Consensus
our Verdict
Product analyst praised the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270X, recommending it for podcasts and indoor and outdoor parties. Experts at RTINGS lauded its mic, mic/guitar, and USB charging ports. Reviewers at Best Reviews applauded its EQ presets and sliders. It doesn’t support voice assistants, though. Check out our Oontz Angle 3 ULTRA review for a device that supports smartphone voice assistants. Testing revealed an impressive 64.7-hour battery life. Reaching a 95.7 dB SPL during testing, this device is loud and boasts a low 2.24 dB DRC, maintaining good audio quality at its highest volume setting. The device proved to have a narrow soundstage, featuring a 4.48 dB directivity index. It has a decent 53.4Hz to 15.3kHz frequency response range and a fair 3.95 dB standard error, producing pretty neutral, well-balanced music. However, it has a high 253 ms iOS Bluetooth latency and 248 ms Android latency and lacks speakerphone functions. See our Marshall Willen review if you need speakerphone features. The 270X also downmixes stereo to audio.
