24/6 - have updated with some more info from manual etc below.

I was perusing the Aldi middle aisle and came across this Bluetooth speaker. Not sure how I missed it in the Aldi catalogue last week. It's $299 at JB, $229 at Carlo's Computers (?) so figured what the hey. It's quite impressive sound, will be great annoying others at camping!

    Aldi don't do themselves any favours when it comes to listing specifications for this on their website.

    OP's brief list of key features runs rings around what they have published - maybe that is why there is stock remaining.

      it's not just aldi. JB shows barely any info either.

  • OzyBe on 23/06/2025 - 21:57

    On the Monster site they state 120W, and 2 year warranty.
    Also, they have them in red & white. The red ones look interesting.
    Shame it does not have a USB port to play music direct from flash drive.

    • Gibbo99 on 23/06/2025 - 22:06

      Music from flash drive - is this the 1990s?

      • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 23/06/2025 - 22:11

        yeah might seem silly, but apparently flash drive or Aux in support can be a deal breaker for many people.

        I don't get it either, you are buying a BT speaker to use BT wireless. not keep plugging your USB flash drive back and forth to add music. 😂

      The YT video on the JB site shows a USB port?

      • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 23/06/2025 - 22:11

        it's for charging a phone.

          it's for charging a phone.

          They literally plug a 32GB USB stick into it.

            @Nousernamehere: should check the user manual if you want that feature.

            the one posted in deal is a very old model. can't find it on amazon.com anymore they only have these two now.

            @Nousernamehere: ok I noticed that small thing they are plugging is microSD so maybe it does have flash drive play.

            idk about you but having a tough time finding any sort of info on the speaker in deal.

            I assume the function is the same as the $109 monster because look same as in the video. uses BT 5.0 as well the same as shown on aldi page.

            User manual for $109 monster: https://monsterproducts.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/MT…

            says:

            "SD Card Playback
            When speaker is on and SD card is inserted, SD card is the
            priority playback source. If you want to use Bluetooth function,
            press the “①” Button to switch the source.
            AUX IN Playback
            When speaker is on and audio source is inserted via AUX IN,
            AUX IN is the priority playback source. If you want to use
            Bluetooth function, press the “①” Button to switch the source.
            USB IN (Audio) Playback
            When speaker is on and USB drive is inserted, USB IN (Audio)
            is the priority playback source. If you want to use Bluetooth
            function, press the “①” Button to switch the source.
            Playback Priority
            The Bluetooth mode is the default playback mode, when there
            are multiple audio sources, the playback priority is as follows:
            • SD Mode – first priority
            • AUX IN Mode – second priority
            • USB IN（AUDIO) Mode – third priority
            • Bluetooth Mode – fourth priority            "

            so yes I think deal speaker supports both USB drive and microSD play.

              Thanks for telling me I should "check the user manual if you want that feature" when I simply time stamped a video that the OP listed as the model that ALDI is selling to try and help out OzyBe.

                @Nousernamehere: yeah trying to help as well. actually I thought you were interested in the speaker which is why I recommended checking the user manual before you buy.

                personally I always check first. tbh you shouldn't automatically believe what is done in a video translates to spec. often you will see youtube videos doing this, like plugging stuff in to demonstrate, when the device cant actually do it.

                another example is a big Ultimate ears speaker, which only charges with laptop charging brick (it comes with). it has a micro USB port and videos will wrongly demonstrate it can be charged by USB by showing plugging in a cable.

                  @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: I shouldn't have gone to bed, could have given you both all that info rather than wasting your time, sorry bout that.

                    @Chapp0: it's ok. good price for the speaker btw.

                    most speakers in $70~$100 range are smaller, and this monster is like 5 or 6 times the size for $129.

    • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 23/06/2025 - 22:10

      Also, they have them in red & white. The red ones look interesting.

      are you looking at the Blaster 3.0? it's not the same product as OP, Blaster 3.0 is a more expensive model.
      the aldi page says 60W power.

      if you search amazon.com (US) you can find them all.

    How about the Altec Lansing Soundrover 50 for $99 reduced by 40% @ Big W? Comes with tripod mount and mic.

    Or this Aiwa one for $69.95 @ Jaycar

    • OzyBe on 23/06/2025 - 22:42

      Looks good, that included tripod sets it off.

      Can it be run off mains when the 6 hours battery life is at the low end?

      • CVonC on 24/06/2025 - 02:24

        hmm can probably still have it running while charging I suppose

    • Chapp0 on 24/06/2025 - 09:00

      Both look good, depends what you want it for I guess. I was keen on the Monster for its IP66 rating. The Big W one is getting a bit heavy, but the deal on the Jaycar one is pretty good.

      • angelkulit025 on 24/06/2025 - 10:19

        yeah, jaycar says 60w compared to Big W which is only 50 and much heavier

    My local Aldi had these on clearance for $69 so I picked myself up one as I've been in the market for a decent Bluetooth speaker for a few months.

    I'll have a play around with it when I get home and let you know what I think…
