There's a rubberized skin that covers the back of the speaker that clever acts to amplify the sound coming out of the device (same principle as those silicone horns that you attach to your smartphone). It also works really well as a speakerphone. It uses the Bluetooth aptX streaming protocol and connects easily to one device at a time. and measures 8.1" wide x 5.5" tall x 1.9" deep. Shaquille O'Neal has endorsed the speaker, which I guess is supposed to suggest the gigantic sound from the small speaker, which weighs just 7 oz. The Superstar (which lists at $149, but you can easily find it at $130) claims to be the world's smallest audiophile speaker. I'll be reviewing the new products once they're released, but, in the meantime, I've spent some time with the Monster Superstar portable wireless speaker and the Monster Powercard portable backup battery. Let's just say that some of the new products sound even better. Monster makes several lines of lifestyle headphones that out-bling almost anything on the market, but they've also put out the DNA line that can compete with any headphones at their price point and the excellent iSport workout earbuds. As of today the champagne gold version is only $20.Since Beats left Monster, it seems like Lee's been on a mission to compete on both fronts. Additionally, you’ll find it in a variety of colors at Amazon, too. You can pick up a Powercard Turbo charger via Monster’s website for approximately $50. Never get caught with your power down again, get a Powercard Turbo and keep your device working for hours. The two inch USB cord is easy to keep track of because I can keep it plugged into the device. When it comes down to it, this is a really great power bank as it’s tough, durable and charges my smartphone quickly. After that, hit the power button and let it go to work. Once ready, simply switch the USB charging cord so the microUSB end is plugged into your smartphone and the standard USB end is hooked into the Powercard Turbo. After about two hours the Powercard Turbo will be ready to charge your smartphone. Using the Powercard Turbo is extremely easy you take the two inch USB charging cable, plug the microUSB connector into the port then plug the standard USB port into the wall plug. Nevertheless, there’s plenty of reserve juice should you run low earlier in the day than you’d like. Older devices might be able to get up to two charges out of it but today’s devices are inching into this space. In terms of capacity, the Powercard Turbo comes with 3350mAh, which is more than you’ll find in most smartphones. If by some miracle you manage to break the Powercard, the charger comes with a one year warranty for products sold in North America and a two year warranty for products sold in Europe. All that trauma and it still fully charged my phone in under forty minutes. Then, I knocked it off my desk and also had it slide off my lap onto the parking lot at work. Within the first hours of having it in my possession, my son dropped it on the tile floor in my kitchen. The Powercard Turbo, made by Monster, is just that, a monster, especially in quality of the build. The key to floating to the top of the sea of charging banks is to simply put out a quality product at a reasonable price that is exactly what the Powercard Turbo does.
