also end or reject a phone call using the speaker's top-panel controls. The Monster DNA Max only allows you to answer a call; you cannot make a call from the speaker.
Note: Your Bluetooth streaming music will pause during a phone call, and start playback again once the call is ended or rejected.
Top-Panel Controls: The Monster DNA Max speaker offers convenient top-panel push-button controls for frequently used functions such as Power On/Off, Volume Up/Down, Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, Answer/End/Reject, Pairing, and Party Mode (Monster Share).
Party Mode (Monster Share): Party Mode (Monster Share) lets you synchronize your music with up to 99 other Monster DNA speakers (sold separately). Simply use the DNA Max's top-panel controls (no smartphone app required) to sync your other Monster DNA speakers to create an outdoor area full of sound.
USB-C Charging Port: The Monster DNA Max is outfitted with a USB-C charging port (5V/1A) and comes with a 6' USB-C cable to fast charge your portable electronic devices, like your smartphone or tablet.
Rechargeable Battery + Qi Charging Pad: The Monster DNA Max features a built-in lithium-on rechargeable battery (7.4V/500mAh) that can provide up to 20 hours of music playback and 100 hours of standby time. The DNA Max also includes a magnetic Qi wireless charging pad (10W) custom designed for the speaker and its built-in rechargeable battery. The charging pad plugs into the included USB/AC power adapter and an available AC power outlet. The Qi wireless charging pad can fully charge the built-in battery in about 5 hours. In addition, the DNA Max can be used with other Qi wireless chargers (sold separately).
Detachable Hand-Strap: A detachable hand-strap makes the Monster DNA Max portable Bluetooth speaker easy to carry at only 2.43 lbs.

The speaker sounds great, the 360 sound field really fill the room with clear audio. The ability to easily Qi charge is so much better than having to plug it in with a cable. Connectivity is quick and seems to stay well connected at a good amount of distance. Would recommend
